Legal
Okay, so I have to make some legal statements here... let's try to do this as painlessly as possible:
1. Terms of Use
You are reading my website and purchasing my digital line art drawings at your own risk. I'm pretty sure nothing I've said or drawn is fatal but let's be clear, you are reading and purchasing of your own free will.
2. Copyright and Intellectual Property
All written material and images on Sketch Garden, Sketch-Garden.com, VanillaArts.com, MarkerNovice.com and on the Teachable platform are the property of Amy Shulke and Vanilla Arts Company. You may not reprint, publish, sell, share or otherwise distribute materials without prior express written permission.
Digital Line Art drawings and concepts are also protected. DO NOT reprint, publish, or recreate concepts which have been purchased from Sketch Garden, Sketch-Garden.com and Vanilla Arts Company.
You DO NOT have the right to reproduce, sell, share, or teach Sketch Garden, Sketch-Garden.com and Vanilla Arts Company materials in any type of workshop, seminar, class, talk, or workshop- neither live nor online without prior express written permission.
You DO NOT have the right to syndicate a post without prior express written permission.
3. Hold Harmless

4. Privacy
For digital Line Art drawing purchases where credit card information is required, the card numbers are held by the processing company (Squarespace, Teachable, etc). I can not access your account numbers nor do I retain your credit card information.
5. Reserved Rights

I monitor comment areas and discussion boards. I will remove inappropriate comments and will ban those who do not contribute to a pleasant atmosphere.
"Forever Access" classes and files are not literally forever the way the universe is. "Forever" implies the life of the website which is solely at my discretion.
6. Advertisements, Sponsors, and Associates
I do not accept site advertisements, period.
I would consider sponsorship but only if it is a product I can fully stand behind. I have no sponsors to date and have never pursued any sponsorship programs. Inquiries to info@vanillaarts.com.

7. Correspondence
Comments, emails, letters, messages, tweets, or even a thumbs up as you pass me on the street may be used as topics for positive discussion in classes or on the blog.
Submitted completed line art drawing photos may be used as samples, examples, or blog topics on the website or in a newsletter. I also like to share your amazing artwork on my websites. Wherever possible, I give submitter's credit (first name, sometimes last initial). I'm sorry but I can not watermark your artwork for you, nor can I fix bad photography.
If you do not want me to cheer about your artwork and share it as inspiration to other students and readers, please do not send it to me.
