andreasviklund.com

The general idea with this site is that the content should be free to download and use in various ways. But there are a number of differences between the content types, and this document is created to give an easy overview of the copyright information. Latest update: August 12th, 2008.

General terms

Unless otherwise stated, all downloadable material on this website is provided "As-Is", without any warranty or liability.

Texts and images

All texts and graphics/images on this site are created by Andreas Viklund (unless otherwise is stated). If you want to copy or use any of my images or texts, please mention andreasviklund.com as the source. I would also appreciate if you could contact me before you publish any of my texts or images elsewhere. Most photos are available in higher resolution if requested.

Free templates

The free website templates (and all included images and related extras) are released as free material. It means that you may use the templates for free for any purpose, personal as well as commercial, without any obligations or conditions. I kindly ask that you leave the "Design by Andreas Viklund" credit link since that is a nice way of giving something back to me. But if you really need (or want) to remove the link, you are free to do so.

However, if you remove the credits from any of my templates and then use it for commercial purposes, I strongly encourage you to make a small donation through PayPal - to help me keep this website online and to inspire me to release more free templates.

If you want to keep the credit link, but you think that the link text or location doesn't fit in the footer of your website, you may of course change the text or move it to some other location on the site (such as a "credits" page). You may also change the text if you want to, for example if you make significant changes to the design.

Updated: Template-specific add-on material that is available on the single template pages, for example replacement header images or backgrounds, are free to use as specified with the templates. Re-distribution of this material and use for other purposes than as template add-ons will require a written permission from the add-on author.

Premium templates

The premium templates (also called "commercial templates") are not my own, as they are sold through an affiliate agreement with 4Templates.com. They are not public domain and may not be redistributed in any way. For details about the terms and conditions for the commercial templates, see 4Templates.com.

Song lyrics

The lyrics are the property of Andreas Viklund and Björn Karlsson, and the texts may not be published, recorded or used elsewhere without a written permission from the author(s). If you want to use any of the lyrics in any way, please contact me and let me know what you want to do, thanks!

Music and audio content

TSEC and Lagoona songs are © 1996-2004 A. Viklund and B. Karlsson. Leeloo Project songs and samples are © 1998-2008 J. Persson and A. Viklund. All other audio are © 1996-2008 Andreas Viklund unless otherwise is stated.

The music and audio recordings on this site are released as free music with full sharing permissions for non-commercial usage. It means that you may download the songs for free, copy them and burn them on CD or DVD for free, share them with anyone through any website or file-sharing system for free and play them for free - with a few simple conditions mentioned below:

1. The music must remain free and non-commercial at all times. You may not sell it in any way, and you may not use it for any kind of commercial purposes unless you obtain a commercial licence from the original author (see below).

2. The proper credits (artist name, song title and the URL to the music section of this site, http://andreasviklund.com/music/) must always be given whenever the music is used for any purpose, or shared with others. The file names and the ID3 tags should not be altered if the music is re-distributed. If you for example use a song on a DVD production or as background music on a website, you need to show the artist name, title and URL somewhere close to where the music is played, to make sure that anyone who is interested in the music can find more information in an easy way.

3. If you share the music with others, you must inform them about these conditions. This can be done by adding a link to the music section of this website as mentioned above (recommended!) or directly to this page. You can also attach a text file or HTML document with a copy of this text.

(Note: These conditions will soon be replaced by this Creative Commons Attribution license. It is basically the same terms but it is an actual license rather than just simple written conditions, so please read the license if you plan on using the music in your works!)
