Most Recent Upload: December 2003

Autumn Star's original graphics are LINKWARE, sort of "free"; there is no monetary charge for their use but license to use them is granted conditionally.

Use of Autumn Star's Gratis Graphics implies that you've read and agreed to the conditions described in the middle column. Please read them.

When you have read and agreed, you may preview all the free graphics and many sample pages by clicking on "HOME" to reveal its' pop up menu. Or simply click here! ; )

 

1) Autumn Star graphics may only be used for a personal web page, small business (no more than 4 employees with annual gross income under 150K) or a not-for-profit web site. Any party using the graphics may not use them in the engagement of creating pornography (soft or hard core), promotion of violence, prejudice, racism or offensive material as defined by reasonable standards.
2) Graphics from the Autumn Star Domain may not be used in ANY type of collections for distribution either for free or profit. Autumn Star.com has sole distribution rights.
3) In the event of use on a web site, linkware means that a small, hyperlinked, credit should be offered at the bottom of each web page incorporating Autumn Star graphics; the hyperlink should be to Autumn Star.com or Autumn Star's Gratis Graphics.
4) Graphics must be saved on your own hard drive and uploaded to your own web site's host server for online use.

Please do not steal bandwidth. Download each graphic to your own harddrive and refer to it in your pages as located on your own web page host server.

"Stealing bandwidth", along with the unauthorized collection and redistribution of free graphics, is an unkind thing to do to the many nice people who offer their graphics freely to the public. It's also illegal!


We are also inviting you to discover the exceptionally beautiful graphics available at AlfredoM Art Studio. Authentic Renaissance and Medieval Illuminated Manuscript art has been painstakingly hand-drawn in digital form and made available on CD. Now, you can illuminate your own manuscripts, invitations, cards and letters (including email) with these gorgeous borders.

 

We've heard of companies that steal graphics from internet sites, collect them on CDs, then, sell them to the public or include with company software. This is being done without permission from, credit for and compensation to the original creative artists.

We have even heard first-hand accounts by artists/photographers describing how ,perversely, the most reknowned software corporations have engaged in such theft even while loudly complaining about pirating of their own software.

Should you purchase a CD and discover any of Autumn Star's Gratis Graphics designs on the CD, please contact us with the name of the company and the CD. Your kind assistance in such matters will be greatly appreciate
