Tags, Spam and Descriptions.
General
FORUDESIGNS and its community work together to keep the Site and related programs working properly, in a secure manner and for the mutual benefit of the community.
At the time you post a Product for sale, you will be asked to provide information (title, description, tags, categories) about your Design so that visitors to the Site can search and find relevant Products. You will make best efforts to provide accurate, non-misleading information about your Designs and you agree not to submit unrelated information in connection with your Design for any purpose. If FORUDESIGNS determines that information is misleading or inaccurate or that it violates the rights of a third-party, FORUDESIGNS may delete such information or your Design(s) entirely, in its sole discretion.
There are several key pieces of information about your item that BUSINESS FORUDESIGNS uses to help Users find what they are looking for, including but not limited to: titles, tags, attributes and categories. It’s very important to accurately label your items. By providing high-quality, accurate information, you help Users find your Products quickly and easily. Inaccurate information can create a frustrating and unproductive shopping experience for everyone in the marketplace.
FORUDESIGNS asks that you do not engage in script writing or other unacceptable back door computing practices in an effort to post multiple products for sale.
By using the Site, you agree to use the Site and conduct your business in a manner that demonstrates common sense and respect for the rights of FORUDESIGNS, other Designers, Users and third parties and in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

Intellectual Property Rights
At FORUDESIGNS, we are very excited to support our FORUDESIGNS creators and to help them produce great custom products and a great experience for their buyers. In our efforts, we are also committed to protecting the rights of individuals and companies with respect to the content published on the FORUDESIGNS service. Third-party rights are based on a range of laws and legal standards that can be confusing. Those rights are each very different from the other and are often misunderstood. We have created this guide to provide very high-level information about certain types of legal rights and to help FORUDESIGNS creators understand what is permissible on the service. We have described some key rights below (trademark, copyright and right of publicity). In reality, the legal analysis for each of these rights is much more detailed and complex than our summary below. Still, we hope the information below is useful and will provide some guidance for creation of permitted campaigns on the FORUDESIGNS service.
