Breach of terms and conditions

Discussion started by massassi

I just got this message, but did not get any response (yet),

Does anybody know what this is about? and does anybody has got the same message?

---------------------------------------------------------
Hello,

Julius from CGTrader here. I am contacting you in regard to the links you have used on your renders and descriptions (also in your about section) - I would like to remind you that this is prohibited by our terms and conditions.

You are now required to remove the links from all of your preview images and descriptions within 48 hours, or we will be forced to terminate your account and this will be done irreversibly.

Please let me know once the images are updated and the links removed.

Kindly,
CGTrader support
-------------------------------------------------------

I have read the T&C, but it does allow links to other sites (see 15. Third-Party Web Sites).

Regards,

Luke

What exactly is unclear from the letter sent to you? If you do not remove links, your account will be banned.
48 hours is more than enough time to correct such violations.

3.8. Keep all the internal communication with other CGTrader members inside this Site and do not ask or share contact details.

You have 14 links, including to several third-party marketplaces. In addition, you provided your email address, which is also prohibited.

That is clear, but is it allowed to use internal links to other CGTraders models?

Hey m8.........Aren't you just making extra work for yourself! If your model is part of a set which is in a collection, it gives any potential buyer the information and links anyway. There is also a 'similar models' section at the bottom of those pages too. Cgtrader is doing that work for you and it is in their interest too.

I think your over complicating it fella! With so many links it makes you models look cheap'n'spammy in my opinion. Class always sells buddy and this is your shop window! Probably the best practice here is to always try and keep you info succinct or buyers will just drift away!

Yes, I have collections. I agree, years ago I started adding links to CGTrader models that belong to the same category. But also links are just text, not real hyper links, so an user still needs to cut and past it in the browser. I have, for now removed all the external links (which are also not used). I need to revisit all my models texts and make it simple.

I had a look at your model texts as well. I see in one also an external link, to the wiki.

I don’t think that this approach to item descriptions will have a positive effect on behavior of potential buyers however this is not a violation (if such lists don't go beyond descriptions). If something similar is found on the forum or in any other marketplace section as duplicated posts or comments, ban will follow immediately without warnings and time for fix.
