You Can Help

The Standardized Terms Of Use Initiative (STOUI) is a grassroots movement working towards commonality in digital scrapbooking art exchanges - whether the art is sold or distributed free. Our goal is to help standardize digital art Terms of Use (TOU) documents, and encourage creation of TOU’s that are easier to understand and respected by all parties involved.

Digital art designers, professional scrapbookers, and hobbyists are the three main groups that will be pivotal to the acceptance of new standards and policies. It will take effort on everyone’s part to encourage adoption of the program.

Ways You Can Show Your Support:

1. Learn about the STOUI, the meaning of each icon, and how to use them.
