The 'No Membership Guaranteed' button means that TemplateGlobe guarantees the product you're purchasing is not shared
or distributed with any 'members only' collections. This site
is an active participant of the 'No template membership' campaign
and encourages its customers and partners not to purchase web
designs from membership-based sites.
There are elements of the website design industry
that depend on "membership" marketing systems. Clip
art, photos, and some other elements of website design would
fall in this category. However, website templates, just below
custom website design in complexity, do not.
"Membership" sales of website templates
is a form of market "dumping". We object to distortion
of the market through deliberate destruction of the value
of the designers' work. We welcome competition at price points
-we rebel against a market practice that is fundamentally
dishonest regarding its intentions and results.
We deliberately limit the circulation of our
templates in order to maintain their uniqueness on the Internet.
Membership-based template "dumpers" make some strange
claims. Among them: that their customers only download the
few that they are actually interested in, leaving the larger
collection untouched. Common sense upsets this claim.
If a person is paying for the right to download a thousand template
collection, do they download just five templates, or do they
download the entire collection? The answer is obvious.
"Membership" based "dumps"
further claim to limit the number of sales of individual templates,
claiming that this in itself limits distribution.
Our customers tend to enjoy pride of ownership,
because we strive for uniqueness and rarity. This pride can't
exist where a "fifty dollar member" acquires a spare
"junk pile" of website templates he can't use, but
owns the rights to.
There can be no control to distribution in
this case, as the product is not treated with much dignity.
The likelihood of seeing many, many clones of a design you
purchase is exponential. We protect our customers with a limited
use license to our products.
Which introduces the subject of copyright
infringement: We defend our copyrights, as the design process
is an expensive one, and it is the nature of "design"
that the customer expects freshness, originality and quality.
Such a guarantee is logically impossible in the "membership"
setting.
In practice, template "dumps" encourage
abusive mass circulation of products of questionable origin
and ownership, and the unwitting "member" uses them
on the Internet at some risk.
Our prices are fair, our product is excellent,
and our customers are protected.
