I uploaded a product last week, and this morning I received this e-mail from Helen.

I am currently pre-testing your product and found the following problems:

Your statement of ownership has the following

All of this product's content was created by JHoagland and mrsparky.

VanishingPoint is the sole vendor listed therefore you should have only one person listed as the owner of the product and have the second person listed as using their resources.

The ownership statement should be one of the following  using the EXACT wording.

** Include one of the following statements if you used licensed source material:

1. "All of this product's content was created by [Vendor(s)/Merchant(s) and/or Real Name(s)] using the

following Vendor Resources:
(Product Name) by (Vendor/Merchant Name)
(Product Name) by (Vendor/Merchant Name)
Etc....
Substitute the Product Name and Vendor/Merchant name as applicable.

2. All of the content in this package was created by [Vendor(s)/Merchant(s) and/or Real Name(s)], and may

include derivatives of the following Vendor/Merchant resources:
(Product Name) by (Vendor/Merchant Name)
(Product Name) by (Vendor/Merchant Name)
Etc....
Substitute the Product Name and Vendor/Merchant name as applicable.

I have been using this same "statement of ownership" ever since Renderosity required it and I have never had a problem with it until now. The product itself was made by (or "created by") myself and mrsparky, although it was uploaded under the VanishingPoint merchant account. I made the model and mrsparky made the textures. We have had this working arrangement since 2004, there are no "merchant resources" used in this product, and Renderosity had always allowed the wording of the statement.

Has there been a change in the requirements? When did the requirements change? Why was the product failed?

I may try uploading it again, but this time only crediting "VanishingPoint". This doesn't give proper credit to the modeller or texturer, but hopefully, maybe, it will satisfy Renderosity's requirements.

P.S. I am posting this message in the Poser Forum because, after 5 years of being a merchant here, the admins have removed my access to the Merchant Forum.
