Hi everyone! I was wondering if someone could help me with a query. I found an amazing powerpoint game template called Soaring Skyward on a site where you can download powerpoint templates for free. What I want to know is if it is allowed to make a game with that template and put here at eslprintables or whether it infringes copyrights. The site (can �t recall its name now) has plenty of powerpoint templates for games and they are totally free of charge and you can download as many as you want to. I just don �t know whether it is right to put it here. Please help! |

Experts will answer you. It �s very gratifying to make one �s own templates though. It takes time in the begining but it �s worth trying. |

Thank you for your answer, karagozian. I am going to try to make my own template and if I think that it is not good I can always use one from the templates section, where I have seen really amazing templates. |

Hi cunliffe! I had it in my favourites so here it is. Anyway, I followed karagozian �s advice and did a feeble attempt at creating a not too bad powerpoint. It will be available for download tomorrow. |

NIce site! I read the user terms and it looks to me like they were meant to be shared, but I could have missed something.
The operative words from the terms of use are no copying without without TES Global �s prior written consent, but posted on the site in question is the written authorization:
"Use Your Own ContentThese templates allow you to type in your own questions with the games which are already created."

I have good news for you. 
It�s a good idea to note the source of your template on the last page of your PPT so that if anyone reports it, you are providing the link to a �reputable� site that gives you permission to use it.
If you download it from another source, especially if it has been made into a game or the like, then you might be breaching copyright.
Cheers
