SpecialSmilies.com is a non-commercial site.  We have provided these smilies as a service to the online community.  Any ads you see on the site are for other family-safe sites we run and are NOT paid ads. We do accept donations, strictly to help defer our monthly dedicated hosting costs. We did not open this site for profit and do not plan to host ads or generate any money from the content contained here. Please read the About Us page for more information on this site and its purpose.

Any licensed characters are used in a fan-art capacity. Since we are smiley creators ourselves, we believe strongly in giving credit to artists. When the smiley artist is known, full credit is given and a link to their own site (if available) provided. Many of the icons on this site were found freely around the web. They are posted here on the notion that they are freely available and distributable. No copyright violation is intended, and any possible copyright infringment unintentional. If you find that your art is displayed here without credit, please contact the webmaster. Due to the nature of the internet and people claiming works as their own, we will require proof of ownership. However, once ownership is established, we will be happy to give you full credit (and a linkback) or arrange to remove the graphic. Again, we wish to showcase the talents of artists, not profit for them.
