Credit Links</h3><ul style="padding:0px;font-size:13px;line-height:18.1875px;list-style-position:initial;border:0px none;overflow:visible;font-family:'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;">
<li style="color:rgb(85,85,85);padding:2px 0px 0px;border:0px none;overflow:visible;">Theme URI, if used, is <b>required</b> to link to a page specifically related to the Theme. If a demonstration site or page is being used, the content must be related to the theme itself.</li>
<li style="color:rgb(85,85,85);padding:2px 0px 0px;border:0px none;overflow:visible;">Author URI, if used, is <b>required</b> to link to an author’s personal web site or project/development website.</li><li style="color:rgb(85,85,85);padding:2px 0px 0px;border:0px none;overflow:visible;">
Determination of appropriateness of AuthorURI and ThemeURI is at the sole, and final, discretion of the Theme Review Team. For AuthorURI, emphasis is on the <i>personal</i> nature of the site. For ThemeURI, a mere demo site is insufficient; the URI must include content <i>predominately</i> related to the Theme.</li>

<li style="padding:2px 0px 0px;border:0px none;overflow:visible;"><b><font color="#ff0000">Credit link, if used, is required to use either Theme URI or Author URI.</font></b></li><li style="color:rgb(85,85,85);padding:2px 0px 0px;border:0px none;overflow:visible;">
Credit link anchor text and title are <b>required</b> to be relevant and appropriate with respect to the linked site. <i>Spam or SEO-seeded anchor text and titles may subject Themes to automatic rejection.</i></li><li style="color:rgb(85,85,85);padding:2px 0px 0px;border:0px none;overflow:visible;">
A second “Powered by” link for WordPress is also acceptable, with the link pointing to <a title="http://wordpress.org" href="http://wordpress.org/" style="text-decoration:none;color:rgb(52,120,227);" target="_blank">http://wordpress.org</a>.</li>
</ul></li><li style="color:rgb(85,85,85);padding:2px 0px 0px;border:0px none;overflow:visible;">If used, credit-link removal options are <b>required</b> to be <b>opt-in</b> (i.e. disabled by default, rather than enabled)</li>
<li style="color:rgb(85,85,85);padding:2px 0px 0px;border:0px none;overflow:visible;">Links in the description of the theme must be appropriately defined in respect to the AuthorURI requirements or to help and assistance to usage of the theme.</li>
