Unlimited free data storage is offered when an individual registers as a designer/vendor with Belle-Ve Bricks. This storage is to ONLY be used for files that are related to the designer/vendor’s listings.

Any misuse of this will result in the files being deleted IMMEDIATELY and may result in the designer/vendor’s account with Belle-Ve Bricks being suspended or terminated.
