You cannot make new clip art or digital graphic resources for sale using our designs. We do not allow you to sell your designs digitally as a resource for others to use to create and sell different products. E.g. If you made digital art prints then your customer could only use that design as it was intended. You may wish to incorporate the designs into a digital planner, journal or scrapbooking kit but please use the artwork sparingly without any item being extractable or used on its own e.g. as a die cut.

1 end product can include a collection of related designs. E.g. An invitation, RSVP, table names etc. If you sell this collection as a whole you are allowed under our standard license to do this 500 times without the need to give credit or purchase an appropriate Extended License. However if you choose to break up this collection and sell the items separately then the 500 units restriction is divided between the items. E.g. if you sold an Invitation and RSVP separately but they were from the same collection, then each would be allowed to sell 250 units before the need to give credit or purchase an appropriate Extended License.

You can use the artwork in an editable template however the design must not be able to be extracted. Make sure to flatten the artwork to the base of the template.

If you wish to install our artwork directly onto your own online editor or app for others to use and design with, for example a photo editing app that allows you to add artwork overlays please get in touch about our App or Server Licenses.
