Licensing Terms

When you purchase an item you are in fact purchasing a license to use that item. Different licenses give you different rights of usage. For most instances our Regular License is most appropriate. Where an author has opted-in, you may be able to also purchase Extended Licenses granting you additional rights.

Listed here are the legal terms for the different licenses, however you may also wish to read our simplified license overview for these options.

Regular License

The Regular License grants you, the Purchaser a non-exclusive, non-transferrable right to make use of the product that you acquire (Product).

Your use of the Product, under the Regular License, is subject to the following conditions:

(a) You may use the Product alone or you may incorporate the Product into another work you are creating.

(b) Unless you have our prior written consent, you must not directly or indirectly license, sub-license, sell or resell the Product or offer to do any of these things. All of these things are referred to as Resale.

(d) Your use of the Product is limited to a single application.

(e) You may use the Product in a work which you are creating for your own purposes or for your client who has asked you to create it.

(f) You must not incorporate the Product in a work which is created for Resale by you or your client.

(g) If the Product is used or incorporated in a work there is no restriction on the number of copies of that work that can be reproduced and distributed (provided the use/incorporation remains a single application and the copies are not for Resale).

(h) Notwithstanding the restriction on Resale, if you acquire the Product on behalf of your client you may recoup from your client the cost of acquiring the Product.

For example: For example, you may incorporate the Product, such as a graphic, in a brochure you design for your client. An unlimited number of copies of the brochure incorporating the Product may be made but the Product cannot be incorporated in any other application. The brochures must be distributed to recipients at no charge to the recipient.
