I know it’s very boring, but please take just a little time to read it.
Most products you purchase include a commercial license by default. You can see the license type on the product description page.
Commercial License
This license applies to all graphic materials available on svetlanakleine.com and through our Portrait Creator tool at app.svetlanakleine.com.
By purchasing any product or subscribing to any plan (Basic, Pro, or Premium), you agree to the terms below.
1 the license applies to 1 user only.
Personal use:
Personal Use is defined as using purchased Items in a manner that has no potential monetary benefit.
Personal projects may not be associated with any commercial, non-commercial or other organization.
You can use the purchased goods in an unlimited number of personal projects.
For example, you can:
- Create a greeting card for a friend
- Create a poster to decorate your home
- Use the sublimation design on t-shirt, bag, etc. (for yourself, your friends or your family members) without extracting any benefit.
- Create stickers for your planner
- Create a design for your personal blog/website, if you do not make a profit from those resources
- Create a decor for your child’s birthday
- Create design posts for your social networks, if you do not use them for business
And much more…
Commercial use:
Anything not related to personal use is considered commercial.
A purchased Item may be used in 1 Project. As an exception, Installable Items may be used in an unlimited number of Projects on a one seat per license basis. A Project is defined as a complete and cohesive undertaking that may result in one or more End Products. (For example, your company “Paper Bees” is your project. You can create an unlimited number of end products and sell them under your company name an unlimited number of times. If you register another company, it will be considered another project and you will have to purchase licensed objects again.) However, all purchased Items may be used in an unlimited number of Personal Use Projects.
- End product is a digital design or a physical item that you intend to sell to more than 1 person.
- All end products must be significantly different from the original products and require time, effort and skills to produce.
- The final products may not be used or sold in a way that competes with the original product that you have purchased.
- End products should not include original products in such a way that they can be easily extracted. (i.e. if you purchased .PNG clipart and intend to include it in your .PSD template, you need to rasterize the item and merge it with the background so that your buyers can not easily extract the original .PNG clipart.)
You may use graphics to create and sell end products — physical or digital — that are significantly different from the original files.
Examples:
- Posters, mugs, apparel, prints
- Branding materials
- Social media graphics for your business
- Personalized portrait designs
- POD-printed items (with restrictions below)
