Frequently Asked Questions: Licensing and Usage for Digital Design Products
Welcome to our FAQ section. Whether you are a seasoned designer or just starting, understanding how product licenses work is crucial for your creative projects. We have compiled the most common questions to help you navigate the rules regarding the digital assets available on our platform.
What is an “End Product”?
An “End Product” is the final creation you produce after modifying or incorporating a licensed asset. It is the result of your work—a composition that combines various elements to create something new and distinct. For example, if you use a graphic element to design a book cover, that cover is the End Product. The key distinction is that the End Product is the finished item you intend to use or sell, not the raw asset itself.
Can I sell digital products that I create using assets from this site?
Yes, you are generally allowed to sell digital products made with these assets, provided you adhere to the specific license terms . The core requirement is that you must add significant value and creative effort to transform the original asset into something new. Your final product should be significantly different from the original asset you purchased. This means employing your own skills—such as adding textures, unique illustrations, custom typography, or photographs—to create a distinct design .
What are the restrictions on selling products made with these assets?
You cannot resell or sublicense the licensed asset in its source file form or in any way that is directly competitive with the original asset . This means you cannot simply repackage or resell the asset as a standalone item, such as a stock graphic or a template for others to customize . Your End Product must be a finalized design, not a tool intended for others to edit or rebuild. For instance, creating a digital planner template that allows end-users to customize the core design is not permitted; however, selling a finalized, flattened design that users can use “as-is” is allowed .
What types of licenses are available?
Generally, there are different license tiers that determine the scope of your permitted usage, specifically regarding how many times you can sell your final End Product. A standard commercial license typically allows you to sell up to a certain number of copies (e.g., 5,000 units) of your finished work. For larger-scale production and sales, an extended commercial license often grants higher limits (e.g., up to 250,000 units) . It is essential to check the specific license details for the asset you are using to ensure you are compliant.
Do I need a separate license for each person on my team?
Yes, if multiple individuals require access to the product files to work on a project, you generally need to purchase an additional seat or license for each person . A single license typically covers one user.
Can I use the assets to create physical items for sale?
Yes, you can apply your End Product to physical merchandise and sell those items. The same licensing rules apply: the asset must be integrated into a new design that is significantly different from the original . The license governs the creation of your digital End Product, which is then applied to physical goods.
What happens if I plan to use an asset in a way not covered by the standard license?
If your intended use exceeds the limitations of the license you purchased, you must purchase an additional license to cover the extra uses or contact the creator to inquire about a custom license . This ensures that the creator is fairly compensated for the broader commercial application of their work.
We hope this FAQ has clarified the licensing landscape. Always remember to read the full license agreement for each asset to ensure your project is fully compliant.
