Licenses FAQ
What is the difference between Personal Projects and Commercial Projects?
Personal Projects are where resources are used in a manner that has no potential monetary gain. Personal Projects cannot be related to any business, non-profit, or other organization of any kind.
Commercial Projects are where resources are used for any other purpose than Personal Projects.
What is an End Product for Sale?
An End Product for Sale is an item that you intend to sell to more than a single person. For example, if you use my resources in a website design for a single, paid client, this is not considered an End Product for Sale. If you use my resources to design a calendar and sell it to multiple people, that is considered an End Product for Sale.
How many End Products can I sell?
The License permits you to sell up to 5,000 total End Products. Where resources are purchased as part of a collection, you may sell up to 5,000 total End Products per collection.
Can I use your resources to create an End Product for Sale on behalf of my client?
Yes. If you create an End Product for Sale on behalf of a client, your rights to the resources are transferred from you to your client.
