Licensing Options for Digital Downloads on Marketplace

To ensure clarity for both sellers and buyers, we offer the following licensing options for digital downloads. Each option outlines the allowed usage rights, ensuring that creators retain control over their work while customers have a clear understanding of permitted uses.

1. Personal Use License

• Definition: This license grants buyers the right to use the digital product for personal purposes only, without any commercial intent or public distribution.

  • Personal projects that will not be sold or shared, such as personal social media posts, private events, or personal art projects.
  • Use in non-commercial digital or physical projects for personal enjoyment or private use.
• Restrictions:
  • Buyers may not distribute, resell, modify for resale, or use the product for any commercial purposes.

  • Credit to the original creator may be required if specified in the license terms.

2. Commercial Use License

• Definition: This license permits buyers to use the digital product for commercial projects, such as products or content intended for sale, advertising, or public distribution.
• Permitted Uses:
  • Incorporation of the product in items for sale (physical or digital), such as marketing materials, ads, website designs, or products with the intent of generating profit.
  • Use in social media, websites, ads, and other digital spaces to promote a brand or business.

Notes for Buyers:

• Please read each product’s license carefully, as creators may have additional requirements or restrictions specific to their work.
• If unsure about usage rights, reach out to the seller or marketplace support to confirm if your intended use complies with the license.

By choosing the appropriate license, buyers can confidently use products within the permitted scope, while sellers can protect their intellectual property and establish clear expectations for use.
