License Terms

Updated December 8, 2022

DEFINITIONS

Licensee – Individual or Legal Entity (Company), as indicated at the time a Licensed Asset is:

  1. Purchased
  2. Obtained free of charge (for example, as a downloaded “Freebie”)
  3. Given as a gift to one recipient

There are three types of Licensees:

  1. Purchaser – Individual or Legal Entity that purchases the Asset and License.
  2. Recipient – One individual that receives a purchased Asset and License from a Purchaser as a gift (the Plus-1).
  3. User – Individual or Legal Entity that obtains a free Asset and License from DigiArtsWithLiz.com (formerly, PineConeAndPencil.com).

Number of Users – The number of permitted users (or seats) is the number of users or seats declared and/or paid for at the time of acquisition or purchase.

Commercial Use: Physical and Digital End Products – Unlimited total Physical End Products and Digital End Products. Use in applications (web or software) is prohibited.

Any use of a Licensed Asset for Commercial use must:

  1. Be significantly different than the original Licensed Asset.
  2. Require time, effort, and skill to produce.
  3. Not derive its primary value from the Licensed Asset itself.

Any resale and/or sub-license of the Licensed Asset in source file form and/or otherwise competitive with the Licensed Asset is prohibited.

Examples of End Products

Using a Digital File to create End Products like a canvas bag, dress material, a cup, or a finished scrapbook page (that incorporates other items/elements) is allowed. Likewise, using a BRUSH to create an End Product like digital scrapbook paper (e.g., JPG), a unique artwork (digital or print), or a unique new BRUSH with a Shape or Grain that differs significantly from the original BRUSH is allowed.

However, modifying a Digital File (like, a JPG or BRUSH) in color or size does NOT make it an End Product. Repackaging a Digital File as is, repackaging a piece from a collection of Digital Files, repackaging multiple collections of Digital Files, or repackaging Digital Files in another form—as in saving JPGs as PDFs—does NOT qualify as an End Product either and is not allowed.

Please send your questions about what qualifies as an End Product to us. We are happy to clarify our definitions, terms, and how they support your design and market efforts.

Commercial Use: Advertisements and Promotion – Unlimited Physical (Printed) Advertisements within a Local Market is viewed as and End Product and permitted.

Commercial Use: Broadcast Content – No limit on number of lifetime viewers.
