I rewrote the policies! It was time. they had been looking a little sad and unloved. I haven't changed anything, however I have listened to you. Many of you creatives reached out and expressed you read the policies, but had questions. Hopefully these new policies are written a little friendlier.

My clip art and patterns fit into 3 categories. Finished, Supplies and Prohibited.
* Finished Items - You don't need an additional license.
* Supplies - A license is needed. + VAT if you reside within the EU
* Prohibited - Products that are in direct competition with my store.
Ask yourself this - What do I make? How does it fit in below?
* F I N I S H E D * ( No license Required, No credit required)
Digital and Tangible - Including, but not limited to, Art Prints, Invitations, Party packs, Embroidered items, finished home-ware, fabric you've used in the construction of your finished item. Personal business branding, Card making, finished scrapbook pages, and Planner inserts/Journal pages. In fact anything that is a finished and ready to go, or is for your own personal use. The items you create must also be for your customers own personal use.
* Tangible Planner Stickers - The sale of physical, tangible planner stickers falls within the scope of this licensing too.
* All items must be merged flat and have some creative input from yourself and not merely a copy of our artwork. Items made are to be sold as personal use to your customers.

The items must be merged flat and your customers should not be able to extract any graphics from your files. No Psd files. Or layered PDF files.
Licenses are available in our store. There is a choice of per kit or paper pack. or one that covers the whole store including future releases. Prices are dependent on geographical location and are + VAT if you reside within the EU. All products must be finished items with the exception of fabric by the yard, svg files and embroidery files. I realise these are supplies for your customers to create with and are the only exceptions. Your customers can make finished items for sale with with this license. Although they can not claim any art work as their own and their end product must be for personal use to their customers.
