Standard License Agreement
This license is included with the purchase of clip art and fonts by Dianne J. Hook © DJ Inkers. By purchasing a DJ Inkers' product, you are agreeing to our terms of use. Our products are ONLY for the use of a single purchaser. Sharing, posting online, reselling or redistributing digital images and/or fonts (in original format or as part of a kit/bundle) is a copyright violation. Please help keep us in business and be respectful of our terms and our artwork.
DJ Inkers' fonts and clip art now includes a 'Limited Licensing Agreement,' with usage extending to personal, educational and limited commercial use. Details and terms for different usage types are listed below.
DJ Inkers graphics and fonts are to be considered design components. You must create a new project or derivative work using our designs for this license to apply. (Simply adding a border or layering multiple images does not constitute a new derivative design.) The item/project for sale must be created by you (the purchaser).
This license agreement is between DJ Inkers and the individual purchaser, and is non-exclusive, non-transferable and non-assignable. This license does not extend to publishers, large corporations or manufacturers. Upon purchasing a license it is recommended that you review the license to ensure your desired usage falls in line with the terms and permitted uses listed in this agreement. If DJ Inkers' Limited License Agreement does not include your desired usage, please consider our VIP Commercial License Agreement or contact us to discuss your project or small business needs.
