As a small business, I love when my designs can help other small businesses succeed, which is why I include a generous Limited Commercial Use License in the base price for all designs (free & paid).
So you can start selling products using my designs, and if it turns into one of your big sellers, just purchase the extended commercial license for the product type and scope of your project.
- You will need to purchase a separate extended license for each product you intend to use commercially over 200 products.
If you already purchased a product and then decide you need an extended commercial license simply purchase the extended license. At checkout, include the name of the design and the SKU# in the Order Note section. Be sure to enter the SKU# and Product Name for the design in the Order Notes. Each design needs a separate extended commercial license.
All licenses are non-exclusive and non-transferrable.
Personal / Blog/Website Use: You may use my designs to create just about any project for personal use or to give away as gifts where no money is received/profit is made, within the following parameters:
- All “Prohibited Uses” outlined below must be followed.
- If you use any of my designs in your personal projects, and post your project in an online blog, community forum, contest, etc. source credit with a link back to MichellesGiftStudio.com is GREATLY APPRECIATED!!
