Two licences
The difference is one and simple: does the item become part of something you sell on.
| What you do | Standard licence | Extended |
|---|---|---|
| A site, a blog, social media | yes | yes |
| A presentation, a report, a letter to clients | yes | yes |
| Advertising your own product or service | yes | yes |
| Printing for yourself: a poster, business cards, a sign | yes | yes |
| A product you sell: a book cover, a print on a T-shirt, a postcard, a site template for sale | no | yes |
| Reselling the file itself as a file | no | no |
| A logo or a trademark | no | no |
Rules common to both
- The licence is yours forever. If the author withdraws the item, what you bought stays with you, and you can download it a year later.
- The licence does not pass to another person along with the project — the new owner buys their own.
- The file must not be published in a way that lets it be downloaded separately from your work: that would be reselling.
- Crediting the author is not required, but they will be glad of it.
With the subscription
Items marked “with the subscription” count against your plan’s monthly allowance and work under the standard licence. The allowance is spent on items, not on clicks: what you already took this month can be downloaded again for free.
