License Vocabulary

Legalese terms of service can certainly make your head spin. That's why we created our simple guide to vocabulary definitions. All the "can do's and can't do's" are explained elsewhere.

Regular License

A Regular License grants you (the buyer) a non-exclusive, non-transferrable right to use my products. How you use my product is subject to the following conditions:

1. Your use of my product is limited to a single application.
2. You may use my product as a stand-alone application or you may incorporate my product into another derived work you are creating.
3. Unless you have our prior written consent, you will not directly or indirectly license, sub-license, sell or resell or provide for free my product nor offer to do any of these mentioned activities. All of these activities can be summarized as Resale.
4. You may reproduce the media of my product for marketing distribution.

• not limited by these examples ...
  • a) in a printed format or;
  • b) on a website or;
  • c) in an electronic document such as a PowerPoint presentation or an eBook or;

5. You may use my product in a derived work which you are creating for your own purposes or for your client who has asked you to create it.
6. You will not incorporate my product into a by-product which is created for Resale by you or your client.
7. If my product is used or incorporated in a derived product, there is no restriction on the number of copies of your by-product that can be reproduced and distributed (provided the use/incorporation remains a single application and the copies are not for Resale). For example, you may incorporate a graphic of my product in a brochure you design for your client. An unlimited number of copies of your brochure that incorporates my product may be made; but, my product cannot be incorporated into any other application. The brochures must be distributed to recipients at no charge to the recipient.
8. Notwithstanding the restriction on Resale, if you acquire my product on behalf of your client you may recoup from your client the cost of acquiring my product as a cost of manufactured goods.
