ANNI ARTS LICENSE TERMS OF USE

The existing licenses were created because I really want to help home crafters to make money from my designs. I have had many enquiries and requests from crafters who want to use my art. You will see that I have virtually no restrictions for the making of genuine individually hand made products. I am on your side! It is for those who are determined to circumvent copyright laws that I have to include the long "you may not" list.

I put an enormous amount of work and effort into my products. I want you to enjoy crafting and selling them and appreciate your interest. Please abide by the terms of use. It protects both you as the person who purchases a license and myself as the creator of the products.

In my career I have designed specific licensed art for many types of products and I continue to do so. Be advised that I take the unlawful use of my art very seriously. Every item that is available for download has a digital thumbprint and registration date. Any license will be terminated if there is unlawful use of Anni Arts copyrighted art and graphics and legal action will be taken where neccessary.

• As the artist I retain all copyright to my trademarks, artwork and designs.
• The craft license does not transfer any copyright to the purchaser.
• By downloading the craft license you agree to the Anni Arts terms of use!
• The license for each item/ range is an annual license that needs to be renewed yearly.
• There are no refunds on the Anni Arts downloads, license or CD collections once downloaded.
• Please first download the freebie for that range, then make a regular personal purchase and only purchase the license after you have tried the range for personal use. Having said that, I will assist you in every way I can if you have a problem, but I do not teach software use.
•If you want to use Anni Arts art for any commercial purposes other than for Home Business Crafters, please contact me with your requests.
That needs a separate license.

• By purchasing the license for an item/ set or a range you purchase the right to use that item/ set or range in the manner specified by Anni Arts for that licensed product.
• The license is for the individual Home Business Crafter to personally make and sell crafted items to her/his personal customers, craft fairs, craft bazaars, as fund raisers, for celebrations such as birthdays,at schools and school fetes, hospital patients (you may sell your crafted items in the hospital gift store too) and businesses (as personalized items for e.g. new boss, congratulations on promotions etc.)
• It is not a license for commercial volume production.
• It is not a license to sell these graphics digitally.
• It is not a creative commons license.
• Anni Arts products are not in the public domain.
• Anni Arts designs and images are not clip art to be used as free art.
• There is no limit on the quantities you can make in your personal capacity.
• But you may not mass produce items, used hired help or multi-person assembly line production methods or make products produced by cooperatives or as a group of crafters. That constitutes mass production.
• You may not have hand made Anni Arts items produced for you in China or any other country.
• Do not remove the Anni Arts imprint on articles that has it.
• You may only sell products that you personally make with the items as they are pre-designed in that range or to use the ranges that have line art to personally paint or embroider those images on to items by hand.
• You can create crafted cards, tags, choc wrappers, completed scrapbook pages with photos for customers, journals and other printable items as finished items.
If you do digital scrapbooking-for-hire, the product you sell to your customer must have her/his photos on the scrapbook pages you create for them as finished pages! The digital scrapbook pages must have the photos in place and the layers flattened before you send them to your customer. NOTE! That is the only digital use exception for Anni Arts products!!!!
• You may use loose elements such as stickers/labels or borders to embellish tangible items you either make or buy ready to complement your crafted items. (Example: you may use Anni Arts stickers on a plain white envelope as a seal or decoration to go with a card in the same Anni Arts range that you printed out and made.
Or you may want to put stickers on a bought gift packet in a coordinating color to the craft range. Or you may want to use loose elements from the scrapbooking range on a gallon can or journal.) Get the idea? Thus items/ illustrations/elements may be used as embellishments on purchased products such as envelopes and packets that complement the Anni Arts printables.

• The pre-designed graphics, illustrations or originals may not be taken apart, altered, recolored, cut, cropped, re-assembled or hacked and new print templates created. Printables in templates must be used as pre-designed items. You may not use loose images to create new graphics templates and use them as pre-designed Anni Arts designs or sell/ pass them off as Anni Arts designs or call them your own designs. They are not for create-your-own-graphics purposes!
• Compared to the previous example this means that say a specific Anni Arts range you bought does not have a choc wrapper included, but a customer has asked you for it. Then do not chop up, cut and paste another graphic from the Anni Arts range and re-assemble as a choc wrapper template in your graphics program to print out or distribute.
That will undermine the integrity of the Anni Arts designs.
You may however wrap a choc in plain colored or coordinating paper and paste images and labels from the Anni Arts range on it and finish with a tag and label from the Anni Arts range. That is an embellished product. PS: I will gladly create requested items that will then be added to the licensed items.

That should be enough as right-to-use information, but I know there will be attempts to circumvent these stipulations. Kindly read the further stipulations carefully to clarify the license agreement so you cannot say “I didn’t know!!” Contact me if you are uncertain about how you want to use the Anni Arts Graphics. I am an honest person and so are you.

Further:
• You may not use the Anni Arts graphics on/ to create POD (print on demand) products such as at Cafepress, Zazzle, Lulu etc.
• BUT you may become an affiliate seller of Anni Arts products on Cafepress, Zazzle etc.
• Also if you buy products through the Anni Arts POD shops you may sell them alongside your crafted items and can create really lovely coordinated Anni Arts gift baskets and gift sets!
Check the individual Anni Arts shops on Cafepress and Zazzle (which I add to and expand all the time) or ask for Anni Arts products if they are not there. I gladly respond to requests.
• The Anni Arts graphics may not be printed on pre-manufactured and volume produced promotional products such as wine coolers, totes, hats, pens etc.

• You may not use the labels as your company packaging labels. You also may not use the Anni Arts logo, the Anni Arts HBC logo or any graphic from the Anni Arts ranges as your business or company logo or on products unrelated to the Anni Arts ranges. (Example: if you make Halloween costumes, you may not use any Anni Arts Halloween graphics as your logo on labels or swing tickets)
• The actual (uncrafted) graphics and illustrations may not be resold, copied or reproduced by mechanical or electronic means – you may not sell the graphics themselves.

•You may use/ display the Anni Arts HBC logo to show that you are a license holder at your craft fair table, on your website or as business card you give to your customers regarding your Anni Arts crafts. This helps against the use of products without a license. I suggest you also keep the business card with the license number with you when you sell at craft fairs. Anyone selling Anni Arts crafts who doesn’t have that might be competing with you without having paid for a license.
• Anni Arts does not guarantee you an income from the purchase of the licensed art or give any business advice or any business model training. Design is what I do best and I want to provide you with good art for your crafting. I know the design business inside out, but I am not a craft business advisor.
• The purchaser assumes all liability for the use of Anni Arts graphics and indemnifies Anni Arts from any disputes arising from the use of the graphics.
• The Anni Arts graphics may not be used in any defamatory, pornographic, immoral, obscene, libellous, or indecent way.
