Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use these for my Etsy shop?
Yes, with the Standard Commercial license (included free). You can use the clipart in products you sell, like stickers, mugs, or greeting cards, as long as you're producing fewer than 500 units per design. If you need more than that, the Extended license covers unlimited production.
Can I use these in a design I'm making for a client?
Yes. The Standard license covers one end client per purchase. So if you're a graphic designer making packaging for a bakery, your purchase covers that one bakery. If you have three bakery clients who all want the same illustrations, you'd need three licenses (or one Extended license).
What about teachers and schools?
Personal use for educators is completely free and always will be. Print as many worksheets as you need. Put them in Google Classroom presentations. Make bulletin board displays. The only restriction is you can't resell materials that contain my illustrations (like selling worksheet packs on Teachers Pay Teachers). For that, you'd need the Standard Commercial license.
Can I modify the illustrations?
Absolutely. Change colors, crop, combine, add text over them, incorporate them into larger designs. That's what they're for. The only thing you can't do is sell the raw illustration files themselves as clipart. Basically, don't resell the thing I'm selling.
What's NOT allowed (under any license)
- Reselling or redistributing the original files as-is
- Using illustrations in designs that promote hate or violence
- Claiming you drew the illustrations yourself
- Training AI or machine learning models on the files
- Sharing download links or files with people who didn't purchase them
Do I need to credit you?
Not required, but always appreciated. If you're sharing on social media, a tag @darklanterndesign makes my day. For print products, no credit needed. The license covers you either way.
What if my use case isn't listed?
Just email me at [email protected] and describe what you want to do. I answer licensing questions within 24 hours on weekdays. Most edge cases are covered by the Standard license. I'm pretty easygoing about it as long as you're not reselling the raw files.
Refund Policy
Since these are digital downloads, I can't offer refunds after you've accessed the files. But if you bought the wrong pack or had a technical issue with the download, email me and we'll sort it out. I've never had a situation I couldn't resolve with a quick conversation.
