The license agreement
The license agreement, though broad, does have limits and it is important for you to know them. In order to lessen the confusion that is often present when using copyrighted artwork, the following provides an explanation of the license agreement.
It is important to us that you not only enjoy these images for your own projects, but that you can profit by using them. You may use the images for in-house or outside clients, under the following guidelines:
- When charging clients for work using our images, the image(s) must be used as part of a larger production, as a background or in conjunction with text and graphics. It cannot be charged for by itself.
- When distributing (selling or giving away to ashrams or other dharma institutions) a product (sample packages, books, printed matter, animations, videos, etc.) that contains one or more images found in this package, its chief value must not lie in our artwork.
These guidelines apply even if the files have been significantly altered. We have no objection to extensive use of the Aums for religious and dharmic purposes, but when the project becomes commercial, strict rules apply.
Examples of misuse
The image is printed as the illustration on the front of a greeting card. It is then sold to a stationery company for retail distribution (the value of the card comes largely from the front cover illustration).
Below are other examples of misuse that would fit into this category (this is not meant to be a complete list, so please call us if you are in doubt)
Fabric, T-shirts, wallpaper, calendars for resale, when included in other clip art collections for resale, when distributed as digital media in a user-accessible format, fine art images, whether used alone or as part of an image intended for resale, as patterned paper stock to be re-sold as stationery or related products, as decorative patterns on other material or objects where the use of thepattern vastly increases the value of the object (i.e., ceramic tiles, fabric goods, electrical faceplates, notebooks, etc.), video games with extensive use of the backgrounds
Examples of proper use
The image is used as a background for the front cover of a magazine which will have retail distribution in bookstores (the value of the magazine comes from its contents, not the art on the cover).
Other examples of proper use include:
Courses on Hinduism or aspects of Indian spirituality, religious posters, pamphlets, magazines, multimedia projects, videos, book covers, letterheads, business cards, book end papers, ads, brochures, manuals, banners, custom invitations, product packaging, signs, annual reports, video presentations, kiosks, slide presentations, product demos, interactive display."
