Licenses

Welcome at YourVectors.com! When you purchase a vector image, you are not buying the image itself, but a license to use it. This license defines how, where, and to what extent you can use the artwork. Please read the following license types carefully to select the one that best fits your project needs. If you are unsure, feel free to [contact me] for guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I upgrade my license later?
A: Yes, absolutely. If you start with a Personal License and later need commercial rights, you can simply pay the difference to upgrade. Please contact me with your original invoice.

Q: What is not allowed in any license?
A: Regardless of the license, you cannot:

• Resell, sub-license, or redistribute the original vector file by itself.
• Claim the artwork as your own original creation.
• Use the image in a logo or trademark (unless specifically agreed upon in a custom commission).

Q: Do you offer exclusive licenses?
A: Yes, we can discuss the transfer of exclusive rights for a custom project. This means the vector will be removed from all sales platforms and will be unique to your brand. Please [contact me] for a custom quote.

Q: What if my use case isn’t listed?
A: If your intended use doesn’t fit neatly into these categories, please [get in touch]. I am happy to discuss your project and provide a custom license quote.
