We only grant a commercial license for the use of our textures for commercial projects to active subscribers. If you cancel your monthly or yearly subscription to our commercial license, you will no longer be authorized to use the purchased textures for commercial purposes. It's important to note that you can still use the textures for non-commercial and personal projects. We advise you to read our usage terms carefully before making a purchase to ensure you understand the restrictions on texture use.

By using our textures, you agree to our commercial license terms and usage policy.

A. No Unlawful Use.

You may not use content in a pornographic, defamatory or other unlawful manner, to promote violence or hatred, or in violation of any applicable regulations or industry codes.
‍
B. No Standalone File Use.

You may not use content in any way that allows others to download, extract, or redistribute content as a standalone file (meaning just the content file itself, separate from the project or end use).

C. No False Representation of Authorship.

You may not falsely represent that you are the original creator of an end use that is made up largely of licensed content. For instance, you cannot create a painting based solely on licensed content and claim that you are the author.

D. No Products for Resale.

Unless you purchase an extended license, you may not use content in connection with any goods or services intended for resale or distribution where the primary value lies in the content itself including, without limitation, cards, stationery items, paper products, calendars, apparel items, posters (printed on paper, canvas, or any other media), DVDs, mobile applications, NFTs or other items for resale, license or other distribution for profit. This includes "on demand" products (meaning products in which content is selected by a third party for customization on such product on a made-to-order basis), including, without limitation, postcards, mugs, t-shirts, posters and other items (this includes the sale of products through custom designed websites, as well as sites such as zazzle.com and cafepress.com).

To put it simply, you cannot buy a texture and use it as is without modifications to resell it.

Unless you purchase an extended license, you may not use content in electronic or digital templates intended for resale or other distribution (for example, website templates, business card templates, electronic greeting card templates, brochure design templates).
