DIGITAL PRODUCT LICENSE AGREEMENT

Effective August 5, 2026

This Digital Product digital products created and sold by ART BY CHAO (“Licensor”), including products purchased through artbychao.co, Etsy, and other storefronts officially authorized by ART BY CHAO.

The person or legal entity purchasing, downloading, installing, accessing, or using an ART BY CHAO digital product is referred to in this Agreement as the “Licensee.”

By purchasing, downloading, installing, accessing, or using an ART BY CHAO digital product, the Licensee agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement.

1. LICENSE OPTIONS

Each Licensed Product is covered by one of the following license types:

  • Individual Commercial License — 1 User
  • Small Team Commercial License — Up to 5 Users
  • Studio Commercial License — Up to 20 Users

The license type selected at the time of purchase determines the maximum number of people who may download, install, access, or use the Licensed Product.

All three license types include personal and commercial use. They differ primarily in the number of Authorized Users permitted to access and use the Licensed Product.

The user limits are total limits:

  • the Individual Commercial License covers one Authorized User in total;
  • the Small Team Commercial License covers up to five Authorized Users in total;
  • the Studio Commercial License covers up to twenty Authorized Users in total.

The purchaser counts as an Authorized User if the purchaser personally accesses or uses the Licensed Product.

Access for more than twenty users requires a separate written Enterprise License from ART BY CHAO.

2. DEFINITIONS

2.1. Licensed Product

“Licensed Product” means the specific digital product identified in the Licensee’s purchase and all files supplied as part of that product, including but not limited to:

  • Procreate brush and .brushset files;
  • Clip Studio Paint .sut files;
  • Adobe Photoshop .abr files;
  • brush tips;
  • brush shapes;
  • grains;
  • textures;
  • patterns;
  • stamp designs;
  • color elements;
  • multi-tip brush components;
  • preview files;
  • installation instructions;
  • user guides;
  • accompanying documentation;
  • updates or replacement files supplied for that product.

Each license applies only to the specific Licensed Product for which it was purchased. A license for one product does not grant permission to use another ART BY CHAO product.

2.2. Authorized User

“Authorized User” means one identifiable natural person who is permitted under the purchased license tier to download, install, access, or use the Licensed Product.

Each individual person counts as one Authorized User regardless of:

  • employment status;
  • job title;
  • working hours;
  • frequency of use;
  • number of devices used;
  • whether the person uses a shared device;
  • whether the person uses a shared company account;
  • whether the person is an employee, freelancer, contractor, assistant, intern, or volunteer.

One user seat may not be shared, pooled, or regularly rotated between multiple active users.

A company, studio, partnership, organization, or other legal entity is not itself an Authorized User. Each individual person who accesses or uses the Licensed Product counts separately.

2.3. Finished Work

“Finished Work” means an original, completed creative work produced using the Licensed Product, including but not limited to:

  • illustrations;
  • paintings;
  • drawings;
  • comics;
  • manga;
  • webtoons;
  • books;
  • editorial artwork;
  • animations;
  • videos;
  • films;
  • games;
  • advertisements;
  • packaging;
  • website graphics;
  • social media graphics;
  • tattoo designs;
  • posters;
  • prints;
  • apparel;
  • physical merchandise;
  • print-on-demand products.

A Finished Work must include sufficient original creative contribution from the Licensee or Authorized User.

A Finished Work must not:

  • distribute the Licensed Product itself;
  • function as a substitute for the Licensed Product;
  • allow another person to extract or reuse the Licensed Product;
  • compete with the Licensed Product as a brush, stamp, texture, pattern, clipart, stock, or digital asset product.

2.4. Source Files

“Source Files” include:

  • the original files supplied with the Licensed Product;
  • brush files;
  • brush set files;
  • individual brush tips;
  • stamp shapes;
  • multi-tip components;
  • grains;
  • textures;
  • patterns;
  • isolated stamp impressions;
  • extracted elements;
  • converted elements;
  • reconstructed elements;
  • traced or vectorized versions;
  • modified versions;
  • substantially similar reusable versions of any component contained in the Licensed Product.

Source Files also include files created by converting the Licensed Product into another software format.

2.5. User Seat

“User Seat” means permission for one Authorized User to access and use the Licensed Product.

The number of devices used by the same Authorized User does not increase the number of user seats required.

The number of people who access or use the Licensed Product determines the number of user seats required.

3. GENERAL LICENSE GRANT

Upon full payment and subject to continued compliance with this Agreement, the Licensor grants the Licensee a:

  • limited;
  • non-exclusive;
  • worldwide;
  • perpetual;
  • non-transferable;
  • non-sublicensable

license to use the Licensed Product in accordance with the purchased license tier and the terms of this Agreement.

The Licensee purchases permission to use the Licensed Product. The Licensee does not purchase ownership of the Licensed Product or any intellectual property rights associated with it.

All rights not expressly granted in this Agreement are reserved by the Licensor.

The license remains valid indefinitely unless:

  • the Licensee violates this Agreement;
  • the license is terminated under Section 16;
  • the purchase is cancelled, refunded, reversed, or found to be fraudulent;
  • the Licensee obtained the product from an unauthorized source.

If a payment is refunded, reversed, disputed, or cancelled, the associated license ends and the Licensee must stop using and delete the Licensed Product.

  • download the Licensed Product;
  • install the Licensed Product;

Subject to all restrictions in this Agreement, every license tier permits the creation, distribution, display, and sale of original Finished Works.

Permitted uses include:

  • commissioned artwork;
  • freelance projects;
  • client projects;
  • commercial illustrations;
  • personal illustrations;
  • comics;
  • manga;
  • webtoons;
  • printed books;

There is no limit on the number of permitted Finished Works, clients, sales, views, downloads, print copies, or revenue, provided that:

  • the correct license tier has been purchased;
  • only the permitted number of Authorized Users accesses or uses the Licensed Product;
  • the Finished Work contains sufficient original creative contribution;
  • the Licensed Product cannot be extracted or reused;
  • the Finished Work does not violate the restrictions in this Agreement.

The right to use Finished Works commercially does not include the right to resell or redistribute the Licensed Product or Source Files.

8. CLIENT WORK

The Licensee and Authorized Users may use the Licensed Product to create Finished Works for clients.

A client may receive:

  • JPG files;
  • PNG files;
  • TIFF files;
  • PDF files;
  • video files;
  • printed products;
  • manufactured products;
  • other completed and exported Finished Works;
  • flattened digital artwork.

A client may receive a layered project file only when all components derived from the Licensed Product have been rasterized, merged, or otherwise prepared so that the Licensed Product, Source Files, isolated stamps, and reusable elements cannot be extracted or reused.

A client may not receive:

  • brush files;
  • brush set files;
  • .brushset files;
  • .sut files;
  • .abr files;
  • extracted brush tips;

  • isolated reusable stamp impressions;
  • grains;
  • shapes;
  • textures;
  • patterns;
  • multi-tip components;
  • converted brush files;
  • any other Source Files.

A client does not need a separate license merely to use or publish the completed Finished Work.

However, the client must obtain an appropriate license if the client, the client’s employees, or the client’s contractors need to access or use the Licensed Product or Source Files.

Providing Finished Work to a client does not transfer ownership of the Licensed Product or grant the client permission to extract or reuse its components.

9. SPECIAL RULES FOR STAMPS AND DECORATIVE ELEMENTS

Stamp designs, multi-tip elements, patterns, textures, and decorative brush elements must be incorporated into a larger original composition.

They may not be sold, distributed, uploaded, licensed, or offered as standalone or minimally modified graphics.

9.1. Permitted examples

The Licensee may:

  • combine stamps with substantial original drawing and design work;

  • sell templates primarily composed of unchanged or minimally modified stamp designs;
  • sell tattoo flash sheets whose primary value comes from unchanged or minimally modified stamp designs;
  • include the stamp designs in editable products from which they can be isolated or extracted;
  • use an unchanged or minimally modified stamp as the primary value of a digital product;
  • claim that minor changes have transformed the Licensed Product into a new original asset.

The following changes alone are considered minimal and are not sufficient to create a permitted standalone product:

  • recoloring;
  • resizing;
  • rotating;
  • mirroring;
  • flipping;
  • cropping;
  • adding an outline;
  • removing an outline;
  • applying filters;
  • applying effects;
  • adding a simple background;
  • adding text;
  • changing opacity;
  • changing blending modes;
  • slightly editing individual lines;

The final product must contain meaningful original creative contribution and must not compete with the original Licensed Product or serve as a substitute for it.

11. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND MACHINE LEARNING

The Licensee and Authorized Users may not use, upload, submit, provide, license, distribute, or make available the Licensed Product, Source Files, or isolated components for:

  • training a generative artificial intelligence model;
  • fine-tuning an artificial intelligence model;
  • training or fine-tuning a machine-learning model;

This section does not grant any permission to use Finished Works for artificial intelligence purposes. Any such use remains subject to applicable law and all other terms of this Agreement.

12. DEVICES, STORAGE, AND BACKUPS

Each Authorized User may install the Licensed Product on multiple devices personally used or controlled by that Authorized User.

The number of devices does not affect the number of user seats required.

For example:

  • one person using three devices requires one user seat;
  • three people using one shared device require three user seats.

Reasonable backup copies are permitted, provided that:

  • the backups are stored privately;
  • access is limited to the Authorized Users covered by the license;
  • unauthorized people cannot access the backups;
  • the backups are not used to avoid purchasing the required number of user seats;
  • the backups are deleted if the license terminates.

For Small Team and Studio licenses, the Licensed Product may be stored in a private internal system only when access is limited to the permitted Authorized Users.

Public storage links and unrestricted company-wide libraries are prohibited.

13. COPYRIGHT AND OWNERSHIP

The Licensed Product is licensed, not sold.

The Licensor retains all rights, title, interest, ownership, and intellectual property rights in the Licensed Product, including rights in:

  • original brush files;
  • brush settings;
  • brush tips;
  • stamp designs;
  • shapes;
  • grains;
  • textures;
  • patterns;
  • multi-tip components;
  • previews;
  • instructions;
  • supporting materials;
  • other components supplied with the Licensed Product.

The Licensee owns the Licensee’s original creative contribution to a Finished Work.

The Licensee does not acquire ownership of:

  • the Licensed Product;
  • Source Files;
  • underlying brush components;
  • isolated stamp designs;
  • reusable elements contained in the Licensed Product.

No provision of this Agreement transfers copyright or other intellectual property rights in the Licensed Product to the Licensee.

All rights not expressly granted are reserved by ART BY CHAO.

14. NO SUBLICENSING OR TRANSFER

The license may not be:

  • sold;
  • transferred;
  • assigned;
  • sublicensed;
  • gifted;
  • donated;
  • inherited;
  • exchanged;
  • provided to another person or entity.

A business sale, merger, acquisition, restructuring, dissolution, or transfer of business assets does not automatically transfer the license.

The Licensee must contact ART BY CHAO if a change in business ownership or legal structure may affect the license.

The transfer of an employee between separate legal entities does not transfer the license to the new entity.

The permitted reassignment of a user seat under a Small Team or Studio License is not a transfer of the license itself. The purchasing Licensee remains the license holder.

15. LICENSE UPGRADES AND ADDITIONAL USERS

A Licensee who requires access for additional users must obtain the appropriate license tier before those additional users access or use the Licensed Product.

Available options include:

  • purchasing additional Individual Commercial Licenses;
  • upgrading to a Small Team Commercial License;
  • upgrading to a Studio Commercial License;
  • requesting a custom Enterprise License.

When a Small Team or Studio License is sold as a separate license-upgrade listing:

  • the upgrade listing does not include the Licensed Product files unless expressly stated otherwise;
  • the Licensee must also have lawfully purchased the original Licensed Product;
  • the upgrade applies only to the specific Licensed Product identified in the upgrade purchase;
  • the original product purchase and the license upgrade must be held by the same Licensee or purchasing legal entity;
  • purchasing an upgrade does not grant access to other ART BY CHAO products;
  • purchasing an upgrade does not retroactively authorize earlier unauthorized sharing or use.

When a Small Team or Studio License is selected as a product variation that includes the Licensed Product, the selected purchase includes both access to that specific Licensed Product and the applicable number of user seats.

Purchasing an Individual Commercial License does not automatically grant a discount or credit toward an upgraded license unless ART BY CHAO expressly states otherwise.

Organizations requiring access for more than twenty users, multiple legal entities, educational institutions, or other special arrangements must request a custom Enterprise License.

16. TERMINATION

This license terminates automatically if:

  • the Licensee materially violates this Agreement;
  • an Authorized User materially violates this Agreement;
  • the Licensed Product is shared or distributed without permission;
  • the number of users exceeds the purchased license tier;
  • the purchase is refunded, reversed, cancelled, disputed, or fraudulent;
  • the Licensed Product was obtained from an unauthorized source.

Upon termination, the Licensee and all Authorized Users must immediately:

  • stop using the Licensed Product;
  • stop creating new works using the Licensed Product;
  • delete all copies of the Licensed Product;
  • delete all Source Files;
  • remove the Licensed Product from devices;
  • remove the Licensed Product from servers;
  • remove the Licensed Product from cloud storage;
  • remove the Licensed Product from shared folders;
  • remove the Licensed Product from asset libraries;
  • remove the Licensed Product from backups under their control.

Completed Finished Works lawfully created and distributed before termination may remain in use, provided that:

  • they were created before the violation or termination;
  • they comply with this Agreement;
  • they do not distribute or expose the Licensed Product;
  • they do not otherwise infringe the Licensor’s rights.

Termination does not:

  • legalize prior unauthorized use;
  • remove liability for prior infringement;
  • limit the Licensor’s right to request removal of unauthorized copies;
  • limit the Licensor’s right to pursue available legal remedies.

17. PRODUCT-SPECIFIC TERMS

Some Licensed Products may include additional product-specific terms, notices, or restrictions.

Product-specific terms apply together with this Agreement.

If a product-specific term directly conflicts with a general term in this Agreement, the more specific product term applies only to that particular Licensed Product and only to the extent of the conflict.

Marketing descriptions, product previews, social media posts, or informal messages do not modify this Agreement unless ART BY CHAO expressly confirms the modification in writing.

18. LICENSE VERSION

The version of this Agreement in effect on the original purchase date applies to that purchase.

ART BY CHAO may update this Agreement for future purchases.

Future changes will not retroactively reduce rights already granted under a valid purchase, except when:

  • required by applicable law;
  • necessary to clarify an existing restriction;
  • expressly accepted by the Licensee;
  • agreed separately in writing.

The Licensee should retain the purchase receipt and, where possible, a copy or link to the applicable license version.

19. MANDATORY LEGAL AND CONSUMER RIGHTS

Nothing in this Agreement excludes, limits, or overrides:

  • consumer rights that cannot lawfully be excluded;
  • statutory warranties that cannot lawfully be excluded;
  • remedies that cannot lawfully be limited;
  • other mandatory rights available under applicable law.

If any provision of this Agreement is found to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Failure by the Licensor to enforce a provision immediately does not waive the Licensor’s right to enforce that provision later.

Headings are provided for convenience and do not limit the meaning of the provisions.
