F.A.Q.

What does “Royalty Free” and “Non-Exclusive” icons mean?

Royalty Free license basically means you pay a one time fee for any of the downloadable products on this website and get to use them as many times as you need without paying additional royalties. Remember while you get the usage rights, Cidepix will always retain the copyrights. Your usage rights as a customer are non-transferable. Royalty free license does NOT grant you the rights to resell, distribute or trademark any of the downloadable products in their original or altered forms.

 Non-exclusive means that the items are available for sale more than once. Cidepix keeps selling the items after you’ve made your purchase.

Can I copyright or trademark my purchased items?

NO! You may NOT copyright or trademark any of the items (icons, clip art) you purchased as Cidepix will always retain the copyrights and other customers will continue to purchase the same image. You do get the right to use your purchased image(s) as many times as you need though.

Can I buy any of your images (icons, clip art) exclusively so no one else can use it?

NO! Cidepix does not currently offer exclusive solutions. All the content is available as non-exclusive, so Cidepix can provide an affordable option to customers around the world.

Can you customize an image (logo, icon) for me?

Can I make changes to the image?

Yes. Feel free to make necessary changes after your purchase. Please keep in mind that you can NOT claim copyright on altered versions just like you can not do that for the originals as Cidepix always retains the copyrights.
