This is a license agreement between you and THE DYNASMILES by DNT / DNT DYNAMITE DESIGN, LLC. By downloading clipart from any of our store fronts, you accept the terms of this agreement.

 

What licenses are available for downloading your clipart?

THE DYNASMILES offers two types of licenses: standard and extended.

Every file downloaded from THE DYNASMILES comes with a standard license also known as a personal use license.

An extended license gives you well defined commercial rights in exchange for an additional license fee. Unless you purchase an extended license, your use of clipart is subject to the standard license terms. 

 

How can I use your standard use licensed clipart?

You may use our clipart in any way that is not restricted (see Restricted Uses below). Subject to those restrictions and the rest of the terms of this agreement, the rights granted to you by THE DYNASMILES (DNT DYNAMITE DESIGN, LLC) are:

Perpetual, meaning there is no expiration or end date on your standard rights to use the clipart. The only exception to perpetual rights is for clipart downloaded on a subscription and not used within 30 days after the end of your subscription.

Non-exclusive, meaning that you do not have exclusive rights to use the clipart. THE DYNASMILES (DNT DYNAMITE DESIGN, LLC) can license the same clipart to other customers.

For purposes of this agreement, "use" means to copy, reproduce, modify, edit, synchronize, perform, display, broadcast, publish, or otherwise make use of.

Termination.
Except in the case of subscriptions, this agreement is effective until it is terminated by either party.

Refunds/Cancellation.
THE DYNASMILES does not offer refunds for downloaded files. File returns will only be considered based on technical issues with the file at the sole discretion of DNT DYNAMITE DESIGN, LLC.

Clipart Withdrawal.
THE DYNASMILES may discontinue licensing any item of clipart at any time in its sole discretion. Upon notice from THE DYNASMILES, or upon your knowledge, that any clipart may be subject to a claim of infringement of a third party's right for which DNT DYNAMITE DESIGN, LLC may be liable, THE DYNASMILES may require you to immediately, and at your own expense: cease using the clipart, delete or destroy any copies; and ensure that your clients, distributors and/or employer do likewise.
