Dear Catharina, where you read that? I don't see anything in your copy. Here is exactly where I got it. The following terms of your license: Further, your right to use our textures in commercial products exists only while a valid Professional License is in effect and expires when the License expires. You cannot use our textures in any commercial products without having a current and valid Professional License. Catharina, here is the problem: I pay $35.00 and use one (1) of your textures in an image that goes on a poster or an advertisement or any other product I create. I sell that poster or use that ad and it is a commercial product in every sense of the word. According to your very explicit license contract, I can not sell that product the following month without paying you another $35.00 to maintain my Professional License. And the next month, and the next month, and for as long as I offer my product for sale. use our textures in commercial products , don't mean in your images and all know that. No I dont know that, and everybody else better not know that. Because an attorney or judge would not know that. A commercial product is something that is offered for sale. The way this contract is written, you have complete control. You have done a lot of work in wording your contact to insure that you are protected. But you expect your customers to assumed that some products are excluded? There are no assumptions in contract laws. If you want to exclude commercial images from your restrictions then you need to specify that in your contract. Otherwise they are covered by the restriction. I thought your license was quite well worded to insure that you protected your products and that people would have to subscribe continually. I was just surprised. If you can get get people to go for it more power to you. I was not concerned at all about the $150.00 fee, except it was explicitly restricted to non-commercial. I had every intention of subscribing for your wonderful textures until I saw the pricing combined with the restrictive license terms. I wish you much success. Regards Pinto
