Thank you for your interest in Dancing Crayon Designs. We love working with teachers as partners in making learning engaging and fun. In using our artwork and products, you agree to the following terms:

PERSONAL and CLASSROOM USE:

You may use our graphics for your own personal and classroom use. The clip art is provided for the use of the original purchaser only and may not be shared with others.

SMALL BUSINESS COMMERCIAL USE:

You may use our graphics to create and sell your own products and teaching resources under the following terms:

1. CREDIT REQUIREMENTS:

Credit is required and may be provided in text form or by using the 'licensed-by' image provided in the clip art package. The following text may be used to provide credit:

Images licensed by Dancing Crayon Designs. © www.DancingCrayon.com

(Where possible, please link the above text and/or the 'licensed-by' image to DancingCrayon.com)

This credit may be placed on a credit page or similar in your document or on the page where the graphic is used.

2. ALLOWABLE USAGE:

Images may be used in worksheets, lesson plans, activity pages, centre activities, and teaching resources, subject to the following terms:

a. Images may only be used as a supportive element to your product. This means the product needs to include your own ideas, activity, words or other elements that adds value and creates more than a collection of images.

b. Images should be merged into your project and secured in your document so that they can’t be easily extracted and used for other purposes. (See section 5 below for information on using images in ‘moveable’ digital activities.)

c. Resources that use the images as coloring activities, posters, flashcards and similar MUST incorporate additional content or activities. It is not permissible to collate and label the images for resale in any format.

3. USAGE NOT PERMITTED:

a. Images may not be used in any document, resource or project that has a ‘Creative Commons’ license.

b. Images may NOT be resold, traded, shared or redistributed as clip art or included in a new clip art set.

c. You may not claim the artwork as your own. Copyright of images always stays with Dancing Crayon Designs.

d. You may not use our images (or elements of our images) to trace or otherwise create new clip art images.

e. Clip art may NOT be used in products that consist of a collection of images only, in any format. This includes coloring pages, posters, flashcards, and similar where there is no other educational content or activity included.

4. YOUR FREE PRODUCTS:

All commercial use terms apply to the products you create as freebies, including providing credit and ensuring your own content is added.

5. USE IN SMARTBOARD PROJECTS and DIGITAL RESOURCES INCLUDING MOVABLE IMAGES:

Teacher-sellers may use our images to create products for SmartBoard, Promethean Boards, Boom Learning, and other digital learning platforms under the following two options:

a. Option One: Secured: No additional license is needed if images are secured so they can’t be extracted from the resource or if the images are merged with background, a shape or text.

b. Option Two: Movable: A ‘movable images’ license is available separately but is only needed if you are unable to secure the image as above. 

6. USE OF OUR FREE PRODUCTS:

Commercial use of our free clip art is allowed under the same terms of use as our paid clip art products.

Our free clip art may NOT be uploaded and shared on other websites. You may certainly provide a link for your friends and colleagues to visit our store to download their own free image files if they would like a copy for themselves.

7. MASS PRODUCTION / EXTENDED USE:

If you would like to use the images in a mass-produced product or have usage requirements not listed here, please enquire about a customized special usage license.

8. USE IN PRINT-ON-DEMAND PRODUCTS:

If you intend to sell products on print-on-demand websites such as CafePress, Zazzle, please enquire about a customized special usage license. Designs will only be considered where the image is a small part of a larger design.

9. USE IN APPS:

If you’re creating an app to be sold or shared, please enquire about a customized special usage license.

10. USE IN YOUR TEACHER-AUTHOR LOGO AND MARKETING MATERIAL:
