These Terms exist to protect the integrity of our artwork and the small creative business behind it.
2. License Types
All purchases include a Standard Educational Use License unless otherwise stated. Certain uses require an Extended License (see Section 5).

7. Membership License Terms
Active Membership Access
Access to the clipart library, downloads, updates, and new releases is available only while membership is active.
Permanent License for Downloaded Files
Artwork downloaded during an active membership period is permanently licensed and may continue to be used in products created during or after the membership period.
However:
• Access to new downloads ends immediately upon cancellation.
• Rejoining does not retroactively validate unlicensed use during inactive periods.

Excessive, automated, or suspicious downloading activity may result in:

• or termination of membership access.
Abuse of Membership Downloads
Membership access is intended for reasonable personal use in creating educational resources.
Downloading extremely large portions of the library within a short timeframe for the purpose of archiving, stockpiling, or retaining files after cancellation may be considered abuse of the membership system.
Rainbow Sprinkle Studio reserves the right to:
• restrict download access
• investigate suspicious activity
• suspend or terminate memberships engaged in abusive downloading behavior.

While we will work to restore service as quickly as possible, uninterrupted availability is not guaranteed.
Temporary service interruptions do not entitle members to refunds, prorated refunds, or credits.

The use of bots, scraping tools, automated downloaders, crawlers, scripts, or data extraction technologies to access or download Artwork from the website is strictly prohibited.
Attempting to systematically download large portions of the library, archive the collection, or replicate the library outside the membership platform is not permitted.
Accounts engaging in automated or scraping activity may be immediately terminated.

Licenses are granted to the individual purchaser only and may not be transferred, assigned, sublicensed, or included in the sale or transfer of a business, digital store, or product catalog without written permission.

The new owner must purchase their own valid licenses or membership in order to continue selling or distributing products that contain Rainbow Sprinkle Studio Artwork.
Unauthorized continued use by a new owner without obtaining proper licensing constitutes unauthorized use of copyrighted artwork.
