7. Responsibilities:

 ~ All stock images provided by Designer are licensed to the Designer and come with the stock site's STANDARD license.

~ The Client is responsible for following all source file licensing requirements once final product is complete, received, and/or in the control of the Client.

• Most stock images have a limit of how many items can be sold. i.e.: depositphotos.com is generally on a 50,000 product count. The lowest number your sourced images show is the number or items you can sell before having to repurchase the licensing rights to each source item. Check the images’ licensing to know what is expected.

Standard Licenses don’t cover usage for physical products like Bookmarks, T-shirts, mugs, etc. Book covers however, are considered packaging with the Book being your physical product. Which keeps them from being classified a physical product. An Extended License would be required for content outside a cover design or marketing that a Client might want to use the design for. A Client must also purchase the rights to the final design for use in an area other than the services paid for. (i.e. you paid for a book cover but want to make posters. You will then have to purchase the licensing rights for posters from the Designer in addition to the Book Covers and you will need to purchase an Extended License per sourced image and font used in the design.
