Updated and Easily Understandable TERMS OF USE


Hey y'all! Okay, I have had TONS of questions about using my clipart for commercial use, and what my terms of use are in general so here it is! I have updated them so HOPEFULLY they are a little more understandable, but still, if you ever have questions please don't hesitate to ask. I am also going to add a page on my blog so you can always find them. ALSO, when your purchase any clipart sets from here on out, you will find a terms of use PDF and my Etsy shop image that you can place on your work (the image is NOT a must).
