Limited Icon - Examples

The Standardized TOU Initiative includes using a set of graphical icons to represent the most common terms used in the digital scrapbooking industry. These icons are recognizable by color, shape, and the text displayed on them.

The purple triangle icon is used to show when a product TOU includes specific limitations in combination with other provisions.  For example sometimes personal use licenses, limit the number of times the digi-art can be used to create invitations, greeting cards, candy wrappers, etc. 

When using this icon, always  be clear and concise in the text of your TOU - giving instructions for what is acceptable and what is unacceptable uses of the product.

The icon is designed with space available for additional information.  Although it isn’t necessary, it’s suggested that you use this space to assist the customer understand what limitations may apply.

Simply use the blank space to add text, or numbers to assist.  Here’s an example of how you might do that in the case of limiting the number of uses to ten pieces:

Other times when you might want to use this icon would be:

• When allowing professional crafters to create pages for customers, some designers do not want their digi-art delivered in any digital format.  They allow for crafters to use the art in printed format only.  If you do this, you could replace the number (in the above examples) with the words, “print only” or something similar.
• When allowing professional designers to use their digital tools to create their own art, some sellers do not want their digi-art delivered in any layered format.  They limit artists to redistribution of the artists own products - only if they have flattened the file before distributing it.  If you do this, you could replace the number (in the above examples) with the words, “flat files only” or some other descriptive phrase to clarify.

This information, along with visual examples, is also available in our free PDF quick reference guide.
