License Types
Q: What commercial licenses are available?
A: We offer licenses for surface patterns, fine art prints, and custom artwork. Each license specifies allowed usage, duration, territory, and whether it’s exclusive or non-exclusive. See the pricing table above for details.
Territory & Distribution
Q: Where can I sell or distribute the artwork?
A: Licenses cover the U.S. by default. International or multi-region rights are available with adjusted pricing and terms. Large-scale or retail-wide distribution may require renegotiation.
Royalties and Fees
Q: How are royalties calculated?
A: Royalties are based on wholesale price, not retail. Exclusive licenses and large production runs typically carry higher upfront fees. Check the table notes for full details. Exact usage rights and royalty terms are outlined in your license agreement.
Units & Usage
Q: What counts as a licensed unit?
A: One unit = one finished product featuring the licensed artwork (e.g., mug, fabric yard, print, framed art). Unit allowances vary by license type and are listed in the pricing tables.
License Renewal
Q: Can I renew my license?
A: Yes. Licenses may be renewed for 75% of the original upfront fee if usage, territory, and distribution remain unchanged. Expanding the scope requires negotiation.
Custom or Extended Licenses
Q: I need a custom or extended license. What should I do?
A: Contact Red Fox directly. Custom licenses allow for exclusive rights, extended territories, or larger production runs. Pricing is determined on a case-by-case basis.
Attribution & Credit
Q: Do I need to credit Red Fox on my products?
A: Credit is not required but appreciated. If your license requires attribution, it will be clearly stated in the license agreement.
Additional Use Requests
Q: Can I use the artwork for purposes not listed in the license?
A: Any additional uses must be approved in writing. We can create a separate license or adjust terms to fit your project.
Other Questions
Q: How long does it take to get licensed artwork?
A: Standard licenses can be issued immediately once payment is received. Custom or exclusive projects may take longer depending on artwork creation and negotiations.
Q:How are digital files delivered?
A: All artwork files are provided in high-resolution digital formats suitable for production. Delivery is typically via secure download links.
Q: Can I modify the artwork?
A: Minor modifications (color adjustments, resizing, cropping) are usually allowed, but major modifications or derivative works require approval.
Q: What is considered “exclusive” vs “non-exclusive”?
A: Exclusive means you are the only client licensed to use the artwork in the agreed territory and category. Non-exclusive means the artwork may be licensed to others under the same terms.
Q: Do I need to track units or sales for royalties?
A: Royalties are based on wholesale units sold. We may request reporting if your license requires royalties; instructions will be included in your agreement.
Q: Can I sublicense the artwork to a third party?
A: No, sublicensing is not allowed unless explicitly included in your license agreement.
Q: Can I purchase multiple licenses for the same artwork?
A: Yes, you can license artwork for different territories, product types, or durations as needed. Each license is separate and may have adjusted fees.
Q: Are there limits on the number of units I can produce?
A: Yes, each license specifies unit allowances. Producing more units than allowed requires renegotiation or an upgraded license.
Choose the license that fits your goals. Hobby makers can start small, test the market, and scale to commercial licenses as their business grows. Serious brands can access higher-volume or exclusive rights, protecting your investment while ensuring your products are unique.
