——/answers · Licensing

Can two people buy the same design and both sell products with it?

Short answer

Yes. Every design in the catalog is licensed non-exclusively — each buyer gets the same file and the same rights. If you need a design nobody else can use, a catalog is the wrong place to buy it.

——The details
  1. 01

    What non-exclusive means in practice

    Two shops can sell prints of the same breed portrait. Neither can stop the other. Neither can sell the file.

  2. 02

    How to differentiate anyway

    Edit it — colors, text, composition. Pair it with your own photography, your own product, your own audience. The license lets you change anything, and your edits are yours.

  3. 03

    When exclusivity actually matters

    Trademarks and brand marks. For those, commission original work. For everything around the brand — the posts, the print on the wall, the seasonal sticker — non-exclusive catalog designs are the economical choice.

——Common questions
Can I buy exclusivity on a design?+

Not from the catalog. Higher-volume and enterprise licensing is available by contact; exclusivity is a separate conversation and not a default product.

Will you tell me how many people bought a design?+

No. We do not publish per-design sales counts.

Does editing make it mine exclusively?+

Your edits are yours. The underlying design remains non-exclusive.

——What this does not cover
  • —It does not give any buyer exclusivity.
  • —It does not stop a competitor from using the same design.
  • —It does not include per-design sales figures.
↳Where this applies

Reviews

We’re early. Real reviews only.

Apex Flow Digital launched recently. Every purchase comes with a request for honest feedback through our help center. When real buyers write real reviews, they go here — with their permission, by name. Until then, this section stays empty. No fakes. No stock photos. No bullshit.
