Do I need to credit the designer?

Short answer

No. Apex files carry no attribution requirement. The only related rule is the reverse one: you may not present the unmodified design as your own original artwork.

——The details
  1. 01

    No credit line needed

    On a print, a shirt, a social post, a client deliverable — nothing has to say 'design by Apex'. Many marketplace licenses require attribution on free tiers; ours does not on any tier.

  2. 02

    The one thing you cannot say

    That you drew it. Use it in your work as much as you like; do not represent the unmodified design as your original creation, and do not register it as yours.

  3. 03

    If you edited it heavily

    Your edits are yours, and you can say so. The underlying design is still licensed, not owned, so the file still cannot be resold.

——Common questions
Can I put my own brand on it?+

Yes. Add your logo, your name, your colors.

Can I remove any Apex marks?+

Files ship without watermarks or embedded credit lines, so there is nothing to remove.

Does a client need to know where the design came from?+

That is between you and your client; the license does not require disclosure.

——What this does not cover
  • —It does not give you authorship or copyright of the design.
  • —It does not stop other buyers from using the same design without crediting anyone either.
↳Where this applies

Use it as yours to use.

Templates, art and stickers with no credit line and no watermark. The license is the whole story.
