** NEOSTOCK LICENSING FAQs **
1. How do I know if the title I am designing for will exceed 250,000 print copies?
In most cases, our STANDARD LICENSE will be the right choice for your book cover / cover illustration project. The MASS MARKET LICENSE is for major publishers, or design agencies -- who are working on projects that will be reaching very wide audiences (exceeding 250,000 print copies). *** THIS COPY IS THE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY OF NEOSTOCK LTD. ALL CASES OF PLAGIARISM WILL BE PURSUED VIA DMCA NOTICE ***
2. What license shall I use, if I want to create SWAG, bookmarks, postcards etc?
If the products you're creating are FREE giveaways, like supplementary promotional items for book releases (for instance), our STANDARD LICENSE will be fine.
If however, you are creating items (such as calendars, fine-art prints, templates etc.) TO SELL -- then you will have to purchase the EXTENDED LICENSE.
3.What license do I need, if I want to create Book Trailers?
You can create book trailers with our STANDARD LICENSE, as it is a supplementary promotion tool, and not a product to be re-sold. *** THIS COPY IS THE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY OF NEOSTOCK LTD. ALL CASES OF PLAGIARISM WILL BE PURSUED VIA DMCA NOTICE ***
