SCHEDULE A

In the event of a discrepancy between SCHEDULE A and the DIGITAL DOWNLOAD AND USAGE LICENSE AGREEMENT, the latter shall take precedence. 

Schedule A references the word “Item” which is used interchangeably in the DIGITAL DOWNLOAD AND USAGE LICENSE AGREEMENT as "Licensed Artistic Works" to describe a license to use the Artist's digital art by the Licensee. 

Each Item is non-exclusive, non-transferable, and non-sublicensable.  A purchased Item can be used for print purposes only. The Item cannot be re-sold in digital format.  At the time of purchase, the Licensee chooses and pays for a specific reproduction or printed usage quantify based on the following categories.

Category 1:    (up to 50 copies)
Category 2:    (up to 500 copies)
Category 3:    is offered for commercial customers who elect to purchase the exclusive rights to use an Item in any way of their choosing or to use an Item for high volume production (more than 500 copies) such as print-on-demand services. For pricing and terms, please contact mikart@dreamblueart.com.                                   
Purchase of an Item from Category 1 and 2 automatically enters the Licensee and the Artist into this DIGITAL DOWNLOAD AND USAGE LICENSE AGREEMENT. The Licensee will receive no physical license agreement.

-  Licensee may create a product with or using the Licensed Artistic Product and sell a value-add "printed product" to others at quantities that fall within the limits of the Category that was purchased by the Licensee. 

-  Licensee is permitted to personalize its own product that uses Item  (I.E.: by adding personal name or other descriptive text).

-  Licensee cannot alter or modify the digital nature of the Item at any time.

-  Licensee cannot resell the Licensed Artistic Works in original, altered, printed, or any variation form beyond what is stipulated by this Agreement.
