6. Licensing FAQ
Can I sell my finished colored artwork?
Yes! Your colored artwork is your creative expression. You can sell the original finished piece as a one-of-a-kind artwork. However, you cannot make copies or prints of the finished piece to sell—that would require a commercial license.
I run a small Etsy shop. Do I need a commercial license?
If you're selling products that include our uncolored designs (like printed coloring pages, books, or merchandise), yes, you need a commercial license. If you're selling your original colored artwork as one-off pieces, that's covered under personal use.
Can I use these pages for my YouTube videos or TikTok?
Yes! You can create content showing yourself coloring our pages. If your channel is monetized or you're promoting products, please credit Jolly Grid in your video description. For sponsored content specifically featuring our pages, please contact us first.
I'm writing a children's book. Can I include your designs?
Publishing in a book requires a commercial license. Contact us with details about your project—we offer flexible licensing for authors and publishers, and we'd love to help make your book a success!
Can I trace your designs to create my own art?
You can use our designs as inspiration and for personal practice. However, creating derivative works that closely resemble our designs for distribution or sale is not permitted. If you're inspired to create original artwork, we'd love to see it!
What happens if someone uses my uploaded artwork without permission?
Your finished artwork is your intellectual property. If someone uses it without permission, you have the right to ask them to stop or take it down. We take copyright seriously. If your work appears on our platform without authorization, send us a DMCA notice using the copyright complaint procedure in our Terms of Service.
