Digital Product Terms
What You’re Buying
When you purchase digital products, you’re buying a license to use them, not ownership of the design itself. Think of it like buying a book—you own your copy, but not the rights to republish it.
Personal Use License
- Use templates for your own business
- Customize colors, fonts, and content
- Create unlimited projects for yourself
- Print materials for your own use
What’s NOT Included
- Reselling or sharing the original files
- Creating templates to sell to others
- Claiming the designs as your own creation
- Sharing your login or download links
Commercial License
Some products offer commercial licenses for client work. These are clearly marked and priced separately. Check product descriptions for details.
Intellectual Property
Everything here is mine (or properly licensed to me) unless stated otherwise:
- Articles and blog posts
- Product designs and templates
- Photography and graphics
- The overall look and feel
Copyright © 2025 Iconogenic, Katja de Bruijn

User Conduct
This is a drama-free zone. That means:
- No harassment, hate speech, or general nastiness
- No spam, schemes, or sketchy business
- No trying to break things or hack the site
- No impersonating others (be yourself!)
Purchases & Downloads
Digital Delivery

Your Responsibility

- Ensure you have the right software before purchasing
- Read product descriptions thoroughly
- Contact support if you have issues
Privacy & Data
How I handle your information is covered in detail in my Privacy Policy. The short version: I respect your data like I respect your energy—carefully and minimally.
External Links
I sometimes link to other sites I think you’ll love. Once you leave my site, their rules apply, not mine. I choose links carefully but can’t control what happens out there in the wild internet.
Disclaimers
No Guarantees
I share what’s worked for me and my clients, but I can’t guarantee specific results. Your success depends on many factors, including your implementation, market, and whether Mercury is in retrograde.
Not Professional Advice
I’m not a lawyer, accountant, or therapist. My content is educational and inspirational, not professional advice. When in doubt, consult appropriate professionals.
“As Is” Basis
Everything here is provided “as is.” I do my best to keep things accurate and working, but I’m human. Sometimes things break or contain typos. It happens.
Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, I’m not liable for any damages arising from your use of this site or products. This includes lost profits, hurt feelings, or coffee spilled while reading my content.
Changes to These Terms
I may update these terms occasionally. Major changes will be announced in my newsletter. Continuing to use the site means you accept any updates. No sneaky stuff—just keeping things current.
Governing Law
These terms are governed by the laws of Netherlands. Any disputes will be handled with coffee, conversation, and if necessary, mediation before courts.
Termination
I reserve the right to terminate access for anyone who violates these terms or generally makes the internet a worse place. This is rare—I prefer conversations to confrontations.
Contact Me
Questions about these terms? Something unclear? Just want to say hi? Email here.
I wrote these terms to be human-readable because legal documents shouldn’t require a law degree. If you’ve made it this far, you deserve a medal. Or at least a virtual high-five.
The Short Version
Be kind. Respect copyrights. Use products as intended. Don’t share paid stuff for free. When in doubt, ask. That’s it—that’s the whole philosophy.
Building beautiful brands together,
Katja
P.S. If you’re a lawyer and you’re cringing at my casual language, I hear you. But my people appreciate clarity over legalese. The important stuff is all here, just wrapped in warmth.
