One-Time Commercial Image License
Bring your book, activity, game, assessment, or educational resource to life with inclusive, consistent visuals—licensed for one clearly defined product.
One license. One product.
Continue selling or distributing that licensed product under the agreement.
License scope and permitted uses are governed by the One-Off Publishing License Terms.
Start with your publishing plan
Choose this license when you are creating one finished educational product. If you plan to release several products, we’ll guide you to a broader commercial option.
A strong fit
You know the single title, resource, game, assessment, or item you want to publish.
The final product and its distribution must follow the license terms.
Explore broader licensing
Your plans extend beyond one separately released item or need a wider commercial scope.
We can help match your publishing model to the appropriate agreement.

Inside the Smarty Symbols library
Find characters, actions, emotions, routines, academic concepts, and daily-living vocabulary in one consistent image style.
Explore the image libraryIndividual color images
Full-color educational images—and the library keeps growing.
Color + outline combined
Assets across color and outline formats for flexible product design.
High-contrast images
A growing selection created for stronger contrast and visual access.
+New images are added regularly. Counts are expressed as growing minimums rather than a fixed grand total.
Vocabulary and concepts selected for real learning, communication, routines, and participation.
Characters and contexts designed to reflect varied learners, identities, families, and communities.
A unified illustration style helps your finished product feel coherent from the first page to the last.
Flexible visual formats
Color and outline versions give you design flexibility, while an expanding high-contrast collection supports projects that benefit from stronger visual definition.
The signature full-color style brings warmth, clarity, and consistent character representation to learning materials.
Outline counterparts work beautifully for coloring activities, lower-ink printing, worksheets, and custom visual treatments.
High-contrast options use a darker visual field and brighter definition for additional visual-access needs.
A clear path to publishing
The One-Time Image License keeps the path focused: define one product, license it, create it, and publish that licensed product.
Identify the single title, resource, game, kit, or item you intend to release.

Consistent visuals for every pageSell or distribute that one product for the permitted lifetime of its license.
The license follows that productOne payment. One licensed product.
The permission continues with that product, subject to the full agreement—not with every future product you create.
Symbols beyond the screen
From hands-on kits to visual guides and communication resources, one consistent symbol language can carry an idea from concept to practical use.
Hands-on learning
01
Step-by-step symbol supports can guide learners through materials, tools, sequencing, and participation.
Communication
Organized vocabulary and sentence-building materials can travel wherever communication happens.
Professional resources
Consistent visuals can make instructional frameworks and communication strategies easier to navigate.
Classroom visuals
Symbols help turn broad concepts into concrete, learner-friendly visual references.
Your product can look entirely your own. These images illustrate the range of educational applications possible with Smarty Symbols.
Examples are inspirational. Permitted formats, distribution, and uses remain governed by the license agreement.
The essential license distinction
Your $499 license applies to one clearly defined educational product. If you publish another title or separately sold item—including another item in a series—you need another one-time license or a broader commercial agreement.
The license follows the registered product—not every future product created by the buyer.
Each separately released or sold item needs its own license unless another written agreement applies.
The licensed product may continue to be sold or distributed for its permitted term without a recurring license payment.
Formats, distribution, modifications, and all other permissions remain governed by the complete license terms.
One workbook sold as one product
One one-time license may be the appropriate path.
Three workbooks sold separately
Each item needs coverage, or choose a broader commercial license.
Choose for the way you plan to publish
The One-Time Image License is the clearest fit for one defined educational product. If you are building a catalogue or selling through open marketplaces, one of the ongoing commercial plans may fit better.
One-Time Image License
For one book, guide, card set, game, assessment, or other approved educational product.
Entrepreneurial Excellence
For creators selling PDF materials through their own website as well as open-market platforms.
Smarty OpenMarket
For downloadable PDF resources sold through marketplaces such as Teachers Pay Teachers, Etsy, or Amazon.
Not building a catalogue? If you are releasing only one clearly defined product, the $499 One-Time Image License remains the most direct pathway. All uses remain subject to the applicable license agreement.
Before you purchase
Clear answers for the decisions creators ask about most. The complete One-Off Publishing Commercial License Agreement remains the controlling document.
It is the single educational product and format identified during checkout or confirmed in writing with Smarty Symbols. Examples may include one book, one flashcard set, one workbook, or one educational kit.
Yes. A second title, separately released item, or additional product requires another license unless a different written agreement expressly covers it.
Do not assume a second format is automatically included. The license is limited to the product format specified during purchase or confirmed in writing. Ask Smarty Symbols to confirm a combined print-and-digital release before purchasing.
The agreement provides one year of access to download assets, beginning on the purchase date. If the specified product is not published within one year, the agreement states that a new licensing fee is required to continue using the assets for that product.
The agreement requires downloaded assets to be deleted when access expires and says they cannot be used to create or modify products afterward. Contact Smarty Symbols before planning later revisions or new editions.
Yes, within the licensed product and its specified format. The agreement permits adjustments such as changing colors or adding text, provided the finished product follows all other license terms.
The agreement requires the specified Smarty Symbols attribution statement on the first page or homepage, plus one approved Smarty Symbols credit image. Review the agreement for the exact wording and placement requirements.
No—not without a separate written license. Software, apps, and interactive games or tools require a different agreement from Smarty Symbols.
