Copyright is defined as the exclusive right of a creator to reproduce, prepare derivative works, distribute, perform, display, sell, lend or rent their creations. The artwork is owned and copyrighted by the artist. The license fee paid for use of graphics does not constitute ownership, as the copyrights remain with the original owner. The license fee does, however, allow the purchaser of the license use of the graphics as follows: "single application" is defined as one web site (whether commercial, educational, or organizational), or a single individual's own personal website(s). The licensee may alter the licensed graphics to include site-specific information, such as adding lettering to headers and/or buttons. The licensee may not alter the licensed graphics aesthetically.

A theme or template purchased by a webmaster for the sole purpose of building a client web and transferring the license is allowed, see below:

We also offer exclusive licensing: Exclusive licensing is cheaper, it allows unlimited use of the image on any material, but property rights, copyrights stay with the original artist who can at any time, reproduce the image with no limitations on any products. A theme or image purchased by a webmaster for the sole purpose of building a client web and transferring the license would fall into this category, therefore allowing the web-designer to use the same image © when creating multiple sets or web-templates. The images may not be manipulated or altered in such a way as to render the image substantially unrecognizable from the original.
