• You may not use the artwork for commercial purposes, advertising, or merchandise without a licensing agreement
• Reselling the physical artwork as a secondhand item is permitted, subject to our Terms and Conditions

For prints and limited edition artworks sold on Artroy:
• Each print purchase grants personal display rights only
• Prints may not be scanned, copied, or digitally reproduced
• Limited edition certificates of authenticity accompany eligible prints
