I WAS REALLY HAPPY WITH THE MASSIVE POSITIVE RESPONSE FOR THIS IN MY PREVIOUS BULLETIN!!!
This is a contract that will be bound to SOME of the designs that I put up for sale, selling the design rights as normal but allowing me commercial rights to the design, and providing the design buyer with various benefits as well!!
Thank you everyone for your input on this contract (especially Dsadragon), I hope I’ve made it clear, fair and professional!

If you wish, feel free to leave any feedback / criticism, I really appreciate it!
