Understanding Exclusive vs. Non-Exclusive Image Sales

[cartoonsaz]

Hello friends, I have created a website and want to list my images for sale. I have a question: If I sell an image as non-exclusive, does that mean I can no longer sell it as exclusive?

In other words, do I have to choose either exclusive or non-exclusive, and once I have sold an image as non-exclusive, I can no longer sell it exclusively to someone else? Is that correct? (I am the creator of my images.)

You can sell an image as both non-exclusive and exclusive. If people buy it non-exclusively, you can continue selling it to others. However, if someone purchases it exclusively, you should stop selling it to anyone else.

Thank you so much for your guidance! It was very helpful for me.

Yes, that’s right. If you sold the image as non-exclusive, you can no longer sell it as exclusive. It is better to decide immediately how you want to sell - one customer or many.
