License and royalty agreement (draft)
If you want to sell our products (maps of the world, cities and countries) on marketplaces – Amazon, eBay, ETSY and others – here is a draft license agreement.
NOTE! IMPORTANT!!!
Some files of world maps, cities and countries are already prepared for printing on some formats, usually – 24 by 36 inches.
In other cases, preparing a file for printing in a given size is a separate, sometimes quite large job. By default, all maps are presented in levels of detail for a print format of 7 feet and more – that is, WALL SIZE
