After reading this month’s assignment (Inspirational Verse Pics) and the related training about adding text to photos, I downloaded the Over app that was mentioned. However, I found a “Terms of Use” from Over and was concerned that any pictures I edit or add text to on the app would be for “personal use only” and therefore could not be submitted for any assignments here on Lenspiration. Perhaps I misunderstood what their Terms of Use was implying, but I wanted to check before I spent time designing verse pics on there if I wouldn’t be able to use them. I was assuming any photos submitted for the Shoot to Serve assignments need to have permission for commercial use, but I might be wrong?
Also, how can I tell if the fonts on Over are for commercial use or personal use only?https://www.madewithover.com/legal#privacy
Here is the link for the Terms of Use; note especially Section 2 and Section 3 A.I’m new to submitting photos and determining “Commercial Use” or not, so if anyone else has a better understanding of this, I would appreciate your feedback.

3. ACCESS AND USE
(A) Our Services are provided for your personal and commercial use except when our Service Content is used to create end products for sale where the lifetime sales of the end product for sale exceeds 400 units. An end product for sale can be either a digital design or physical item created using our Services that you and/or your client intends to sell (an “End Product”). You understand and agree that End Products you create using our Service Content must be a unique implementation of the Service Content, significantly different than the original piece of Service Content and require time, effort, and skill to produce. For example, if you incorporate the Service Content it into a calendar, t-shirt or mug that you design and sell to multiple people, that is considered an End Product.

This article explains a similar thing, and also specifically says it’s fine to use the fonts in Over for commercial purposes. 🙂
