What does “personal use” mean?

Personal Use is any use that meets none of the criteria for Commercial Use. Personal, or Non-commercial, use is a use for solely personal purposes. For a use to be considered “Personal” it must meet ALL THREE of the following:

✹ The use must not involve an exchange of money

✹ The use must not promote a business entity (this includes non-profit organizations)

✹ The use must not directly or indirectly result in financial gain

If any one or more of the criteria is not met, then the use is deemed “Commercial”.
