We would like to remind all of our submitters that by uploading content to Shutterstock you represent and warrant that:
(from Section 10 of the Submitter Terms and Conditions)
c. the Submitted Contents and all parts thereof are unencumbered and original works created by you and are capable of copyright protection in all countries where copyright or similar protection is available;
d. if the Submitted Content consists in whole or in part of design elements, fonts, clipart, sprites, vectors and the like that are included in design programs (e.g., Photoshop, Daz, Illustrator) then the end user license agreement, terms of service or the equivalent license held by you does allow you to incorporate such elements in Submitted Content created by you, and to license such Submitted Content to Shutterstock for the purposes set forth herein.
e. the Submitted Content will be neither obscene nor defamatory and does not infringe the copyright or any other rights of any third party, including, without limitation, trademark rights and the rights of privacy and publicity;
The vast majority of our fantastic submitters comply with this straightforward language. However, if we find a submitter is in violation of any part of the Submitter Terms and Conditions, we will take steps appropriate to the specific situation, which may include permanently banning them from Shutterstock and pursuing legal action.
Representation of your royalty-free content by Shutterstock is predicated on your complete compliance with the Submitter Terms and Conditions posted on our site; when we confirm that someone has violated that contract they will be notified of our research and decision, but they have no right to a second chance, and no right to appeal to our legitimate submitters using our forums as a venue.
Our ability to effectively market your work requires that there be no confusion about your obligations as submitters, what we expect, our zero tolerance for violations, or the correct use of the forums.
Thank you.
Shutterstock

means that you are indeed allowed to use said elements in parts of your designs and submit them to Shutterstock?

Maybe someone should explain why THIS:

is in the TOS, while THAT:

Can I upload a photo or illustration that I didn't create?
Absolutely not. Anything you upload to ShutterStock must be 100% yours. You must own the copyright, be the sole owner of the copyright, and the art itself may not contain anything copyrighted by somebody else. If you upload work that isn't yours, your account will be suspended. |
is in the FAQ. I don't really understand layerish, but to me that's a contradiction. |

We will improve the FAQ answer above. Please remember that the FAQ offers only streamlined answers to basic questions; if you perceive a contradiction you must always defer to the Submitter Terms and Conditions, which is the definitive legal document regulating your relationship with Shutterstock as your agent.

Contrary to what someone else has said. No, it does not mean that. It means that if you use them - you must possess a license to use them as you have. In other words, YOU need to be aware of the EULA of the applications you use and the restrictions for use. Shutterstock can not make statements about what you can do with software assets - nor have they. You have to read that part more critically. They are just saying that they are expecting that you have proper permissions when you submit a file that uses application assets - not giving you any permission to do so. Ultimately, you are still responsible...and I surely wouldn't want to be someone Adobe might decide to use as an example. So, if I was you, I'd read their EULA's on the subject very thoroughly. And to those agreeing - I'd be careful too, since you have no athority to give that kind of advice. |

Shutterstock is not authorizing unlawful use. They are simply stating that you are expected to have proper license to use those kinds of things in your images.
As an aside, you need to read up on the difference between 'font' and 'type face'. :)

As an example, there are lots of free fonts you can download, but if you read the text file that comes with many of them you will find you aren't to use them commercially. I don't use fonts for that reason. I'm not going to pay to use a font when I might only make .30 cents on the work myself. |

On the fonts very true, especially as you can get font creation programs very easily, create your own fonts and have no worries at all! |

I am new to this forum and trying to learn from all of you. The forum posts are indeed a good read and I am sure I will be able to learn some great tips and trickes related to photgraphy and related stuff.
| Quote: | | especially as you can get font creation programs very easily, create your own fonts and have no worries at all! |
When you say font creation programs, can you give me examples of some, I mean the ones you have used. I can search the same on "Google" as well but getting the information from a person who has already used it, will be far more better.
And thanks in advance. |
