What is a Readymade Download?
A readymade download is a file that is formatted to be downloaded from a unique link, based upon the file chosen by the customer. Once the customer purchases a readymade download, they are provided a unique link that contains the artwork file that they may download, save, print, and use on their own device, legally. Each file is assigned to it's own unique link. Therefore, no other person has access to that file, except through the purchase of their own link.
What is a PDF Proof?
A PDF Proof is proof of your purchase of the artwork as a download and the license terms granted directly from the artist to the customer. Below is a template for a PDF Proof that I use. There should be one PDF Proof per each purchased Readymade Download file. So, if your readymade download contains a png and an svg, there should be 2 PDF Proofs.
Feel free to copy and paste the following template for your own use as an artist:
