Question about Resale Rights

by Ross Cohen
9 replies
Say you have resale rights to a sales page and product. You can sell the product through your own site with that same sales page.

Say you sell the site and sales page, though, to someone else, so they can promote their own site with that sales page and same product.

Is that not allowed according to sale rights? Would that third person have to buy the resale rights from the original seller? Or what if the second person had something like "master resale rights"?

Thanks!

    That should be spelled out in the terms of the resale license that came with the product. Typically, if it had master resale rights, it would include that, but you could not change the product's name, author, or content (that would imply PLR rights)

    I saved this from a website for my research, hope it explains...

    * Basic Resell Rights
    You have the right to resell the product but your customer does not have the right to resell it to another. You keep 100% of the profit after every sale you make.

    * Master Resell Rights
    You have the right to resell the product as well as the Basic Resell Rights to your customers. Your customers can in turn resell the same book to their customers. The Master Resell Rights can either be bundled together with the purchase of the product or purchased separately from the product. Master rights are great when used as an upsell!

    * Private Label Rights
    This is the grand daddy of all resell rights! Buying Private Label Rights usually give you the right to change the product in any way you like, put your own name on it, sell resell rights or even master resell rights to others and basically use and treat the product as it were your own creation.

    * Give Away Rights
    You can give the product away for free. In most cases, however, you cannot resell and/or edit it.

    * Royalty Rights
    You have to pay the original product author or franchisor a percentage of every sales made by you. This right normally applies to physical products. McDonald’s and books found in bookstores are very good examples that demonstrate this right.

      I think kursat showed nice definitions.

      When in doubt I usually do not assume but contact the owner. It is important to understand exactly what the rights are. Sometimes the owner spells out additional conditions.

      Again, I would not recommend to assume something if it is not clear.

        I am in agreement here. You want to check with the owner.

        That does not always mean the person who sold it to you.

        It may be more proper to say, you need to check with the product creator.

      This (the parts in blue above) isn't right at all.

      Private Label Rights by no means necessarily give you the right to sell resell rights or master resell rights to others.

      The terms under which PLR is sold vary considerably.

      Very often indeed, those rights are not included. I'd expect that they're not included with the overwhelming majority of PLR that's sold through this forum, for a start.

      I strongly advise you not to rely on that website for information, Kursat, in case other things there are also very misleading/inaccurate.

    You'd have to check with the original creator or who you purchased resale rights from. I've heard of the new owner having to purchase the rights to sale it again but sometimes they might not need to. Not sure, sorry I can't be a help too much! lol.

    Even such simple terms as resell rights and master resell rights vary a lot from marketer to marketer. That's why products sensibly come now with a rights document, setting out exactly what you can do.

    In the original case mentioned, I'd generally assume that a simple flip of a site was okay (providing that person flipping the resell rights product deleted all copies of it and no longer sold it). But, based on the pure rights document, this may be wrong. It's no different to all the companies that ban the resale of software (and we all see this all the time now that so much software is downloaded from app stores directly to devices from which it can't be transferred).

    If they are using the sales page and product, then that is just part of regular resale rights. However, if they are selling the sales pages and product after buying it from you, then they need master resale rights.
