Can Adobe Stock images be used for personal sale items?

I am planning on selling worksheets/activities on the website, Teachers Pay Teachers. It is a website where teachers can buy worksheets and activities from other teachers to use in their classrooms. If I pay for a monthly Adobe subscription, am I licensed to use the images on these products?

In addition to what Mat said: You can't buy an image here and sell it elsewhere as this. But as an example: You can, however, include an asset in a video tutorial and sell that tutorial.

 

(I'm moving this to from the Adobe stock contributor forum to the Adobe stock forum)

 

Look here for more information on licensing: https://community.adobe.com/t5/stock/links-for-licensing-terms/td-p/11366788
(Disclaimer: As always with licensing, this is my interpretation of the rules. I think they are correct and advice is based on reading and interpreting the licence terms and on fair use for both the buyer and the artist/stock company, but I cannot rule out that my interpretation is wrong. I'm not an Adobe employee).

If the primary value of the product is created from the stock assets, you must purchase an Extended license. In most cases, Extended licenses are not included in subscription plans and must be purchased on demand. 

 

Please refer to the license agreements for specific information on allowable use: https://stock.adobe.com/license-terms

 

Kind regards,
