So I have a calender made up in MPix to be sent to me and my family but I was just curious if it's breaking their terms of service if I try to sell more to other people...

This might be a dumb question but I just thought I would ask to make sure.

I really hope this doesn't make me sound dumb. Haha!

what does the TOS say? if they are your images, i dont think they have any control over how you distribute them.

"Advertise or offer to sell any goods or services for any commercial purpose unless you have our written consent to do so"

I don't know if this is talking about the "sample" images that they have available to put in there. Hmm...

Bump?

P.s. - Any other sites I can go through that I wouldn't need to worry about this kind of thing?

I've used Lulu in the past for calendars. I think they are good quality, but pretty high prices though...

Lulu.com is still cheaper than the big box stores, and your cost drops to < $10 + s/h on qty 5 or more. Lulu is a print-on-demand service, and the author retain full copyright and control of their content. Excellent quality.

Uhmm... If you're buying your calendars for $10 + S+H, how much are you selling them for? I have just recently purchased a themed 2013 calendar by the Dayspring company they created using very nice images from shutterstock for $12.99. How can you be competitive with other calendar companies selling their final product for $12.99 when your costs for manufacturing alone would be $10+?

I have worked with mpix in the past - they are very accessible. Why don't you write an email or call them and ask?
