Please note: Tax exemptions can only be applied to Storyblocks for Business purchases.

If you're using Storyblocks for business purposes to where your business or organization is extending its tax exemption status to the purchase of a Storyblocks membership and license, than an Individual License is likely not meeting the licensing requirements you need.
