Licenses

Plain-English summary; the full terms below govern.

Every CraftFile Studio file comes with a license. Choose the tier that matches what you plan to make. If you are unsure, write to hello@craftfilestudio.com before you buy.

Key Terms

• Design: one product in our shop, such as one SVG cut file. A bundle contains several designs.
• Unit: one finished physical item you sell. A set of six coasters is six units.
• Print-on-demand: a service that prints your design on a physical product after a customer orders it, then ships the finished product.

Unit limits count all sales of a design across all your shops and channels combined, not each shop separately.

What You Can Do

• Personal: Make items for yourself, family, and friends. Use in classrooms and at home, provided nothing is sold.
• Commercial: Make and sell physical products, such as cards, labels, vinyl decals, sewn items, and signs, up to 500 units per design. You may describe your products as handmade or made with CraftFile Studio designs; credit is optional.
• Extended: Everything allowed under the Commercial license, with no unit limit. You may also use the designs on print-on-demand products, for example, by selling through Etsy or a similar marketplace and using a print-on-demand partner to fulfill orders.
• Photos and mockups: On every tier you may photograph your finished products and use mockups of them to advertise and sell them. Mockups may show the finished product only, never the digital file for download.

What You Cannot Do

No license allows you to:

• Sell, share, trade, or give away the original files, in whole or in part, including as a bundle or a template.
• Upload files to file-sharing, cloud-drive, or marketplace platforms for others to download.
• Claim the design as your own, or register it as a trademark.
• Use the files, or products made from them, to train machine-learning or AI models.
• Make small edits and resell the result as a digital file.
• Transfer or sublicense your license to anyone else. A license belongs to the buyer and is not transferable. A shop owner may not pass it on to a client, employee, or buyer of the shop.

Examples

• You cut 40 birthday cards from one design and sell them at a market: Commercial.
• You sew 300 felt ornaments from one pattern for your online shop: Commercial.
• You put a design on shirts that a print-on-demand service prints and ships for you: Extended.
• You cut a banner for your child's party: Personal.
• You post the SVG in a Facebook group: not allowed on any tier.

Licenses and Bundles

The license tier you choose for a bundle applies to every file in it. The unit limit applies per design, not per bundle. With a Commercial license for a bundle of ten designs, you may sell up to 500 units of each design. If you need a Commercial license for only some designs in a bundle, buy those designs separately.

Upgrading

You can upgrade later. Write to us with your order number and pay the price difference between your current tier and the new one.

License FAQ

Can I sell items at a craft fair with a Personal license? No. Selling requires a Commercial license or Extended license.

What counts as one unit? One finished item sold, such as one card or one shirt. A set of six coasters is six units. Limits count all sales of the design across all your shops.

Can I upgrade later? Yes. Contact us with your order number and pay the price difference between your current license and the new tier.

Do I need to credit CraftFile Studio? No, though we appreciate it.

Can I use a design in a logo? No. You may not use our designs in logos or trademarks.

What happens if I get a refund or cancel? Your license ends. See the license end rules below.

When a License Ends

Your license ends automatically if your order is refunded, canceled, or reversed by a chargeback or payment dispute. You must then stop making and selling new products from those files and delete them. You may still deliver products sold in good faith before the license ended. If you breach the license, see section 10 of our Terms and Conditions.
