Design licensing is written to be unreadable often enough that people either ignore it or assume the worst. Here is ours in plain terms, with the edges marked.
What you can do
- Sell physical products you make with the design. Shirts, tumblers, mugs, signs, cards, stickers, wall art. Sell them on Etsy, at a market, in your own shop, wholesale to a local store.
- Use it in client work. A design cut for a customer's order, a logo-adjacent graphic on a one-off commission, a print sold at a craft fair.
- Modify it. Recolour, crop, combine it with your own elements, change the wording where the design allows. The result is yours to sell as a product.
- Use it in your own marketing. Product photos, listing images, social posts showing what you made.
What you cannot do
- Resell or redistribute the file itself. The SVG or PNG is not the product. Selling, sharing, or bundling the digital file (including a "cut file bundle" of your own) is the one thing the license exists to prevent.
- Register it as a trademark. You cannot claim ownership of a design that thousands of other subscribers also have.
- Sell it on print-on-demand as a design in its own right, where the artwork is the entire product and any buyer could upload the same file. Making and selling the finished item is fine; reselling the artwork is not.
- Share your account. One subscription is one person or one business.
The rule that catches people out
The line is between the file and what you make with the file. Everything you produce, cut, print, or press is yours to sell without a per-item fee and without asking us. The digital file stays ours, which is why it cannot be passed on, even for free, even to a friend, even in a "free download" as a shop promotion.
What happens if you cancel
Downloads you made while your subscription was active stay licensed. You can keep selling products made from them. What ends is access to new downloads. We do not retroactively unlicense work you have already sold, because that would be an absurd way to run a design shop.
Do you need to credit uVectors?
No. Attribution is not required on products, listings, or packaging. If you want to tell people where the design came from, we appreciate it, but it is genuinely optional.
The full terms live on the terms of service page. If your situation is not obviously covered above, email us before you print a hundred of something. A straight answer takes us a day at most.
