License & Copyright
2015-2021

As a small business, I love when my designs can help other small businesses succeed, which is why I include a generous Limited Commercial Use License in the base price for all Creatables designs (free & paid).

So you can start selling products using my designs, and if it turns into one of your big sellers (or if you prefer not to include design credit in your shop listings), just purchase the commercial license for the product type and scope of your project. See License Pricing table below: 

SVG Commercial License options

I know this commercial licensing thing can be tricky, so this page explains the process of purchasing the right license for your needs, and how my designs can be used in your commercial projects and products. I tried to explain it all clearly, but if you have any questions at all, don’t hesitate to contact me

This license applies to all designs purchased through Dec. 31st 2021. Purchases made after January 1st, 2022 are licensed under my current license.

  • On the product page, use the dropdown menu to choose the appropriate license option for the number of units you intend to sell and click Add to Cart.
  • You will need to purchase a separate license for each product you intend to use commercially.
  • A Theme Set License, or SVG Scrap Kit License includes commercial use for all elements in that product.
    • For example, you may use all elements included in a Theme Set with the appropriate license, however if you are using elements from 2 different Theme Sets, you will need to add 2 Theme Set Licenses to your cart.
  • After checkout, your receipt will become your Proof of Purchase, and your Order # + SKU # will serve as your License #, which you will need to refer to when selling your products. Be sure to keep your receipt!
    • For example: You purchased a license for SKU# E001, and your Order# is #123. You License number is #123-E001.
    • For multiple licenses in a single purchase: You purchased a license for SKU# E001 and E002, and your Order# is #123. Your License numbers are #123-E001, and #123-E002.
  • You will receive a PDF file with a link to the current license terms for your reference.

If you already purchased a product and then decide to use it commercially, you may purchase a commercial license separately at any time without needing to repurchase the design. Be sure to enter the SKU# and Product Name for the design(s) in the Order Notes.

All licenses are non-exclusive and non-transferrable.

If you are selling products using designs from Printable Cuttable Creatables with the Limited Commercial License, you will need to clearly display your License # with each product to identify that your item is properly licensed.

  • If the product is sold in a physical store / craft fair, etc., copyright credits must be placed visibly next to the product. Credit should be given as follows:

This design (“Design Name”) is used with permission under Printable Cuttable Creatables License #123-E001.

  • If the product is being sold online, credit must be placed on the same page as the product (in product description, NOT on separate pages), and must include a link back to printablecuttablecreatables.com as follows:

This design (Design Name) is used with permission under Printable Cuttable Creatables License #123-E001

If you purchased a Standard or Extended License, then of course credit is not required, but I love being tagged on social media when you share your creations!

 

Personal / Blog/Website Use: You may use my designs to create just about any project for personal use or to give away as gifts where no money is received/profit is made, within the following parameters:

License Verification:

Be sure to keep your receipt for possible future license verification! Printable Cuttable Creatables has the right to confirm the purchase of a license by customers at any time. The license for each set follows only one business/user at a time and cannot be transferred to another user.

To ensure my products are being sold under the appropriate license, and are compliant with the above usage terms, and with proper copyright credits, you may receive a friendly email or message from Printable Cuttable Creatables to confirm proof of purchase for the designs used in your products, or to make sure your crediting and usage is correct.

Parties who refuse to respond or place correct credits will be notified that they must cease sales or use of products. Failure to provide proof of purchase and proper license(s) voids any agreements and revokes the license(s). Parties who continue to sell products that use designs by Printable Cuttable Creatables, LLC without the appropriate commercial license or proof of purchase will be considered in copyright violation, and legal action may be taken depending on the severity of the violation.

I know this copyright stuff can be confusing, but I’m here to help and I want my designs to enhance your products!

If you aren’t sure which license to purchase, or have any questions about how to correctly sell your projects under my licenses, feel free to contact me and I will be happy to help you!
