License & Copyright

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 SVG  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:

Commercial Use SVG Files - License Pricing Printable Cuttable Creatables

* Embroidery Digitizing, Digital Cookie Files, POD, and Transfer products are NOT covered under the Limited Commercial License. The appropriate Add-On License is required to sell any units of these types of products.

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 commercial use SVG files can be used in your small handmade business. I tried to explain it all clearly, but if you have any questions at all, don’t hesitate to contact me

Purchases made before January 1st, 2022 are licensed under my old license.

This is an End User License Agreement (EULA) between the end user (You) and Printable Cuttable Creatables LLC. Please read this Agreement carefully. By downloading design products from Printable Cuttable Creatables (Licensed Product), You confirm that you have fully read, understood, and agree to the terms and conditions of this EULA, 

There are various allowances and restrictions that apply which determine how the licensed designs can be used by You. These are outlined in detail in the sections below.

You can purchase a commercial license in two ways:

  1. On the product page, use the dropdown License menu to choose the appropriate license option for your project and click Add to Cart.
  2. If you have already purchased a product and then later decide to use it commercially, you may purchase a commercial license separately at any time without needing to re-purchase the design. Be sure to enter the SKU# and Product Name for the design(s) in the Order Notes at Checkout.
  • You 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 designs 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.
  • All designs include a PDF License info card with a link to this License & Copyright page, which will contain up to date licensing information and a link to download a copy of the license.

All Licenses are non-exclusive, non-transferrable, single-user licenses for personal or small business use. The royalty-free Commercial License fee permits Commercial Use and is a flat one-time payment based on the type of product You will produce for resale or distribution. 

You must purchase the appropriate Commercial Use License for each design that you wish to use commercially. BULK Discount available for multiple licenses purchased in a single order, please contact me for details.

Personal Use License: You may use my designs to create just about any project for personal use, or to give away as gifts where no money is exchanged, within the following parameters:

  • All “Not Allowed Uses” outlined below must be followed.
  • If you use any of my designs in your personal projects, and post your project in an online blog, social media, community forum, contest, etc. a tag or link back to printablecuttablecreatables.com is GREATLY APPRECIATED!!
  • If you would like to feature any of my designs on your website / blog, the watermarked preview image(s) (included with download file), or a photo of your project should be used. You may not post or share the actual files.

All Commercial License options include a personal use license and can be utilized for personal use as well.

Limited Commercial Use LicenseAll designs (free & paid) include a Limited Commercial Use License in the base price listed. This allows you to sell up to 50 units with a design as long as you give credit (and link where possible) to printablecuttablecreatables.com in your product listing / description.

If you exceed 50 units sold, or do not wish to give credit, you would need to purchase an Extended Commercial License.

Units sold refers to each unit as it is sold. For example:

  • If you sell t-shirts: 1 t-shirt = 1 unit. 
  • If you sell cookies by the dozen: 1 dozen = 1 unit. 
  • If you sell cupcake toppers in packs of 8: 1 pack = 1 unit. 

If a design is used on multiple units within a single order, each individual unit must be counted as a use. Using the example above, if you receive an order for 10 t-shirts using a design, this counts as 10 commercial uses of that design.

If you sell less than 50 units using a design, no additional commercial license is needed, however you will need to clearly display your License # with each product to identify that your item is properly licensed. Credit should be given as follows: 

Design Licensed from Printable Cuttable Creatables LLC. 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 www.printablecuttablecreatables.com as follows:

[Design Name] Licensed from Printable Cuttable Creatables LLC. License #123-E001

If you do not wish to give credit, or exceed the 50 units sold, you will need to purchase an Extended Commercial License. 

Embroidery Digitizing, Digital Cookie Files, POD, and Transfer products are NOT covered under the Limited Commercial License. The appropriate Add-On License is required to sell any units of these types of products. 

If you purchased an Extended or Add-On License, then credit is not required, but I love & appreciate being tagged on social media when you share your creations!
