The short version
You bought (or were given) a digital file. We grant you a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive license to use that file to make and sell finished physical products from your home, studio, or small business — up to 500 units per design. No attribution is required.
What you CAN do
- Cut, print, engrave, embroider, or sublimate the design onto physical products you make.
- Sell those finished physical products in your shop, on Etsy, at craft fairs, etc.
- Use the design in your own personal or business marketing (social media, your website).
- Modify the design to suit your project (recolor, rescale, combine with other elements).
- Re-download your purchased files at any time from your library — purchases never expire.
What you CANNOT do
- Resell, share, sublicense, or give away the digital file itself in any form (SVG, PNG, ZIP, or otherwise).
- Upload the file to print-on-demand services, design marketplaces, or stock-art sites where customers can download it.
- Use the design in any way that depicts hateful, obscene, defamatory, or unlawful content.
- Trademark the design as your own brand mark.
- Produce more than 500 finished units per design without contacting us about an extended license.
Free files
Files in the Free files section are licensed on the same terms as paid files — but limited to personal use plus up to 200 units of physical resale. We do this so the free tier remains a genuine sample of what we make, without becoming an end-run around the paid library.
Need an extended license?
Producing more than 500 units, manufacturing at scale, or reselling digital derivatives? We're happy to talk — email license@cutfilevault.com with what you're planning and we'll quote a flat extension fee.
