Digital Designs
Covered Using fonts or alphabet products (such as embroidery alphabets or SVG alphabets) to create unique word, phrase, name, and quote designs, as long as the text from fonts has been converted to vector shapes and/or is rasterized or flattened so that anyone receiving the design no longer needs the font file itself in order to use and enjoy the design.
Covered Using dingbats, doodles, extras, flourishes, or any other illustrated graphics as elements in a new digital design, as long as those illustrated elements are included as part of a font family, and are encoded into a font file format (OTF or TTF). These items included in font files are distinct from any other graphics, in that they are comparable to the characters in a font: they may be used as-is as part of a new digital design, but they must be one of many elements in the design, and cannot be used or re-sold as individual graphics in any way.
Covered/Limited Modifying graphics, illustrations, clipart, or other design objects and combining them with other elements (graphics/text) to create a new and original transformative work, which can be sold as a digital design. See the Transformative Guidelines for examples of how purchased elements must be modified, combined, and transformed.
Covered/Limited Using fonts to create educational resources that consist of the alphabet of a font, such as a “trace the letters” guide for children, as long as the design is flattened so that the font file itself is not included or embedded, and as long as there are other elements included in the overall design (such as illustrations and additional text) and the characters of the font are not presented in a manner or size that they could be easily separated, traced, or used to create new text designs.

The stock product file must be encoded, protected, or hidden so that the user cannot extract that file from the app, program, or game.
Covered Use of stock images or footage as-is (or modified to suit the licensee Company’s needs pursuant to the terms of this license) in digital formats on the licensee Company’s social media accounts, personal websites, or blogs.

Covered/Limited Using a graphic, illustration, or other design element in any app, program, interface, system, or platform (herein “Platform”) where the Company’s customer or user can modify, overlay, and combine elements to create a new flattened custom transformative design. See the Transformative Guidelines for examples of how the design elements would need to be modified, combined, and transformed within the Platform to create a flattened design that can be delivered to the Platform’s user. Original purchased design elements must be used in a way that protects the files from access (such as hotlinking) and/or direct downloading by any third party from the source code of the viewer-facing website page which displays the text.
Covered/Limited Modifying graphics, illustrations, clipart, or other design objects and combining them with other elements (graphics/text) to create a new and original transformative work, which can then be uploaded to an app, program, interface, system, or platform (herein “Platform”) which allows end users of the Platform to use the modified graphic as-is for any purpose. See the Transformative Guidelines for examples of how purchased elements must be modified, combined, and transformed.

Not Covered Uploading or sending as-is or nearly as-is graphics, illustrations, or any other design products to any outside printer, manufacturer, maker, or print-on-demand company, so that the outside person or company can make goods on the Company’s behalf, unless the Company has purchased the separate POD Add-On license as described below.
The POD Add-On
If a designer chooses to enable it, a separate add-on licensing fee for print-on-demand (POD) use may be available to purchase. This option overrides the restrictions in the Print-on-Demand or Third Party section as shown above, and covers others to create physical goods on the Company's behalf. This Add-On licensing fee is in addition to the Corporate License price, and may not be available for all products.
Covered If The POD Add-On is purchased, You may send or upload a licensed design as-is to any POD company, so that the POD company may create finished physical goods (such as printed shirts, mugs, or signs) on the Company's behalf. The POD company may ship the finished goods directly to the Company's customers, or they may ship the finished goods to you.
Covered If The POD Add-On is purchased, the Company may send or upload a licensed design as-is to any outside printer, manufacturer, or other third party maker so that they may print finished physical goods on the Company's behalf. The outside party may then ship the finished goods directly to the Company's customers, or they may ship the finished goods to the Company.
Not Covered Sharing any as-is designs with any other person, company, or third party so that they may print finished goods for their own use; sharing any as-is designs with any other third party so that they may share the designs with others for any reason. All designs sent to a print-on-demand company, printer, manufacturer, or other third party may only be used to create finished physical goods specifically for your Company and your Company's. This Add-On does not allow third parties to create tools (such as stamps, transfers, or stencils) or your behalf.
Sale or Distribution As-is

Not Covered Creating a digital product to sell/distribute which only consists of characters from a font, where the intent is that your customer can create their own text designs with those characters. This includes alphabet products such as an embroidery alphabet, SVG alphabet, or PNG alphabet set.
Not Covered Creating a digital product to sell/distribute where graphics, illustrations, clipart, or other design objects are used as-is or nearly as-is, or closely resemble the design element purchased from us.
Customizing Platform and Programs
Covered Using a font on a Company-owned website in any web-based app, program, platform, or interface (herein “Platform”), which allows the Company’s customer or user to create text designs with the font. The Platform must deliver that design to the Company’s customer or user in either a non-editable, flattened digital format; or printed onto physical end products. Fonts must be used in a way that protects the files from access (such as hotlinking) and/or direct downloading by any third party from the source code of the viewer-facing website page which displays the text.
Covered Uploading a font to your Company-run, web-based shop inside another company’s marketplace or website, which allows your Company’s end user to create text designs of their own inside a preformatted template. Examples include sites such as Templett or Corjl, where the customer fills in text fields with their own information using the font in your structured template. The host system must deliver the completed design to your Company’s customer in either a non-editable, flattened digital format (such as a PDF); or printed onto physical end products. Fonts must be used in a way that protects the files from access (such as hotlinking) and/or direct downloading by any third party from the source code of the customer-facing website page which displays the text.
Covered/Limited Modifying graphics, illustrations, clipart, or other design objects and combining them with other elements (graphics/text) to create a new and original transformative work, which can then be uploaded to an app, program, interface, system, or platform (herein “Platform”) which allows end users of the Platform to use the modified graphic as-is for any purpose. See the Transformative Guidelines for examples of how purchased elements must be modified, combined, and transformed.
Covered/Limited Using an as-is graphic, illustration, or other design element in any app, program, interface, system, or platform (herein “Platform”) where the element will become one part of a larger overall design created by your Company’s customer inside the Platform. The Licensed Product may not comprise the majority of the value of the final design; and the Platform must produce either finished physical goods for the customer (such as printed wedding invitations, birthday invitations, or greeting cards) or a flattened digital product intended for your Company’s customer to print their own physical goods (such as a printable PDF of an invitation or greeting card). Original purchased design elements must be used in a way that protects the files from access (such as hotlinking) and/or direct downloading by any third party from the source code of the customer-facing website page.
Transformative Guidelines
Our base license only covers the licensee Company to create finished physical end products (including but not limited to: clothing, drinkware, household towels and linens, posters and prints, and jewelry) with purchased Design Bundles products. As-is or nearly as-is designs cannot be sent to any other person, printer, manufacturer, maker, print-on-demand site, or any other company for any purpose. The only exception to this restriction is if the Company purchases the separate POD Add-On supplemental license as described in its section above, which allows outside printers to create physical goods on the Company’s behalf in specific circumstances as stated in its section above.
In order to use products from our marketplace in any situation where the Company is not the one creating the final physical end products (situations including, but not limited to: creating new digital designs; creating digital work for clients such as logos; having an outside printer or manufacturer create physical goods on your Company’s behalf; creating stencils, stamps, and transfers; and sending designs to print-on-demand sites), any purchased items need to be edited, overlapped, and combined with other elements (graphics and/or text) so that they are just a part of a new and unique design—what's considered a “transformative work.”
While our licenses do allow the creation of transformative works, this type of use is not the main intended use or purpose for the products in our marketplace. It can take an extensive amount of design work to create something truly new and transformed from the original; for many designs in our marketplace, especially highly detailed and intricate work as well as print-ready designs, changing them enough to meet these guidelines may not be possible.
Below are examples of what is and is not allowed, and the minimum amount of modifying, combining, and overlapping we require when creating a new transformative work:
Example: Creating a new design using a purchased illustration:
Example: Creating a new design using a purchased print-ready text design:
Example: Creating a new design using a purchased silhouette or similar clipart:
Example: Creating a logo using a purchased illustration or clipart:

Additional Terms and Conditions
Ownership
The font software and graphic objects covered under this license are copyrighted, and contain intellectual property information protected by international copyright and design laws, and by international treaties. Any copyright and other rights belong to the original creator. This agreement does not give your Company the copyright to the font software or graphic object, or any ownership claim to those fonts or graphics; this agreement only licenses the non-exclusive rights to use the fonts and graphics as described in this document.
Modification of Font Software or Graphic Objects
The Company is allowed to modify the font software or graphic objects into derivative works. The Company may use these derivative works for commercial projects under the following conditions:
- The Company may not distribute, reproduce, sell, transfer, license, or give away the Company’s derivative adaptations to any other person, company, or party.
- Each user that has access to the modified font software or graphic object must be a licensed user of the original font software or graphic object.
- The Company may not authorize, hire, or commission a third party to make customized versions of the font software or graphic object. Alterations to expanded vector outlines for use in logos and design elements are not considered to be a modification of the font software, and are permitted.
- The Company may not convert original font software file formats to another format (with the exception of webfont formats) without express written consent from the original creator.
- These restrictions apply to derivative works: works that rely strongly on the purchased font or graphic, and are not unique and original works that can stand alone as something new. See the main license text above for situations in which transformative works (new works that can stand alone as unique and original items, which only include modified portions of design elements from purchased graphics) can be created. All new font works made specifically from fonts are considered derivative works, no matter how extensively they are modified.

Disputes, Support, and Services
Design Bundles Ltd. agrees to grant this license on behalf of the owner or licensee of the Licensed Product. All service issues, support needs, and disputes will go through Design Bundles Ltd. as an intermediary between the owner or licensee of the Licensed Product and the Company.
This License shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, English law; and the English courts shall have exclusive jurisdiction to determine all disputes in relation to it except as listed in this License. The Company agrees that if it defaults in its obligations hereunder, damages alone would not be an adequate remedy, and an order for specific damages and no proof of special damages shall be necessary for the enforcement of its obligations hereunder.
The Company agrees that any dispute arising out of or in connection with this contract shall, at first instance, be referred to a mediator for resolution. The parties shall attempt to agree upon the appointment of a mediator, upon receipt, by either of them, of a written notice to concur in such appointment. Should the parties fail to agree within fourteen (14) days, either party, upon giving written notice, may apply to the President or the Vice President, for the time being, of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators, for the appointment of a mediator.
Should the mediation fail, in whole or in part, either party may, upon giving written notice, and within twenty-eight (28) days thereof, apply to the President or the Vice President, for the time being, of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators, for the appointment of a single arbitrator, for final resolution. The arbitrator shall have no connection with the mediator or the mediation proceedings, unless both parties have consented in writing. The arbitration shall be governed by both the Arbitration Act 1996 and the Controlled Cost Rules of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators (2014 Edition), or any amendments thereof (“Rules”), which Rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference into this clause. The seat of the arbitration shall be England and Wales, and the location to be determined by Design Bundles Ltd. All proceedings and documents shall be in English.
- Each party shall bear its own costs in the arbitration. Both parties agree that the following claims are exceptions to the agreement to arbitrate and maybe brought in a judicial proceeding in a court of competent jurisdiction: (i) any claim related to actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights; (ii) any claim seeking emergency injunctive relief based on exigent circumstances (e.g., imminent danger or commission of a crime, hacking, cyber-attack); (iii) any claim arising solely from the Company’s alleged failure to pay fees due to Design Bundles Ltd. This arbitration provision will survive termination of this License.
- THE COMPANY AND DESIGN BUNDLES LTD. AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. Unless both the Company and Design Bundles Ltd. agree, no arbitrator or judge may consolidate more than one Company’s claims or otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. The arbitrator may award injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim.
In the event that the Company breaches any of the terms of this or any other agreement with Design Bundles Ltd., Design Bundles Ltd. shall have the right to terminate the Company’s account without further notice, in addition to Design Bundles Ltd.'s other rights at law and/or equity. Design Bundles Ltd. shall be under no obligation to permit further downloads of any purchases made by the Company, permit use of any previous licenses purchased by the Company, or to refund any fees paid by the Company in the event that the Company’s account is terminated by reason of a breach. Should Design Bundles Ltd. terminate this License for any of the reasons listed in this License or sustain any damages due to the Company’s use or misuse of this License, the Company agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold Design Bundles Ltd. harmless for any damages (either actual or compensatory) incurred by Design Bundles Ltd.
Service issues and support needs may go through Design Bundles Ltd. customer support; creators may also work directly with the Company to ensure that their products are working as intended.
Design Bundles Ltd. has the right to terminate the Company’s license immediately if the Company fails to comply with any term of this EULA. Upon termination, the Company must destroy the original and any copies of the software and documentation.
