Design licence
What you can and can't do with CSC Digitizing embroidery files.
When you buy a design you get a licence to use the embroidery file — the design and its copyright remain with CSC Digitizing.
You may
- Stitch the design as many times as you like, for yourself, family and friends.
- Sell finished, physically stitched items (garments, bags, towels, gifts and so on) as an individual or small business.
- Make small adjustments for your own stitching — change colours, resize slightly, combine with lettering or other designs you own.
- Use photos of items you stitched to promote and sell those items. Please credit CSC Digitizing where you can.
You may not
- Share, give away, resell, trade or lend the embroidery files, in original or edited form.
- Upload the files to shared folders, groups, file-sharing sites or design libraries.
- Include the files, or parts of them, in your own design packs or claim them as your own.
- Convert the designs or their previews into print, sublimation, vinyl, laser or other non-embroidery files.
- Use our product photos or mock-ups to sell your stitched items.
Large-scale production
Stitching in large quantities (more than 500 pieces of one design a year) or for a commercial embroidery service on behalf of others needs a commercial licence. Contact us — it's quick and affordable.
Custom digitizing
Files we digitize from your artwork are made for you. You may use them without limit for your own products and business. You confirm you own or have permission to use the artwork you send, and we may refuse work that infringes someone else's rights.
Breaking the licence
If the licence is broken, your right to use the files ends and we may take action to protect our designs. Questions about what's allowed? Ask us before you buy.
