Limited Commercial License | ShapeHouse Studio

We create our designs to be used, enjoyed, and turned into something great! Whether you're making something for yourself, creating gifts, or selling your finished projects, we want our licensing to be simple and easy to understand.

Our Limited Commercial License gives you plenty of flexibility to create and sell with ShapeHouse Studio designs while also protecting the digital files and original artwork we've worked hard to create.

Below you'll find the details of what you can make and sell, along with a few important limitations. If you ever have a question about what's allowed, just reach out—we're always happy to help.

Terms of Use

Your purchase of a ShapeHouse Studio digital design includes a license for personal use and limited small-business commercial use. Copyright and ownership of all original designs remain with ShapeHouse Studio.

Limited Commercial Use

Permitted products include:

Finished physical products sold directly to customers.
Complete DIY kits containing the ShapeHouse Studio wood pieces and the supplies needed for the customer to create the finished project, such as paint, brushes or applicators, glue, ribbon, fabric, embellishments, or other required materials.
Adding only incidental supplies to unfinished blanks does not make them a complete DIY kit. A complete kit must include the materials reasonably necessary for the customer to create the finished project being offered or shown.
Paint-party and workshop projects that follow the same complete-kit requirements.

Once you reach 100 physical products sold from a design, you must repurchase that design to receive a new limited commercial license for an additional 100 products.

Selling Unfinished Wood Blanks

Standalone unfinished wood blanks are not permitted under the standard commercial license.

If you wish to sell unfinished physical blanks made from ShapeHouse Studio designs, you must purchase our separate Small Business Extended Commercial License for Wood Blanks.

The Extended Commercial License:

Allows qualifying small businesses to sell unlimited unfinished physical blanks made from ShapeHouse Studio designs they have purchased.
Is valid for 12 consecutive months from the date of purchase.
Must be renewed annually to continue selling unfinished blanks.
Does not include any SVG or digital design files. Each design must be purchased separately.

You May

Use ShapeHouse Studio designs for unlimited personal projects.
Create and sell permitted finished physical products within the commercial-use limits above.
Create and sell complete DIY kits and paint-party projects that include the supplies needed to complete the project.
Resize the entire design proportionally as needed for your physical project.
Use permitted ShapeHouse Studio designs to create physical products for your own small business.
Sell standalone unfinished blanks only while covered by an active Small Business Extended Commercial License for Wood Blanks.

You May Not

Sell ShapeHouse Studio designs as standalone unfinished blanks without an active Extended Commercial License.
Resell, share, distribute, upload, transfer, sublicense, or give away any ShapeHouse Studio digital file or any portion of a file.
Share files through email, cloud storage, file-sharing services, social media, online groups or forums, storage devices, or with customers, employees, contractors, friends, or family members.

Product Photos & Marketing

You must create and use your own original product photographs and marketing images.

ShapeHouse Studio photographs, mockups, listing images, graphics, or other promotional materials may not be copied, downloaded, reproduced, or used to advertise your products.

Using AI or other editing tools to alter, restyle, recreate, enhance, remove or replace backgrounds, add or remove elements, or otherwise modify ShapeHouse Studio photographs or marketing images is also prohibited. An altered or AI-generated image derived from a ShapeHouse Studio photograph does not qualify as your own original photography.

Your product photos must originate from photographs you personally create of the physical products you produce.

Digital File Terms

Your purchase is for a digital file only unless otherwise specifically stated.
Digital purchases are non-refundable due to the nature of the product.
The purchased file is licensed only to the purchaser and may not be transferred or shared with another individual or business.
Purchasing a ShapeHouse Studio file does not transfer copyright or ownership of the design.
Any use not specifically permitted by these terms requires written permission from ShapeHouse Studio.
By purchasing or downloading a ShapeHouse Studio digital file, you agree to comply with these Terms of Use.
Questions about licensing or a specific intended use are always welcome. Please contact ShapeHouse Studio before proceeding with any use that is not clearly covered above.
