Terms of Service

A licence to use, not ownership

These terms govern your use of Embroidery & Sewing ("we", "us") and every design you buy from us. By placing an order you agree to them.

When you buy a design you are buying a LICENCE to use the digital file — you are not buying the design itself or any intellectual-property rights in it. The copyright and all rights in every design remain ours at all times.

What each licence allows

Your rights depend on the tier you choose at checkout. In summary: Personal covers gifts and items you keep; Commercial (small business) covers finished, stitched-out items you sell up to a fair-use volume; Extended covers high-volume and multi-line selling. The Licence Guide sets out the full detail for each tier.

A licence is for the buyer named on the order. It cannot be transferred, shared or assigned to anyone else.

What you may never do

• Resell, redistribute, give away, swap or sub-licence the digital design files themselves, in any format, whether free or paid.
• Share, upload or sync the files to any public, shared or file-sharing location, or claim them as your own.
• Mass-produce or sell the design as a digital product (you sell the stitched item, never the file).
• Remove or alter any notice of ownership embedded in or supplied with a file.

Your account and conduct

You are responsible for keeping your account secure and for activity under it. We may suspend or close an account that breaches these terms, attempts to defraud us, or abuses the service, and may revoke licences obtained through such breach.

No warranty and limit of liability

Designs are supplied "as is". Stitch-out results depend on your machine, stabiliser, thread and fabric, which are outside our control. To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability arising from any design or order is limited to the amount you paid for that order, and we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Qatar, and the courts of the State of Qatar have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute, without prejudice to any consumer-protection rights you cannot lawfully be deprived of in your country of residence.
