At Patternbulk, we understand that navigating licensing intricacies can be challenging. To simplify the process, we've provided clear information about our licensing terms. Patternbulk offers two main license types for selling your designs: a Non-Exclusive Personal License with optional Commercial options, and Exclusive Premium Licenses tailored to your buyers' specific needs. Designs under the Non-Exclusive Personal/Commercial License can be downloaded multiple times, giving one design the potential to generate numerous sales. Premium Exclusive License designs are sold exclusively to the buyer at a higher price point, ensuring exclusive rights to the design. Premium designs must be unique, with no similar designs (in look, layout, or colorway) available.
To sell your designs on Patternbulk, you must agree to the following agreement to protect all parties involved. By agreeing to this license and uploading designs on the Patternbulk Studio website, you indicate your acceptance of the Seller License Agreement and agree to the terms and conditions outlined below.
