03 Full terms

3.1 Definitions

"Disrupted Studio" means Disrupted Studio (the licensor), reachable at blainepatedesign@gmail.com.

"Asset" means any plugin, font, graphic, illustration, template, code, or other digital file delivered as part of an order.

"Licensee" means the individual or organization named on the order receipt.

"Personal" means use for non-monetized purposes only — your own hobby, learning, portfolio, or non-sale projects. No money may change hands as a direct or indirect result of the Asset's involvement in the work.

"Commercial" means use for any monetized or business purpose — client work, paid projects, products for sale, paid advertising, agency work, or use within a for-profit organization.

"End product" means any deliverable created using an Asset (a logo, web page, mobile app, packaging design, illustration, animation, video, etc.).

3.2 License grant

Subject to payment in full and ongoing compliance with these terms, Disrupted Studio grants Licensee a perpetual, non-exclusive, non-transferable, worldwide license to use the Asset as described in Section 02 for the tier purchased.

The license is granted to the Licensee named on the order. Designers buying a Commercial license for a client should place the order in the client's name (this is industry standard practice).

3.3 Permitted uses

Within the limits of the purchased tier:

  • Personal tier permits use in non-monetized personal projects only — hobby art, learning, portfolio pieces that are not paid, and non-commercial social posts.
  • Commercial tier permits all Personal uses, plus use in client work, products for sale, paid marketing, paid advertising, and within for-profit organizations.
  • Both tiers permit modifying, combining, recoloring, and remixing the Asset within Licensee's own work.
  • Both tiers permit backup copies for personal archival use.

3.4 Prohibited uses

Regardless of tier, Licensee may NOT:

  • Redistribute the source Asset — including selling, sharing, giving away, or making available the original files outside Licensee's organization.
  • Sublicense the Asset as a standalone file — except as explicitly permitted by Commercial Graphics (sublicensing within end products only).
  • Use the Asset in any AI/ML training dataset, embedding-generation pipeline, or generative model training, in whole or in part.
  • Use a Personal license for any monetized output — including paid client work, products for sale, paid advertising, sponsored social content, or anything that generates revenue. The Commercial license is required for any of these uses.
  • Create competing products whose primary value is the Asset (e.g., reselling a font as your own font, repackaging a graphics pack as your own).
  • Claim authorship of the Asset.
  • Transfer the license to another person, company, or successor organization (except as permitted in 3.9).

3.5 Tier limits and upgrades

The seat / volume / usage limits stated in Section 02 are part of the license grant. Exceeding them — using a Personal license for monetized work, exceeding the seat or volume caps on Commercial, or embedding fonts beyond the purchased usage type — requires upgrading to the appropriate tier.

Upgrading from Personal to Commercial (or expanding a Commercial license to cover more seats / a larger team) is available at any time by emailing blainepatedesign@gmail.com. Licensee pays the difference between the original purchase and the upgraded tier (the Grilli Type / Foundry Types pay-the-difference model).

3.6 Permitted embedding and formats

Font orders ship OTF and TTF files. Conversion to web (WOFF/WOFF2) and app formats is the licensee's responsibility — the formats are not delivered, but the conversion is permitted under the Commercial license (see below).

For fonts:

  • Personal: desktop installation only. Embed in personal PDFs as subset (security-locked or print-only) for your own non-sale documents.
  • Commercial: includes Personal usage plus the right to convert the supplied OTF/TTF to webfont formats (WOFF/WOFF2) and self-host on your site, embed in iOS / Android apps you distribute, embed in ePub, use in broadcast, and use in paid advertising. No pageview cap.

For plugins: the plugin itself is installed and run on the Licensee's machine. The Personal vs Commercial distinction governs the use of the output created with the plugin, not the plugin's installation. See Section 3.3.

For graphics: no specific embedding restrictions beyond Section 3.4 apply. Commercial tier allows inclusion in end products for sale up to the volume cap stated in Section 02.

3.7 Refunds

All sales are final. Because Assets are digital files delivered immediately at purchase, refunds are not available except where required by applicable law.

EU buyers: the 14-day right of withdrawal for digital content does not apply once you have downloaded the Asset, per Article 16(m) of the Consumer Rights Directive (2011/83/EU). Before downloading, you may request a refund within 14 days.

Defective or non-functional Assets will be replaced at no charge. Email blainepatedesign@gmail.com.

3.8 Termination

This license terminates immediately if Licensee materially breaches any clause, including but not limited to the prohibited uses in 3.4 or the tier limits in 3.5.

On termination, Licensee must delete all copies of the Asset and stop distributing any end products that contain the Asset within 30 days. End products already distributed to third parties before termination may remain in those third parties' hands.

If a purchase is reversed by chargeback, refund, or dispute, the license terminates automatically.

3.9 Transfer and inheritance

Licenses are non-transferable. Exception: in the case of a sale of substantially all of a sole proprietor's business, the license may be assigned to the new owner at no charge by emailing blainepatedesign@gmail.com with documentation. The new owner must accept these terms.

3.10 Disclaimer of warranties

Assets are provided "as is" without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. Disrupted Studio does not warrant that the Asset will be uninterrupted, error-free, or compatible with any specific software or hardware configuration.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Disrupted Studio's total liability under this license is limited to the amount paid for the Asset.

3.11 Governing law

This license is governed by the laws of the United States and the State of Georgia, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute arising under this license shall be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Fulton County, Georgia.

04 Changelog

The version in effect when you placed your order is the one that applies to your purchase. Older versions are kept here for reference.

  • v1.2 — May 2026 Section 3.6 clarification: font orders ship OTF and TTF only — the Commercial license permits the licensee to convert to WOFF/WOFF2 for self-hosted web use. The right to web-embed isn't new; this clarifies that the format conversion is the licensee's responsibility since webfont formats aren't delivered.
  • v1.1 — May 2026 Restructured to a Personal vs Commercial split across all product types. Personal tier covers non-monetized personal projects only; Commercial covers everything paid (client work, products for sale, paid ads, agencies). Replaces the previous Standard / Studio / Extended naming.
  • v1.0 — May 2026 Initial publication. Standard + Studio for plugins, Standard + Extended for fonts and graphics. (Superseded by v1.1.)
