The fine print
Version 2026-07-05. Plain-language summary of how buying here works. Not legal advice — but these are the rules I'll hold to and expect in return.
When you buy a printable file (STL/STEP/etc.), you get a license to use it — you do not own the design itself. Two license levels exist:
Which level you get is stated at purchase and by your subscription tier. Redistributing, reuploading, or reselling the raw files is never permitted under any license.
A subscription grants ongoing access to download files in its scope while the subscription is active. Commercial print-and-sell rights granted by a subscription are valid only while that subscription is active.
If you cancel: physical items you already made and sold are unaffected, but your right to keep producing and selling new copies from subscription files ends when the subscription ends. Downloading the entire catalog and cancelling to keep selling indefinitely is a breach of these terms.
The Cream of the Crop tier is the only tier that unlocks files marked premium; no other tier unlocks them regardless of how old the file is. Premium files may also be bought outright as one-time purchases.
Models are versioned. If you own a version and a newer paid version is released, you pay only the difference between the two current prices — recomputed live, so if the older version's price changes later, your upgrade cost tracks it. Some upgrades are marked free for existing owners.
Printed parts are made to order on my own print farm and ship within the United States only. The listed price includes postage. Orders move through pending → printing → shipped, which you can track on your dashboard.
Digital files:because they're delivered instantly, purchases are non-refundable once the file has been downloaded. If something is genuinely broken, email me and I'll make it right.
Physical prints: cancellable for a full refund any time before the order enters the shippedstate. Once shipped, a print is a made-to-order item and can't be refunded, though I'll replace anything that arrives damaged.
Downloads are rate-limited per account (a rolling window) to deter bulk extraction. Normal use never hits the limit; if you do, it simply asks you to wait a bit. New subscribers have a tighter limit during their first days.
Sharing, leaking, reselling, or reuploading purchased files — or continuing to sell prints from subscription files after cancelling — violates these terms. Every download is logged to an audit trail tied to your account. Accounts found redistributing may be terminated without refund, and I reserve the right to pursue the matter further.
