Introducing Licensed Design File Downloads on Printerval.com

Estimated reading: 3 minutes 559 views

We’re excited to launch a new feature that allows sellers to offer their original design files under a license, giving buyers the ability to download and use those designs for approved purposes. This adds new earning potential for designers and extra value for customers who want to use the design beyond just printed products.

For Sellers: How to License Your Design Files

As a seller on Printerval.com, you can now choose to offer your original design files for licensed download alongside your Print-on-Demand (POD) products like t-shirts, mugs, and more.

Here’s how it works:

Upload Your Design: When adding a new design, you’ll see an option to enable licensed downloads. Buyers will be able to purchase a license to download your design file.
Set Your Price: You decide how much to charge for the licensed download of your design. This price is separate from the price of the physical product.
Confirm Ownership: You must confirm that the design is your original creation or that you hold the necessary rights to license it. You’re solely responsible for ensuring the design doesn’t infringe on any copyrights.
License Terms: By listing the file, you agree that the buyer will receive a standard non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the design for personal or commercial use (such as printing on products), but not for resale or redistribution of the file itself.

For Buyers: How to Purchase Licensed Design Files

Buyers now have the option to obtain a license to download the original design file in addition to purchasing POD products.

Here’s what you need to know:

Look for the Option: When viewing a POD product, you’ll see if the seller offers the design file for licensed download.
Add to Cart: Simply select the design file option and proceed to checkout. After purchase, you’ll receive a download link.
Usage Rights: You are granted a standard license allowing personal and commercial use (e.g., printing on products), but you may not resell or share the design file.
