Commercial Licence
A legitimately entitled Kerfloom export may be used to make and sell physical products. The digital design itself may not be resold, shared, or repackaged as a competing digital product.
1. What this licence covers
Free-beta exports are included: a valid free export may be used to make and sell physical products under this licence. No purchase is required for that permission. The beta offers no new packs or subscriptions; references to those entitlements cover existing billing or a separately enabled paid service.
This licence applies to SVG, DXF, production sheet, manifest, and bundle files that Kerfloom releases to your account through a valid free entitlement, export-pack credit, or Pro subscription (“Licensed Files”). It does not license the Kerfloom application, source code, interface, algorithms, pattern library as a whole, brand, or files you obtained outside an authorised export.
2. Licence grant
Subject to these terms, Kerfloom grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, non-transferable licence to:
- use the Licensed Files for personal fabrication;
- cut, engrave, score, assemble, finish, photograph, display, advertise, and sell physical products manufactured from the Licensed Files;
- modify dimensions, tool paths, layers, joins, borders, mounting features, and production settings as needed to manufacture those physical products; and
- send a Licensed File to a fabrication contractor, print-on-demand provider, or manufacturing service solely to manufacture physical products for you, provided the provider does not retain or reuse it for another customer.
The current licence has no per-design unit cap for physical products. You may manufacture finished physical products for your own clients while keeping the source files private. The right attached to an entitled export survives later credit use, plan cancellation, account deletion, pricing changes, and discontinuation of Kerfloom.
3. What you may not do
You may not, whether free or paid:
- sell, sublicense, share, publish, upload, distribute, or give away a Licensed File or source bundle in original or modified digital form;
- list the raw SVG, DXF, bundle, or a substantially equivalent generated pattern on a digital-design marketplace, stock library, file-sharing service, template service, or customer download;
- convert the Licensed File into another digital format for redistribution as a design product;
- use a Licensed File or systematic Kerfloom exports to build or supply a dataset, train or seed a machine-learning model, create a replication benchmark, or supply a competing pattern/file-generation catalogue, subject to exceptions that applicable law does not allow this licence to restrict;
- remove rights or provenance information in order to misrepresent the origin of the digital design; or
- use Kerfloom names, marks, or branding in a way that suggests endorsement, partnership, or authorship of your physical products.
Physical product, not digital substituteA photograph, listing image, or assembly instruction for your physical item is allowed. A vector, template, high-resolution line image, tool path, or other file from which a buyer can reproduce substantially the same pattern is a digital substitute and is not allowed.
4. Your content and third-party rights
You keep rights in logos, artwork, text, and other content you provide. You grant Kerfloom only the limited permission needed to store, process, preview, export, secure, and support that content. You are responsible for obtaining permission to use third-party trademarks, logos, characters, designs, photographs, fonts, or other protected material and for ensuring the resulting physical products do not infringe third-party rights.
This licence covers only Kerfloom’s rights in the generated output. It cannot grant rights owned by another person, and it does not guarantee that a particular pattern, product shape, trade dress, or combination is clear for sale in every market.
5. Employees and fabrication contractors
You may provide access to employees and contractors who need the Licensed File solely to manufacture physical products for you. You remain responsible for their compliance. They may not reuse, archive for unrelated work, sell, or distribute the file. This licence covers the account holder and that person’s own business; an affiliate, franchisee, unrelated business, marketplace, or customer needs its own entitled export or a separate written licence.
6. Ownership and attribution
Kerfloom and its licensors retain rights in the software, pattern systems, algorithms, interface, documentation, branding, and underlying reusable components. You own the physical products you manufacture and any independent protectable contribution you add, subject to Kerfloom’s and third parties’ underlying rights.
Attribution is not required on physical products or listings. You may truthfully state that a pattern was designed using Kerfloom, but may not use Kerfloom’s name, logo, or branding in a way that implies Kerfloom manufactured, inspected, certified, sponsored, or endorsed the finished item or your business.
7. Manufacturing responsibility
Licensed Files are provided for adaptation and test cutting. You are responsible for material selection, kerf calibration, structural integrity, ventilation, fire prevention, machine operation, software import, local product rules, warnings, and inspection. Kerfloom’s geometry checks do not certify a finished product for load-bearing, architectural, children’s, food-contact, electrical, fire-rated, medical, or other regulated use.
8. Duration and breach
The licence for an authorised export is perpetual for compliant physical-product use. For an ordinary remediable breach, Kerfloom normally provides written notice and 14 days to correct it. Deliberate file piracy, digital-pattern resale, fraud, or malicious service abuse may cause immediate termination of the affected licence to the extent permitted by law. Rights and remedies that cannot lawfully be limited remain unaffected.
The intended governing law is the law of Serbia, without removing mandatory rights that apply to the customer. The parties should first attempt good-faith resolution through support; no mandatory arbitration clause is intended.

9. Questions and expanded rights
A separate digital-resale, marketplace, franchise, or multi-customer production licence is not included at launch. For a use outside this licence, contact Kerfloom through Help and feedback in Kerfloom Studio or email support@kerfloom.com. Any expanded rights require a separate written agreement.
