This license agreement explains how digital laser cut files, SVG files, DXF files, CDR files, AI files, PDF instructions, and other digital design files created by Ivan Bilous and sold under the VectorPainter brand may be used.
All designs and digital files are protected by copyright. By purchasing, downloading, or using any file, you agree to use it only within the limits of the selected license.

General Terms for All Licenses

- Modify the design for your own use or for producing finished physical products.
- Use printed assembly instructions with your finished physical product, as long as the author’s contact information is removed.

One license = one design/file = one user or one business.
Each separate design or product needs its own license. Buying a license for one file does not give rights to use other files commercially.
License verification: I reserve the right to request reasonable information about your purchase and license use to verify that the design is being used under a valid license.
You agree to provide the requested information, such as order number, purchase date, email used for purchase, marketplace or website where the file was purchased, selected license type, and information about the finished physical products made from the design.
Sanctions and restricted territories: Use, sale, distribution, download, access, or commercial exploitation of my files in sanctioned territories, including the territory of the Russian Federation and by its citizens, is prohibited.
Attribution Requirement
Some licenses require attribution. This means that when you publish, promote, exhibit, or sell a finished physical product made from my design, you must credit the designer.
Required attribution text:
Design © Ivan Bilous
You can place this credit in your online product description, social media post, exhibition description, craft fair listing, packaging insert, or printed information card.

License Verification and Proof of Purchase
To protect my digital designs and ensure fair use, I may request reasonable information to verify that you are using a licensed version of the file.
If requested, you agree to provide relevant purchase and license information, such as your order number, purchase date, email address used for the purchase, the marketplace or website where the file was purchased, the selected license type, and information about the finished physical products made from the design.
Failure to provide reasonable proof of purchase or license information may be treated as unauthorized use of the design.
What Counts as a Physical Product?
A physical product is a finished, tangible item made from the digital design using materials such as plywood, MDF, acrylic, cardboard, paper, or similar materials.
Examples include laser cut decorations, wooden models, boxes, ornaments, signs, educational kits, handmade gifts, and other finished items produced from the purchased file.
A digital file, SVG file, DXF file, template, vector file, instruction PDF, modified design file, or downloadable bundle is not a physical product and may not be shared or sold under any license.
