LICENSE AND USE OF OUR MACHINE EMBROIDERY DESIGNS
You must have an embroidery machine to use these designs. All designs are digital files and NOT a finished product.
These designs are licensed ONLY to the person who purchases the design(s).
If you would like something stitched onto a product, please have the person that is stitching the embroidery purchase the files. Vicki’s Embroidery Station designs may NOT be purchased and given to someone else to stitch on a product.
Vicki’s Embroidery Station will not forward purchased designs to any email address or physical address other than the one used to purchase the designs.
Vicki’s Embroidery Station digitized embroidery designs, either purchased or free designs that are downloaded, MAY NOT be sold, traded, shared, given away, or included in any design set. This includes purchasing with the intent to copy and share with your family or friends.
You may NOT use ANY portion of our design or our exclusive artwork as a basis to create a new design and call it your own. Please respect our work.
By purchasing our designs, you are purchasing a SINGLE USER license to use them. Only the actual purchaser of the designs holds this license. This license is NON-transferable. You may not at any time, pass the files to anyone else for any reason without the express written permission from Vicki’s Embroidery Station.
You may NOT get together with your friend or relative to make a purchase together. This is sharing and is strictly prohibited by our terms of use. We work hard to keep our prices reasonable to make our designs affordable to everyone. Please purchase your own design sets.
Please note that we will not respond to emails with order issues in which two parties split the purchase with the intent of sharing designs.
We reserve the right to immediately terminate repeat downloading abilities to any account holder who is known to be sharing designs.

USING OUR DESIGNS ON ITEMS THAT YOU SELL
Our designs MAY be stitched on items to be sold as long as they are not mass-produced (i.e., hiring someone else to sew the designs or sewing them on a production line).
As long as only the individual purchaser sews the designs, there is no limit to the number of times you may stitch them on items for sale.
Designs used on items for sale must be purchased. You may NOT use our free designs on items for sale. You must purchase the designs if you are going to make a profit.
We encourage the use of our designs to be stitched on items you sell! While you may stitch the designs on items to be sold, including iron-on applique patches, you may not claim to be the creator/designer of the designs themselves. Please credit Vicki’s Embroidery Station by stating “Embroidery designs purchased from Vicki’s Embroidery Station” and kindly link to our website at: www.vickisembroiderystation.com.

In the event of a joint business where there are two or more embroiderers, a license MUST be purchased for *each person*. Again, our designs are licensed ONLY to ONE individual. Each embroiderer must purchase their own copy. In the event of a business partnership, each individual must have purchased their own copies.
USE OF OUR IMAGES

Any attempt to remove the Vicki’s Embroidery Station watermark will damage the image making it unusable.
