Usage rights

Thornfold Standard Usage Terms

Version 1.0. Effective: 2026-07-11.

These terms explain what you can do with a Thornfold product after you buy it. They are written in plain language on purpose. When you buy a Thornfold product, these usage rights come with it. There is nothing extra to sign up for.

If anything here is unclear, contact us before you buy and we will explain it.

1. What these terms are

These are the standard usage rights for every paid Thornfold product. They form part of your purchase, alongside our Terms of Sale, Refund Policy, and Privacy Policy. Buying a product means these usage rights apply to your copy of it.

2. A few plain definitions

• We, us, Thornfold: the business that publishes these products.
• You: the person or company that buys a product.
• Product: a downloadable Thornfold resource, including its editable files.
• Source files: the editable versions we give you (for example a template

you open and change).

• Finished result: what you produce after you edit and rebrand a product.
• Your client: a customer of your business who receives your finished result.

3. What you are buying

You are buying a copy of the product and the right to use it as described here. You are buying usage rights, not ownership of the underlying work. This is normal for premium templates and only matters at the edges, which sections 5 and 6 make clear.

4. Who owns the work

We keep copyright and ownership of the underlying product and its design. You own your own brand, your own edits, and your relationship with your client. Nothing here transfers our copyright to you, and nothing here takes any rights over your own brand or your client work away from you.

5. What you may do

You may:

• download the product and keep your copy;
• edit, adapt, and rebrand it with your own logo, colours, fonts, and wording;
• use it for as many of your own clients and projects as you like;
• give the finished result to your clients;
• include the finished result in paid service packages;
• use the finished result commercially;
• do all of this without crediting Thornfold.

There is no per client fee and no seat count. One purchase covers your business.

6. What you may not do

You may not:

• resell, share, give away, or publish the source files as files;
• redistribute the product as a template, freebie, or lead magnet;
• add the product to a template library, resource pack, or collection that

others can download or pull from;

• sell or sublicense the usage rights themselves;
• present the underlying Thornfold work as your own original creation to other

makers, or claim you authored the template;

• use the product for anything unlawful.

The simple rule: sell the outcome to your client, not the template to another maker.

7. Client delivery is fine. Redistribution is not.

These two things are different, and the difference is the whole point:

• Allowed: giving your client a finished, rebranded document or asset as part

of your service.

• Not allowed: giving your client, or anyone, the editable source so they can

reuse it as a template of their own.

If your client later wants their own editable copy of a Thornfold product, they can buy it from us.

8. Company and team use

Your usage rights cover one business and its staff. Everyone at your company may use the product in the course of your company's work. The rights do not extend to unrelated businesses. You cannot pass your copy to another company as a way for them to avoid buying their own.

9. Rebranding and editing

We build products to be rebranded. You are free to change the look, the wording, the structure, and the examples to fit your brand and your client. Where a product is advertised as editable, we ship it in an editable form.

10. Updates and versions

If we improve a product you bought, you can usually re-download the updated version from your order. Updates are a courtesy of your one-time purchase, not a subscription, and we do not promise a particular update schedule. The version of these terms that applies to your purchase is the version in force on the day you buy, and we keep a record of it with your order.

11. Free resources

Some Thornfold resources are free. Those have their own short usage terms (the Free Resource Usage Terms). In general you may use a free resource for your own work, but you may not resell it or pass off its source as your own template.

12. Our name and marks

These usage rights do not give you the right to use the Thornfold name, logo, or branding as if you were us, or in a way that suggests we endorse your business. You do not need to credit Thornfold in your finished results, and you may not imply a partnership that does not exist.

13. Fonts and other included assets

Any fonts or other third-party assets we include are ones we are permitted to include in a product you can edit and rebrand. Where a font is covered by an open font licence, we bundle that licence text with the product. You should keep those licence files with your copy. If you add your own fonts, images, or assets to a product, making sure you are allowed to use those is your responsibility.

14. These products inform. They are not professional advice.

Thornfold products are educational and communication materials. They are carefully researched and cited, but they are general information, not professional, legal, financial, or regulated advice for any specific situation. You are responsible for reviewing a product, adapting it to your client, and making sure what you deliver is accurate and appropriate for them.

15. What we promise, and what we do not

We take real care to make our products accurate, well sourced, and genuinely useful. We do not promise that a product will fit every situation, produce a particular business result, or be free of every possible error. If you find a mistake, tell us and we will look into it and correct it if needed.

16. The limit of our responsibility

If something goes wrong that is our fault, our responsibility to you is limited to the amount you paid for the product involved. We are not responsible for indirect or knock-on losses, such as lost profits or lost client work, that follow from how a product is used. Nothing here tries to remove any protection the law gives you that cannot be removed.

17. If these terms are broken

If the usage rights are seriously broken, for example by redistributing the source files, the rights granted here can end. Ending the usage rights does not require us to refund the purchase, and it does not limit any other step we may reasonably take to protect our work.

18. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms for future purchases. Any change applies going forward, not backward: the version that applied when you bought a product keeps applying to that purchase. We record the version with each order, and we publish the current version and its date.

19. Fairness and disputes

We would always rather sort out a problem directly and quickly, so please contact us first. These terms are meant to be read fairly and in plain meaning. If a particular sentence turns out not to be enforceable where you are, the rest still applies.

20. How this connects to our other policies, and contact

These usage rights sit alongside our Terms of Sale (how a purchase works), our Refund Policy (when we refund), and our Privacy Policy (what data we handle). Together they describe the whole purchase. For any question about what you can do with a product, contact us and we will help.
