Licensing Agreement
We believe in shipping, not seat-counting. Our licensing model is designed to be simple, generous, and friction-free so you can focus on building your product.
The "No-Nonsense" Team License
Unlike other libraries that charge per user or restrict edit permissions, our paid licenses (Architect & Partner) cover your entire immediate team.
- No seat counting: You do not need to buy separate licenses for every designer or developer on your project.
- Collaborate freely: You can invite your team to the Figma file to comment, inspect, or edit without worrying about license violations.
Which license do I need?
| License Tier | Best For | Usage Rights |
|---|---|---|
| Lite (Free) | Evaluation & Side Projects | Individual use. Perfect for testing the architecture or building a personal side project. |
| Architect | Production Apps | Team use. You are building a commercial product, SaaS, or client website. Covers you and your developers/designers working on that product. |
| Partner | Scaling Teams | Team use + Support. Same IP rights as Architect, but includes dedicated support channels and implementation workshops. |
What you CAN do (The Rights)
By purchasing the Architect or Partner package, you are granted a non-exclusive, worldwide, lifetime license to use the resources ("Item") to create unlimited End Products.
- Unlimited Projects: Use the library in as many commercial projects, websites, or apps as you like.
- Team Sharing: Share the Figma file and associated code with your immediate team (employees or contractors) for the purpose of developing your End Product.
- Client Work: You can use the library to build websites or apps for your clients. You may transfer the End Product (the finished app) to the client.
- Code Connect: You may sync the library with your private code repositories and configure Figma Code Connect for your team's use.
- Modifications: You can modify, combine, or remix the components to fit your brand.
What you CANNOT do (The Restrictions)
We are reasonable, but we need to protect our business so we can keep building for you.
- No Resale of Source: You cannot resell, redistribute, or license the Figma file or the specific code patterns as a standalone library, UI kit, or template.
- No "UI Kit" Competitors: You cannot use our components to build a competing design system or UI library for sale (e.g., you can't buy our kit, change the colors, and sell it as "Dark Mode UI Kit").
- No Public Source Code: You cannot host the uncompiled source code or Figma file in a public repository (like a public GitHub repo) where it can be easily downloaded for free by the general public.
- No Open Source extraction: You cannot include the library in an open-source project where the primary value of the project is the UI library itself.
Definitions
- The Item: The Figma file, variables, tokens, and documentation provided by us.
- End Product: A unique implementation of the Item. For example, the Item is our Table Component; the End Product is your SaaS Dashboard where users view their data.
- Immediate Team: People working directly on your projects (employees, co-founders, or contracted freelancers). This does not include a parent company, subsidiary, or loose network of unrelated agencies.
Refund Policy
We want you to be confident in your architecture choice.
14-Day Money-Back Guarantee
If you purchase the Architect tier and find that the architecture doesn't fit your workflow, contact us within 14 days. We will issue a full refund.
- Condition: Upon refund, you must delete all copies of the Figma file and stop using the specific components in your projects.
- Partner Tier: Due to the manual time investment (workshops/calls), refunds for the Partner tier are handled on a case-by-case basis regarding the service portion of the fee.
