Licence — DigitalSkylight

What applies to every product, at every tier

Who is licensing what to you. The licensor is (owner review needed — registered legal name — set BUSINESS_LEGAL_NAME), trading as DigitalSkylight. The files, their structure, their text and their design stay its property, or the property of whoever licensed them to it. What you buy is permission to use them, on the terms set out here.

The licence begins when your payment is confirmed and continues indefinitely. Nothing here expires on a date — the download link expires, which is delivery rather than licensing; see How buying works.

Three things end it. It ends if you breach it; if you validly withdraw from the purchase; or if we refund you because the files were faulty. In each case you must stop using the files and delete your copies — you cannot keep using something you have had your money back for. The detail of how each of those works is in the Terms & Conditions and on Refunds & Withdrawal.

The licence is personal to you and not transferable, with one exception. You cannot sell it, lend it, give it away or pass it to another person or business. If someone else needs a licence of their own, they buy one. The exception: if the entire business that bought the licence is sold, merged or reorganised, the licence moves with the business to its new owner. It cannot be split off and sold separately.

Where the extended tier lets you hand an adapted file to a client as part of paid work, that is a permission given to you. It does not transfer your licence to the client, and it does not give them the right to pass the file on again, publish it or sell it.

What you make with the files is yours. A proposal you have filled in, a deck with your content in it, a spreadsheet holding your numbers, a document produced by running one of the prompt systems — we claim nothing in any of it, at any tier, and you need no permission to publish, send or sell that output.

You may keep copies and backups on machines you control, and you may edit, adapt, translate, restructure and combine the files with your own material.

No attribution is required. You do not have to credit DigitalSkylight anywhere, and you may remove any "made with" note we included.

No file here is DRM-protected or password-locked. There is no technical restriction on what you can do with a file, which means these terms are what stands between correct use and misuse.

Never permitted, at any tier

These apply to every product on the site, whatever the tier says:

No resale of the file itself, edited or unedited, whole or in part, at any price including zero.
No redistribution. Do not upload the files to template marketplaces, asset libraries, prompt directories, Notion or Figma community listings, file-sharing sites, torrent sites, Discord servers, public repositories or anywhere else they can be obtained by someone who has not bought them.
No competing product. Do not use a file, or a recognisable adaptation of one, as the basis of a template, kit, prompt library or course that you sell or give away.
No sharing of your download link. It is tied to your order.
No use of the files as training data. Do not use the files, or substantial parts of them, to train, fine-tune or evaluate a machine-learning model, and do not add them to a corpus or dataset that will be used for that. Using an AI tool on your own working copy — to help you fill a template in, rewrite a section, or adapt a prompt — is fine and is not what this restriction is about.
No claiming authorship of the underlying file as a work of yours.

None of that touches your rights if a file is faulty. The list above restricts what you may do with a working file. It takes nothing away from the statutory rights you have if a file turns out to be corrupt, incomplete, unopenable, not what the product page described, or incompatible with the software the page said it works with. Those rights last two years from delivery, they cannot be signed away, and they are set out on Refunds & Withdrawal.

If you are unsure whether something is covered, ask before doing it: support@digitalskylight.com. A short email is cheaper than a dispute for both of us.

Personal

For one person, using the file for their own purposes.

You may

Use the file for your own projects, your own studies, your own job search and your own household or personal administration.
Use it inside your own work as an individual — planning, tracking, drafting, note-taking — where the output is for you rather than delivered to a paying client.
Edit and adapt it as much as you like, and keep your edited version indefinitely.
Use the output commercially. Anything you produce with the file is yours (see the section above); the personal tier limits who may use the file, not what you may do with what comes out of it.

You may not

Share the file with anyone else, including colleagues, family or a team workspace where others can access it.
Use it to produce deliverables for paying clients, or as part of a service you charge for. That is what the commercial tier is for.
Put it in a company workspace, a shared drive or a team Notion space where more than one person can open it.
Anything in the "never permitted" list above.

One person means one person. If a second person needs to work in the file, the licence needed is commercial or extended, not two copies of personal.

Commercial

For one business — the buyer and the people working in it.

You may

Use the file in and for one business: your own company, your practice as a freelancer or sole trader, or the employer that bought it.
Give access to employees and contractors of that business who need it for their work on that business, including in a shared workspace or team drive.
Use it to produce work you are paid for — proposals, decks, reports, SOPs, spreadsheets, prompt outputs — and deliver that finished work to your clients.
Deliver the output to a client as part of an engagement, including a filled-in document that ends up in the client's possession.
Adapt it to your own brand and keep the adapted version as your standard internal file.

You may not

Hand the client the underlying file, template or blank structure for their own reuse. Delivering a completed document is use; delivering the empty template is redistribution. If handing over reusable source files is the point of your work, you need the extended tier.
Use one purchase across several unrelated businesses. A licence covers one business; an agency's own operations count as one business, and each client's operations do not.
Resell, sublicense or publish the file, in any form. See the "never permitted" list above.
Present the file as your own product, template or kit.

How many people it covers. One purchase covers everyone working in the business that bought it — employees and contractors alike — when they are working on that business's own projects. There is no headcount limit and no per-seat charge.

Extended

For work where the file itself, or a version of it, is handed on.

You may

Everything in the commercial tier.
Deliver an adapted version of the file to a client as a working file they can keep and reuse, as part of paid work you have done for them — a set-up, an implementation, a systems build, a rebrand.
Use the file across the several client businesses you work with, rather than only inside your own.
Set up the file inside a client's workspace (a Notion space, a Drive, a Figma team) and leave it there.

You may not

Give or sell the file to anyone who has not engaged you for the work it forms part of. The client receives it as part of the work, not as a download.
Publish it, list it, or make it available for others to obtain independently of your work — including in a marketplace, a community gallery, or a public template library.
Use it as a product you sell repeatedly in place of doing the work: a file handed to twenty clients as the deliverable, without adaptation, is resale in another wrapper.
Anything in the "never permitted" list above.

A practical line: if the client is paying you for work and the file arrives as part of that work, extended covers it. If the file is what they are paying for, it does not.

Third-party components inside the files

We cannot grant rights we do not hold. Where a product contains a font, icon set, photograph, illustration or piece of code created by someone else, that component is named on the product page together with its own licence, and your use of it is governed by that licence rather than by this page. The same applies to anything a product page describes as "linked" or "not included" — you obtain it from its supplier on their terms.

If a product page names no third-party component, everything in that product is ours to license.

If the licence on your product page and this page disagree

This page governs. A product page carries a one-line summary of its tier for convenience; where the summary and this text differ, the text here is the licence.

How this page fits with the Terms

This licence forms part of the Terms & Conditions, which are the contract for the purchase as a whole. Everything not dealt with here is dealt with there: how an order is made, delivery and download links, what happens if a file is faulty, what each of us is responsible for, how to complain, and how a dispute is resolved — including the ADR body you can go to.

The two are written to agree. If they ever do not: on what you may and may not do with the files, this page governs; on anything else, the Terms govern. Either way, tell us — support@digitalskylight.com — because a contradiction between the two is our mistake to correct.

Asking about a use this page doesn't cover

Team sizes, unusual client arrangements, use inside a product you are building, an enterprise buying for several departments — none of these fit a three-tier list neatly, and none of them are refused by default. Email support@digitalskylight.com describing what you want to do with the file. A written answer from us is what makes it permitted.
