Content License Agreement

This Content License Agreement (“Agreement”) governs your use of design components, templates, and other content available through Dossia’s platform. When you use any content provided by Dossia or create content using our Services, you agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement, along with our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.

This Agreement is designed to be clear and approachable. We want you to understand exactly what you can and can’t do with the content on our platform.

1. What This Agreement Covers

This Agreement applies to all content you interact with on Dossia, including the design components, templates, and other creative materials we provide, as well as the content you create and share.

1.1 Definitions

To keep things clear, here’s what we mean by key terms:

Components: The design elements, vector graphics, illustrations, icons, and other visual assets we provide in our component library. These help you build beautiful pages without starting from scratch.

Templates: Pre-designed page layouts created by Dossia or other users. Templates contain pre-arranged Components that you can customize for your own books.

Dossia Content: All Components and Templates created by Dossia and made available in the platform. We own the intellectual property rights to Dossia Content.

User Content: The books, pages, designs, and layouts you create using our Editor. This includes your text, custom layouts, and arrangements of Components. You own your User Content.

Public Templates: Templates that users choose to share publicly with the Dossia community. These are created by users like you and made available for others to use.

Physical Books: The printed, manufactured products we create based on your designs and ship to you.

2. Dossia Content License

We provide amazing Components and Templates to help you create beautiful custom books. Here’s what you can and can’t do with Dossia Content.

2.1 License Grant

When you use Dossia, we grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use Dossia Content (Components and Templates) solely within the Dossia platform to create your custom books. This license is valid as long as your account remains active and you comply with this Agreement.

2.2 What You Can Do

You’re free to use Dossia Content to:

Create personal books: Design custom notebooks, planners, diaries, journals, and other stationery products for your personal use
Arrange and customize: Place Components on pages, resize them, recolor them, and arrange them in your own unique layouts
Use Templates as starting points: Select Templates and customize them to match your style and needs
Order physical products: Order printed Physical Books containing Dossia Content for your personal use
Give as gifts: Gift Physical Books you’ve created to friends and family for personal use
Create multiple books: Use the same Components and Templates in as many different book designs as you like

2.3 Important Restrictions

To protect our intellectual property and maintain a fair platform for everyone, you may not:

Platform Restrictions

Download Components separately: You cannot extract, download, or export Components (SVG files or other design elements) for use outside of Dossia
Use outside Dossia: Dossia Content can only be used within our platform, not in other design tools, software, or applications
Share or redistribute Components: You cannot share, distribute, resell, or sublicense individual Components or collections of Components

Commercial Restrictions

No commercial use of Physical Books: Physical Books containing Dossia Content are for personal use only. You cannot:
- Sell or resell Physical Books as products
- Use Physical Books as promotional materials for a business
- Create Physical Books for commercial clients
- Manufacture Physical Books in bulk for distribution (e.g., selling custom planners to customers)
No competing products: You cannot use Dossia Content to create competing stationery design platforms, template marketplaces, or similar services

Intellectual Property Protection

No claiming ownership: You cannot claim ownership of or exclusive rights to Dossia Components or Templates
No trademark use: You cannot use Dossia Content as part of logos, trademarks, or brand identities
Preserve attribution: Do not remove or alter any copyright notices, watermarks, or proprietary markings on Dossia Content

2.4 What You Own vs. What We Own

It’s important to understand the distinction:

We own: All Components, Dossia-created Templates, and the underlying intellectual property in these design elements. Even when incorporated into your books, we retain all rights to our original Components and Templates.

You own: Your original text, your custom layouts and arrangements, and your creative choices in how you use our Components. You also own the Physical Books we manufacture and deliver to you.

Shared designs: When you create a book using Dossia Components, your book is a derivative work. You own the overall design and can use the Physical Book personally, but the underlying Components remain our property.

3. User-Created Content

3.1 Your Ownership

You retain full ownership of the User Content you create on Dossia. This includes your original text, custom page layouts, design choices, and the overall expression of your books. We claim no ownership over your creative work.

3.2 License You Grant to Dossia

To provide our Services to you, you grant Dossia a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to:

Store and display your User Content within the platform
Generate previews and PDF files of your designs
Manufacture Physical Books based on your designs
Process and fulfill your orders
Provide customer support and troubleshoot issues
Display thumbnail previews of Public Templates you create

This license exists solely to operate the platform and fulfill your orders. We will not use your User Content for any other purpose without your explicit permission.

3.3 Your Responsibilities

When creating User Content, you represent and warrant that:

You own or have the necessary rights to all content you upload or create
Your content does not infringe any third party’s copyright, trademark, or other rights
You have obtained all necessary permissions for any identifiable persons in images
Your content complies with all applicable laws and regulations
Your content does not violate the Prohibited Uses outlined in our Terms of Service (Section 6)

One of the things we love about Dossia is the creative community. Users can share their page designs as Public Templates for others to use and remix.

4.1 Creating Public Templates

You can choose to make your page designs available as Public Templates. When you do this, other Dossia users can discover, preview, and use your Template as a starting point for their own books.

4.2 License for Public Templates

When you mark a Template as public, you grant:

To Dossia:

A worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to display, distribute, and promote your Public Template within the Dossia platform
The right to feature your Template in galleries, promotional materials, or recommendations
The right to create thumbnail previews and screenshots

To Other Dossia Users:

A non-exclusive license to use your Public Template as a starting point for their personal books
The right to customize, modify, and adapt your Template for their own use
The right to create Physical Books based on customized versions of your Template

4.3 Important Limitations on Public Templates

Public Templates can only be used within Dossia. Users cannot:

Export or download Public Templates for use outside the platform
Sell or commercially distribute Public Templates
Claim the Public Template as their own original work
Remove attribution or creator information from Public Templates

4.4 You Retain Ownership

Making a Template public does not transfer ownership to Dossia or other users. You continue to own your original design. You can remove your Public Template from the community library at any time, though users who have already started using it may continue with their customized versions.

4.5 Components in Public Templates

If your Public Template includes Dossia Components, those Components remain subject to the Dossia Content License (Section 2). Users who use your Public Template receive a license to use those Components only through Dossia and only for personal use.

5. Physical Books: Your Rights

Keep your Physical Books indefinitely

5.3 Restrictions on Physical Books

Commercial reproduction: You cannot scan, photocopy, or reproduce Physical Books for commercial distribution
Extract and reuse designs: You cannot scan or photograph Physical Books to extract Dossia Components for use in other products or platforms
