Downloadable Digital Products Terms and Conditions:

Commercial Use License (updated February 2026)

1.0 Introduction

This Commercial Use License is not automatically included with purchases made through our website.
Customers must request and receive written approval from Savi Made before any commercial use is permitted.
These Terms and Conditions set out the terms and conditions between you, the customer, and Savi Made (“us”, “we”), governing the licensing and use of downloadable digital products provided by Savi Made, including but not limited to 3D printable files and related content (the “Products”).

This agreement applies only where the Products are supplied pursuant to a written Commercial Use License, invoice, or other written agreement issued by Savi Made.
Use of the Products for commercial purposes without such authorization is strictly prohibited.
Where a Commercial Use License has been granted, use of the Products constitutes acceptance of these Terms and Conditions.

1.1 Definitions

For the purposes of these Terms and Conditions, the following definitions apply:

“Customer”, “you”, or “your” means the individual or legal entity purchasing or otherwise accessing the Products. Where the Customer is a legal entity, this agreement applies to that entity and its authorized employees, contractors, volunteers, or agents acting within the scope of their duties for the Customer.

“Legal Entity” means any organization or body that has a legal identity separate from its individual members, including but not limited to corporations, partnerships, sole proprietorships, non-profit organizations, educational institutions, research institutions, governmental bodies, and other incorporated or unincorporated organizations.

“Products” means any downloadable digital files made available by Savi Made, including but not limited to 3D printable files (such as .stl files), preview images, renders, documentation, and any associated content.

“Digital Files” means the Products in their original digital form, whether downloaded, accessed, stored, or modified.

“Physical Prints” means tangible, three-dimensional objects produced by 3D printing or similar manufacturing processes using the Products. For the purposes of volume calculation, one Physical Print is defined as one complete finished object, regardless of:

  • The number of separate pieces or components printed to create the finished object
  • The manufacturing method used (including but not limited to FDM, SLA, SLS, CNC machining, molding, casting, or any hybrid process)
  • The scale or size of the finished object
  • Whether the Product files are used directly or as an intermediary step in the manufacturing process (such as creating molds, forms, or tooling)
  • Whether the object is produced from the original Product or from Modified or Derivative versions

Where only a portion or component of the Product is manufactured (such as printing only the head from a complete animal model), each such partial reproduction constitutes one Physical Print for the purposes of Volume calculation.

“Modified” or “Derivative” means any alteration, adaptation, remix, modification, or transformation of the Products, whether in whole or in part, including changes to geometry, scale, format, resolution, or structure.

“Commercial Use” means the sale, distribution, or transfer of Physical Prints for monetary or other consideration.

“Attribution” means clear and reasonably visible credit identifying Savi Made and Lincoln Savi as the original sculptor of the Products, in accordance with Section 2.1.

“Volume” means the total number of Physical Prints produced using a specific Product, whether produced directly by the Customer or on the Customer’s behalf, regardless of method, location, or timeframe.

“Volume Limit” means the maximum number of Physical Prints permitted to be produced from a specific Product, as specified in the Declaration of Acceptance section of this agreement.

2.0 License and Use

Your purchase of one of our Products constitutes our granting to you of a non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, non-transferable license to download, access, and 3D print that Product for the purpose of accessing, storing, and using the Product in accordance with this agreement (the “purpose”). In addition, we also grant you the right to sell and/or distribute physical prints of our Products, provided that you do not sell or distribute the Digital Files or modified or derivative versions of the files. This license pertains solely to the Products purchased by the customer and does not extend to any other files or Products offered by Savi Made. Where the Customer is a legal entity, this license extends to internal use in accordance with Section 2.4. This agreement supersedes and replaces any standard personal-use or default license terms that may otherwise apply to the Products.

You agree that you shall not use, or permit to be used, any Products other than for the aforesaid purposes. For the avoidance of doubt, you shall not copy, re-sell, sublicense, rent out, share or otherwise distribute any of our Products, whether modified or not, to any third party. You agree not to use any of our Products in a way which might be detrimental to us or damage our reputation.

As a courtesy we provide a reusable download link to download our Products after you purchase them directly from our website. However, we retain the right to remove Digital Files from our store, including this download link. Therefore, it is your responsibility to download the Products immediately after purchase.

2.1 Attribution Requirement

When displaying Physical Prints of any of our 3D models in public settings, or displaying digital representations of any of our 3D models publicly, the Customer must attribute Savi Made as the original sculptor of the model.

For public displays, presentations, or written content, at minimum, the following text should be included:

“[Insert species here] model sculpted by Lincoln Savi of Savi Made (savimade.ca)”

The link to our website should be an active hyperlink if the platform allows it.

For social media posts (Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, etc.), the Customer may instead fulfill the attribution requirement by:

  • Tagging the official Savi Made account for that platform in the post or caption, AND
  • Mentioning Savi Made in the caption or description

For a complete and up-to-date list of official Savi Made social media accounts and handles, please visit savimade.ca/social or contact us at team@savimade.ca.

More promotional media such as the Savi Made logo is available upon request. We take great pride in our work and want to ensure that our contributions to the 3D printing community are acknowledged. Thank you for your cooperation in complying with this requirement.

2.1.1 Research and Academic Citation

The Commercial Use License includes the right to use the Products for research, academic, educational, or institutional purposes, including but not limited to scientific research, museum exhibitions, educational demonstrations, academic publications, and scholarly presentations.

When the Products or Physical Prints are used in any research publication, academic paper, thesis, dissertation, conference presentation, poster, museum exhibition label, educational material, or other scholarly work, the Customer must appropriately reference Savi Made in accordance with standard academic citation practices.

For examples of how other researchers and institutions have referenced Savi Made in their work, please visit https://savimade.ca/publications/

We encourage researchers to share their published work with us at team@savimade.ca, as we take great pride in contributing to scientific and educational advancement.

2.2 Commercial Use Limitations

The license granted under this agreement permits the Customer to manufacture and sell Physical Prints solely as finished physical objects produced by or for the Customer.

The Customer may engage third-party manufacturers, print-on-demand services, manufacturing partners, or production facilities to produce Physical Prints on the Customer’s behalf, provided that all of the following conditions are met:

  • The Customer retains full responsibility for ensuring compliance with all terms of this agreement
  • The Customer implements reasonable security measures to prevent unauthorized access to, copying of, or distribution of the Products and Digital Files by any such third party
  • The Customer ensures that any such third party uses the Products solely for the purpose of manufacturing Physical Prints on behalf of the Customer
  • The Customer ensures that all copies of the Products and Digital Files are returned to the Customer or permanently destroyed by the third party upon completion of the manufacturing services
  • The Customer remains liable for any breach of this agreement by the third party as if the breach were committed by the Customer itself

The Customer may not sublicense, assign, or otherwise authorize any third party to sell, distribute, or use the Products beyond the limited purpose of manufacturing Physical Prints on behalf of the Customer.

This license does not permit the Customer to distribute, wholesale, or supply Physical Prints to third parties for resale under their own branding or distribution channels unless explicitly authorized in writing by Savi Made.

Nothing in this agreement shall be construed as granting the Customer ownership of the Products or any rights beyond those expressly stated herein.

2.3 Prohibited Use – Artificial Intelligence and Automation

The Products may not be used, in whole or in part, for the purpose of training, developing, testing, or improving any artificial intelligence systems, machine learning models, neural networks, generative systems, datasets, or automated content generation tools.

The Products may not be included in any dataset, library, or repository intended for algorithmic analysis, procedural generation, or automated reproduction, whether commercial or non-commercial, without the prior written consent of Savi Made.

2.4 Organizational Use and Internal Access

Where the Customer is a legal entity, the license granted under this agreement permits internal use of the Products by the Customer’s authorized employees, contractors, volunteers, or agents solely for purposes directly related to the Customer’s internal operations, education, research, exhibition, or commercial activities, and subject at all times to the limitations set out in this agreement.

The Customer shall ensure that access to the Products is limited to individuals within the organization who require such access for authorized purposes and that the Products are not distributed, shared, or made available outside the organization.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Products may not be copied, shared, or transferred for personal use by individuals associated with the Customer, including but not limited to use at home, personal devices, or personal commercial ventures unrelated to the Customer.

The Customer is responsible for ensuring compliance with this agreement by all individuals granted access to the Products under this section and shall be liable for any breach by such individuals as if the breach were committed by the Customer itself.

2.5 Internal Copy Control

The Customer may store the Products on internal servers or systems solely for internal access by authorized users, provided that reasonable technical and administrative measures are implemented to prevent unauthorized copying, external sharing, or public access to the Products.

2.6 Volume-Based Limitation

Unless otherwise expressly agreed to in writing by Savi Made, the license granted under this agreement permits the production and sale of Physical Prints up to the Volume Limit specified for each Product in the Declaration of Acceptance section of this agreement. This volume limit applies cumulatively across all uses by the Customer, including all authorized employees, contractors, volunteers, or agents where the Customer is a legal entity.

Where no Volume Limit is specified for a Product in the Declaration of Acceptance, the default Volume Limit shall be 100 Physical Prints per Product.

Once the Volume Limit has been reached, the Customer must cease production and sale of Physical Prints derived from the applicable Product unless an extended or additional license is obtained from Savi Made.

Production of Physical Prints in excess of the permitted Volume Limit without written authorization shall constitute a material breach of this agreement and shall result in immediate termination of the license.

2.7 Volume Tracking

The Customer agrees to make reasonable efforts to track the number of Physical Prints produced using the Products and to ensure compliance with the applicable volume limits. Upon reasonable request, the Customer shall provide written confirmation of compliance with this section.

2.8 Special Terms and Overrides

Any modifications, extensions, or exceptions to the license granted under this agreement, including but not limited to volume limits, permitted uses, or manufacturing arrangements, must be expressly agreed to in writing by Savi Made. In the event of a conflict between this agreement and any written special terms agreed to by Savi Made, the written special terms shall prevail solely with respect to the applicable Products.

2.9 In-Progress and Review Materials

Under some circumstances, Savi Made may provide the Customer with draft, preliminary, incomplete, or in-progress versions of the Products, including but not limited to prototype files, work-in-progress models, or review renders (“Review Materials”), for the sole purpose of internal evaluation, feedback, and design approval.

The Customer is granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and non-sublicensable license to access and view the Review Materials solely for internal review and acceptance purposes. If the Customer is a Legal Entity, this license may be exercised only by the Customer and by those employees, officers, contractors, consultants, or advisors who are acting on the Customer’s behalf and who are directly involved in the evaluation and approval process (collectively, “Authorized Review Users”).

The Review Materials may not be used for production, manufacturing, distribution, commercial exploitation, or any purpose other than providing feedback to Savi Made. Approval of Review Materials does not grant the Customer any rights to use the Review Materials beyond those expressly stated in this section.

The Customer shall not copy, reproduce, distribute, share, or otherwise make the Review Materials available to any third party other than Authorized Review Users. The Customer shall ensure that all Authorized Review Users comply with the terms and limitations of this section.

All intellectual property rights in and to the Review Materials, including any modifications or derivative works thereof, shall remain the sole and exclusive property of Savi Made. The Customer acknowledges that Review Materials are provided “as is” and may be incomplete, inaccurate, or subject to change.

The license granted under this section shall automatically terminate upon delivery of the final approved Product or upon written request by Savi Made, at which time the Customer shall promptly delete or destroy all copies of the Review Materials in its possession or control.

3.0 Intellectual Property

The Products, whether modified or not, and all intellectual property and copyright contained therein, are and shall at all times remain our sole and exclusive property. You agree that under no circumstances, whether the Product has been modified or not, shall you have or attempt to claim ownership of any intellectual property rights or copyright in the Product.

4.0 Refunds and Chargebacks

Due to the digital nature of the Products and the immediate access granted upon purchase, all sales are final. No refunds, exchanges, or cancellations will be provided once a Product has been purchased, except where required by applicable Canadian consumer protection laws or where expressly agreed to in writing by Savi Made at its sole discretion.

The Customer acknowledges that access to the Products constitutes delivery and fulfillment of the order. By completing a purchase, the Customer waives any right to dispute or reverse payment on the basis of non-delivery.

The Customer agrees not to initiate any chargebacks or payment disputes through their payment provider without first contacting Savi Made to attempt to resolve the matter in good faith. Unauthorized or abusive chargebacks may result in termination of the license granted under this agreement and revocation of access to the Products.

Savi Made reserves the right to modify pricing for Products at any time without prior notice.

5.0 Warranties and Liability

We make every effort to ensure that our Products are accurate and fit for the use of our customers. However, we take no responsibility whatsoever for the suitability of the product, and we provide no warranties as to the function or use of the product, whether express, implied or statutory, including without limitation any warranties of fitness for particular purpose. You agree to indemnify us against all liabilities, claims, demands, expenses, actions, costs, damages, or loss arising out of your breach of these terms and conditions. Furthermore, we shall not be liable to you or any party for consequential, indirect, special or exemplary damages including but not limited to damages for loss of profits, business or anticipated benefits whether arising under tort, contract, negligence or otherwise whether or not foreseen, reasonably foreseeable or advised of the possibility of such damages.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Savi Made’s total cumulative liability to the Customer for any and all claims arising out of or relating to the Products or this agreement shall not exceed the total amount paid by the Customer for the specific Product giving rise to the claim.

6.0 Termination of Contract

This contract will automatically terminate without notice from us if you fail to comply with any of its terms and conditions. Upon termination of the contract, you shall immediately cease all use of the Digital Files and destroy all copies of the Digital Files in your possession.

If you wish to terminate the contract and discontinue using our Digital Files, you may do so by removing all copies of our Digital Files from devices under your control. Once all copies have been removed and destroyed, the contract will be considered terminated.

Please note that any termination of the contract will not affect any rights or remedies we may have under applicable laws

6.1 Survival

Sections relating to intellectual property ownership, attribution requirements, warranties and liability, limitation of liability, indemnification, governing law, and any provisions which by their nature should survive termination shall survive any termination or expiration of this agreement.

7.0 General

These terms and conditions constitute the entire agreement and understanding between you and us for the supply of downloadable digital Products, and shall supersede any prior agreements whether made in writing, orally, implied or otherwise. The failure by us to exercise or enforce any right(s) under these terms and conditions shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any such right(s) or operate so as to bar the exercise or enforcement thereof at any time(s) thereafter, as a waiver of another or constitute a continuing waiver. You agree that monetary damages may not be a sufficient remedy for the damage which may accrue to us by reason of your breach of these terms and conditions, therefore we shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief to enforce the obligations contained herein. The unenforceability of any single provision within these terms and conditions shall not affect any other provision hereof. These terms and conditions, your acceptance thereof, and our relationship with you shall be governed by and construed in accordance with Canadian law and both us and you irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Canadian courts over any claim, dispute or matter arising under or in connection with these terms and conditions or our relationship with you.

No rights or licenses are granted to the Customer except as expressly stated in this agreement. All rights not expressly granted are reserved by Savi Made.

7.1 Force Majeure

Savi Made shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performance arising from causes beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, internet outages, hosting failures, technical malfunctions, payment processor disruptions, or governmental actions. In such circumstances, performance shall be deemed suspended for the duration of the event.

7.2 Assignment

The Customer may not assign, transfer, or otherwise convey this agreement or any rights granted herein, whether by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of Savi Made. Any attempted assignment in violation of this section shall be null and void.
