Terms and Conditions for Print Minis

Summary

Our STL files are licensed for personal use only on the Ground Breaker and Colony Builder tiers, and on the Trade Maker tier you are able to sell your printed versions of our miniatures, NOT the digital STL files, for as long as you are subscribed. 

You cannot edit any of the STL files and use those assets in your own creations, whether give them away, or sell them as they still remain our copyrighted property. 

By signing up to our Patreon and downloading our STL files, you are agreeing to these terms. This document is a legal agreement between “you” (the Licensee) and us, “Print Minis” “we” (the Licensors). 

If you don’t agree to these terms, please do not purchase, download, access or use any Print Minis STLs. 

Selling STLs as Print Minis is how we make money as a small business, and we just want to protect that. We hope you enjoy our miniatures and would like to sincerely thank you for your support 🙂
