Terms & Conditions

Updated June 10, 2025

The Lilypad is home to a collective of independent designers, each with their own artistic voice—and their own Terms of Use. This page outlines the general site-wide policies for product usage as well as community rules for participating in our forum and gallery.

By registering for and using our community, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the forum.

Product Usage & Licensing

Personal Use

Unless otherwise stated, all products purchased at The Lilypad are for personal use only and are intended for use by the individual customer who made the purchase.

You may:

• Use products in your own scrapbook pages or hybrid projects (including printed works).
• Post your layouts online or on social media (credit is appreciated but not required).
• Submit your work to galleries, magazines, or other publications (please credit the designer if possible).
• Back up your files to your own personal storage or external hard drive.
• Use the products across multiple devices that belong to you.

You may not:

• Create templates, quick pages, or other redistributable files based on the original work.
• Share, distribute, or resell any part of the product—whether in whole or in part.
• Upload files or zip folders to file-sharing sites, Google Drive, Dropbox, or similar platforms for others to access.
• Share download links with others (even if they’re fellow scrappers—please send them to the store instead!).
• Alter and claim the work as your own.

Commercial Use (CU)

Some products at The Lilypad are available for Commercial Use (CU), typically allowing usage in other digital kits, creative projects, or client work with proper modification and adherence to the designer’s terms.

• Commercial Use never includes reselling items “as is.”
• Use in a broader product for resale must include meaningful modification or incorporation into a larger design.
• Scrap-for-Hire and Scrap-for-Others (S4H/S4O) is not universally permitted. Please check the designer’s TOU for details and permission.

If you’re unsure if your intended use qualifies, it’s always best to ask.
