Community Guidelines

Only upload your own Designs, your own projects or work. If you are going to upload work on behalf of others; don’t. Anyone who uploads a work must create an account themselves. You cannot create account for your boss, your manager or your company unless you have been given written permissions to do so; remember that you would be liable for damages, issues and errors, so having a written document will help you.

Even when you have been given right to create an account for your employer, your boss or a team-member, you must still have all the legal rights and permissions to enter into our Terms and Agreements which requires you to give us a special license as noted in Terms and Agreements.

Never ever upload any Design that includes third-party materials, never ever upload other’s works or properties. Always have necessary licenses such as model release agreements, royalty-free image agreements etc. beforehand uploading any project; you will be responsible for your uploads.

Don’t upload any work that would not be socially appropriate, for all audiences; if you cannot show your work to your neighbor’s kids without consequences, don’t upload such work. Don’t upload NSFW (Not Suitable For Work) material. Do not upload Designs that are inherently disrespectful, aggressive, or otherwise abusive.

Don’t upload copy-cat projects, even if they are not infringing any laws; upload original work only. Do not upload projects that are “in-progress” or “incomplete”; always aim to upload finished, final projects and designs, avoid uploading unfinished work.

Never upload any work you wish to register or apply a patent for. Never upload any of your company trade-secrets.

Report all projects that infringe or violate others’ rights.
