1. What This Document Is
1.1 These Model License Terms define what you may do with 3D models obtained through MyMiniStudio: free models we bundle, and marketplace models you license. They are part of the Terms of Service and are issued by HobbyAspirations Ltd. Every marketplace purchase is a license under these terms, in the class shown on the listing.
2. Definitions
2.1 “Model”: a 3D model distributed through the Service, including its geometry, textures, previews, and metadata. “Artist”: the creator or rights holder who offers a Model. “Painted Work”: the paint layers, basing, posing, and project data you create on a Model in the Service; “Render”: an image or video of a Model or Painted Work produced in or from the Service.
3. Ownership
3.1 Models are licensed, not sold. The Artist keeps all ownership of the Model. Nothing in a purchase transfers copyright or any other ownership to you.
3.2 Your Painted Work is yours. The paint data you create belongs to you, and nothing in these terms gives the Artist or the Company ownership of it. What you may do with the combination of your Painted Work and the Artist's Model is defined by your license class below.
4. Paint License
4.1 A Paint License grants you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to: download the Model into the Service's protected storage on your devices; and load, assemble, undercoat, paint, base, and photograph it within the Service, on any platform where you sign in to your account.
4.2 A Paint License does not include export. You may not: export, extract, copy out, or otherwise obtain the Model's geometry in any form; circumvent or attempt to circumvent the encryption or protection around delivered content; share the delivered content or your account to give others access; or use the Model commercially.
5. Paint and Print License
5.1 A Paint and Print License includes everything in the Paint License, plus the right to export print files of the Model (including with your Painted Work applied, where the feature supports it) and to 3D print it for personal use. There is no limit on the number of personal prints.
5.2 A Paint and Print License does not include distribution or commerce. You may not: share, sell, publish, or give away exported files in any form; sell, rent, or commercially distribute physical prints, painted or unpainted; or use prints as commercial products, promotional goods, or rewards. Selling physical prints requires a separate commercial arrangement with the Artist, where the Artist offers one.
5.3 Exported files and delivered content carry buyer-specific identification so that leaked copies can be traced to the account that exported them. By exporting, you accept this marking. Do not share your exports, even privately: you are accountable for copies traced to your account.
6. Renders and Sharing Your Painted Work
6.1 You may publicly share Renders of your Painted Work (social media, portfolios, communities, streams), including where the Model is recognizable. Crediting the Artist is encouraged and, where the sharing feature offers it, automatic.
6.2 You may not sell Renders, use them as or in commercial products, or use them to advertise goods or services, without the Artist's permission. Sharing your painting work is welcome; commercializing the Artist's Model through images of it is not.
7. Free and Bundled Models
7.1 Models we bundle with the free tier are licensed to you under the Paint License terms (Section 4), unless the model's description states otherwise. Rotating free models may leave the free shelf for new users; models you have saved projects with remain usable in those projects.
8. Upgrades
8.1 Where a listing offers it, you may upgrade a Paint License to a Paint and Print License by paying the upgrade price shown. The upgrade applies to your existing licensed copy.
9. Revocation and Availability
9.1 A refund or chargeback revokes the matching license, and the Model becomes unavailable to your account; projects that reference it will show it as unavailable until it is licensed again.
9.2 If a Model must be withdrawn for legal reasons, your purchase is handled under the Refund Policy.
9.3 Licenses are tied to your account and require an account in good standing. Breach of these terms (in particular Sections 4.2, 5.2, and 5.3) can lead to license revocation and account termination under the Terms of Service.
10. Precedence and Artist Terms
10.1 If anything else on the Service's pages appears to conflict with these Model License Terms about what you may do with a Model, these terms govern. A listing may add Artist-specific permissions (never reductions of your rights under the purchased class); any such additions are shown on the listing itself.
