Terms & licence
Last updated 31 October 2026
Thank you for using an Aptus pattern. Before you begin, please read the recommendations and instructions included with your download — they cover printing at true scale, which is where most problems start.
These patterns are intended for individual leathercrafters.
What you may do
Make and sell
You may create unlimited physical leather items from this pattern, for your own use or for sale. No royalty, no reporting, no permission needed.
Share your work
If you post something you made from one of these patterns, a tag or mention is always welcome (@aptuspatterns) — it genuinely helps. It is entirely optional, and there is no expectation of credit on items you list for sale.
What you may not do
Pass on the pattern itself
You may not resell, redistribute, sub-license or share the pattern file, in whole or in part, digitally or printed.
Produce tools or templates from it
You may not manufacture, sell or distribute acrylic templates, paper or cardboard pattern packs, clicker dies, vector files, or any secondary tooling derived from this pattern.
If you want to make templates or dies for a workshop, write to hello@aptuspatterns.com — a separate licence can be arranged.
Team or mass production
A one-person business is covered under “Make and sell” above — you may make and sell items on your own without restriction. This licence is for individual makers, though, so once a team, multiple makers, or mass production get involved, items produced that way may not be sold under it — a separate licence can be arranged.
Ownership
The pattern and its design remain the exclusive intellectual property of Zsombor Badics, trading as Aptus Patterns. Buying a pattern buys you the licence described above, not the design.
Versions and corrections
Every sheet carries a version stamp in its header. When a correction is published, the updated files replace the originals. For as long as the pattern is in the shop, you can get the current version at no cost: write to me with your order email or your Link receipt and you get a fresh download link. If you find an error, please tell me — it gets fixed and credited.
Liability
Leatherwork involves sharp tools. Please work carefully and at your own risk.
Patterns are provided as is. Every sheet is cross-checked before release, but no guarantee is made of fitness for any particular project, material or outcome. Always verify the printed scale before cutting leather.
To the extent the law allows, my liability is limited to the price you paid for the pattern. This does not limit liability for intent, gross negligence or harm to life, body or health, or your rights as a consumer.
Delivery
After payment, your download link appears on the confirmation page and arrives by email. It works for 30 days — save the files on your computer. If you need a new link, write to me.
Refunds & support
Refunds are handled by Link under the Sold through Link Terms. If you are a consumer in the EU or the UK, you ask for immediate delivery at checkout and confirm that your 14-day right of withdrawal ends once the files are available to download.
If something is wrong with your files — a bad download, the wrong spacing, a geometry error — write to me and it will be sorted out. That is not a refund policy loophole; it is the actual intent.
Who you are buying from
Patterns are sold through Link, Stripe's merchant of record. Link is the seller on your receipt and invoice and handles payment, tax and billing questions; your card statement shows Link. Aptus Patterns grants the licence described here and delivers the files. Questions about the files can come straight to me.
Countries
Some countries can't be served yet, because the tax administration there isn't covered by our checkout partner. If that is your case, I'd still like to hear from you at hello@aptuspatterns.com.
Law
This licence is governed by Hungarian law. If you are a consumer, you keep the protection of the mandatory consumer law of your country.
