Squarespace Templates

SQUARESPACE

SIAN RICHARDSON is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Squarespace.

The Squarespace Templates are designed to be used for Squarespace websites, but SIAN RICHARDSON is not responsible for any updates or changes Squarespace chooses to make with their platform.

LICENSING

SQUARESPACE TEMPLATE LICENSING

One purchase = one license (aka one website). You can use the templates for client websites, but for every website you use it on you must make another purchase. You may not re-use, re-sell, or re-distribute any of the designs, content, or templates.

Any and all stock photography, videography and other resources used in the demo websites and designs of any templates remain property of the original creator, and you are required to acquire your own license for these.

All copyrights to elements, graphics, and designs are retained by SIAN RICHARDSON with all rights reserved. No other use is hereby authorized.

THE STASH LICENSING

There are two options for purchasing The Stash, depending on how you are going to be using it within your business. 

01 — Personal/Internal Business License 

This is for you if you only plan on using The Stash for personal use, and for internal business projects, such as on client projects. You can NOT use this license if you are going to be using The Stash to build your own Squarespace templates for re-sale. 

Under this license, you can —

  • Use the designs to create websites for your own business — from full websites, to sales pages, to anything else you can dream up (unlimited license)

  • Use the designs to create websites for your clients (unlimited license)

  • Use the designs as you need to for either of the above, without the need for crediting 

Under this license, you cannot —

  • Use the designs within The Stash for re-sale of any kind, including to create your own Squarespace templates

  • Use the designs within The Stash for re-sale, to create your own template library similar to The Stash

  • Share The Stash with anyone who has not purchased it (other than a business partner)

02 — Re-Sale License 

This license lets you do everything on the Personal/Internal Business License, with the addition of being allowed to use the templates inside The Stash for re-sale. This means you are good to go to create your own Squarespace templates from these designs. 

You must edit the designs within The Stash if you are going to be re-selling them as your own Squarespace templates — you can not just re-sell The Stash as it exists. ‘Editing’ is defined as building out various website pages (as opposed to just selling single section templates, as they exist in The Stash), changing the fonts, colours, and images, and replacing the placeholder text.

Under this license, you can —

  • Use the designs to create websites for your own business — from full websites, to sales pages, to anything else you can dream up (unlimited license)

  • Use the designs to create websites for your clients (unlimited license)

  • Use the designs as you need to for either of the above, without the need for crediting 

  • Use the designs within The Stash for re-sale of any kind, including to create your own Squarespace templates

Under this license, you cannot —

  • Use the designs within The Stash to create your own template library similar to The Stash

  • Share The Stash with anyone who has not purchased it (other than a business partner)

THE STASH EDITABLE ADOBE XD FILE LICENSING

The optional add-on Adobe XD EDITABLE file for The Stash has it’s own licensing. If you purchase this file, you agree to the following.

  • You may use the editable Adobe XD Stash designs to create Squarespace websites for your own business — based on the main Stash license you purchased. i.e. If you purchased the Commercial License, you are ONLY licensed to also use the designs from the editable Adobe XD for the same purpose, of building your own websites, or websites for your clients. If you purchased the Extended Commercial LIcense, you are licensed to use the editable Adobe XD file to create your designs for re-sale.

  • You may NOT RE-SELL, or REDISTRIBUTE the editable Adobe XD for The Stash at all. It is created for the purpose of assisting the design process of building websites using The Stash, it is not a resource for you to distribute as you wish.

  • If you want to use the Designs from the editable Adobe XD file for any other platform or website design outside of Squarespace/The Stash, you MUST PURCHASE THE EXTENDED LICENSE for it. Please email me hey@sianrichardson.co for more information.

  • You cannot share the editable Adobe XD file with anyone who has not purchased it (other than a business partner). You also cannot claim the designs as your own.
