You may, of course, download or print out Faux Grain materials for your personal reference use.  

However, the license to produce or make the craft projects which are offered as for- sale patterns or plans is granted only through the purchase of the pattern or plan in question.

Any reproduction of any material contained in this site for purposes of re-distribution in any form, whether for profit or not, is strictly forbidden.

Any representation of Faux Grain's materials as belonging to or originating from any other source or person is strictly forbidden.


Plans & Patterns:

Copyright of Faux Grain patterns and plans remains with Faux Grain at all times.

When you purchase a Faux Grain pattern or plan, you receive license to copy or reproduce the pattern as required for the purpose of making the project or any variation of it.  You are licensed to give away or sell the projects you make from Faux Grain patterns and designs, but not for *mass-production* as explained below. This applies whether the project is being used for personal benefit, profit, or education.

Licenses may not be given away or transferred, except where the original purchaser simultaneously relinquishes the license, such as occurs in the case of giving a plan as a gift.

Reproducing the pattern materials themselves (or any part) to profit directly from re-selling the pattern, or to promote any item is forbidden.

Patterns and plans are NOT licensed for mass production.


This is the licensing statement that comes *included* on Faux Grain patterns and plans, including e-fg-zine patterns:

Licensing:  The purchaser of this pattern packet is licensed to use these materials in any way, including any means of reproduction, for the purposes of making this project or any variation of it, whether for pleasure, profit, or education.  However, reproduction by any means of the whole or any part of these materials for the purpose of resale of this pattern or part thereof is strictly prohibited.  Use of part or all of these pattern materials for the purpose of promoting the sale of projects created from this pattern is also prohibited.

Not licensed for mass production.

Some examples...

If you are a small business crafter or woodworker who sells your creations at craft fairs or similar venues, you may produce our projects to sell if you have received them as free projects as a subscriber to e-fg-zine, or if you have purchased the pattern or plan from Faux Grain.  

If, however, your business could in any way be considered a *factory* that produces items on a mass basis, free projects and paid patterns or plans are not licensed for such use.  Faux Grain patterns and plans are not licenced for *mass production.* If you are unsure, please contact Faux Grain.

If you are a teacher, you may use the patterns or plans for teaching purposes in a single class.  By contrast, you may not distribute the patterns or plans to an entire school or school board.  

The common sense rule of thumb is the word *mass.*  If the word *mass* could be applied to what you would like to do with the project, then don't.  Contact Faux Grain if you are unsure or have questions.
