These terms apply to everyone who uses DXF World at dxfworld.com ("the site", "we", "us"). By using the site or creating an account you accept them. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

1. What DXF World is

DXF World is a free library of laser cutting and CNC files (SVG, DXF and other formats), online generators such as the box generator, and guides about laser cutting. Files are made by our team, created with our generators, or published by users.

2. Accounts

• Browsing, searching and the generators work without an account. Downloading files and publishing your own need one.
• You must be 16 or older to create an account.
• Give a real email address and keep your password to yourself. You are responsible for everything done through your account. Tell us at once if you think someone else is using it.
• One person per account. Accounts may not be created by bots or in bulk.

3. Using files from DXF World

• The ornament files made by DXF World are released under CC0 1.0 Universal: you may copy, change, cut, sell physical products made from them and use them commercially, without asking and without credit.
• Files made with our online generators are yours to use for any purpose.
• CC0 covers copyright only. It does not give you rights in trademarks or in the likeness of people, and it is your job to make sure the products you sell do not infringe such rights.
• Please do not re-upload our catalogue in bulk to another file site or marketplace as a competing collection, and do not scrape the site with automated tools beyond normal search engine crawling.

4. Safety

Laser cutters and CNC machines can cause fire, burns and eye injuries. Files are provided "as is". Always check the dimensions, material thickness, kerf and machine settings before cutting, test on scrap material and never leave a running machine unattended. You use files, generator output and our guides at your own risk.

5. Publishing your files

When you publish a file on DXF World:

• You confirm that you created it yourself, or that it is in the public domain, and that publishing it does not break anyone's rights or any law.
• You also allow us to host, copy, convert (for example SVG to DXF), make previews and product photos of, translate the description of, and show the file on the site and in our channels (for example Pinterest), and to keep copies in backups.

You must not upload:

• files copied from other websites, shops or sellers, or traced from someone else's design, without the owner's permission;
• logos, brand names, sports team emblems, cartoon or film characters or other trademarks;
• parts of firearms or other weapons, or anything illegal;
• hateful, violent, sexual or harassing content, or malware.

Every file is reviewed before it is published. We may edit titles, descriptions and categories, decline a file, or remove it later, and we tell you why. You can ask us to remove a file you published at any time.

6. Copyright complaints and reports

If you believe a file on DXF World infringes your copyright or other rights, use the "Report" button on the file page or email [email protected]. Please include:

1. the address of the file page;
2. what work it infringes and proof that you own it or act for the owner;
3. your name and contact details;
4. a statement that you believe in good faith that the use is not authorised, and that the information in your notice is accurate.

We review every notice promptly, usually within a few working days, and remove or disable access to the file where the notice is valid. The person who published the file is told and can respond. Accounts that repeatedly publish infringing files are closed. Sending a knowingly false notice may make you liable for damages.

7. Acceptable use

Do not attack, overload or try to break into the site, bypass the sign-in for downloads, create fake accounts, misuse the report button, or use the site to send spam. We may limit, suspend or close accounts that break these terms or the law, and remove any content, with or without notice where the situation requires it.

8. No warranty

The site, the files, the generators and the guides are provided "as is" and "as available". We do not promise that they are error-free, fit for a particular purpose, or always available, and we may change or stop any part of the site at any time.

9. Limitation of liability

To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential damages, lost profits, or damaged material, machines or products resulting from the use of the site or its files. Because the site is free, our total liability for any claim is limited to 100 US dollars. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, such as liability for intent, gross negligence or injury to life and health, and nothing here takes away the mandatory consumer rights of the country you live in.

10. Privacy

How we handle personal data is explained in our Privacy Policy.

11. Changes

We may update these terms, for example when we add features. The date at the top shows the latest version. If a change materially affects your rights, we announce it on the site or by email before it takes effect. Continuing to use the site after that means you accept the new terms.

12. General

If any part of these terms is found invalid, the rest stays in force. If we do not enforce a rule straight away, we do not give up the right to enforce it later. These terms are the whole agreement between you and us about the site.
