Terms of Service

Last updated: April 21, 2026
In plain English: By using our website or any of our apps, you agree to these terms. Paid apps renew automatically until you cancel, digital downloads are final sale, we provide our products as-is, and California law governs any dispute.

1. Agreement to these terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a legal agreement between you and Made by Maverick LLC, doing business as "Bright Kit Studio" (referred to as "we," "us," or "our"). They govern your access to and use of our website at brightkit.studio and any app, tool, template, or other product we make available, including our Shopify app (free and paid tiers) and the digital templates and downloads we sell on third-party marketplaces such as Etsy (together, the "Products").

By accessing or using any of our Products, you agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Products.

If you are using a Product on behalf of a business or other legal entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity to these Terms, and "you" refers to both you and that entity.

2. Who we are

Made by Maverick LLC is a United States limited liability company operating the Bright Kit Studio brand. You can reach us at hello@brightkitstudio.com.

3. License to use our Products

Subject to these Terms and, where applicable, to your payment of fees, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use our Products for your internal business or personal purposes. This license does not grant you any right to copy, modify, distribute, sell, sublicense, or create derivative works from the Products, except as expressly permitted. Additional license terms that apply specifically to digital templates and downloads are set out in Section 7.

All rights not expressly granted are reserved by us.

4. Acceptable use

When using our Products, you agree not to:

  • Use them in any way that violates any law, regulation, or third-party right.
  • Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code, except to the extent applicable law expressly permits.
  • Interfere with, disrupt, or probe for vulnerabilities in the Products or any related infrastructure, except through a good-faith, coordinated security disclosure to us.
  • Access the Products through automated means in a manner that materially exceeds what is needed for ordinary use, or that circumvents rate limits or access controls.
  • Use the Products to transmit malware, unlawful content, or content that infringes another person's rights.
  • Resell, rent, or commercially exploit the Products except as expressly permitted in writing.
  • Remove or obscure any proprietary notices.

5. Apps on Shopify and other platforms

Some of our Products are distributed through third-party platforms, such as the Shopify App Store. When you install one of our apps on a platform:

  • Your use of the platform itself remains governed by the platform's own terms of service (for example, Shopify's Merchant Terms of Service). Those terms apply in parallel to these Terms.
  • You grant us permission to access the data and APIs necessary for the app to function, based on the scopes you approved at installation.
  • If you uninstall the app, we will stop accessing your store data and will delete or de-identify it as described in our Privacy Policy.
  • Fees (if any) for platform-listed apps are handled by the platform's billing system as described in Section 6.

If there is a conflict between these Terms and a platform's rules specifically governing apps on that platform, the platform's rules control to the extent of the conflict.

6. Payments and subscriptions

Some of our apps include paid tiers (for example, a Pro tier of our Shopify app at a published monthly price). Where an app offers a paid tier, the following applies:

How you pay

Paid tiers of our platform-distributed apps are billed through the platform's managed billing system (for example, Shopify Billing). When you upgrade, you authorize the platform to charge you on our behalf on a recurring basis. We do not receive or store your full payment card details; the platform handles the payment relationship and remits fees to us.

Subscription term and auto-renewal

Paid subscriptions are billed in advance on a recurring monthly basis (or such other interval disclosed at signup) and automatically renew at the end of each billing period at the then-current price until you cancel. You may cancel at any time through the platform (for example, by uninstalling the app or switching back to the free plan in Shopify).

Cancellation and what you keep

When you cancel, your subscription stays active through the end of the billing period you have already paid for, and will not renew. After your paid period ends, paid features will be disabled; where a free tier is available, your account will return to the free tier. We do not provide refunds for past billing periods, partial months, or unused time, except where required by law.

Pricing and trial changes

We may change pricing, introduce or discontinue paid tiers, or adjust the feature set included in a tier. For existing paying subscribers, we will give at least 30 days' advance notice of a price increase before it applies to you, by email, in-app message, or through the platform's billing interface. If you do not agree to the new price, you may cancel before the change takes effect.

Failed payments

If a recurring charge fails, the platform may retry the payment according to its rules. If payment remains unpaid, the platform may suspend or downgrade your subscription, in which case paid features will be disabled until payment is resolved.

Taxes

Unless stated otherwise, prices do not include taxes, duties, or similar charges. You are responsible for any taxes that the platform or we are not already collecting and remitting on your behalf.

7. Digital goods (templates and downloads)

We sell digital templates and other downloadable files through third-party marketplaces such as Etsy. When you purchase a digital good from us:

Checkout and delivery

The marketplace (for example, Etsy) handles your order, processes your payment, and delivers the file. Your transaction is also governed by that marketplace's own terms and purchase-protection policies. We do not receive or store your full payment card details.

License you receive

Unless the listing expressly states otherwise, your purchase grants you a worldwide, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the file for both personal and commercial purposes in your own work. This means, for example, that a store owner may use a template to run their business, and a freelancer may use a template in the course of delivering services to their own clients.

Each purchase is for one buyer. If your team needs to use the file under multiple identities or on behalf of multiple clients, please purchase separate licenses or contact us about a multi-seat arrangement.

What you may not do

You may not:

  • Resell, redistribute, share, or give away the file (whether modified or unmodified), as a standalone product or as part of a bundle.
  • Sublicense the file or grant any third party rights you received from us.
  • Claim authorship of the underlying template or present our work as your own original design.
  • Use the file in any way that violates applicable law or infringes another person's rights.

Final sale; refunds

Digital goods are final sale. Because files are delivered electronically and cannot be returned in any meaningful sense, we do not offer refunds once a download link has been made available to you, except where:

  • you did not receive a working download (non-delivery);
  • the file is fundamentally defective and we are unable to deliver a working replacement; or
  • a refund is required by law or by the marketplace's mandatory purchase-protection rules.

If you experience any of the above, contact the marketplace first, and also email us at hello@brightkitstudio.com so we can help resolve it.

8. User content and feedback

If you submit content to us (for example, a support message, a bug report, or feedback), you grant us a worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable license to use that content to operate and improve our Products. You represent that you have the right to provide any content you submit.

We welcome feedback but we are under no obligation to keep feedback confidential, pay for it, or credit you for it.

9. Intellectual property

The Products, including the underlying software, design, text, graphics, logos, trademarks, and the content of any templates or downloads we sell, are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by intellectual property laws. The "Bright Kit Studio" name, logo, and associated marks are our trademarks and may not be used without our prior written consent.

10. Third-party services

Our Products may interoperate with third-party services (such as Shopify, Etsy, payment processors, or email providers). We are not responsible for those services or their content, and your use of them is governed by their own terms and privacy policies.

11. Changes and availability

We are actively developing the Products and may add, change, or remove features at any time. We may also suspend or discontinue any Product, in whole or in part, at any time. Where reasonable, we will provide advance notice of material changes. For paid subscriptions, pricing and material feature changes are subject to the advance-notice rules in Section 6.

We strive for high availability but do not guarantee the Products will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of security vulnerabilities.

12. Disclaimers

The Products are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement, and any warranties arising out of course of dealing or usage of trade.

We do not warrant that the Products will meet your requirements, that the Products will be secure or error-free, that defects will be corrected, or that the Products will be compatible with any particular hardware, software, or third-party service.

13. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, in no event will we be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business opportunity, arising out of or in connection with your use of the Products, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Products will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid to us for the relevant Product in the twelve (12) months before the claim arose, or (b) one hundred US dollars ($100).

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages; in those jurisdictions, our liability will be limited to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

14. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Made by Maverick LLC, its affiliates, and its respective officers, directors, employees, and contractors from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or in any way connected with your use of the Products, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any law or third-party right.

15. Termination

You may stop using the Products at any time, and you may cancel a paid subscription as described in Section 6. We may suspend or terminate your access to the Products at any time, with or without cause, including if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms or failed to pay. On termination, the rights granted to you under these Terms will end, and any sections that by their nature should survive termination (including payment obligations for amounts already due, intellectual property, disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnification, and governing law) will continue in effect.

16. Governing law and venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Products will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in California, and you and we consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.

The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

17. Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make a material change, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, provide additional notice. Your continued use of the Products after the change takes effect means you accept the updated Terms. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, you must stop using the Products.

18. Miscellaneous

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Products, and supersede any prior agreements. If any provision of these Terms is held to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of our right to enforce it later. You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our prior written consent; we may assign these Terms freely. Nothing in these Terms creates any agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment relationship between you and us.
