It means the license lets you make money from products using the design, usually physical items like shirts or mugs. Some licenses distinguish physical products, POD and digital-file resale. Check the terms that applied to this purchase and ask the seller or a qualified professional about unclear use.
Every marketplace words this differently, which is why "it said commercial" is the start of the answer, not the end.
Personal use covers things you make for yourself or give away free. Commercial use covers anything you sell or use to promote something you sell.
A file marked "personal use only" is meant to stay off products you sell, unless the seller says otherwise in writing.
It depends on the files - one bundle can contain designs under different license terms. Read the license that came with YOUR bundle against the use you are planning, file by file. If it is unclear whether a file is covered, ask the seller - or a qualified professional - before you list.
BundleShield points to selected lines in readable license text and gives each accepted design a separate file-signal result; you must read the license and decide which terms apply.
Not automatically. Compare the license that came with the files with the listing and any terms that applied when you purchased. If they disagree or the file coverage is unclear, ask the seller or a qualified professional before listing.
It depends on the license. POD can be allowed, capped by quantity, or banned, and the license text is where that lives.
Look for "print on demand" or "POD" explicitly in the license before listing.
Some licenses are unlimited for physical products; others cap sales or require an extended license past a cap. The number, if there is one, lives in the license text.
If you can't find a cap, that is a question to resolve before you scale, not after.
Yes. If a platform or rights holder ever asks, the license text and your receipt are your evidence.
Save both somewhere you can find a year from now.
It depends on the license. The license text decides whether your edits change anything.
Read it against the design as you plan to sell it, not against your edits - and if it is unclear, ask the seller before you list.
Only if the license explicitly says so. Check the terms that came with your bundle for anything covering resale, redistribution, or sharing of the source files.
If your plan involves selling digital files, that needs a license that explicitly says so.
The platform can remove the listing after a rights-holder complaint, and repeat or serious complaints can put the shop itself at risk. Funds can be held while a complaint is reviewed.
Whatever the platform does, your answer starts in the same place: the license text for the exact file involved.
It can contribute, yes - marketplaces track complaints per shop and can hold payouts while a complaint is reviewed. No single file guarantees a shutdown, and anyone who promises that is selling fear.
What you control before listing is narrow and real: read the license for the exact file, and keep your receipt.
Read the complaint carefully and keep everything: the listing, the license, your receipt, and any messages from the seller. The license is one piece of evidence, not proof of ownership or a defense to every complaint. Check the platform's complaint process, and get qualified advice before you respond or relist.
We do not investigate ownership or compare artwork against the web, so this check cannot tell you whether a design was copied.
What we CAN do is check your files for the problems we can detect - brand-name pattern matches, duplicates, technical issues - and quote the license clauses that deserve your attention. The deciding stays with you. That is the check that is actually possible.
Two separate things. Your DESIGNS (SVG or PNG): technical checks that include brand-name pattern matches, exact duplicates, readable text, embedded fonts or images, external references, metadata, and unsafe active content. Your LICENSE TEXT: we quote the clauses our check can reliably catch - print on demand, transfers, decals, DTF, sublimation, and extended-license terms - so you can read them yourself.
The check never decides whether a specific file is permitted. That call stays with you, with the relevant clause in front of you. It is a risk check, not legal clearance.
Send one ZIP containing up to 50 SVG or PNG designs and the license as a plain-text .txt file inside that ZIP; the total ZIP size must not exceed 95 MB. PDF licenses are not accepted; save their text as a .txt file inside the ZIP first. If the ZIP cannot be processed, contact hello@bundleshield.com about a replacement upload. Without a license document, a report cannot be delivered.
A plain-English report, and we commit to delivering it within 24 hours of a completed check. In a completed report, each accepted design has a result - Clear, Review, or Remove. Flagged designs come with the specific reason in one line and a concrete next step, like "leave it out, or ask the seller for a clean copy". In a completed report, the file-action table has one row for each accepted design. The separate findings table may group the same finding when more than three designs share it. A summary line shows the tally.
The sample report shows exactly what that looks like, with a synthetic 12-file test bundle (7 Clear, 4 Review, 1 Remove).
It means this design passed the limited checks we run - no flagged issue found. It is not a legal clearance, not an approval, and not a judgment about your license.
Clear rows carry a short generic explanation rather than a file-specific reason, because there is no finding to explain.
It means something needs your judgment before listing. Per design, Review can mean a known-name pattern, duplicate, metadata/attribution notice, or another file signal explained in the report.
A quoted license clause is different: it is a note about the license document, listed for you to read, not a mark against any design. A Review never quietly becomes a Clear. What needs your judgment stays with you.
It means active content detected inside the file itself - for example script, event-handler, or web-link trigger content inside an SVG. Leave the file out of your listing unless you resolve the issue; the report names the problem and a concrete step, like asking the seller for a clean copy.
No. BundleShield is a practical preflight check with a defined, limited scope. For legal decisions, talk to a lawyer.
Automated. The checks are rule-based: every upload is checked against the same rubric, the same way.
One bundle, $9.90, no subscription. We commit to delivering your report within 24 hours of a completed check. 30-day money-back guarantee. If you're not satisfied, email hello@bundleshield.com within 30 days of purchase for a full refund. No conditions.
There isn't one. Careful preflight checks are focused work, and a focused service should cost less than the bundle did.
People buying bundles are usually trying to do the right thing. The price should make that easy, not harder.
No. Your upload sits in a private per-order quarantine while we check it and prepare your report, and we remove your uploaded files and working copies from active case storage - verifying those copies are absent - before the report is emailed to you.
We keep only limited order and deletion records. If a check cannot be completed, email hello@bundleshield.com about deletion; we do not yet have an automatic retention deadline for incomplete cases, so we would rather tell you that plainly than print one.
