Your use of the licensed content is subject to the content licence agreement. You also have the option to upload your own content ("user content"), over which you have full control and responsibility. You can use licensed content, your user content, and tools available in Crafty Art to create your designs.
The service is made available on craftyartapp.com, Crafty Art mobile app, Crafty Art desktop application, and in other forms provided or made available by Crafty Art.
