Our terms of service
Read our terms below to learn more about your rights and responsibilities as a Dribbble user.
Updated May 16, 2023
Dribbble Holdings Limited (the “Dribbble Group”) is comprised of several companies, which together provide tools to help the world’s designers to create, develop and promote their talents (each a “Service” and collectively, the “Services”). The companies within the Dribbble Group each act as the data controller for personal data processed in respect of their Services (each a “Group Company” and together the “Group Companies”) and referred to as “our,” “we,” or “us” below. Our Group Companies operate the Services, which include websites, software, mobile services, and applications.
This page explains the terms by which you may use our online and/or mobile services, website, and software provided on or in connection with the Services. These terms apply to all sites to which link to these terms, including, but not limited to, dribbble.com, creativemarket.com, fontspring.com, fontsquirrel.com, and any subdomains thereof. By using the Services, creating an account and checking the "I agree" (or similar) box, or otherwise accessing or using the Services, you (1) agree that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of these Terms of Service (these “Terms”), and (2) also that you have read and acknowledge the collection and use of your information as set forth in our privacy policy (the "Privacy Policy"), whether or not you are a registered user of the Services.
Your use of certain Services or features of our Services may be subject to additional terms. For example, if you purchase a font or other Asset from Creative Market, purchase a font from Fontspring, or download a font from Font Squirrel, additional license terms for the font or Asset may apply (each, a “License”). Similarly, if you make a purchase through the Services, an applicable return policy may apply. If you sign up to be a seller or affiliate (e.g., on Shop and Partner terms on Creative Market or Foundry terms on Fontspring), your use of the Services in such a capacity may be subject to additional terms. If you engage in sharing content and interact with other users in our community (e.g., posting or commenting on content at Dribbble), your conduct may be subject to Community Guidelines. We may offer promotions or contests through the Services from time to time, and your participation in these may also be subject to additional terms. To the extent additional terms affect your use of the Service, those terms (including, but not limited to, the licenses and Privacy Policy noted above) are hereby incorporated by reference into these Terms.
These Terms apply to all visitors, users, buyers, sellers and others who access the Services ("User(s)," or "you," or "your"). If you open an account on the Services on behalf of an organization or other entity, then (i) "you" includes you and that entity, and (ii) you represent and warrant that you are an authorized representative of the entity with the authority to bind the entity to these Terms, and that you agree to these Terms on the entity’s behalf.
PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY AND BE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND IT FULLY, BECAUSE IT EXPLAINS AND CONTROLS YOUR LEGAL RELATIONSHIP WITH US AND YOUR RIGHTS RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE.
PLEASE NOTE: SECTION 19 CONTAINS A BINDING ARBITRATION CLAUSE AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER. IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS ABOUT HOW TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE WITH US. PLEASE READ IT CAREFULLY.

Our services also provide a marketplace where Users can buy and sell design items, such as fonts, brushes, patterns, and other digital assets ("Assets"). Some of our Service allows for a buyer ("Buyer") to purchase limited licenses (in accordance with the applicable License) to use Assets from shops opened on the Services by independent creators ("Shop Owners"). References to "buying" or "purchasing" Assets means buying or purchasing limited licenses to those Assets.

The Service is not available to any Users previously removed from the Service by Dribbble Group.
License Terms. As noted above, your use of any Assets is subject to the applicable License (outlined in License Terms and Font License Terms.)

THE FOLLOWING SECTIONS 22 AND 23 ARE APPLICABLE TO U.S. CONSUMERS AND, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, CONSUMERS IN ALL OTHER JURISDICTIONS OUTSIDE CANADA:
Arbitration and Class Action Waiver. PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY; IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO BRING A CLASS ACTION.
(a) Arbitration of Disputes: For any claim, disputes, or controversy between you and us that arises out of, is related to or connected with the goods or services you acquire from or through us (individually a "Dispute" and collectively "Dispute"), you agree to first contact Dribbble Group at help@dribbble.com to attempt to resolve the Dispute informally. We hope we can resolve any Dispute with you.
In the unlikely event that you and Dribbble Group are unable to resolve the Dispute within sixty (60) days after you contact us, then you and we each agree to resolve the Dispute only by and through binding arbitration with a single arbitrator. You and we further agree that the arbitration may be administered by American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under the Commercial Arbitration Rules and Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes then in effect for the AAA or, if an arbitration is not possible through AAA, through a similar well-recognized nationwide arbitration administration service with similar rules.
The only exceptions to our agreement to arbitrate are as follows: (1) any and all Dispute related to injunctive relief and/or any dispute relating to the enforcement or validity of your, your licensors’, our, or our licensors’ Intellectual Property Rights (as discussed below); (b) to the extent that arbitration clauses are prohibited by applicable law in jurisdictions outside of the United States; or (c) a Dispute that meets the requirements to be heard in small claims court as a single-plaintiff claim (which you may bring in such a small claims court at your option).
You agree that the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act encourages the arbitration of private disputes in an efficient manner and shall govern the interpretation and enforcement of this provision. The arbitrator has exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this binding arbitration agreement.
Notwithstanding any arbitration rules to the contrary, if your Claim is for U.S. $10,000 or less, we agree that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing. If your Claim is for more than U.S. $10,000, at the option of either party, the arbitration will be conducted at an in-person hearing.
We will advance the payment of filing fees and arbitrator’s fees and expenses, with the understanding that the arbitrator will be permitted to re-allocate those costs in the award.
In any arbitration, the prevailing party will not seek to recover attorney’s fees or expenses. The award rendered by the arbitrator will be final and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in this Section shall prevent either party from seeking injunctive relief from the courts as necessary to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of that party’s data security, Intellectual Property Rights, or other proprietary rights.
(b) Class Action Waiver: YOU AND WE AGREE THAT ALL DISPUTES MUST BE BROUGHT IN YOUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, AND THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S DISPUTES. YOU AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND DRIBBBLE GROUP ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. If the class action waiver is found to be illegal or unenforceable as to all or some parts of a dispute, then those parts won’t be arbitrated but will proceed in court, with the rest proceeding in arbitration. If any other provision of this arbitration section is found to be illegal or unenforceable, that provision will be severed but the rest of this section still applies.
(c) Opt Out: You may opt out of this arbitration agreement and class action waiver. If you choose to do so, neither you nor we can force the other to arbitrate and, following efforts to informally resolve any Disputes, the claim will be brought in court. To opt out, you must notify us in writing no later than 30 days after first becoming subject to this arbitration agreement. Your notice must include your name and address, your username and the email address you used to set up your account (if you have one), and an unequivocal statement that you wish to opt out of this arbitration provision, all sent to optout@dribbble.com. You must also retain a copy of your opt-out notice.Governing Law and Jurisdiction.
