Summary

Figma Kit

The Figma Kit comes in three packages: Basic, Plus and Premium. Every package is sold with one of four license tiers: Personal, Team, Organization or Enterprise. For the Figma Kit, the tier you need depends on your Figma plan and on how many people can edit the file.

Personal license

• The Personal license is for solo creators and freelancers who are the only person with edit permissions to the Figma UI kit file.
• You can use a Personal license in a Figma team if you are the only member of that team with edit permissions.

Team license

You need a Team license if any of these apply:

• More than 1 person has edit permissions to the Figma file.
• More than 1 member of your Figma team has a Full seat.
• Your team uses the Figma Professional plan.

Organization license

You need an Organization license if any of these apply:

• More than 1 member of your Figma team has a Full seat.
• Your team uses the Figma Organization plan.

Enterprise license

You need an Enterprise license if any of these apply:

• More than 1 member of your Figma team has a Full seat.
• Your team uses the Figma Enterprise plan.

Figma Kit license grant

When you buy our Figma UI kit or Figma Templates (the "Item") from this website, you get an ongoing, non-exclusive, worldwide license to use the Item for the uses and under the conditions in this agreement. You may use the Item to create unlimited End Products for yourself or for your clients. You may sell, license, sub-license or freely distribute those End Products.

An End Product is a customized implementation of the Item. For example, the Item is a package of UI elements and the End Product is your own finished web app or mobile app design.

What you may do with the Figma Kit

• Create an End Product for a client.
• Create an End Product for personal or commercial use.
• Sell, license, sub-license or distribute the End Product, and make any number of copies of it.
• Combine the Item with other works and make a derivative work from it. The resulting works fall under this license.
• Use the Item many times, in many projects. This is a multi-use license.

What you may not do with the Figma Kit

• Share a link to the Item on the web, or distribute the Item (for example by embedding it) with Figma public access.
• Share the Item to the Figma Community.
• Place any of the Item's design files into the End Product as they are.
• Redistribute the Item as stock, in a tool or template, or with source files. This applies to the Item on its own or bundled with other items, and also when you modify it.
• Redistribute, resell or make the Item available as it is or with superficial changes.
• Let an end user of the End Product extract the Item and use it separately from the End Product.
• Give edit permissions to other people if you bought a Personal license.
• Use our designs or components to create and sell your own UI kits, design systems, templates or other resources for Figma or any marketplace, or to give them away for free.

Code resources

Code resources are Pro Blocks, Coded Templates and Agent Skills: components, sections, templates and agent instruction files made for shadcn/ui projects. They are part of the Premium package.

For code resources, the license tier sets how many developers may use them:

Code resources license grant

When you buy our Pro Blocks, Coded Templates or Agent Skills (the "Item") from this website, you get an ongoing, non-exclusive, worldwide license to use the Item for the uses and under the conditions in this agreement. You may use the Item to create unlimited End Products for yourself or for your clients. You may sell, license, sub-license or freely distribute those End Products.

For Pro Blocks, the End Product is a customized implementation of the Item. For example, the Item is a package of UI components and the End Product is your own finished web application, website or software product that uses them.

What you may do with code resources

• Create an End Product for a client.
• Create an End Product for personal or commercial use.
• Sell, license, sub-license or distribute the End Product, and make any number of copies of it.
• Modify and customize the components to fit your needs.
• Combine the Item with other code and make derivative works from it. The resulting works fall under this license.
• Use the Item many times, in many projects. This is a multi-use license.

What you may not do with code resources

• Share or distribute the Item's source code in its original form.
• Publish the components to public package registries, such as npm or yarn.
• Include the components in open-source projects or templates.
• Redistribute the Item as a development kit, library or template.
• Sell, resell or distribute the components as a standalone product.
• Give access to the Item's source code or your license key to more developers than your license tier covers: 1 (Personal), 5 (Team), 10 (Organization) or 15 (Enterprise).
• Create derivative component libraries based on Pro Blocks for distribution.
• Use our components to create and sell your own UI kits, design systems, templates, starter kits or component libraries in any marketplace or channel, or to give them away for free.

Third-party icons

The Figma Kit and code resources include icons made by third parties. Those icons stay under their original licenses, and nothing in this agreement overrides or replaces those licenses. When you use the icons in your projects, you are responsible for reading and following the license of each source:

• Lucide Icons
• Tabler Icons
• HugeIcons
• Phosphor Icons
• Remix Icon

Figma Plugin

The Figma to shadcn/ui plugin is part of the Premium package. The number of people who may use the plugin depends on your license tier:

• If more than 5 people need access to the Figma plugin, you need an Organization license, even if your team uses the Figma Professional plan.
• If more than 10 people need access to the Figma plugin, you need an Enterprise license, even if your team uses the Figma Professional or Organization plan.

DS Manager

DS Manager is a web app at manager.shadcndesign.com. You use it to build a shadcn/ui design system and publish it as a shadcn/ui registry, which you then install into your projects. You sign in with GitHub.

DS Manager plans

DS Manager has three plans:

• Free.
• Pro, paid as a monthly or yearly subscription.
• Lifetime, a one-time payment that gives you Pro for as long as we operate DS Manager. We sell Lifetime only while the offer is available.

The limits of each plan are the ones shown on the Plans tab in the app.

DS Manager accounts

An account is for one person. You can't share or resell your login or your account.

What you own

You own the design systems you build in DS Manager and what you publish from them: your tokens, settings and edits. You may install them into unlimited personal and client projects and ship End Products built with them commercially. The shadcn/ui components underneath stay under their own MIT license.

Pro Blocks in DS Manager

Pro Blocks you install through DS Manager (shown as ProBlocks in the app) follow the same rules as Pro Blocks bought as a code resource. You may not:

• Redistribute them as a library, kit, template, starter or marketplace item.
• Publish them to public package registries.
• Release the block code as open source.

Your registry serves blocks beyond the free set only while the account that publishes it is on Pro or Lifetime. You may install these blocks into your own projects and your clients' projects. Don't share a registry link publicly as a way to give Pro Blocks away.

What you may not do with DS Manager

• Use DS Manager or anything it produces to build a competing design-system tool.
• Resell component libraries generated by DS Manager, or Pro Blocks, as a product.

If your purchase is not what you expected, contact us within 14 days of purchase and we will refund it. We issue the refund within 30 days after reviewing your request.

• You have to delete all files from your Figma account.
• You have to remove installed code resources (Pro Blocks, templates and agent skills) from your projects and stop using your license key.
