All Credit Boosts are subject to the same allowances, limitations, and restrictions discussed in section 11 (“Silhouette Design Store Credit”) of these Terms of Use.

14. Silhouette Design Store Subscriptions

Silhouette Design Store subscriptions are a premium service offered by Silhouette America® which provide download credit valid toward the purchase of digital download content offered through the Silhouette Design Store. A Silhouette Design Store subscription is not required to access the Silhouette Design Store, nor to download content from the Silhouette Design Store.

You must have a Silhouette account in order to sign up for a Silhouette Design Store subscription at https://www.silhouettedesignstore.com/subscription-signup.

A.Trial Subscription Option

Some select Silhouette machines include a Trial Silhouette Design Store subscription (FREE 30-Day Silhouette Design Store subscription). This trial subscription entitles you to a Basic subscription for 30 days starting from the date of applying the promotional code onto your account. A trial subscription does not obligate the user to continue further subscription service. If you do not cancel your Trial Subscription before the end of the 30-day trial period, a Basic Subscription (or your pre-selected subscription type) will begin and a charge for this subscription service will be assessed to your primary credit card on file on a monthly basis. If your Trial Subscription is canceled, any unused subscription credits will be forfeited.

If a subscription is already active on your account at the time a Trial Silhouette Design Store subscription code is redeemed, a Silhouette Design Store credit value equal to the Basic subscription monthly credit amount will immediately be placed onto your Silhouette Design Store account, rather than appending a 30-day Basic subscription onto your account.

A.Trial Subscription Option

B.Paid Subscription Options

The Silhouette Design Store has various tier options for available subscriptions (see https://www.silhouettedesignstore.com/subscription-signup for details). Each successive tier offers an increasing number of monthly Silhouette Design Store credits. If you select to sign up for a subscription option, you are allotted a monthly balance of credits usable for the purchase of digital content from the Silhouette Design Store provided that your subscription remains active. By selecting to sign up for a subscription option you authorize Silhouette America® to charge your payment method (either monthly or up-front, as selected by you at sign up) according to the associated subscription fee indicated in the applicable schedule of fees for the subscription duration period regardless of the amount of digital content you download.

Your subscription period is measured from the date on which you sign up under the subscription option, and the subscription month runs from the day of the month on which you first sign up under the subscription option to the same day of each following month (or to the last day of a following month if you first paid a subscription fee on the 29th, 30th, or 31st of a month and a following month has fewer than 29, 30, or 31 days).

A subscription does not limit you to a certain number of downloads, rather it apportions you a balance at the beginning of each month according to your payment schedule. You may download digital content in excess of the monthly limit in any subscription month by paying the applicable per-design fee. Select subscription options may offer a reduced rate on individually purchased content once subscription credits have been exhausted (see “Features” listing for specific plan information at https://www.silhouettedesignstore.com/subscription-signup). By selecting and downloading digital content in any subscription month after your account balance has been depleted, you agree to pay the associated per-design fee, which is indicated near the design or posted on a separate schedule of fees, and you authorize Silhouette America® to charge your credit or debit card or PayPal account, according to your selected method of payment.

Subscription credits expire 60 days from the time of application while your subscription remains active. Once your subscription has ended or otherwise expired and has not been renewed, all unused subscription credits will be forfeited.

C.Available Subscription Discounts:

Up-Front Annual Payment Discount: An additional 5% discount is provided if you select to pay your subscription up-front (rather than month-to-month) during the sign up process.

Other Sales & Promotions: During certain times of the year, there may be a subscription sale or promotion. In such instances, a promotional code will be provided to enter during the subscription signup process.

D.Upgrading a Subscription:

Subscriptions can be upgraded to a higher subscription tier at any time. Upgrading refers only to the subscription tier and not the subscription duration. When upgrading, you will have the option to delay activation until completion of the current subscription (“Append to the End” option) or to activate the upgraded subscription immediately (“Start Immediately” option).

Append to the End: If you choose to delay the activation of your upgraded subscription until your current subscription has expired, your new subscription will begin on the end date of your current subscription regardless of whether you pay month-to-month or had paid up-front for the entire duration of the subscription.

Start Immediately: If you choose to activate your upgraded subscription immediately, your current subscription will end and your upgraded subscription will begin immediately. If you are paying month-to-month, you will be required to pay the new subscription rate for the duration of your subscription. If you paid up front, a prorated amount will be credited toward the purchase of your upgraded subscription.

E. Canceling a Subscription:

Upon cancellation or subscription termination, any unused subscription credits will be forfeited. Any subscription may be canceled after a period of three months without incurring a cancellation fee. If a subscription is canceled before three months have elapsed, a cancellation fee, equal to three monthly subscription payments minus payments already made, will be charged. You may select to cancel your subscription by logging into your Silhouette account at www.silhouettedesignstore.com and visiting the “Subscription Tools” section of the "Account Settings". Further instructions on cancellation are provided in this section.

F.Downgrading a Subscription:

Downgrading to a lesser subscription tier is only possible after a subscription is canceled. You will be obligated to pay a cancelation fee if you cancel your subscription before three months have elapsed subject to the information found under “Canceling a Subscription”.

15. Pay-as-you-go Option

In the absence of a subscription, your Silhouette account will default to a “Pay-as-you-go” method. This means that by having a Silhouette account and logging into the Silhouette Design Store, you are authorized to download any digital content from the Silhouette Design Store at any time by paying the applicable per-design charge. By selecting and downloading digital content, you agree to pay the associated per-design charge, which is indicated near the design or posted on a separate schedule of fees, and you authorize Silhouette America® to charge your account balance or credit or debit card or PayPal account, according to your selected method of payment for each download.

Under the "Pay-as-you-go" option, you are not obligated for any periodic fees or any minimum number of purchases, and there is no limit to the number of Digital Designs you may download. You are only obligated to pay for the Digital Designs you choose to download.

16. Rewards Program

This website offers a Rewards Program. Badges can be earned while using this website by performing certain actions. Actions that may earn badges include logging into the website, downloading content, and other select activities. Regarding the activity of downloading content, each line item in an order is counted as one “download”. For example, a design bundle is counted as one download.
