  • Editable Canva templates

  • Planning guides and timelines

  • Email sequences

  • Print-ready files

  • Instructions and how-to guides

✗ Create derivative works to sell or distribute

In short: This license is for your event, run by your organization. Not for resale, redistribution, or commercial use beyond your specific event.

License Scope

One Event Per Purchase: This license permits use for one event per purchase. If you're running Mini Masters 2024 and plan to run Mini Masters 2025, you'll need a new license for each year.

School/Recurring Event Licenses: If you're interested in licensing templates for multiple recurring events or school-wide use, contact us at hello@heartdrop.studio to discuss custom licensing options.

Customization Rights

All customized versions of these templates belong to you. Your school name, your event details, your printed materials, your customized designs—those are yours to keep and use.

The original template design, layout, fonts, color schemes, and template structure remain Heart Drop Studio intellectual property and cannot be repurposed or rebranded as your own designs.

4. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY & CONTENT

What's Ours

All original content on Heart Drop Studio—including templates, graphics, text, logos, images, layout, and design structure—is owned by Heart Drop Studio or used with permission. These remain our intellectual property.

You may not reproduce, modify, or distribute our intellectual property without written consent.

What's Yours

All customized versions of our templates are yours. Once you personalize them with your event details, colors, and content, those versions belong to your organization.

What's Copyright-Free to Use

All placeholder text provided in our templates (copy, email templates, guides, timelines, checklists) is copyright-free. You can adapt it, change it, make it your own, and repurpose it as needed for your event. This is intentional—we want you to make it yours.

5. PAYMENT, REFUNDS & BLOOMINGDEALS PRICING

Purchase Options

Mini Masters: $24.97 (one-time payment via Squarespace/Stripe)

Rock the Raffle: $19.97 (one-time payment via Squarespace/Stripe)

Bloomingdeals: Free + donation-based (suggested $5-20, entirely your choice)

Prices subject to change without notice. All sales are final.

Refund Policy

Digital products are non-refundable. Once you've downloaded the files, we cannot take them back or issue refunds.

Exception: If you purchase a bundle and the files fail to download, are corrupted, or don't work as described, email us immediately. We'll troubleshoot, resend files, or work with you to resolve the issue.

Non-Technical Refunds: If you're unhappy with the product for reasons other than technical issues (e.g., you changed your mind, don't like the design), we cannot offer refunds. However, we welcome feedback to help us improve future products.

Payment Processing

  • Payments processed through Squarespace and Stripe

  • You are responsible for providing accurate payment information

  • Taxes may apply based on your location

  • We accept all payment methods supported by Squarespace

Bloomingdeals: Donation-Based Pricing Model

How This Works:

Bloomingdeals is offered free + donation-based because we believe community generosity shouldn't have price tags.

  • Download the bundle for free (no payment required)

  • If it helps your community, donate what you can ($5-20 suggested, entirely your choice)

  • All proceeds fund Heart Drop resources and future templates

  • You can download and not donate

  • You can download and donate later when you see the impact

  • You can donate whatever amount makes sense for you

What This Is NOT:

  • Not a subscription (one-time download/donation)

  • Not conditional (templates aren't locked behind payment tiers)

  • Not a "pay later" requirement (we trust you)

6. THIRD-PARTY PLATFORM TERMS

32Auctions / Auction Platform Disclaimer

Heart Drop Studio provides instructions on how to use 32auctions (or similar auction platforms) in our templates and guides, but we are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or responsible for 32auctions, BetterWorld, or any other auction platform.

You are responsible for:

  • Creating your own account with the auction platform and complying with their terms of service

  • Following their payment processing requirements and procedures

  • Managing auction logistics, bid tracking, and winner fulfillment

  • Handling any technical issues with their platform

  • Contacting their support team for platform-specific problems

We provide: The template blueprint and instructions on how to use the platform.

They provide: The platform infrastructure, payment processing, and technical support.

If you have issues with 32auctions (bids not processing, QR codes not scanning, technical glitches, account issues), contact their support team. We can help troubleshoot our template, but the platform's terms and support apply to their service.

Canva Terms

Our templates are designed for use with Canva (free version). You must comply with Canva's Terms of Service when using our templates. We are not responsible for:

  • Canva platform changes or updates

  • Canva technical issues or downtime

  • Changes to Canva's features or functionality

  • Canva's data practices or privacy policies

If you have issues with Canva (can't access templates, download problems, technical glitches), contact Canva support.

Squarespace & Payment Processing

This Website is hosted on Squarespace and uses Squarespace payment processing. By using our site and purchasing products, you also agree to Squarespace's Terms of Service.

7. QR CODE DISCLAIMER

QR Code Functionality

The QR codes included in our templates are editable in Canva, so you can generate and customize your own QR code linking to your auction page, registration form, or other URL.

Important QR Code Guidelines

  • Test all QR codes before printing in bulk (don't print 100 copies without testing)

  • Minimum size: QR codes should be at least 2" x 2" to scan reliably

  • Color: Print in black ink on white or light background (colored QR codes may not scan reliably)

  • If a QR code won't scan: Regenerate it in Canva and test again before printing more copies

What We're NOT Responsible For

✗ QR codes that don't scan due to printing quality, size, or color issues

✗ Broken links (make sure your URL is correct when creating the QR code)

✗ Changes to 32auctions or other platforms that affect QR code functionality

✗ Technical issues with the platform the QR code links to

8. BLOOMINGDEALS: COMMUNITY EVENT RESPONSIBILITY & LIABILITY

Your Responsibility as Event Organizer

If you're running a Bloomingdeals community market at your school or organization, you are responsible for:

  • Getting principal/organization approval before running the event

  • Securing an appropriate space for the market

  • Managing volunteers and event setup

  • Collecting, organizing, and displaying donations

  • Operating the market according to school/organization policies

  • Handling any issues that come up during or after the event

We provide the blueprint. You run the event. Success depends on your organization's effort, not on Heart Drop's involvement.

Donation Safety & Responsibility

We strongly recommend:

  • Inspecting all donations for safety (no broken toys, stained/damaged items, recalls)

  • Cleaning items before displaying them

  • Refusing donations that don't meet safety standards

  • Checking toy recalls and product safety databases before accepting donations

  • Ensuring all items are age-appropriate for your audience

You are responsible for vetting donations. Do not assume items are safe just because someone donated them. Your organization is liable for event safety.

Community Liability Disclaimer

Heart Drop Studio is NOT responsible for:

✗ Injuries or incidents at your Bloomingdeals event

✗ Disputes between families over donations or pricing

✗ Items going missing, being damaged, or being lost

✗ Safety issues with donations

Your school or organization is responsible for: Event safety, liability insurance, donor vetting, and all logistics.

✗ Volunteers will show up or follow through

✗ Any platform (Canva, 32auctions, email) will work perfectly at all times

You are purchasing a blueprint, not a guarantee of success.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law:
