MakerWorld Exclusive Program is now Live!

Thanks for all of your support and love for our Exclusive Model Program! We’ve already seen many exciting models that has been uploaded as or switched to Exclusive Model.

Of course, there are many questions and concerns all of you may share with our current rules, and we are here to provide some feedback and answers regarding some of the most frequently asked questions.

  1. Regarding our licensing requirements: The Standard Digital File License ensures that our Exclusive Models and 14-Day Exclusive Models are protected from unauthorized use by third parties, thereby maximizing the protection of our Creator’s intellectual property rights. Users are free to access and use Exclusive Models per the Standard Digital File License granted by our creators.

  2. For existing models hoping to enter the program, creators need to change the license of the models to Standard Digital File License before entering the program, again, to ensure our models are protected from unauthorized use by third parties and eliminate the risk of being re-uploaded to other platforms without authorization.

  3. Changing the license doesn’t impact the rights of those who downloaded or remixed the model earlier. When related disputes occur, we may require proof of the download or remix date and the license used.

  4. Some of you are concerned with selling commercial license after entering our Exclusive Model Program and setting your models as Standard Digital File Licenses. We have heard your needs and are working on setting up our commercial licensing services as soon as possible to meet the various needs of our community.

  5. We want to remind you of our quality standards for Exclusive Models. This program is about offering top-notch models to our users. If you’re unsure about our expectations, please review our Exclusive Model Guidelines. Models that don’t meet our standards will be removed from the program, and intentionally submitting low-quality models will result in point deductions and a ban from future participation.

Our progam is still in the pilot phase and may have some shortcomings and things that need to be fixed or adjusted. If you have any further questions or advice regarding our Exclusive Program, let us know in the comments and we will answer them as quickly as possible. Thanks!
