Who grants the right to sell

The seller, using one of Fab's own licence types. The platform writes the licences, each listing says which one applies, and a default applies if the seller picks nothing. So you need the listing for which licence, and the platform's terms for what it allows.

Where to find it

This section is about the platform's web pages, not its terms, so the terms can't confirm it. We haven't checked it against the live site recently, so treat it as a starting point and check the site yourself.

  • The listing, for who the licensor is. Fab's licence agreement says that when Epic is not the licensor, the listing identifies who is.
  • The licence tier you buy. The tier decides which files you receive, so check the listing for the tiers offered.
  • Whether the listing names an open source or Creative Commons licence instead. The agreement says that licence then applies in place of the Standard License.

What the labels mean

Fab Standard License
Epic's licence, granted by the item's licensor. It is written around digital projects such as games, films and renders, and does not mention physical copies either way.
Personal and Professional tiers
The tiers a Standard License is sold under. The tier decides the files you get; neither changes the point that the licence does not address printed objects.
Creative Commons or another open licence
Where a listing names one, it applies instead of the Standard License, and its own terms decide the commercial question.

Worth knowing

  • Fab is built for game and film assets. Its Standard License covers projects, sharing and distribution, and is silent on selling printed objects. If that is what you want to do, ask the creator and keep the answer.

What to keep

Terms change, and in a dispute what counts is what you agreed to on the day. Save a copy when you buy, not when someone asks for it.

  • The listing as it read on the day you bought, including the licensor, the tier and any open licence named.
  • The Fab purchase record.
  • If you mean to sell prints, the creator's permission in writing, since the Standard License does not address it.

The authority

This page describes how licensing works here in our own words. It is not a statement of what you are permitted to do, and it does not reproduce anyone's terms. Read the Fab terms

Fab's general terms of service sit behind a bot check we do not get around, so this page is based on the Fab End User License Agreement, which is the document that governs the licence.

Confirmed against the platform's own terms on 30 Sept 2026. Their document was last updated 1 Oct 2024 — if that date has moved, so may this page have.
