Wovns has created an online marketplace to connect makers of custom fabric designs (the “Designs”) with users of the Website who wish to buy fabric using the Designs, such fabric being available for sale on the Website (“Buyers” and, together with You and the other designers, “Users”). You own Designs uploaded to the Website on Your account or otherwise submitted by You to Wovns. You wish to provide Wovns with the Designs and Wovns wishes to manufacture and distribute the Designs and provide any other Wovns Services as provided in the Designer Terms and Conditions or the Website.
