Terms of service

Last updated: 7 November 2026

These terms apply to this website, modylight.com, and to the lamp generator at make.modylight.com. By creating an account or using the lamp generator, you agree to them. Please also read the privacy policy.

1. Who we are

MODYLight is offered by David Follen, trading as CuratedLayer, Belgium. Contact: [email protected]. A postal address is available on request.

2. The service

The lamp generator lets you choose a shape, a size, a pattern and colours, and creates a digital file (3MF) of a patterned lamp that you can print on your own 3D printer. We supply digital files only; we do not sell printed lamps, filament or electrical parts.

3. Your account

• You must be 16 or older.
• Use an email address you control, and keep access to it and to your Google account secure. You are responsible for what happens in your account.
• One account per person. Do not try to obtain more than one free credit, overload the service, or access it by automated means.
• We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms. If we close your account without a fault on your side, we refund unused paid credits.
• You can delete your account at any time on the Account page. Unused credits are lost when you do, so use them or ask for a refund first.

4. Credits

• One credit unlocks one lamp file. After unlocking, you can download that file as often as you like for 30 days. After 30 days the file is deleted and a new credit is needed to generate it again.
• Editing your lamp and previewing it are free.
• Your first sign-in with a Google account comes with one free credit, once per Google account.
• Prices are shown before you buy and include VAT where it applies.
• Credits do not expire while the service runs. They have no cash value and cannot be transferred.
• Credits given for free or during the beta cannot be refunded.

5. Right of withdrawal

If you are a consumer in the EU, you may withdraw from a purchase of credits within 14 days without giving a reason, for every credit you have not used. Write to [email protected] or use the contact form; we refund within 14 days using the means of payment you used.

When you use a credit to unlock a lamp file, you ask for the file to be delivered immediately and confirm that you lose your right of withdrawal for that file. The lamp generator asks you to confirm this each time.

6. Payments

Paid credits are not on sale yet. The payment provider and its terms will be named here before the first paid credit is sold.

7. What you may do with lamp files

The designs, patterns and files remain the intellectual property of CuratedLayer. When you unlock a lamp file, you receive a personal, non-exclusive licence to:

• print the lamp for your own personal, non-commercial use, as often as you like.

You may not:

• share, upload, publish, resell or give away the files, whole or in part;
• sell printed lamps made from the files, unless you have our written permission;
• use the files, patterns or the MODYLight name to build a competing service.

8. Printing and safety

• Print results depend on your printer, filament and settings. We check our files carefully, but we cannot guarantee a result on every machine.
• Use only low-heat LED light sources as described in the lamp generator. Never use incandescent or halogen bulbs: printed plastic softens and can deform or catch fire with heat.
• Electrical parts are not supplied by us. Use certified parts and follow their manufacturer's instructions. Do not leave a lamp you have modified switched on unattended.

9. Availability and the beta

We work to keep the service available, but cannot promise it will always be free of interruptions. We may improve or change features. During the beta, the service may be reset and data erased; testers will be told beforehand.

10. Your legal rights and our liability

If you are a consumer, you keep all your legal rights, including the legal guarantee that digital content conforms to what was described. If a lamp file is faulty, tell us and we will fix it, give you a new credit or refund you.

We are fully liable for damage caused intentionally or through gross negligence, and for death or personal injury caused by our negligence. Otherwise, as far as the law allows, our liability is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the event, and we are not liable for damage caused by printing, assembling or using a lamp against these terms or the safety advice above.

11. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms, for example when paid credits open. We change the date at the top and tell account holders about important changes by email before they apply. If you do not agree, you can stop using the service and delete your account.

12. Law and disputes

These terms are governed by Belgian law. If you are a consumer, you also keep the protection of the mandatory rules of the country where you live, and you may bring a claim before the courts of that country or of Belgium. Please contact us first: most problems are solved quickly by email.
