Templates License

Every template and starter vault published on Vaultorial — the zips you download here and the copies in our GitHub repository — is released under the MIT License. The full license text ships inside each download. This page is the plain-words version.

What you can do

• Use the templates for anything, personal or commercial: your own vault, your team's vault, notes for client work. No payment, no registration, no usage limits.
• Modify them freely. Rename folders, rewrite the templates, delete the example notes, combine pieces of several vaults. The result is yours.
• Share and redistribute them, original or modified, on their own or as part of your own work — the only condition the MIT license imposes is keeping its copyright and license notice with the files.
• Skip the credit. Attribution is appreciated and helps other people find the templates, but it is not required. A link to vaultorial.com is a nice gesture, never an obligation.

What the license does not cover

Two boundaries, one legal and one of plain fairness:

• Do not strip the license notice and resell the unmodified files as your own template product. Removing the notice breaks the MIT license's single condition; and beyond the letter of it, repackaging the untouched zips behind your own paywall or download gate is the one use we ask you not to make. Build on them, change them, include them in something bigger — all fine.
• The Vaultorial name and the site's own content are not part of the deal. The license covers the template files. The articles, screenshots and branding on this website remain ours, and nothing here grants rights to the Obsidian trademark, which belongs to Dynalist Inc.

Third-party plugins

Some templates are designed to work with community plugins such as Tasks, Kanban, Dataview, Day Planner or Templater. Those plugins are independent projects with their own authors and licenses; our zips never include their code. You install them yourself from Obsidian's plugin directory, and each template page lists which ones are required and which are optional.

No warranty

The templates are provided "as is", without warranty of any kind, as the MIT license states. They are tested in real vaults before publication, but you use them at your own responsibility: Vaultorial is not liable for lost notes, broken workflows or any other consequence of using the files. Back up your vault before merging any template into it — that advice is in every README, and it applies to templates from anywhere, not just ours.

Questions about an edge case — bundling templates with a course, shipping them inside an app, anything this page does not settle? Ask first; answers are free.
