What happens to a Cricut account when someone dies

“You may not transfer your Account or Account Information to any other person, and you may not use anyone else's Account or Account Information at any time. DIGITAL CONTENT made available through the PLATFORM (EVEN WHEN PURCHASED) is licensed, not sold, to you.”¹

Member Care email support responds within 48 business hours, and a privacy rights request draws a response within 45 days (or 15 where the law requires). Neither is an estate commitment.^{2, 1}

Purchased digital content is held under a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, limited license, so a purchased library is a license that ends rather than property that passes to the estate.¹

The Usage Rules allow digital content to be used only with the Software and only via the account, and apply to uploaded content too, so an uploaded design is bound to the account the same way a purchased image is.¹

On termination, any license and any other rights granted under the Terms of Use end.¹

On termination Cricut may, but has no obligation to, delete the account's information, user content and account data.¹

Account deletion cannot be undone. It deletes all projects, images, uploads, fonts and digital purchases, forfeits any remaining cricut.com store credit and cancels Cricut Access immediately, with no refunds.³

The Privacy Policy keeps data until the user deletes the account, and after that only to the extent applicable law requires or to prevent fraud.¹

All payments to Cricut are non-refundable, including shop purchases, digital content and subscriptions, regardless of usage or satisfaction.¹

Remaining cricut.com store credit cannot be cashed out to the estate and is forfeited if the account is deleted. If Cricut grants a survivor access, the credit can be spent down.³

Cricut states that purchased ready-to-make projects, single images, fonts, image sets and linked cartridge entitlements are "yours to use in Design Space forever", but only inside that account while it exists.⁴

Cricut Access content is not owned. A project using Access-exclusive content stops cutting once the plan expires, and the fixes Cricut offers are to re-subscribe or to remove or change the exclusive images or fonts.⁵

Cricut Access is an auto-renewing subscription and every payment is non-refundable, so the charge continues until it is cancelled at the channel that bills it.^{6, 3}

A plan bought on cricut.com bills through Cricut, and a cancelled subscription expires at the end of the current billing cycle. A plan bought in the Design Space mobile app must be cancelled through the Apple App Store or Google Play.⁶

Deleting the Cricut account does not stop an App Store or Google Play subscription; Cricut states the subscription must be cancelled via Apple or Google "or you will continue to be charged."³

The design library does not travel with the machine. A new Cricut ID starts with an empty Design Space and none of the old account's purchased images, uploaded designs or saved projects.¹

Member Care may handle an estate request case by case at its discretion, or decline. Access for a survivor would set aside the non-transfer terms as a courtesy, so there is no entitlement to it.¹

The Terms of Use prohibit any person from using another's account, and signing in as the decedent puts the account at risk of being disabled at Cricut's sole discretion.¹

The Privacy Policy lets a designated authorized agent make a rights request and says Cricut may require verification of the agent's authority. Cricut does not say a decedent's fiduciary qualifies as an authorized agent.¹

A small business run on Cricut under the Angel Policy cannot pass its Cricut account to a successor or heir, so anything the business depends on has to exist outside the account.¹
