Aeonhearth Pictures Product License

This is a legally binding agreement between licensee (“you”), and Aeonhearth Pictures regarding your rights to use Products from the Site under this license. “You” refers to the purchasing entity, whether that is a natural person who must be at least 18 years of age, or a corporate entity. The rights granted in this agreement are granted to the purchasing entity, its parent company, and its majority owned affiliates on a “royalty free” basis, which means that after a Purchase, there are no future royalties or payments that are required. This agreement incorporates by reference the Terms of Use as well as the Site’s policies and procedures as such.

I. Introduction & Definitions

Definitions

This agreement is intended to be easy to understand, and to provide clarity for using Products in the work you create (“Creations”). Over the years, Aeonhearth Pictures has been asked many questions about how Products may be used in Creations, and we have attempted to answer those questions in this agreement.

Some words in this agreement are given specific meanings. Words that appear initially in quotations, such as “you” and “Creations”, are defined in the text preceding the word. Other capitalized words are defined below:

“Product” is the collection of one or more digital files, packaged in the form of a product on the Site that can be identified by a Product ID, and that is made available to you for Purchase on the Site. A Product may include Product files, geometry, texture maps, materials, motion captures, renderings and other constituent files related to the Product data and its representation.

“Site” refers to the Aeonhearth Pictures websites, API’s, software applications or any approved means or utility either currently in existence or in the future; the software and source code used by Aeonhearth Pictures to provide such services; user interface layouts, designs, images, text, knowledgebase articles, program offers; site information provided in reports (such as popular keyword searches); and all other intellectual property protected under copyright, trademark, patent, publicity, or any other proprietary right.

“Purchase” is the acquisition of a Product by you from the Site under this agreement, whether as a purchase of Product made available at a price of greater than $0, or a download of Product made available at no charge.

“Aeonhearth Pictures” includes Shutterstock, Inc., and all licensed affiliates and partners that distribute Products, including Aeonhearth Pictures, Inc., and the Shutterstock group of companies.

“Product Page” is the product page or interface that displays Products available for Purchase on the Site.

“Computer Game” is a type of Creation that includes digital games, computer-based games, handheld electronic games, mobile games, online games, web-games, social games, game mods, and console-based games.

“Imagery” is a Creation made of any single image or sequence of images.

“Depicted Intellectual Property” means any intellectual property depicted in the Product, including any copyright, trademark, trade dress, right of publicity, or any other proprietary right throughout the world that may apply. For purposes of clarity, this does not refer to the copyrights owned by the creator of the Product that are licensed in this agreement.

To make reading this agreement easier and less repetitive, the following constructions are used:

“Include,” including,” and “such as” are considered to be followed with “but not limited to.” Examples are used in this agreement to illustrate, rather than limit, the scope of the terms.

“The following restrictions”, “the foregoing restrictions”, and “subject to the restrictions” are considered to be followed with “in addition to all other restrictions applicable within this agreement.”

II. License Rights

1. Ownership. Aeonhearth Pictures does not grant title or ownership in Products. All rights in Products not expressly granted in this agreement are reserved by Aeonhearth Pictures for itself and its licensors.
2. Rights Granted. For Products, Aeonhearth Pictures grants to you a non-exclusive, perpetual, worldwide right and license to copy, distribute, reproduce, adapt, publicly display, publicly perform, digitally perform, transmit, broadcast, telecast, advertise, create derivative works, and market Products within Creations in the uses authorized in this agreement. You may request authorization for a use not covered by this agreement (“New Use”) by writing [email protected]. Aeonhearth Pictures is authorized to approve a New Use if Aeonhearth Pictures finds in its sole judgment that the New Use is substantially similar to another established use in this agreement and authorizes the New Use in writing.

3. Rights Granted When Sharing Products. If you Purchase as an employee of a corporate entity, sharing Purchased Products with other employees of your corporate entity is allowed. Examples of allowed sharing include storing files on a networked hard drive, and aggregating Products for later use in future Creations. You are responsible for any downstream distribution, use, or misuse by a recipient of a shared Products. In all cases, sharing Products with external people or entities is only allowed in the following situations, and with the following restrictions:
4. In the production of a Creation owned by you, if you are working in collaboration with external parties, and there is a need to share Products for the development and production of your Creation, sharing Products with those external parties is allowed. Any external party that receives Products may only use Products on your Creations and must take reasonable care to secure and limit access to Products to that purpose.
5. In the production of a Creation owned by another entity (“your Client”), if you are working as a contractor and need to share Products with your Client, or any external parties working with your Client, sharing Products is allowed, subject to the restriction that all parties may use Products only for your Client’s particular Creation, and for successive versions of your Client’s Creation, such as sequel Computer Games or movies that utilize the same Products. All parties must take reasonable care to secure and limit access to Products to the parties working on your Client’s Creation. For all other use by any party, Products must be Purchased again to create a new license agreement governing that use
6. Editorial Use Restriction for Some Products. The following restrictions apply to any Product with an “Editorial Uses Only” label on its Product Page. Permitted use of Depicted Intellectual Property in such Products is limited to news reporting in Creations of some cultural, editorial, journalistic, or otherwise newsworthy value, including news reporting on television and the internet. A second permitted use is use within an academic setting, limited to teaching, scholarship, and research. This restriction does not apply if you have the needed authorization to use the Depicted Intellectual Property for your Creation, such as if you are owner of the Depicted Intellectual Property, or the advertising team, hired party, or licensee of the Depicted Intellectual Property owner.
7. Depicted Intellectual Property. Aeonhearth Pictures does not own or license any Depicted Intellectual Property. Aeonhearth Pictures does not in any way make any representations or warranties about Depicted Intellectual Property associated with Products. You are solely responsible for determining the need for and, if appropriate, obtaining any needed clearance, consent, or release to use any Depicted Intellectual Property in your Creations.

6. Creations of Imagery.

Permitted Uses of Creations of Imagery. Subject to the following restrictions, you may use Creations of Imagery within news, film, movies, television programs, video projects, multi-media projects, theatrical display, software user interfaces; architectural renderings, Computer Games, virtual worlds, simulation and training environments; corporate communications, marketing collateral, tradeshow promotional items, booth decorations and presentations; pre-visualizations, product prototyping and research; mobile, web, print, television, and billboard advertising; online and electronic publications of blogs, literature, social media, and email campaigns; website designs and layouts, desktop and mobile wallpapers, screensavers, toolbar skins; books, magazines, posters, greeting cards; apparel items, brochures, framed or printed artwork, household items, office items, lenticular prints, product packaging and manufactured products.

Restrictions on Permitted Uses of Creations of Imagery.

1. Stock Media Clearinghouse. You may NOT publish or distribute Creations of Imagery through another stock media clearinghouse, for example as part of an online marketplace for photography, clip art, or design templates.
2. Promotional Images. Images displayed for the promotion a Product on its Product Page (“Promotional Images”) may be used in Creations of Imagery, provided that the Product itself has been Purchased and subject to the following restrictions:
3. You may NOT use a Promotional Image that has any added element which is not included as part of the Product. An example of this type of restricted use is if the Product contains an airplane, and there is a Promotional Image of that airplane rendered over a blue sky; however, the blue sky image is not included as part of the Product. Other prohibited examples include use of Promotional Images from movies or advertisements that may have used Product.
4. You may NOT use any Promotional Image that has a logo, mark, watermark, attribution, copyright or other notice superimposed on the image without prior approval from Aeonhearth Pictures Support.
5. Business Logos. You may NOT use Imagery in any Creation that is a trademark, servicemark, or business logo. This restriction is included because the owners of these types of Creations typically seek exclusivity on the use of the imagery in their Creation, which is incompatible with the non-exclusive license granted to you under this agreement.

7. Creations of Computer Games and Software

Permitted Uses in Creations of Computer Games and Software. Subject to the following restrictions, you may incorporate Products in Creations of Computer Games, virtual worlds, simulation and training environments; mobile, desktop and web applications; and interactive electronic publications of literature such as e-books and electronic textbooks.

Restrictions on Permitted Uses of Products in Creations of Games and Software.

1. Interactivity. Your inclusion of Products within any such Creation is limited to uses where Product is contained in an interactive experience for the user and not made available outside of the interactive experience. Such a permitted example of this use would be to include a Product of human anatomy in a medical training application in a way that the Product or its environment may be manipulated or interacted with.
2. Access to Products. You must take all reasonable and industry standard measures to incorporate Products within Creations to prevent other parties from gaining access to Products. Products must be contained in proprietary formats so that they cannot be opened or imported in a publicly available software application or framework, or extracted without reverse engineering. WebGL exports from Unity, Unreal, and Lumberyard are permitted. Any other open format or format encrypted with decryptable open standards (such as an encrypted compression archive or other WebGL programs not listed here) are prohibited from using Products. If your Creation uses WebGL and you are not sure if it qualifies, please contact us and describe your Creation in detail if this is your desired use.
3. Open Systems. You typically may NOT include Products in Creations that have the general functionality for importing and/or exporting Products. Please contact us and describe your Creation in detail if this is your desired use. An example of such a prohibited use is to include Products as a starter library within a standard retail Software Creation that allows users to generally work with Products, even if the Product itself is somehow protected and is not capable of being exported. An allowed use is for custom or enterprise software in certain circumstances.
4. Virtual Good Sales. You may NOT import, upload, reproduce, make available, publish, transmit, distribute, or sublicense Products in Creations of virtual goods or worlds for any 3D community (“Virtual World”), unless you or your Client owns the Virtual World platform and it complies with the previous restrictions.

8. Creations of Physical Form.

Permitted Uses in Creations of Physical Form. Subject to the following restrictions, you may use Products to make Physical Creations such as 3D printed works, articles of manufacture, custom vehicles, furniture, jewelry, sculptural artwork, toys, and physical entertainment goods (“Creations of Physical Form”).

Restrictions on Permitted Uses in Creations of Physical Form.

1. Substantially Similar Creations. Permitted use of any Creation of Physical Form in which a Product is untransformed or substantially similar to the Product is limited to personal use, gifts, or charitable donations, with a maximum of 5 instances of such Creation per Purchase; unless the Product is a small part of a much larger array of other physical objects in the Creation. For example, if you are creating a real-world, physical human skeleton for manufacture for sale, it is permitted to add a 3D printed human head that exactly resembles the Purchased Product, but it is not permitted to sell the 3D printed head by itself. Another permitted example of a Product being a small part of a larger array is using a Product that ends up within an automobile as a part of the automobile.
2. No Depicted Intellectual Property. You may NOT reproduce Depicted Intellectual Property in any Creation of Physical Form for any purpose. For example, you may NOT make Physical Form Creations of a copyrighted character (Spiderman, Elsa, Slimer), or branded technology (Apple, Toshiba, Samsung).
3. 3D Industry Promotional Use. If Aeonhearth Pictures has granted you, as a hardware or software partner, access to priced Products on a free-of-charge basis, your use of Products is restricted to internal testing for your 3D software or hardware products, and to the promotion of your software or hardware products with Creations of Imagery provided that an attribution of the artist’s name and the Site are included. You agree that should any Products be used outside of these purposes in ways that are normally allowed after a Purchase, that you will notify Aeonhearth Pictures and promptly Purchase the Products and otherwise comply with the terms herein.
4. Unauthorized Use. If you use Products in an unauthorized way, Aeonhearth Pictures may terminate your account and pursue other penalties, damages, losses, and profits Aeonhearth Pictures is entitled to under this agreement or at law or equity. The following are unauthorized uses that are explicitly prohibited:
5. Competition. You may NOT use Products in a way that competes with the Site, including distributing through Product Clearinghouses. You may NOT publish, distribute, or make Products available through any online clearinghouse infrastructure. You may not redistribute Products as part of any design template, After Effects template, stock photography, video or clip art for distribution or licensing through any online stock media clearinghouse whatever.
6. Re-Distribution. You may NOT re-distribute, publish, or make Products available to any third party except in the form of a permitted Creation, or shared as authorized in this agreement.
7. Group Buying. You may NOT aggregate funds to Purchase Products with one or more other parties. An example of this prohibited use is a website membership where members pool their money to make a single Purchase that is shared by the members of the group. Each such member must Purchase individually.
8. No Obscene or Unlawful Use. You may NOT use Products for any defamatory, harassing, pornographic, obscene, or racist purpose, or to infringe any party’s Depicted Intellectual Property rights.
9. False Attribution. You may NOT misrepresent yourself as the creator of Products.
10. Resellers. The license granted herein is wholly transferable by an authorized reseller (“Reseller”) to another party (“Transferee”). Each transferred license must be transferred entirely and all transferred Products must be permanently deleted from the Reseller’s systems after the transfer. When transferring the license, Reseller represents and warrants that the Reseller has the authority to bind the Transferee to these terms. The Reseller is jointly and severally responsible with any Transferee and each are liable for the transferee’s use and compliance with Aeonhearth Pictures’s Terms of Use and Site’s policies and procedures as well as any financial obligations hereunder.

4. Aeonhearth Pictures reverses your Purchase at your request.
5. Aeonhearth Pictures receives a charge back or other notice from your bank or credit card cancelling your Purchase and/or withdrawing the funds used for your Purchase.

1. When you are granted delayed payment terms, and fail to make payments such that Aeonhearth Pictures sends you notice and terminates your account.
2. Failure to Abide by the License Grant. Material failure to abide by the terms of this agreement immediately terminates your right and license to Products. If you detect a violation of the license grant by you or any recipient of shared Products, and promptly report the violation to [email protected], Aeonhearth Pictures will make a good faith effort to find an appropriate remedy to preserve your license grant.

IV. Warranties

You covenant, represent, and warrant to Aeonhearth Pictures that:

2. Aeonhearth Pictures disclaims all express or implied conditions, representations, and warranties of any kind regarding Products, including any implied warranty or condition of merchantability.

To the extent that any jurisdiction does not allow the exclusion or limitation of direct, incidental, or consequential damages, portions of the preceding limitation or exclusion may not apply, but should be construed to the greatest extent applicable in such jurisdictions.

5. You agree to indemnify and hold Aeonhearth Pictures and its subsidiaries, affiliates, shareholders, officers, directors, agents, licensors, licensee, suppliers, alliance members, other partners, employees and representatives (“Aeonhearth Pictures Parties”) harmless from any claim or demand, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, made by any third party due to, or arising out of your use of Products or Creations.

2. Material Breach and Injunction.

Your rights hereunder vary by licensing tier as follows:

For the Standard License, you agree that any material breach of these Terms will result in irreparable harm to Aeonhearth Pictures for which damages would be an inadequate remedy and, therefore, in addition to its rights and remedies otherwise available at law, Aeonhearth Pictures will be entitled to equitable relief, including both a preliminary and permanent injunction, if such a breach occurs. You waive any requirement for the posting of a bond or other security if Aeonhearth Pictures seeks such an injunction.

For the Enterprise License, Aeonhearth Pictures may not seek injunctive relief hereunder for any Product. It hereby waives all right to equitable and injunctive relief and its damages shall be limited to monetary damages.

After Aeonhearth Pictures elects to arbitrate any dispute hereunder, Aeonhearth Pictures will waive any rights to a commission from both the Purchase and arbitration, and the parties must keep the results and process confidential and may not disclose anything related to the dispute to any other party (whether by oral, written, or other type of disclosure). To resolve disputes, Aeonhearth Pictures may decide to terminate or suspend users, revoke the license, offer replacement Products, reestablish the licensee, or surrender or reallocate fees (whether by refund, charitable donation, or otherwise). Aeonhearth Pictures may award up to 3X the Purchase price to either party depending on the circumstances. YOU UNDERSTAND, ACKNOWLEDGE, AND AGREE THAT ACCEPTING THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION WAIVES RIGHTS TO JUDICIAL RESOLUTION, TRIAL BY JURY AND RIGHTS YOU WOULD OTHERWISE HAVE IF YOU HAD NOT AGREED TO THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION.
