LICENSE TERMS AND CONDITIONS

APPENDIX 2 TO SUBSCRIPTION OFFER AGREEMENT

The User shall gain access to download Assets based on the Offer Agreement, its appendices, and addenda published on the Website. The rights and obligations of the Parties – the User (Licensee) and the Website (Licensor) – shall arise at the moment of purchasing a subscription or downloading an Asset from the Website. The User's download of an Asset shall confirm that they have read, understood and accepted these terms and conditions and that they agree to use the Assets in accordance with the terms of the license for use, as well as the Offer Agreement and any other documents presented on the Website.

1. Terms and Definitions

"Asset" means a set of one or more digital files, packaged as a single product and made available to the User on the Website. An Asset is identified by a unique identification number (hereinafter referred to as the "ID") and can be selected and downloaded by the User within the scope of an active subscription. An Asset may include, but is not limited to: 3D model and geometry files (FBX, OBJ, etc.), textures and maps (PNG, TIFF, EXR, etc.), HDRI maps, materials, shaders, brushes, LUT tables, animations, simulations, renders, audio and video files, scripts, presets, as well as accompanying documentation and metadata. An Asset may be provided in an archived format or as separate files. An Asset is an object of copyright and/or related rights and is provided under the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

"Website" means the website http://www.scanwow.com, API, software applications and other tools, utilities; software and source code, interface, design, images, texts, articles, generated reports, and other intellectual property items.

"Asset Selection" means an action by the User to assign a specific Asset to their account within the limits of their Subscription Plan. It grants the right to unlimited downloads of the selected Asset during the subscription period; after the subscription ends, it grants the right only to re-downloads during the Grace Period ("Grace Period") (as defined in Clause 2.2.5 of this License Agreement). New Selections and initial downloads are not permitted during the Grace Period.

"Download" means the technical process of the User obtaining Asset files onto their device (once or multiple times) after the Asset Selection.

"Asset Page" means a page of the Website, an interface displaying Assets available to the User, the terms for downloading and using Assets, and any other related information.

"Work" means a standalone end product (or part of a product) created by the User or the User's Client (e.g., a game, film, episode, advertising campaign, DLC, standalone add-on, application, visualization, etc.), created using the Assets and intended for distribution, publication, sale, public display, or any other commercial or non-commercial use.

"Individual" means a user acting on their own behalf, not having a legal entity and not acting on behalf of a legal entity (including sole proprietors until reaching corporate thresholds).

"Legal Entity" means an organization of an individual or a group of individuals of any form (including sole proprietors upon reaching corporate thresholds).

"Organization Revenue" means the total gross revenue of a Legal Entity for the last accounting/financial year.

"Funding" means attracted investments, grants, subsidies for the organization or for a specific Work over the past 12 months.

"Title ID" means an identifier for a Work. It is mandatory for Legal Entities (including contractors acting on behalf of the User's Client) for each Download. Title ID is not required for Individuals, except when such an individual is acting in the interests of a Legal Entity or the User's Client.

"Perpetual Single-Work License" means a license where the rights to use legally downloaded Assets are perpetual (unlimited in time) but limited to one Work, specified by the User via the Title ID upon Download. Use of the same Assets in any other Work is permitted only after acquiring a new license (except as expressly stated in the Agreement).

"Anti-Warehousing" means prohibition against stockpiling Assets "for future use" without a reasonable connection to the User's current works or projects. Warehousing refers to actions aimed at artificially replenishing a library of Assets for future indefinite use (including mass "Selections," batch downloads, creating a shared team "pool"), where Assets are not integrated into specific workflows within a foreseeable timeframe.

"User Library" means a list of Assets that have been lawfully downloaded at least once by the User from their account. Such Assets are displayed in the user account and are available for re-download within the timeframes established by this Agreement.

"First Download Date (FDD)" means the calendar date and time of the first successful Download of a specific Asset by the User.

"Re-download Window (RDW)" means a period of twenty-four (24) months from the FDD, during which an Asset from the User's Library is available for unlimited re-downloads with an active subscription (Clause 2.2.5). After the RDW expires, a new Selection with an active subscription is required for re-download.

"Grace Period" means thirty (30) calendar days after the subscription ends, during which the User is only entitled to re-download Assets from their User Library (i.e., those previously downloaded at least once). New Selections and initial downloads are not permitted during the Grace Period.

"Baked-In" means the incorporation of an Asset (in whole or in part) into derivative files, data (including baked maps, texture atlases, lightmaps, occlusion maps, normal maps, precomputed data, cache data, builds, executable packages), where the original components of the Asset are not represented "as-is." Baked-In does not change the legal status; such derivatives are subject to the same license terms, rules, prohibitions, and restrictions set forth by the Offer Agreement, this Agreement, its appendices, and addenda as the original Assets.

"NSFW Content" means Assets and/or derivative materials potentially unsuitable for viewing by minors and/or hypersensitive persons. Such content includes, but is not limited to, sexually explicit material, depictions of tobacco products, alcohol, naturalistic anatomical images, realistic scenes of injuries, blood, animal remains, biological secretions, etc. Access to NSFW Content is granted only to adult users. It includes two subcategories:

  • (a) Artistic, Anatomical Content — artistic, educational, and reference materials (including life drawing, nude figure) for purposes of art, design, medicine, anatomy, without the intent of sexual arousal and not positioned as erotica or pornography;

  • (b) Graphic, Medical, Reference Content — materials featuring blood, injuries, raw meat, offal, animal remains, biological, physiological secretions, etc., intended exclusively as references, educational, or production materials (e.g., for SFX, FX, medicine, veterinary science).

"Subscription Plans" means paid and free access plans (FREE, WOW, PRO, UNLIM, UNLIM TEAMS), described in the document "SUBSCRIPTION PRICE, TERMS AND CONDITIONS. PLANS". The Plans define financial and technical parameters (number of "Selections," download limits, features) without altering the scope of rights granted under the corresponding license type (Appendices A1-A5 to the Agreement), unless expressly stated otherwise in this Agreement.

"Additional Selection/Download Pack" means a paid option that increases the "Asset Selection" and/or "Download" limits during the active subscription period. Financial and technical parameters are defined by the document "SUBSCRIPTION PRICE, TERMS AND CONDITIONS. PLANS".

"Derivative Material" means any result created by modifying, combining, or incorporating an Asset (including baked-in, remapping of maps, retopology, LOD, frames, builds, packages). Derivative Materials are subject to the same restrictions as the Assets, unless expressly stated otherwise in this Agreement.

"License Uplift" means the conversion of rights for a previously lawfully downloaded Asset from the original license type as of the FDD (e.g., A1/A5 → A4; A4 → A3 per-title) to a higher license type. An Uplift is processed by clicking the corresponding button or taking an action in the interface and confirmed by the Website (electronic log, certificate). Financial and technical conditions for an Uplift (including the possibility of zero cost, limited promotions, quotas) are defined by the document "SUBSCRIPTION PRICE, TERMS AND CONDITIONS. PLANS" and/or the terms of a specific promotion.

"Minor Changes" means any edits that do not result in a new, standalone creative outcome and do not substantially alter the appearance or functionality of the Asset.

"Composite Derivative" means the addition of new elements, geometry, effects on top of an Asset while preserving the original geometry and textures in such a way that the Asset remains recognizable and/or can be separated or restored with reasonable effort (including removal of added details, reverse engineering of scenes, unpacking of packages).

License Terms

2.1. Ownership

The Website does not transfer exclusive or copyright rights to the Assets. All rights not expressly granted under this Agreement are reserved by the Website and/or its licensors.

2.2. Granted Rights

2.2.1. License to Use Downloaded Assets. The Website grants the User a non-exclusive, perpetual, worldwide right (license) to use lawfully downloaded Assets in Works, in the ways expressly permitted by this Agreement, the Offer Agreement, and appendices thereto. The scope of rights is defined by this Agreement. The license does not imply a transfer of exclusive rights and does not allow for alienation or sublicensing to third parties, except as expressly provided for in this Agreement. "Perpetual" refers to the term of rights for lawfully downloaded Assets. For Legal Entities, the scope of rights is limited to one Work (Title ID) for which the Selection and Download have been made. Any new Work shall require the acquisition of a new license, unless expressly stated otherwise in this Agreement. Individuals shall not be limited to one Work (Title ID).

2.2.2. Right of Selection and Download. Specific limits on "Selections", frequency, volume of Downloads, and available features are defined by the document "SUBSCRIPTION PRICE, TERMS AND CONDITIONS. PLANS" and may affect the availability of license types for future Selections (see Clause 2.3.6), as established by this Agreement and Appendices A1–A5.  Upon subscription expiry, the User shall retain the rights under Clause 2.2.1 for already lawfully downloaded Assets. Re-downloads are governed according to Clause 2.2.5 (RDW, Grace). After subscription expiry, new Selections and initial downloads are not permitted until its renewal. The Title ID requirement shall apply only to Legal Entities (Clauses 2.2.3–2.2.4).

2.2.3. Binding Download to Title ID — for Legal Entities Only

  1. For Legal Entities, Download without specifying a correct Title ID is not permitted; other terms shall be specified and agreed upon by the Website and the Legal Entity in separate agreements.

  2. Prohibition of Circumvention. Any obtaining of Asset files without specifying a Title ID or with a fictitious/erroneous Title ID (including through automation, request modification, exploitation of vulnerabilities, or use of third-party tools) shall be deemed an unauthorized download and constitutes a material breach of this Agreement.

  3. Temporary Status. Until a correct Title ID is specified:

  • Integration of the Asset into builds, projects, public display, transfer to third parties, and release is prohibited;

  • Only local technical verification of file integrity (without inclusion in Works) is permitted.

  1. Obligation to Rectify. Upon the Website's request, the User shall, within 24 hours, assign a correct Title ID or delete all copies of the Asset and cease use.

  2. Consequences. In case of violation of Clauses 2–4, the Website shall be entitled to: immediately block the user account and annul the corresponding "Selections"; demand deletion of the Assets; claim contractual penalty and damages; seek an injunction.

2.2.4. Release Without a Registered Title ID (for Legal Entities Only).

Inclusion of an Asset in a publicly released Work without an active registered Title ID at the time of the first release creates a presumption of unlicensed use and obligates the User to: immediately purchase the corresponding license for the Work (retroactive to the release date) and pay for it at the price applicable to the required plan and user class, as well as pay a contractual penalty and damages. Upon the Website's demand, the User shall remove or replace the Asset in such a Work.

2.2.5. Re-downloads.

2.2.5.1. Assets from the User's Library are available for unlimited re-downloads during the RDW (24 months from FDD) with an active subscription.

2.2.5.2. After the RDW expires, re-download is possible only upon a new Selection of the Asset within an active subscription and Plan.

2.2.5.3. Grace Period of 30 days. Within 30 calendar days after subscription expiry, the User is only entitled to re-download Assets from their Library. New Selections and initial downloads are not permitted during the Grace Period.

2.2.5.4. For Legal Entities, the rules of Clauses 2.2.3–2.2.4 (Title ID) shall apply to all downloads, including re-downloads and downloads during the Grace Period.

2.2.5.5. Effect of Plan Change. Upgrading to a higher-tier plan does not change the scope of rights for Assets first downloaded before such upgrade: re-download within the RDW is permitted, but the use of such Assets is governed by the original license type as of the FDD.

2.2.5.6. Rights Conversion. Using previously downloaded Assets under a new license type requires a License Uplift or a new Selection under the current plan or license type. The RDW and FDD are not reset upon uplift.

2.2.6. Additional Packs.

Purchasing an Additional Pack only increases the "Selection/Download" limits for the duration of the active subscription and does not change the scope of license rights (Appendices A1–A5), per-title rules, Title ID, RDW, and Grace Period. Assets downloaded using an Additional Pack are subject to: (i) per-title, Title ID (for Legal Entities), (ii) RDW of 24 months from FDD, (iii) other restrictions of this Agreement.

2.2.7. Early Renewal, Subscription Restart.

Early renewal or restart of a subscription only changes the billing period and limits defined in the appendices to this Agreement. The User Library is preserved, and rights already obtained under Clause 2.2.1 remain in force. The RDW is not reset: the 24-month period from its FDD continues for each Asset.

2.2.8. Plan Uplift.

Transition to a higher-tier plan is effective from the moment of activation and changes the limits and functions according to the appendices to this Agreement and expands or narrows the license rights established by this Agreement (including per-title/Title ID for Legal Entities). An uplift shall not grant the right to retroactively reassign previously downloaded Assets to a different Title ID or for "anti-warehousing". 

2.2.9. Terms Fixed as of FDD. The terms and conditions of this Agreement as in effect on the First Download Date (FDD) of a given Asset shall apply to that Asset. Subsequent amendments shall not worsen the User's rights to such Asset, except for requirements of imperative law or upon notification of Asset withdrawal under Clause 7.6.

Exception: When a License Uplift is applied to an Asset, the terms of the new license type shall apply from the uplift date, or retroactively (to the FDD) only if expressly stated in the uplift confirmation.

2.2.10. License Uplift.

License Uplift is a tool for converting rights to a previously lawfully downloaded Asset to a higher license type (e.g., A1/A5 → A4; A4 → A3) without reselecting the Asset. Uplift can be processed for a single Asset or as a Bulk Uplift, where a single interface action applies to a group of Assets. In case of a Bulk Uplift, the price is calculated per Asset and aggregated into a single payment, and the legal effect and confirmation (log, certificate) are recorded for each Asset separately in an electronic log/certificate (Asset ID, account, date, time of uplift, target license type; for A3, also Title ID) and are effective from the uplift date. Retroactive effect is possible only if it is expressly stated in the uplift confirmation. Financial and technical conditions (including zero-cost promotions, quotas, availability periods) are established by the document "SUBSCRIPTION PRICE, TERMS AND CONDITIONS. PLANS". License Uplift does not legalize past violations, does not cancel per-title, Title ID, anti-warehousing, or anti-extraction requirements, and does not reset the RDW (24 months from FDD) for the respective Asset.

a) Uplift is available only for Assets from the User's Library within the RDW and upon meeting the applicability criteria of the target license type (e.g., for A4, availability of a commercial PRO, UNLIM, UNLIM TEAMS plan; for A3, registration of a Title ID).

b) Uplift is processed per-Asset; confirmation is recorded in an electronic log/certificate (Asset ID, account, date, time, target license type; for A3, it is Title ID).

c) The Website shall be entitled to run promotions with a zero uplift price, limited by time, quantity, or Asset categories. Running a promotion does not create an obligation to provide free uplift in the future and may be discontinued or modified at the Website's discretion.

d) Uplift does not constitute a waiver of the Website's rights and claims and does not legalize violations that have occurred prior to the uplift date, except where retroactive effect is expressly stated in the uplift confirmation.

e) The Website may refuse and/or annul an uplift in case of attempted circumvention of per-title, Title ID, anti-warehousing, in case of fraud, or withdrawal of the Asset (Clause 7.6).

2.2.11. Applicability. A bulk may only include Assets that correspond to the target license type (e.g., for A3, a valid Title ID is required; for Editorial, uplift is unavailable). Ineligible items are automatically excluded from the operation with notification. Uplift is unavailable for Assets with "Editorial only" (A2) status; commercial use of such Assets is prohibited.

2.2.12. Title ID for Bulk A4→A3 Uplift. If all Assets are uplifted for the same Work, it is permitted to specify only one Title ID for the entire bulk. For different Works, separate operations or separate groups for each Title ID are required.

2.2.13. Partial Success. In case of technical failures or limitations, the uplift is deemed completed for successfully processed Assets; for the rest, the attempt does not create any rights or incur any payment.

2.2.14. Financial Terms. Minimum payment, quotas, discounts for bulk uplifts, as well as possible zero price within promotions, shall be governed by the document "SUBSCRIPTION PRICE, TERMS AND CONDITIONS. PLANS".

2.2.15. Timing and Effects. Bulk uplift takes effect prospectively from the moment of operation confirmation. Retroactive effect is possible only if it is expressly stated in the confirmation. The RDW and FDD are not reset.

2.2.16. Anti-Circumvention. Bulk processing does not cancel per-title, Title ID, anti-warehousing, or anti-extraction. Attempts to circumvent give the Website the right to cancel the uplift for the relevant items. Processing a License Uplift does not constitute an amnesty for violations committed prior to the uplift date and does not release from liability under Section 4.

2.3. User Classification and Threshold Conditions

2.3.1. Individuals and Sole Proprietors.

—Personal: Gross revenue from commercial activity over the past 12 months ≤ USD 100,000.

— Professional (Individual): Gross revenue from commercial activity over the past 12 months ≤ USD 500,000.

 An Individual or Sole Proprietor with Organization Revenue or Funding > USD 500,000 per year shall be automatically transferred to the Subscription Plans for Legal Entities.

2.3.2. Legal Entities (Corporate Tiers). Corporate Plans apply to users whose Organization Revenue and/or Funding over the past 12 months exceeds USD 500,000 (either criterion applies):

  • Indie: > USD 500,000 and ≤ USD 1,000,000 (over 12 months).

  • Studio: > USD 1,000,000 and ≤ USD 10,000,000 (over 12 months).

  • Corporate: > USD 10,000,000 and ≤ USD 50,000,000 (over 12 months).

  • Enterprise: > USD 50,000,000 (over 12 months).

The User shall declare the applicable tier in good faith and shall transition to the corresponding Plan within 30 calendar days upon reaching and/or exceeding a threshold. The Website shall be entitled to request reasonable supporting documents (see Clause 2.3.4) and perform a true-up based on the audit results.

2.3.3. Self-Declaration, Upgrade, and Anti-Circumvention.

The User shall declare their status in good faith and shall transition to the applicable Plan within 30 calendar days upon reaching and/or exceeding thresholds. Splitting projects, using affiliated entities, and other actions aimed at circumventing thresholds are prohibited.

2.3.4. Audit Right and True-up.

The Website shall be entitled to request reasonable supporting documents (store/platform reports, financial statements, investment information) to the extent necessary to verify the Plan. Based on the audit results, the User shall perform a true-up for the past period. A good-faith, voluntary upgrade without intent to circumvent shall not incur penalties. An audit may include verification of Title IDs, Download dates, and release materials. If necessary, the Website shall be entitled to conduct a selective audit of the User's release builds (binary and/or package files of the Work: .exe, .apk, .ipa, .pak, .bundle, etc.) for compliance with the requirements for protecting Assets from extraction ("anti-extraction"). The audit shall be limited to the analysis of packaging, obfuscation, DRM, and the availability of export or debugging functions. Source code shall not be requested unless otherwise agreed in writing. The materials shall be used solely for audit purposes, are confidential, and shall be deleted and/or returned upon completion. Where possible, alternative evidence (video recordings, tool logs, hash snapshots) and remote verification are permitted. Minimum notification period is 10 business days; frequency of notification is no more than once every 12 months, unless there is a reasonable suspicion.

2.3.5. Tier Transition and Price Recalculation.

  1. Threshold Exceeding Date (TED) is the calendar date when the Organization Revenue and/or Funding first exceeds the limit of the applicable tier.

  2. Upon the occurrence of the TED, the User shall transition to the corresponding higher tier (Plan Uplift) within thirty (30) calendar days.

  3. True-up. The subscription price shall be recalculated on a pro-rata basis:

    • The new price applies from the 1st day of the month following the TED, for the remaining paid period;

    • For the period from the TED to the date of the actual uplift, a true-up payment shall be charged, equal to the difference between the price of the new and the previous tier for the corresponding days/months.

  4. Automatic Uplift. If the User fails to transition within the deadline, the Website shall be entitled to change the tier automatically and issue an invoice for the true-up; until payment is made, the Website shall be entitled to restrict access to Selections and/or Downloads.

  5. Downgrade. Transition to a lower tier is permitted only from the date of the next renewal. Amounts paid for the current period are non-refundable.

  6. Incorrect Self-Declaration. If inaccurate information or a delayed uplift is discovered, the Website shall be entitled to charge a retroactive true-up from the TED and a contractual penalty of 20% of the outstanding amounts, unless a different penalty is established by the "SUBSCRIPTION PRICE, TERMS AND CONDITIONS. PLANS", and may also apply the measures under Section 4 of this Agreement.

  7. Independence of Per-Title Licenses. The validity of previously obtained perpetual per-title licenses is not affected by subsequent uplifts or downgrades. New Selections, Downloads, and registration of new Works from the uplift date are carried out under the terms of the current tier.

2.3.6. Plan and License Type Eligibility Matrix.

  • FREE → only A1 and A5 are permitted. Commercial use is prohibited.

  • WOW → A1 and A5 are permitted. Commercial use is prohibited.

  • PRO → A4 (Commercial for Individuals) is permitted.

  • UNLIM → A4 (Commercial for Individuals) is permitted.

  • UNLIM TEAMS → A4 (Commercial for Individuals) is permitted for each seat, provided the thresholds in Clause 2.3.1 are met. If the team acts on behalf of, or in the interests of, a Legal Entity, or if the aggregate revenue/funding exceeds the thresholds, A3 (Corporate per-title) applies.

Grandfathering and Uplift. Changing a Plan does not convert the rights to already downloaded Assets; expanding rights is possible through a License Uplift (including a zero-price promo uplift) or a new Selection under the current license type.

2.3.7. UNLIM TEAMS (Multi-Seat for Individuals).

a) The owner of the team account guarantees that each member meets the criteria of Clause 2.3.1 and does not act on behalf of a Legal Entity or a Client without complying with Clause 5 of Appendix A4 ("Works for a Client").

b) Selections and Downloads made by a member are deemed to be made by that specific member and shall not be aggregated into a "shared library for future use".

c) Downloading Assets "for future use" without connection to a member's active project (anti-warehousing) is prohibited under the rules for Legal Entities if the member is acting in the interests of a Client that is a Legal Entity (see Clauses 2.2.3–2.2.5).

d) If the threshold criteria are no longer met (transition to Clause 2.2.2), the owner shall perform an uplift according to Clause 2.3.5; pending the uplift, the Website shall be entitled to restrict Selections and Downloads. 

e) "Seat" means a personal access for a single user. Transferring seats to other persons is prohibited. Temporary transfer is permitted once per 90 days, provided the access of the previous user is revoked.

f) The team owner shall ensure access control (SAML/SSO/2FA) and shall be liable for the actions of the members.

g) Anti-Circumvention. Holding multiple subscription plans (seats) does not grant the right to circumvent corporate thresholds (Clauses 2.3.2 – 2.3.5) or the per-title/Title ID rules (Clauses 2.2.3–2.2.5, Clause 2.4).

h) Modification and Renaming of Plans. The renaming and feature set of plans in the documents constituting the Agreement does not affect the rights and restrictions of the license types in effect under this Agreement.

2.4. Per-Work License — For Legal Entities Only.

The rights granted under this Agreement are perpetual in term but limited in scope to one Work. Each standalone Work (including each DLC, standalone add-on, episode, part, spin-off, etc.) for Legal Entities requires a separate license, unless otherwise provided by Clause 2.4.2 (Season, Series) or other appendices. 

2.4.1. General Rule. Each standalone Work created using Assets (including each DLC, standalone add-on, episode, part, spin-off) requires a separate license, unless otherwise provided by the purchased package.

2.4.2. Season, Series. A single license may cover a series or a season for up to 12 months or up to 12 episodes, whichever comes first, after which a new license is acquired.

2.4.3. What Does Not Constitute a New Work. Patches, fixes, localizations, ports to other platforms, and regional releases without substantial content changes are covered under the original license.

2.4.4. License Confirmation. The Website shall be entitled to issue an electronic certificate or log containing the Title ID, date and time of download, Asset ID, and user account. The User shall retain such confirmations and provide them upon request by the Website, a platform, or a rights holder. The confirmation (certificate, log) shall also reflect instances of License Uplift, indicating the new license, the date of the uplift, and (for A3) the corresponding Title ID.

2.4.5. A4 → A3 Uplift. When uplifting from A4 (Individual) to A3 (Corporate per-title), the rights shall become effective only after a correct Title ID is assigned; without the registration of a Title ID, the uplift is considered incomplete and does not grant the right to release or distribute.

2.5. Shared Use and Works for Clients

2.5.1. Within an Organization. Shared use of Assets is permitted solely for the purpose of creating a specific Work for which the organization or Client holds a valid license. Creating "libraries or collections for future use" is not permitted without acquiring a separate license for each subsequent Work.

2.5.2. Works for the User's Client. When acting as a contractor, the obligation to acquire a license for Assets for a specific Work rests with the User's Client. The User is only permitted to process Assets if the Client holds a valid license. Transfer of Assets to the Client and/or its engaged third parties is permitted only to the extent necessary for the production of that specific Work and subject to compliance with protection and confidentiality measures. Reuse in other projects or versions requires a new license.

2.5.3. Distribution of the final Work (e.g., film, series, game, compiled application) to end-users shall not be considered sublicensing of the Assets, provided that anti-extraction measures are complied with (Clauses 3.7 – 3.8).

2.6. Special Asset Statuses

2.6.1. Editorial Only. Editorial use (news, journalism, publications of public interest) is permitted. Commercial marketing, branding, packaging, merchandise, and other advertising applications are prohibited without external permissions from the rights holders of the depicted objects. Detailed terms are specified in Appendix A2 (Editorial License).

2.6.2. Non-Commercial Only. Only non-commercial use is permitted (education, research, personal non-monetized portfolio). Detailed terms are specified in Appendix A1 (Free/Non-Commercial License).

2.7. Permitted Use of Assets

Subject to the restrictions outlined below, the inclusion of Assets is permitted in the following cases:

  • News, films, TV projects, video projects, multimedia, theatrical performances, UI;

  • Architectural visualization, games, virtual worlds, simulation and training environments;

  • Corporate communications, marketing, exhibitions, stands, and presentations;

  • Pre-visualization, prototypes, and research;

  • Advertising (mobile, web, print, TV, outdoor advertising);

  • Online and electronic publications (blogs, social media, email campaigns);

  • Web design, wallpapers, screensavers, skins;

  • Books, magazines, posters, postcards;

  • Apparel, booklets, reproductions, household items, lenticular prints, packaging, and serially produced goods — provided the Asset cannot be extracted "as-is."

Commercial use is also governed by Appendix A3 (Commercial License for Legal Entities) and Appendix A4 (Commercial License for Individuals).

Restrictions on the Use of Assets

3.1. Stock Media Resources.

Publishing or distributing Assets and/or Works through third-party stock platforms (photo, clip-art, 3D, templates, game assets, etc.) is prohibited. Creating "packs" of Assets for sale or free distribution is prohibited. Gifting or transferring Assets in any form (including via Discord, forums, torrents, file-sharing services) is prohibited.

3.2. Logos and Trademarks.

Assets must not be used as trademarks, service marks, or elements of corporate identity/branding. Registering Assets or derivative images as intellectual property items is prohibited.

3.3. Artificial Intelligence.

This Agreement establishes a complete prohibition on using Assets for: training, retraining, fine-tuning, or testing models; content generation; automated labeling or classification; analysis for datasets; creating, augmenting, or distributing datasets; uploading to third-party AI services (including style transfer); or transferring Assets to third parties for any AI-related purposes. No exceptions are permitted.

3.4. Resale and Redistribution.

Reselling, publishing, or distributing Assets "as-is" or after Minor Changes is prohibited. Such changes include, but are not limited to:

  • Renaming files or folders, changing archive structure;

  • Converting formats without creative modification (e.g., FBX↔OBJ, EXR↔PNG), changing resolution, or compression level;

  • Editing metadata, materials, and simple parameters (roughness, metalness, gamma, exposure) without creating new maps or patterns;

  • Minor color correction, retouching, or repacking of textures;

  • Insignificant mesh optimization (e.g., auto-decimate, LOD) without noticeably altering the silhouette or detail;

  • Re-baking maps from the same source data (normal, AO, lightmap) without creating new content;

  • Merging, splitting meshes, or transferring UVs without introducing new artistic content.

Publishing or distributing derivatives where the Asset remains recognizable or extractable (composite derivatives) is prohibited, even if new elements are added (e.g., adding eyes and legs to a pear model to create a character) and even if restoration requires technical effort. Such derivatives are only permitted as part of a Work, provided anti-extraction measures (Clause 3.7) and the prohibition on sharing source files are observed.

3.5. Transfer to Third Parties.

Transfer to third parties is permitted only under Clause 2.5 (works for a Client under the Client's license). In all other cases, it is prohibited.

3.6. Interactive Models and Environments.

Assets may be used in interactive applications, games, and simulators, provided they are integrated into the user experience and are not accessible in their source form outside of that experience.

3.7. Protection Against Extraction (Anti-Extraction).

The User shall implement reasonable industry-standard protection measures (packaging, obfuscation, DRM, encryption, disabling debug/export functions) to prevent the extraction of Assets "as-is."

A Work must not provide end-users with functionality to export the Asset's source files (FBX, OBJ, textures, etc.). Detailed conditions are specified in Clauses 3.8 and 3.13.

3.8. Open Import/Export.

Including Assets in products that provide general import/export functionality for 3D models to end-users (scene editors, content builders, etc.), if this allows for the extraction of Assets "as-is," is prohibited. Such use requires a separate written agreement with the Website.

3.9. Virtual Goods and NFTs.

Issuing, listing, or facilitating the secondary trading of tokens, NFTs, or other digital assets that directly or indirectly represent Assets or provide access to them is prohibited without a separate written agreement with the Website.

3.10. Anti-Warehousing (for Legal Entities only).

Downloading Assets "for future use" without being linked to an active Title ID is prohibited. Each Asset must be linked to a specific Title ID at the moment of Download. A violation shall be classified as an unauthorized download (see Clause 2.2.3) and shall result in measures under Section 4.

Neither Additional Packs, nor subscription restarts or uplifts, cancel the obligation to specify a correct Title ID for each Download (for Legal Entities) and do not legalize the downloading of Assets "for future use."

The following is not considered warehousing: technical caching and backup copies within the framework of current production, provided they are documented, have restricted access, and are prohibited from further distribution.

Signs of a violation may include: systematic mass "Selections" without subsequent integration into materials or builds; distributing downloads among team members to form a shared collection; repeated downloads without a production necessity. A violation of "anti-warehousing" shall entail measures under this Agreement (access restriction, annulment of "Selections", file deletion, payment recalculation, true-up, penalty, injunction).

3.11. Transfer and Distribution of Source Files. Publishing, transferring, selling, gifting, distributing, or otherwise disseminating the source files of Assets and/or their derivatives "as-is" (including, but not limited to, FBX, OBJ, BLEND, MA, MB, maps, textures, materials, shaders, HDRIs, simulations, rigs), as well as materials that allow third parties to obtain such files outside the terms of this Agreement, is prohibited. In particular, it is prohibited to:

a) Publish source files (including modified ones) in public access: repositories, forums, torrents, file-sharing services, stock sites, asset/template marketplaces, Discord, etc.;

b) Include Assets or source files in "packs," scenes, templates, presets, tutorial projects from which they can be extracted without disproportionate effort;

c) Distribute Assets or derivatives under open-source licenses (GPL, LGPL, AGPL, Apache-2.0, MIT, BSD-2/3-Clause, CC-BY, SA, NC and comparable licenses), or include them in projects whose terms oblige the provision of source materials, the right to free modification, distribution, or other unlimited rights to third parties, unless otherwise permitted by the Website in writing;

d) Provide end-users with functionality to export source files from the Work;

e) Publish materials that allow end-users to independently re-download Assets outside the rules of Clause 2.2.5 (RDW/Grace).

An exception is made for cases where, within a single organization (under the corresponding Plan), access for a limited number of employees or contractors "as needed" is permitted, provided protective measures are in place and further transfer is prohibited. Transfer to contractors is permitted only to the extent necessary for work on a specific Work of the licensee and under the terms of Clauses 2.4, 2.5, and Appendices A3/A4 (NDA, prohibition on storage/reuse). Cloud or build services may act as data processors, provided access is limited and distribution does not occur.

3.12. NSFW (18+ Artistic/Anatomical; Graphic/Medical/Reference).

a) Labeling and Access.

— The User shall not remove or distort the NSFW labeling on the Asset Page and in the metadata;

— For 18+ artistic/anatomical content, age-gating (age confirmation; verification, geo-blocking if required by jurisdiction or platform rules) is mandatory.

— For NSFW graphic/medical/reference content, an interstitial screen and/or warning ("sensitive media") is mandatory; age-gating and geo-blocking are required if mandated by law or platform rules.

b) Nature of Content.

— 18+ artistic/anatomical content is provided solely as references or educational materials; it is prohibited to position or use it as erotica or pornography; depictions of sexual intercourse, masturbation, fetish activity, or sexual violence are prohibited.

c) Audience. The use of NSFW content in products and materials targeted at minors is prohibited.

d) Anti-Extraction. Publishing scenes or projects from which Assets can be easily extracted is prohibited (see Clause 3.13); the measures in Clauses 3.7 – 3.8 (packaging, obfuscation, encryption, DRM, disabling export/debug functions) are mandatory.

e) Website's Right. In case of violation of this Clause 3.12, the Website shall be entitled to remove the NSFW Asset, demand cessation of use and deletion of materials; the Website shall not be liable for any related losses incurred by the User.

3.13. Baked-In Derivatives. Publishing maps, atlases, or builds from which the Asset can be reasonably restored "as-is" (e.g., via UV, matching topology, or intact subdivisions) is prohibited. The same prohibitions that apply to the original Assets apply to Baked-In.
