Content Licence
Version 1.0
This licence sets out how you may use the templates and assets in the library of this service. In short: you may use them for free, commercially too, without credit, but you may not sell or share them as they are, copy the library, or use them to train AI. This summary is for orientation only; sections 1 to 12 apply.
1. Scope
(1) This licence applies to the templates, photos, images, graphics, illustrations, backgrounds and other content offered in the template and asset library of this service ("Library Content"). "We", "us" and "our" mean the operator of this service as named in its imprint and in its Terms and Conditions.
(2) Library Content includes content that other users have published to the library ("Community Content"). We grant you this licence for Community Content to the extent its publisher has granted us the necessary rights (section 9 (7) of our Terms and Conditions).
(3) This licence does not apply to:
a) fonts: each font is licensed under its own licence, named where the font is offered (for example the SIL Open Font License);
b) items for which the library names a different licence: that licence applies to them instead;
c) content that you add yourself.
2. Acceptance
By using or downloading Library Content, or by including it in a design, you accept this licence. If you have an account, this licence also forms part of your agreement with us under our Terms and Conditions.
3. What you may do
(1) We grant you a non-exclusive, worldwide licence, free of charge and unlimited in time, to copy, edit, adapt and combine Library Content, and to distribute, make available to the public and otherwise use it as part of your own designs and other works ("End Products"), for private and commercial purposes.
(2) In particular, you may:
a) use End Products in any medium, in print and online (for example on websites and social media, in presentations, videos, advertising, packaging and printed matter), with no limit on copies, print runs or views;
b) sell or give away End Products, including physical goods such as posters, cards or clothing, as long as the End Product is your own design and not the Library Content itself (section 4 (1));
c) make End Products for a client and hand them over; your client may use the End Product within this licence, but not the Library Content on its own;
d) download Library Content that the library offers for download, and use it outside this service in End Products;
e) have End Products printed or produced by others, such as a print shop, or by us when you order a print from us.
(3) You do not need to credit us or the publisher. A credit is welcome, but optional.
(4) Where Library Content is not protected by copyright or a related right, sections 4 to 10 nevertheless apply to its use as an agreement between you and us.
(5) Prints and other products that you buy from us are yours to keep, even after your plan ends or changes: you may use, display, give away and resell them. Buying them gives you no rights in the Library Content they show beyond those this licence grants. The purchase itself is governed by the terms of your order.
4. What you may not do
(1) You may not sell, license, share or otherwise make available Library Content on its own, or in a form that allows others to extract it or use it as such. This includes:
a) offering it on stock, template, asset, wallpaper or print-on-demand sites, in marketplaces, or in packs, collections or apps;
b) selling it unchanged or with only minor changes, for example a poster or print that consists essentially of a photo from the library; reselling prints you bought from us remains allowed (section 3 (5));
c) distributing it outside this service as a template or other editable file intended to let others make their own designs;
d) offering it as an NFT or other digital token.
(2) You may not collect, copy or download Library Content by automated means, or in bulk beyond what you need for your own End Products, and you may not use it to build or operate a library, service, app or database that offers it to others or competes with ours.
(3) You may not use Library Content to train, fine-tune, test or evaluate artificial intelligence or machine-learning systems, or to compile datasets for these purposes. We expressly reserve the use of Library Content for text and data mining (section 44b of the German Copyright Act, Article 4 (3) of Directive (EU) 2019/790). This does not stop you from editing your End Products with the tools of this service, including its AI features.
(4) You may not register or claim a trademark, design or other exclusive right in Library Content, or in a logo or other sign whose distinctive element is Library Content. You may not present Library Content as your own creation, and you may not assert rights in it against others, for example by sending takedown notices against other users of the same content.
(5) You may not use Library Content:
a) in a way that is unlawful or infringes the rights of others;
b) in pornographic, defamatory, hateful, discriminatory or violence-glorifying content;
c) in a misleading way, in particular to present AI-generated or edited images as genuine photographs of real people, places or events, or for fake reviews, testimonials or news;
d) to suggest that a person shown endorses you, a product, a service or an opinion, or to show a person in a sensitive context (such as health, sexuality, crime, politics or religion) in a way that would be offensive or defamatory if the person were real. People shown in Library Content may be generated or real.
(6) You may not remove or alter information embedded in or attached to Library Content that identifies it as created or edited with artificial intelligence, or that identifies its origin.
5. Content for paid plans
(1) Some Library Content is available only with certain paid plans. You may use it, including in prints you order from us, while your plan includes it.
(2) End Products that you finished while your plan included that content (exported, downloaded, printed or published) remain licensed under this licence after your plan ends or changes.
(3) To edit an End Product that contains such content, to export it again, to order a print of it from us, or to create a new End Product with it, you need a plan that includes the content.
6. AI-generated content; no exclusivity
(1) Some Library Content is created wholly or partly with artificial intelligence. We label such content where we can.
(2) Library Content, AI-generated content in particular, may not be protected by copyright, and the same or similar content may be available to others, from us or elsewhere. This licence does not grant you any exclusive right.
7. Ownership
(1) We, our licensors or, for Community Content, its publisher retain all rights in Library Content. This licence does not transfer any rights; rights not expressly granted remain reserved.
(2) Your own contributions to an End Product remain yours.
(3) This licence grants no rights in trademarks, logos, product designs, buildings, works of art or likenesses of persons that may appear in Library Content. If you use them, you are responsible for making sure that you may.
8. Reports and withdrawn items
(1) If you believe that an item infringes rights or breaks the law, please report it through the reporting function of this service or to the contact point named in our Terms and Conditions.
(2) We may remove items from the library at any time. If we tell you that an item may no longer be used (for example because of a third-party claim), you may no longer use it in new End Products, and you must stop using it in existing End Products where you can reasonably do so.
9. Liability
Our liability is governed by the liability provisions of our Terms and Conditions. Nothing in this licence limits liability that cannot be limited by law.
10. Breach
If you breach this licence, your rights under it end with immediate effect for all further use. End Products that you finished in compliance with this licence before the breach remain licensed. Our statutory rights remain unaffected.
11. Versions and changes
(1) This is version 1.0 of the Content Licence (LicenseRef-SAT-Content-1.0). The library shows which licence applies to each item.
(2) We may publish new versions. A new version applies from its effective date to Library Content that you obtain, or use in a new End Product, from then on. End Products you finished earlier remain licensed under the version that applied when you finished them.
12. Applicable law, jurisdiction, language
(1) This licence is governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. If you are a consumer, this does not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which you have your habitual residence.
(2) Jurisdiction is governed by section 18 (2) of our Terms and Conditions.
(3) This licence is available in English and German. If the two differ, the German version prevails.
(4) If any provision of this licence is invalid, the remaining provisions remain valid.
