License Agreement

Last updated November 18, 2023

short and to the point:

You can use our assets for any project, no matter how big or commercial it is. All we don't want you to do is to share our files with people who didn't buy them or resell our stuff. For All Access subscriptions, your license is only active with a paid subscription - letting it lapse voids the license, limiting usage.

in legal words:

The following Content License Agreement (“CLA”) is a legal agreement between you and ACIDBITE (“we,” “us” and “our”), and governs your use of the Content (as defined below) licensed by you and any customer support or services provided by us in connection with such Content. Your use of the Content is subject to this CLA and all applicable laws, rules and regulations. Please read this CLA carefully and contact us with any questions.

• “Content” means the particular media (e.g. image files, video files, audio files, templates, project files, data files, etc.) that you license through any Websites, along with any related materials, modifications and updates, if any, provided to you by us.

• “Project” – means an audio/visual project to which Content is added or synchronized.

• “End Product” means a work created by you into which the Content is to be incorporated pursuant to the license granted in this CLA. Examples of End Products include websites, games, presentations, online videos, corporate videos, films, television shows and advertisements.

• “Website” means www.acidbite.com (website's entire content)

 

Subject to, and in accordance with, the terms of this Agreement, by licensing a Product, ACIDBITE grants you the limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, worldwide right and license, to modify (subject to related restrictions) and use the Content in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Agreement, and the relevant Product License as applicable.

The Content is for your own personal or organizational usage only. You may use the Content for your personal Projects and/or professional Projects you undertake for your clients, subject to the terms of the specific License you purchase.


The Content may only be downloaded onto computers, mobile devices, storage devices or cloud accounts owned by you personally or by the entity for whom you are entering this Agreement on behalf of.

You may not store the Content anywhere that is accessible by third parties who have not purchased a license. Group buys, where multiple parties pool funds to purchase licenses to the Products, are expressly prohibited and void your License.

You agree to disable access immediately upon completion of the Project and they shall have no license to use the Content in any other projects, regardless of their relationship to you.

You may provide the Content to your clients only in the context of a completed Project in which the Content is inextricably integrated.

With any of our licenses you may use the Content in Projects that you distribute on online video platforms, but ACIDBITE retains full ownership of the Content and all related files.

Additionally, you may be required to provide proof of your ACIDBITE License when uploading videos that utilize the Content to online video platforms.
