The educational facility shall be responsible for ensuring that all users of a multi-user educational license comply with these Terms of Use.

Business licenses - Business Licenses are custom agreements designed for specific commercial use cases. Typical business uses include demonstrating a commercial product in public (such as live demos, online presentations, or within applications), internal product development and testing, or training AI and machine learning models. The scope, duration, footage amount, and quality level licensed will be defined in a separate written agreement between the Company and the Licensee.

Content licensed under a Business License may not be distributed, transferred, or provided to any third party as samples, giveaways, or bundled with any resold product. The Licensee must maintain control of the Content at all times and may not allow any end user, customer, or unrelated third party to access or reuse the Content independently. The Content may never become part of a product or service offered for sale or download.

The Company maintains samples of content on its website for the sole purpose of allowing you to evaluate suitability for licensing.
