Agreement
This Agreement applies to all users of the Sites and Services, including Content Providers and Content Consumers (collectively referred to herein as "You" or "Users").
Content Providers
We will pay the Content Provider the prevailing payout based on the payout schedule available:
- Grant of License: Content Providers hereby grant to us a perpetual, non-exclusive, non-transferable worldwide license to use their Content for the Services and the Permitted Uses (as defined below), and to grant to our Content Consumers the rights to use the Content for the Permitted Uses pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Content Providers also agree that Content Consumers need not attribute the Content to the Content Provider. In other words, Content Consumers do not need to list the name of the Content Provider when displaying/performing/using the Content.
- Derivative Work Ownership and Registration: Content Providers who upload Content to Sites and use the Services hereby grant us the right to encode the Content in any manner seen fit by us, and further grant us the right to register, in our own name, the re-encoded Content as a derivative work which is owned by us.

You further warrant that you are entitled to grant the rights to us as set forth in this Agreement, and that such grant of rights to us is not in violation of any agreement with any third-party, nor in violation of any law of any jurisdiction.
Content Consumers
If you are a Content Consumer, the Content Provider and LiveSwap® hereby grant to you a perpetual, non-exclusive, non-transferable worldwide license to use the Content for the Permitted Uses (as defined below). Unless the activity or use is a Permitted Use, a Content Consumer cannot do it. All other rights in and to the Content, including, without limitation, all copyright and other intellectual property rights relating to the Content, are retained by LiveSwap® or the Content Provider, as the case may be.
- Permitted Uses: Content Consumers may only use the Content for those advertising, promotional and other specified purposes that are Permitted Uses (as defined below). For clarity, Content Consumers may not use the Content in products for resale, license or other distribution, unless (i) the proposed use is allowable under an Extended License if it is available for the Content, and the Content Consumer has paid for such Extended License; or (ii) if the proposed use is allowable under the Exclusive License, and the Content Consumer has paid for such Exclusive License.
- Seat Restrictions: Only the Content Consumer who downloads the Content is permitted to use the Content, although a Content Consumer may transfer files containing Content to (i) those within the Content Consumer's Group Account, or to (ii) clients, printers, or ISP for the purpose of reproduction for Permitted Uses, provided that such parties shall have no further or additional rights to use the Content and cannot access or extract it from any file provided to said party. A Content Consumer may install and use the Content in only one location at a time, although (subject to the Prohibited Uses and the other terms of this Agreement) the Content Consumer is entitled to utilize the Permitted Uses an unlimited number of times. A Content Consumer may physically transfer the Content and its archives from one location to another, in which case a Content Consumer may use the Content at the new location. If a Content Consumer requires the Content to be in more than one location or accessible by more than one person, the Content Consumer must download the Content for each such use. A Content Consumer may make one (1) copy of the Content solely for back-up purposes, and must reproduce all proprietary notices on this single back-up copy.
Types of Licenses
Standard LicenseFree Content & Paid Content
Under the Standard License, Content may be offered for free (the "Free Content"), or for a fee (the “Paid Content”). A Content Consumer may download the Paid Content by either (1) purchasing the Paid Content in a single transaction, or (2) by subscribing to LiveSwap®'s Premium Service ("Premium Service"), which allows Content Consumers to have unlimited access to both the Free Content, the Paid Content, and premium content that is available only to subscribers of the Premium Service.
The license to use any Content is not valid if the Content Consumer's payment is returned or otherwise charged back or is otherwise unpaid for any reason.
All Sales Final; Downloading and Risk of Loss; Availability of Digital Content. All sales of Digital Content are final. We do not accept returns of Digital Content. Once a Content Consumer has purchased Digital Content, we encourage the Content Consumer to download it promptly and to make back-up copies of it. If a Content Consumer is unable to complete a download after having reviewed our online help resources, please contact support at support@liveswap.com. Content Consumers bear all risk of loss after purchase and for any loss of Digital Content that they have downloaded, including any loss due to a computer or hard drive crash. We may, from time to time, remove Digital Content from the Service without notice.
Standard License Permitted Uses
Subject to the restrictions described under Prohibited Uses below, the following are “Permitted Uses” of Content under a Standard License:

Standard License Prohibited Uses
A Content Consumer with a Standard License may not do anything with the Content that is not expressly permitted in the preceding section or permitted by an Extended License or Exclusive License (if the Content Consumer has an Extended License or Exclusive License). For greater certainty, the following are “Prohibited Uses,” and a Content Consumer may not:
- use the Content in design template applications intended for resale, whether on-line or not, including, without limitation, website templates, Flash templates, business card templates, electronic greeting card templates, and brochure design templates;
- use or display the Content on websites or other venues designed to induce or involving the sale, license or other distribution of “on demand” products, including postcards, mugs, t-shirts, posters and other items (this includes custom designed websites, as well as sites such as www.cafepress.com or www.zazzle.com);

- use any of the Content as part of a trade-mark, design-mark, trade-name, business name, service mark, or logo;
- incorporate the Content in any product that results in a re-distribution or re-use of the Content (such as electronic greeting card web sites, web templates and the like) or is otherwise made available in a manner such that a person can extract or access or reproduce the Content as an electronic file;
- use the Content in a fashion that We believe is or under applicable law is considered pornographic, obscene, immoral, infringing, defamatory or libelous in nature, or that would be reasonably likely to bring any person or property reflected in the Content into disrepute;
- use or display any Content that features a model or person in a manner (a) that would lead a reasonable person to think that such person uses or personally endorses any business, product, service, cause, association or other endeavor; or (b) that depicts a person in a potentially sensitive subject matter, including, but not limited to mental and physical health issues, social issues, sexual or implied sexual activity or preferences, substance abuse, crime, physical or mental abuse or ailments, or any other subject matter that would be reasonably likely to be offensive or unflattering to any person reflected in the Content, unless the Content itself clearly and undisputedly reflects the model or person in such potentially sensitive subject matter in which case the Content may be used or displayed in a manner that portrays the model or person in the same context and to the same degree depicted in the Content itself;
- to the extent that source code is contained within the Content, reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble any part of such source code;
- remove any notice of copyright, trade-mark or other proprietary right from any place where it is on or embedded in the Content;
- sub-license, re-sell, rent, lend, assign, gift or otherwise transfer or distribute the Content or the rights granted under this Agreement; however, notwithstanding the restriction on re-sale, if a Content Consumer acquires the Content on behalf of the Content Consumer's client, the Content Consumer may recoup from the client the cost of acquiring the Content.
- install and use the Content in more than one location at a time or post a copy of the Content on a network server or web server for use by other users;
- use or display the Content in an electronic format that enables it to be downloaded or distributed via mobile devices or shared in any peer-to-peer or similar file sharing arrangement;
- use the Content for editorial purposes without including the following credit adjacent to the Content: "©LiveSwap® /Artist's Member Name"; or
- use the Content in whole or in part in any template that is sold, licensed, sublicensed or used by third-parties, including, without limitation, as templates for newsletters, website templates, and themes for content management systems such as WordPress. By way of example, reselling a website template that uses the Content on themeforest.com would be prohibited.
Extended Use License
The Extended License pricing is the pricing set forth at the time of purchase, which is subject to change from time to time in our sole discretion or the sole discretion of the Content Provider. Extended License rights include the following:
- All Standard License Permitted Uses.
- Single item for sale (church bulletin template, book, magazine, post card, t-shirt, CD, or DVD for sale).
- Single website template for resale, provided the resale is a customized website and not simply a resale of an image or other Content in its original or nearly original state.
Even with an Extended License, Content Consumers CANNOT use the Content:
- in its present or modified form for sale, redistribution, resell, lease, license, sub-license, free downloads of the image to any third party.
- as part of a trade-mark, design-mark, trade-name, business name, service mark, or logo.
- on shared drives, intranets, computer networks or the like.
- in such a way as to suggest that the product was created by you.
- for sale on Print on Demand sites.
- for resell except to the extent that it is incorporated into a work you have created for resale.
A Content Consumer with an Extended License may incorporate the Content in a work which is created for resale by the Content Consumer or his/her client (provided that only the complete work is offered for sale and the terms of sale (i) require those that acquire the work to only use the Content for their own personal use or in a work they are creating for a client (ii) prohibit resale of the Content as a stand-alone item).
A Content Consumer with an Extended License may display the Content, and make the Content available for use by an unlimited number of his/her clients, in conjunction with a web site service that is hosted on behalf of these clients. When using the Content through a web site service, Content Consumers may make unlimited copies of the Content, but Content Consumers must ensure that their clients do not reproduce or use the Content in another application.
If the Content is used or incorporated in a work there is no restriction on the number of copies of that work that can be reproduced and distributed.
For example: a Content Consumer may incorporate the Content, such as a photo file, in a calendar that the Content Consumer or the Content Consumer's client distributes commercially. An unlimited number of copies of the calendar may be made and sold but the Content cannot be incorporated in more than one calendar or other work. Additionally, buyers of the calendar must not offer the Content (that is the photo/file) for sale, such as on a site like iStockphoto.com.
Exclusive Use License
The Exclusive License rights include all rights set forth in the Standard License and the Extended License, plus the right to use the Content for:
- Company logos
- Website templates
- Book cover art
Exclusive License pricing is the pricing set forth at the time of purchase, which is subject to change from time to time in the sole discretion of LiveSwap® and/or the Content Provider. Use of the particular Content will not be licensed again from LiveSwap®, and only uses that have been previously licensed by the Content Provider or by LiveSwap® will remain valid. Exclusive Licenses do not give a Content Consumer the right to sell the Content as a template, single image, collection of images or in any other manner otherwise restricted in this Agreement. The purpose of the Exclusive Use license is to provide reasonable assurance that the particular Content has not been excessively used or licensed, and to extend the rights to use the Content for logos and cover art.
General Terms and Conditions of Use of the Site for All Content Consumers
Term
This Agreement shall remain effective until termination. For Content Consumers, termination occurs when you destroy your copies of the Content along with any copies or archives of it or accompanying materials (if applicable), and cease to use the Content for any purpose.

All previously granted licenses remain in full force, but after termination or cancellation, we will no longer use the Content or offer the Content to Content Consumers.
We may terminate this Agreement at any time and reissue a new or amended license provided that such new or amended license will not materially impair any previously granted licenses for previously purchased Content.

If Content is alleged to violate any third-party rights, we may immediately remove the Content, terminate all rights granted to any user for such Content, and request that any user cease use of the Content.
