If you refuse to accept a contractual obligation through this license agreement, you are not permitted to access, download, or use the Stock Art. Please thoroughly and carefully read through this Agreement before purchasing, downloading, installing and/or using the Stock Art, ANY OF WHICH SHALL INDICATE YOUR EXPRESS AGREEMENT TO THE FOLLOWING TERMS AND CONDITIONS.
The Stock Art licensed under this Agreement is supplied to you by YouWorkForThem for USAGE ONLY, and remains the intellectual property of the designer(s) of the Stock Art.
YouWorkForThem and/or the designer(s) reserve all rights not expressly granted to you under this Agreement.
Upon receipt by YouWorkForThem of all applicable fees, and subject to your compliance with all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, you are granted a non-exclusive, terminable and non-transferable license to use the Stock Art in accordance with the following terms and conditions. You may not exceed the scope of this license. If you have negotiated and agreed to any additional terms and conditions, those must be in writing and signed or sent by YouWorkForThem, and must incorporate this Agreement by reference.
1. PERMITTED INSTALLATIONS AND USES
Use of the Stock Art is strictly and explicitly limited to the number of End Users declared and paid for at time of purchase. For a single license purchase, the Stock Art may be installed on not more than two (2) devices, such as desktop or laptop computer workstations, notebooks, netbooks, tablets, and/or smartphones. If the Stock Art will be installed on more than two (2) devices, a Multi-User Extension must be purchased (see Section 5.1 for more detail). If you are a company purchasing a Multi-User Extension for your employees, your employees may use the Stock Art anywhere in the world, subject to the terms of this Agreement. You must notify all employees of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and you are responsible for all actions of the employees.
1.1 DESIGN USES
Use of the Stock Art in the creation of design works for your personal use is permitted. If you design or create works for third parties, such as clients, you are considered a “Designer” and you may use the Stock Art to design or create such works for those third parties, provided that the use by those third parties is subject to the obligations and restrictions (but none of the privileges of the Stock Art license) in this Agreement as if those third parties were you, and provided that you notify those third parties of those obligations and restrictions in writing. You may not allow any third party to use your copy of the Stock Art. You may not send or transfer the Stock Art, or any copy of the Stock Art, to any third party. You may use the Stock Art to print multiple copies of products, including clothing, packaging, posters, coffee mugs or similar commercial products, provided you do not exceed the 250,000 instance limit as defined in 5.3 below or violate any of the other restrictions in this Agreement. You may use the Stock Art to create a company logo, subject to the restrictions in Sections 4 and 5 below. Other restrictions to the use of the Stock Art are also set forth in those sections.
1.2 ONE STOCK ART BACK-UP
You are permitted to keep a single backup copy of licensed Stock Art in the cloud, locally on a desktop, laptop or mobile device, or on a studio server. You must be the only party who maintains or has access to this backup copy. The Stock Art may not be sub-licensed, sold, leased, rented, lent, or given away to any other person or entity.
1.3 SERVICE PROVIDERS
In the event that you require the services of a service provider, such as a commercial printer, you are permitted to transfer a single copy of the required Stock Art to that specific service provider. Upon completion of your job, the service provider must delete the Stock Art or purchase their own license. It is your responsibility to inform the service provider about this requirement. Allowing use of the Stock Art by any third party in ANY OTHER CIRCUMSTANCE is prohibited.
2. REFUNDS
The Stock Art may be exchanged only if defective. If you wish to claim a refund you must (a) certify that no copy of the Stock Art remains in your possession or control and (b) provide proof of a valid sale and a valid sales receipt from YouWorkForThem, and (c) provide other information requested by YouWorkForThem to support your claim. All claims for a refund must be made within one (1) week of purchase.
3. LIMITED EMBEDDING

4. RESTRICTIONS
You may not use the Stock Art to create a trademark/logo for a brand without altering it in some way--it’s already copyrighted as is.
