File Download Terms of Use Agreement

CONTENT LICENSE AGREEMENT This Agreement governs the terms by which clients of Scrolling Impressions obtain the right to use stock photographic, illustrations, animations, video, footage, and other media content provided by Scrolling Impressions through the web site located at www.scrollingimpressions.com (the “Site”). This Content License Agreement is in addition to the Terms of Use applicable to the Site that all persons downloading content from the Site have previously entered into. In the event of any inconsistency between this Agreement and the Terms of Use (both of which are incorporated into this Agreement by reference), the terms of this Agreement shall govern. 1. Background of Agreement (a) This is a fairly lengthy document, and it contains many important provisions that affect your rights and obligations. By selecting the correct box at the end of this Agreement and typing “I Agree” or otherwise signifying your acceptance, you accept this Agreement either for yourself or on behalf of your employer or other entity, and agree to be bound by its provisions. If you are accepting on behalf of your employer or other entity, you represent and warrant that you have full legal authority to bind your employer or such other entity. If you do not have such authority or you do not accept or agree with these terms, do not accept the Agreement and do not download the Content. (b) In this Agreement: (i) “you” or the “Client” means you or, if you are accepting on behalf of your employer or entity, then “you” means that employer or entity and affiliates; (ii) “Scrolling Impressions” or “we” means Scrolling Impressions, operator of the Site; and (iii) “Content” means any photographic image, illustration, animation, Flash file, film or video footage, visual representation generated optically, electronically, digitally or by any other means or in any media or other material that you are downloading from the Site, together with any accompanying material. (c) This Agreement is set up as a user-determined document where you will choose to enter into either our standard royalty-free content license (the “Standard License”) or an extended license where one or more of the restrictions of the Standard License are amended for your proposed use of the Content (an “Extended License”). At the end of this Agreement you will have the opportunity to select a “Standard License” or an “Extended License”. The options for the Extended License uses are dependent upon the Content and whether the supplier of the Content has opted-in to the extended license options. If you do not specify an Extended License or there is no Extended License option for the Content you have requested, your download of Content will be subject to the Standard License. 2. Standard License Terms We 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, you 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 Scrolling Impressions, as the case may be. 3. Permitted Standard License Uses: (a) You may only use the Content for those advertising, promotional and other specified purposes which are Permitted Uses (as defined below). For clarity, you may not use the Content in products for resale, license or other distribution, unless (i) the proposed use is allowable under an Extended License which is available for the Content; or (ii) if the original Content has been fundamentally modified or transformed sufficiently that it constitutes an original work entitling the author or artist to copyright protection under applicable law, and where the primary value of such transformed or derivative work is not recognizable as the Content nor is the Content capable of being downloaded, extracted or accessed by a third party as a stand-alone file (satisfaction of these conditions will constitute the work as a “Permitted Derivative Work” for the purposes of this Agreement). For example, you cannot superficially modify the Content, print it on a t-shirt, mug, poster, template or other item, and sell it to others for consumption, reproduction or re-sale. These uses will not be permitted as or constitute Permitted Derivative Works. Any use of the Content that is not a Permitted Use shall constitute infringement of copyright. (b) Seat Restrictions. Only you are permitted to use the Content, although you may transfer files containing Content or Permitted Derivative Works to your 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 you provide. You 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, you are entitled to utilize the Permitted Uses an unlimited number of times. You may physically transfer the Content and its archives from one location to another, in which case you may use the Content at the new location instead. If you require the Content to be in more than one location or accessible by more than one person, you must download the Content from the Site for each such use. You may make one (1) copy of the Content solely for back-up purposes, and you must reproduce all proprietary notices on this single back-up copy. (c) Permitted Uses. Subject to the restrictions described under Prohibited Uses below, the following are “Permitted Uses” of Content: 1. advertising and promotional projects, including printed materials, product packaging, presentations, film and video presentations, commercials, catalogues, brochures, promotional greeting cards and promotional postcards (ie. not for resale or license); 2. entertainment applications, such as books and book covers, magazines, newspapers, editorials, newsletters, and video, broadcast and theatrical presentations; 3. on–line or electronic publications, including web pages to a maximum of 800 x 600 pixels; 4. prints, posters (i.e. a hardcopy) and other reproductions for personal use or promotional purposes specified in (1) above, but not for resale, license or other distribution; and 5. any other uses approved in writing by Scrolling Impressions. If there is any doubt that a proposed use is a Permitted Use, you should contact Scrolling Impressions. 4. Standard License Prohibitions (a) Prohibited Uses. You may not do anything with the Content that is not expressly permitted in the preceding section or permitted by an Extended License. For greater certainty, the following are “Prohibited Uses” and you may not: 1. 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; 2. 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); 3. use the Content in any posters (printed on paper, canvas or any other media) or other items for resale, license or other distribution for profit; 4. use any of the Content as part of a trade-mark, design-mark, trade-name, business name, service mark, or logo; 5. 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; 6. use the Content in a fashion that is considered by Scrolling Impressions (acting reasonably) as 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; 7. use or display any Content that features a model or person in a manner that (i) would lead a reasonable person to think that such person uses or personally endorses any business, product, service, cause, association or other endeavour; or (ii) that depicts such 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; 8. to the extent that source code is contained within the Content, reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble any part of such source code; 9. remove any notice of copyright, trade-mark or other proprietary right from any place where it is on or embedded in the Content; 10. sub-license, re-sell, rent, lend, assign, gift or otherwise transfer or distribute the Content or the rights granted under this Agreement; 11. 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; 12. 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; 13. use the Content for editorial purposes without including the following credit adjacent to the Content: “©Scrolling Impressions; or 14. either individually or in combination with others, reproduce the Content, or an element of the Content, in excess of 500,000 times without obtaining written permission from Scrolling Impressions. 5.

You can terminate this Agreement by destroying the Content and any Permitted Derivative Works, along with any copies or archives of it or accompanying materials (if applicable), and ceasing to use the Content for any purpose.

Upon termination, you must immediately (i) cease using the Content and for any purpose; (ii) destroy or delete all copies and archives of the Content or accompanying materials; and (iii) if requested, confirm to Scrolling Impressions in writing that you have complied with these requirements. (b) Scrolling Impressions reserves the right to elect at a later date to revoke or amend the license granted by this Agreement and replace the Content with an alternative for any reason. Upon notice, sent to the address or contact information provided by you, or such other address as you may advise us in writing to use, from time to time, of such replacement, the license for the replaced Content immediately terminates for any products that do not already exist, and this license automatically applies to the replacement Content. You agree not to use the replaced Content, or any Permitted Derivative Works, for future products and to take all reasonable steps to discontinue use of the replaced Content, or any Permitted Derivative Works, in products that already exist. 6.
