License Agreement

  1. This license agreement (hereinafter: “License Agreement” or “Agreement”) governs the Licensee’s use of digital content (hereinafter: “Licensed Item” or “Work”), for which the Licensee obtains a license by means of a purchase through Creatsy.com, managed by Creatsy Spółka z o.o. (hereinafter referred to as “Creatsy” or “Licensor”). By purchasing, downloading or using the Works, the Licensee acknowledges that they have read this License Agreement and accepts its provisions.

    The Licensee represents and acknowledges that by completing the purchase and selecting “place order,” they have read the entire License Agreement and agrees with its provisions. This Agreement is concluded upon the Licensee’s acceptance of its provisions.

    Creatsy offers two types of license agreements, and the one selected by the Licensee at the time of purchase applies to the Licensee’s use of the Works.

    Creatsy offers the following types of license agreements:
    - Standard Commercial;
    - Extended Commercial.

    The agreements differ in terms of the scope of the Licensee’s possible use of the Works. If the Licensee does not select an Extended Commercial License, this Agreement shall govern their use of the Works.


    1. This Agreement is entered into by and between:

      1. Creatsy Spółka z ograniczoną odpowiedzialnością, with its registered office in Katowice, Poland (hereinafter referred to as: “Creatsy” or “Licensor”)

      2. the Licensee – a natural person, legal person or entity without legal personality who acquires the Works during the purchase.

    2. If the user acquires the Work on behalf of their employer, only their employer shall be considered the “Licensee” under this Agreement, which means that only they may use the Works under the terms of this Agreement. If the user agrees to the terms of the Agreement on behalf of their employer or other entity, they represent and warrant that they have full right and power to do so. If the user does not have the appropriate authorisation, then the employer may not use the Works in the manner indicated in the Agreement. In addition, in the absence of such authorisation, the user shall be personally liable towards Creatsy for any breach of this Agreement.

    3. This Agreement relates to the granting of a Standard Commercial License, which means that the number of individual users entitled to access and use the Works (in accordance with the provisions of this License Agreement) is equal to the number of users (or sites) selected and paid for at the time of purchase. If the Licensee requires additional users (or sites), they shall purchase additional licenses for the Works.

    4. Limitations on the number of workstations/users apply to the file or Work before processing, not to the final design or product. If more users intend to use the Work, the Licensee shall purchase an additional license for the Works.


  2. Definitions used in this Agreement shall mean:

    1. Commercial Use – any use of the Works that:

      1. is related to the payment of money or other remuneration; or

      2. involves the promotion of the company (regardless of its form of operation), the company’s product or the service provided by the company; or

      3. is aimed at financial gain or other remuneration (revenue).

      Only one of the three above criteria must be met for the use to be considered “Commercial.”

    2. Non-Comercial Use (Personal) – any use for solely personal purposes; any use that meets the definition of Commercial use can not be a Non-commercial use.

    3. Distribution Within a Local Market – distribution or display of advertisements within a 200-mile (320 km) radius within the borders of a single nation/country.

    1. Third-party use of the Works requires a separate license.

    2. The rights granted to Licensee are non-transferable and non-sublicensable, which means that the Licensee may not transfer these rights to another person or grant sublicenses to any other person, except for the limited rights to grant sublicenses described in paragraph 3 below.

    2. The Licensee may not claim any ownership rights to the Works or any rights to revenue from collecting societies for photocopying, digital copying or other secondary use of the Works. Any reference to the “purchase” or “sale” (or similar expressions) of Works shall refer only to the purchase of a limited license and not to the purchase of the copyright or the Work itself. The Licensee’s ownership of the medium and/or device on which the Works in question are recorded, if any, is separate from the ownership, title or interest of, to or in the Work itself, and the Agreement does not grant the Licensee this right.
