Licensing terms
Licensing and Subscriptions
This Licensing and Subscriptions Agreement (the “Agreement”) concluded by FreePixel (“FreePixel”, “us”, and “our”) and an individual user (the “user”, “you”, and “your”) of the website https://www.freepixel.com/ (the “Website”) governs the use of graphic resources obtained through the Website (collectively the “Graphics” and individually the “Graphic”), and the use of FreePixel proprietary Tools and Services (including but not limited to PSD Templates, Online Makers, Customer support, and widgets; henceforth named the "tools" or "services").
By using the Website and downloading the Graphics, you agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. If you do not agree with one or more provisions of this Agreement, you are not authorized to use the Website and download the Graphics.
What types of Licenses and Subscriptions does FreePixel offer?
FreePixel offers different licenses and license plans ("subscriptions" or "plans") that apply to the use of its Graphics and Tools. When purchasing the Graphics, the users can opt for three types of licensing modalities, namely, the individual licenses that apply to every FreePixel Graphic published on the Website and monthly, annual or custom subscription plans for downloading Graphics and using our services (the “Subscriptions”). FreePixel also provides a Free option, which does not allow for any Commercial use, and requires Attribution for the use of its graphics.
What purposes can Graphics be used for?
Your use of the Graphics is subject to the limits and regulations applicable to the particular type of the Individual Licenses or the Subscriptions purchased by you. The list of uses indicated in this Section is non-exhaustive and includes only a part of the possible uses of the Graphics. If you would like to use the Graphics for special purposes drastically different from those mentioned in this Section, please contact FreePixel by using the contact details indicated of this Agreement in advance for obtaining our prior consent.
Registration of the Account.
In order to sign up for the Subscriptions, you are required to create an account on the Website (the “Account”).
Cancellation of the Subscription.
The Subscriptions can be cancelled at any time. The users can opt for a refund only if the cancellation of the Subscriptions is requested within 15 days commencing on the date of signing up for the chosen type of the Subscriptions, and the user must have downloaded no more than 30 graphics in that time period. If the Subscriptions are cancelled within such a time period of 15 days, the Graphics downloaded by the user will be erased from the Account and become unavailable.
Design requests
Design Requests are a core feature of FreePixel subscriptions that allow users to request for a design they either can't find or would like to exist in the FreePixel Library, which the FreePixel Design Team will design for them, under certain conditions. FreePixek has the right at all times to reject a Design Request if it's considered not to be either appropriate or useful for the site.
All the requests will follow these criteria:
The design you receive is always going to be a FreePixel version of what you asked for, never an identical copy of any reference you might have sent or any description that you have asked for
All designs are going to be influenced by our designers’ unique style
They will be sent to subscribers in the format FreePixel considers suitable for the type of design.
There will not be Design revisions, except rare and select cases.
When requesting sets of images, we might do smaller collections than what the references show, depending on the complexity. A member of our team will contact you about this so both parts are on the same page before moving forward.
A request will be rejected if:
It asks for a specific logo or individual project that would not be useful as relevant content for the site
It includes trademarked or copyrighted content
It’s borderline infringing in copyright, trademark or otherwise legally questionable content
It asks for content that is sexually explicit, defamatory, abusive, profane, hateful, ethnically, racially, borderline or otherwise objectionable.
It asks for a design that is identical or very similar to what is already available on the site.
It does not fit FreePixel internal, non-disclosed criteria for design
Design Requests’ Intellectual Property
The intellectual property of the designs created through the Design Request process is of FreePixel and will always remain to be so.
Subscribers who request a design accept that they do not own the intellectual property of the designs created via the Design Request Feature.
Design Request Limits
Depending on which type of subscription you have is the limit of requests you can do per month.
Design Request Turnaround Time
Design requests usually take between 4 to 5 business days to get delivered after the request is approved by FreePixel.
However, there might be occasions where designs can be delayed further. In such cases, FreePixel will contact the user affected.
Design Request Revisions
Design Requests don’t have revisions, except typography mistakes or very exceptional cases.
Liability
FreePixel will not be held liable for any rejections, takedowns, suspensions, terminations or any kind of activity that happens to users accounts on any given platform. Each account owner is the sole responsible for the use of our designs, their accounts and the product information they submit.
