and

 

(b) Kzara Visual (“The Platform”) on behalf of the seller (“Shop Owner”) as the licensor.

 

If you are purchasing on behalf of your employer, then only your employer is the “Licensee” and can use the Licensed Asset subject to the terms of this License Agreement; in that case, you represent and warrant that you have the full legal authority to bind your employer, as the Licensee, to the terms of this License Agreement.

 

1.2 - The number of individual users permitted to access and use the Licensed Asset (as permitted in this Licensee Agreement) is the number of users, selected and paid for at the time of purchase.

Any End Use for Commercial use must: (i) be significantly different than the original Licensed Asset, (ii) require time, effort, and skill to produce and (iii) not derive its primary value from the Licensed Asset itself.

The Licensee may sublicense the Licensee’s rights to third parties in only three situations:

In this instance, the sublicense may only be granted on the condition that the sublicensee is prohibited from extracting, reproducing or using the Licensed Asset in any way other than is necessary in order to exploit the End Use that the Licensee provides to the client.
