This agreement (this "Agreement") is binding on any member of deviantART(the "Non-Exclusive Downloading Member") who downloads a photograph, illustration, image or other pictorial or graphic work (the "Work") from the Free Images gallery at the deviantART Stock Project group site on deviantART.com. The Non-Exclusive Downloading Member acknowledges and agrees that he or she is bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement and that this Agreement applies to each Work that the Non-Exclusive Downloading Member downloads.

No Sale

The Non-Exclusive Downloading Member acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement does not result in any sale of the Work. Except for the rights specifically sublicensed under this Agreement, the Non-Exclusive Downloading Member does not have any right, title or interest in or to, and in any event shall have no ownership of, the Work, including any copyright and other intellectual property rights.

Sublicense

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Fotolia LLC, the licensor of the Work, hereby grants to the Non-Exclusive Downloading Member a non-exclusive, perpetual, worldwide, non-transferable sublicense to use, reproduce or display the Work an unlimited number of times in the authorized media solely for (a) personal or educational purposes and (b) in connection with the operation of a business. However, the Non-Exclusive Downloading Member shall have no right to sell or otherwise distribute the Work or any reproductions thereof to any third parties, whether alone or incorporated or together with or onto any item of merchandise or other work of authorship, in any media or format now or hereafter known. Notwithstanding the above, the Non-Exclusive Downloading Member shall have the right to sell or distribute the Work solely as incorporated onto an item of merchandise or other work of authorship if the Work has been modified to the extent that it is no longer substantially similar to the original Work (where such modification may be in the form of changes to the Work itself or the incorporation of the Work into other Non-Fotolia image(s), such as a collage), provided however that the modification must be sufficient enough to qualify as an original work of authorship. Furthermore, the Non-Exclusive Downloading Member shall have the right to sell or distribute the Work solely as incorporated onto an item of merchandise or other work of authorship if the primary value of the item being sold or distributed does not lie with the Work(s) themselves. For greater clarity, it is noted that reproducing the unmodified Work on mugs, t-shirts, posters, or other similar merchandise for resale is not permitted, as primary value would still lie in the Work itself. The Work may also be distributed free of charge in the form of advertising and promotional material, such as brochures, flyers, and the like. The Non-Exclusive Downloading Member shall have no right to grant further sublicenses. The Non-Exclusive Downloading Member shall have the right to transfer files containing the Work or permitted derivative works to employees, or have the Work reproduced by subcontractors, provided that such employees and subcontractors agree to abide by the restrictions of this agreement. In the normal course of workflow, the Non-Exclusive Downloading Member may also convey to a third party (such as a printer) temporary copies of the Work that are integral to the work product and without which the work product could not be completed. Third parties, employees and subcontractors shall have no further or additional rights to use the Work and cannot access or extract it from any other file provided. The Non-Exclusive Downloading Member may create a digital library, network configuration or similar arrangement to allow the Work to be viewed by their employees, partners and clients. If applicable, the Non-Exclusive Downloading Member shall pay to Fotolia a sublicense fee in accordance with Fotolia’s Standard pricing and payment policies . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, with respect to electronic formats, the Non-Exclusive Downloading Member’s reproduction, distribution or display of the Work shall be limited to a resolution of 1,000 x 1,000 pixels in website uses (regardless of the resolution of the Work available for downloading from the deviantART.com website), and shall be limited to the resolution available for downloading from the deviantART.com website in other electronic uses. For clarification purposes but subject to the foregoing restrictions, it is intended that this sublicense shall permit use, reproduction and display of the Work in or for a business or commercial setting or circumstances, display in an office or other place of business, on advertising and promotion materials, and the like.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement (including, without limitation, the restriction in subsection 3(a) below), the Non-Exclusive Downloading Member may utilize all the rights under this Agreement for itself, and additionally, on behalf of one (1) of its clients. As such, the Non-Exclusive Downloading Member may sublicense its rights and obligations hereunder to one (1) such client, and such client shall have all the rights, restrictions and obligations under this Agreement, but without the right to further sublicense these rights to additional parties. If the Non-Exclusive Downloading Member desires to use the Work on behalf of more than one (1) client, then the Non-Exclusive Downloading Member will have to download and pay for additional license(s) to the same Work. Notwithstanding the above, a Work must not be used in a way that places any person in the photo or the author in a bad light or depicts them in a way that they may find offensive (pornography, violence...). Fotolia and deviantART reserve the right to instruct the Non-Exclusive Downloading Member to cease all use, distribution and possession of such Work, and the Non-Exclusive Downloading Member must promptly comply with such instructions.
