Pro / Business License
We believe that licensing of high quality creative assets doesn’t have to be complicated. That’s why we've created this simple, transparent and straightforward license for all users.
Before we start, when we refer to “Assets”, we mean Artlist’s stock catalog, which includes music, sound effects, footage, and video templates available for download through Artlist’s platform. ‘Assets’ also include any AI-generated content created by or on behalf of Artlist and made available on the Site for editing, modification, or download, subject to the subscription plan you select.
When we refer to AI “Output”, we mean content you create using Artlist’s AI Services, such as voiceovers, footage, audio-visual content, and still images. The license terms that apply to AI Services and AI Output are described in detail in the Terms of Use or the Business Terms of Use, as applicable to your subscription.
1. We cover everything
But what does “everything” mean? Here’s what's covered:
- YouTube
- TikTok
- Vimeo
- Twitch
- Commercials
- Broadcasting(i)
- Websites
- Wedding Videos
Under the Max Business plan, the following uses are also covered:
- Audiobooks, DVDs, Blu-ray
- Out-of-home and billboard advertisements
(i) Broadcasting of your Projects is allowed in accordance with section 9 here. If you operate as a broadcaster, you are required to hold a Max Business plan or an Enterprise Agreement, as further detailed in Section 11.
In what formats/mediums?
- Video clips
- Advertisements
- Films
- Series
- Podcasts
- Animations
- Presentations
- Slides
If you want to use the Assets in any other formats or use-cases, you’ll probably need an Enterprise license. See more under #11.
2. Your Projects are yours to use Forever
For now and for all future time. Eternally.
Once you create Projects using downloaded Assets and publish them in any media during your subscription term, you can keep using your Projects in the same media and monetize them forever, even after your subscription has expired.
You're covered to create and publish your Projects while your account is active. When your subscription expires, those Projects can remain published in any media, but any new projects will not be covered.
3. You can download as many Assets as you want
As long as you keep it reasonable, you can download as many Assets as you want during your subscription and use them in as many Projects as you wish.
“Reasonable” means that you can download up to 40 songs, 100 SFX, 40 templates, and/or 100 clips/footage/animations/3D per day.
4. You should only use the Assets as a part of your creations
Simple as it sounds, this means that, as a creator, you should only incorporate the Assets into your creation.
What doesn’t count as your creation?
For all Assets: Reproducing, distributing, re-selling or any other usage of the Assets as standalone package.
This means you can’t use or allow anyone to use the Assets as separate files for listening, viewing, downloading, publicly performing, use as a template or any other similar use whatsoever.
5. Having a “License” means using, not owning
In other words, you’re purchasing the right to use the Assets. You’re not purchasing the Assets themselves.
The Assets remain protected by copyrights and intellectual property of Artlist or its artists.
6. The Assets are available for all Artlist creators
We believe in creative freedom.
That's why this License is not exclusive, meaning that any Asset you use can also be purchased and used by your fellow creators.
7. AI Services License
We may provide you with access to certain AI tools, such as our voiceover, footage, and still image generators (“AI Services”). These features are designed to support and inspire your creativity, helping you produce Output and enhance your overall creative experience.
When you use our AI Services, you may provide us with inputs, such as text prompts, images, videos, audio or any other material that you choose to share with us (“Inputs”).
When you use our AI Services to generate AI Output, your quota of credits or characters is determined by your subscription plan. Credits are deducted from your quota at the time of generation, even if you choose not to download the generated content.
8. Forbidden Use of Assets and AI Services
You may not:
- Use Assets or Output in any manner that is illegal.
- Use Assets in connection with: (i) pornography; (ii) promoting or encouraging violence, racism, or discrimination.
- Use Assets to mislead, misinform, misrepresent, or misappropriate.
- Generate Output in a manner that gives rise to a trademark-related claim, including use of such Output in trade or commerce.
9. One license means one seat
The name you register for our services is the only person or entity who can use the Assets under this License, one seat at a time.
