Unless expressly agreed otherwise, the license is:

• Valid for an unlimited period of time
• Limited to the types of use permitted under the respective license level
• Granted solely to the customer or for the licensed project

Agencies, design studios, production companies, media organizations, and other professional service providers may use licensed content for specific client projects within the scope of the applicable license.

The following conditions apply:

• The file may be incorporated into a specific client project.
• The intended use must be covered by the license level purchased.
• Employees and contracted service providers may be given technical access to the file where necessary for the project.
• The original file may not be provided to the client for unrestricted or independent future use.
• Delivery of the completed project does not grant the client a general license to the original file.
• If the client wishes to use the original file independently for additional projects, an appropriate separate license is required.

Customers may technically and creatively modify purchased content within the scope of the applicable license to adapt it to their project.

Permitted modifications may include, for example:

• Cropping
• Scaling
• Changing dimensions
• Integration into videos or graphics
• Combining the content with text, audio, images, or other media
• Technical format or project-related adjustments

Editing or modifying the content does not create any ownership or copyright rights in the underlying original file.

A modified version may not be offered as a standalone or substantially similar stock, download, or media product.

Regardless of the license level purchased, the following are prohibited in particular:

• Reselling the original file
• Redistributing it free of charge
• Giving it away
• Renting or lending it
• Sublicensing it
• Publishing it on stock platforms
• Publishing it on download portals
• Including it in asset or media libraries for redistribution
• Distributing it through file-sharing services
• Making it available as a standalone download

These restrictions also apply to files that have merely been converted or only slightly modified.

Licensed content may be incorporated into templates, apps, games, software, or other digital products only if:

• The applicable license level covers the intended use
• The original file cannot be readily extracted or separately used by end users
• The primary purpose of the product is not to redistribute the licensed file itself

Additional licensing requirements may apply to templates, website builders, apps, games, software products, design systems, or comparable applications.

If there is any uncertainty regarding the intended use, customers should contact 3DFlagShop before using the content.

Purchased content may not be used to create, operate, or materially expand a service that competes with 3DFlagShop, including a:

• Flag library
• Stock media library
• Download platform
• Asset library
• Or comparable digital service

Licensed content may not be used in an unlawful manner.

In particular, use is prohibited in contexts that are:

• Racist
• Extremist
• Abusive or defamatory
• Fraudulent
• Deliberately misleading
• Otherwise unlawful

Neutral journalistic, editorial, documentary, historical, scientific, educational, or informational use may be permitted within the scope of the applicable license and applicable law.

The mere display of a flag as part of factual reporting is not prohibited solely because of the symbol depicted.

3DFlagShop provides its content neutrally and without political endorsement or judgment.

Political, historical, or other sensitive representations may be permitted within the scope of the applicable license, provided that the use complies with applicable law and this License Agreement.

The customer is responsible for the specific context in which the content is used.

For particularly sensitive or unusual projects, we recommend contacting 3DFlagShop in advance.

Certain flags, coats of arms, logos, trademarks, emblems, and other symbols may be subject to legal restrictions, trademark rights, personality rights, or other third-party rights, depending on the country and intended use.

The 3DFlagShop license covers only those rights that 3DFlagShop is entitled to grant in relation to the respective digital content.

The purchase of a license does not transfer any additional trademark rights, rights relating to official symbols, or other third-party rights.

Customers are responsible for determining whether their intended use requires any additional permissions or rights.

Unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing, all licenses are granted on a non-exclusive basis.

This means that 3DFlagShop may offer and license the same or similar content to other customers.

Exclusive usage rights require a separate written agreement.

Unless otherwise specified in the product description or an individual agreement, the purchased license is generally valid for an unlimited period of time.

Continued validity is subject to compliance with the applicable license terms.

End products lawfully created within the scope of the license may generally continue to be used in accordance with the purchased license after completion of the original project.

Different or additional usage rights may be agreed for custom-created content or bespoke productions.

These may include, in particular:

• Exclusive usage rights
• Commercial usage rights
• Broadcast rights
• Territorial restrictions
• Project-specific usage rights
• Special distribution or publication rights

The respective individual quotation or written agreement shall determine the applicable rights.

Proof of the purchased license may include:

• Order confirmation
• Invoice
• Electronic proof of license
• Confirmation of the license level purchased

Customers should retain these documents for their records.

Where there is a legitimate reason to do so, 3DFlagShop may request proof of the license purchased.

Any use outside the scope of the purchased license constitutes unauthorized use.

In the event of a violation of this License Agreement, 3DFlagShop reserves all applicable contractual and statutory rights.

Where the relevant legal requirements are met, these may include:

• Requiring the customer to cease the unauthorized use
• Requiring the purchase or upgrade of the appropriate license
• Injunctive relief
• Claims for damages
• Other remedies available under applicable law

If the intended use of a previously purchased product expands, it may be possible to upgrade to a higher license level.

Examples include:

• Standard / Web → Commercial
• Standard / Web → Broadcast
• Commercial → Broadcast

Any extended use may generally begin only after the required license or corresponding upgrade has been obtained.

This License Agreement supplements the 3DFlagShop Terms & Conditions.

The Terms & Conditions govern, in particular, the conclusion of contracts, payment, provision of digital content, and general contractual matters.

This License Agreement primarily governs the scope of the usage rights granted for purchased digital content.

The laws of the Federal Republic of Germany shall apply, excluding the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG).

For consumers, this choice of law applies only to the extent that it does not deprive them of mandatory consumer protection provisions applicable in the country of their habitual residence.

If any provision of this License Agreement is or becomes wholly or partially invalid, the applicable statutory provisions shall apply, and the validity of the remaining provisions shall remain unaffected.

Individual written agreements and expressly agreed special licenses shall take precedence over this general License Agreement to the extent that they contain different provisions.
