Our Services provide you with a robust platform to use and employ 51���ϲ����Ⱥ����� Content, combined with content you develop on your own or license from a third-party (“User Content”), to create final illustrations, images, figures, drawings and graphics (“Completed Graphics”).

These Basic License Terms only apply to 51���ϲ����Ⱥ����� Content used by Customers who register for a Free 51���ϲ����Ⱥ����� Plan (including Customers who register for a free-trial) at and certain Paid 51���ϲ����Ⱥ����� Plans that are discounted for undergraduate students.

You will be issued a content license under these Basic License Terms (a “Basic License”) for each item of 51���ϲ����Ⱥ����� Content contained in Completed Graphics you are permitted to download, including by screen capture or other permitted means, from our Service (referred to herein as an “Export” or “Exports”). Following your Export of Completed Graphics, we shall grant you the right to use 51���ϲ����Ⱥ����� Content in your Completed Graphics in the manner set out herein (the “Permitted Uses”) subject to the restrictions set out below. While we can change the Permitted Uses in accordance with our Terms of Service, this will not affect how you can use Completed Graphics that you Exported prior to that time.

Please read these Basic License Terms carefully before using our Services or any 51���ϲ����Ⱥ����� Content. Your failure to comply with the terms herein could result in legal proceedings and the immediate termination of your User-Account. Initial capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning given to them in our Terms of Service.

The license granted to you hereunder may not be sublicensed to a third-party without the prior written permission of 51���ϲ����Ⱥ�����. Please keep in mind that some fair use of 51���ϲ����Ⱥ����� Content licensed to you hereunder may still be permitted without requiring a sublicense under Applicable Law. Under no circumstances will any permitted or non-permitted uses of 51���ϲ����Ⱥ����� Content alter 51���ϲ����Ⱥ�����’s title, rights and ownership of the 51���ϲ����Ⱥ����� Content, no matter what agreement you may enter into with another third party with respect to the 51���ϲ����Ⱥ����� Content.

5. Ownership of Intellectual Property In Derivative Works
Customers or their Permitted Users, if applicable, may make modifications, improvements, customizations, updates, enhancements, aggregations, compilations, derivative works, translations and adaptations (“M�ǻ徱�ھ������پ��DzԲ�”) to 51���ϲ����Ⱥ����� Content. You agree that 51���ϲ����Ⱥ����� shall be deemed to own the Copyrights in any Modifications of 51���ϲ����Ⱥ����� Content appearing in Completed Graphics prepared by you, and any such 51���ϲ����Ⱥ����� Content created by you is a “work made for hire” for 51���ϲ����Ⱥ����� under the U.S. Copyright Act and any and all similar provisions of law under other jurisdictions, and that 51���ϲ����Ⱥ����� shall be deemed to be the author of such works for all purposes. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you hereby waive and release in favor of 51���ϲ����Ⱥ����� and its licensors all rights (if any) of “droit moral,” moral rights, rental rights and similar rights in and to such 51���ϲ����Ⱥ����� Content. To the extent that any portion of Modifications to 51���ϲ����Ⱥ����� Content do not qualify as a “work made for hire” under applicable law, or the extent that notwithstanding any of the foregoing, ownership of any portion of such 51���ϲ����Ⱥ����� Content does not vest in 51���ϲ����Ⱥ�����, you hereby irrevocably assign to 51���ϲ����Ⱥ����� and its successors and assigns, without further consideration, your Copyrights in Modifications to 51���ϲ����Ⱥ����� Content.

Except as provided above, 51���ϲ����Ⱥ����� does not otherwise own the Intellectual Property Rights in Modifications to 51���ϲ����Ⱥ����� Content you rightfully acquire under Applicable Law which, for greater certainty, shall not include minor Modifications that involve minimal skill or creativity. For example, you are unlikely to be granted any Intellectual Property Rights for your Modifications to 51���ϲ����Ⱥ����� Content which simply skews, applies colour changes or re-shapes 51���ϲ����Ⱥ����� Content.

6. Termination
You can terminate the licenses granted to you under these Basic License Terms by destroying the 51���ϲ����Ⱥ����� Content and Completed Graphics, along with any copies or archives of it or accompanying materials (if applicable), and ceasing to use the Completed Graphic for any purpose.

If you are in breach of our Agreement, your 51���ϲ����Ⱥ����� Plan and the licenses granted to you hereunder shall also terminate. Upon such termination, 51���ϲ����Ⱥ����� may require you to immediately (i) destroy or delete all copies and archives of the Completed Graphic or accompanying materials and (ii) if requested, confirm to 51���ϲ����Ⱥ����� in writing that you have complied with these requirements. We reserve the right to revoke or amend the licenses granted to you hereunder and replace the 51���ϲ����Ⱥ����� Content with an alternative for any reason.

Upon notice from 51���ϲ����Ⱥ�����, or upon your knowledge that any 51���ϲ����Ⱥ����� Content is subject to a threatened, potential or actual claim of infringement of another’s right for which 51���ϲ����Ⱥ����� may be liable, you must immediately and at your own expense (i) stop using the 51���ϲ����Ⱥ����� Content; (ii) delete or remove the 51���ϲ����Ⱥ����� Content from your premises, computer systems and storage (electronic or physical); (iii) ensure that your clients, printers or ISPs do likewise; and (iv) let 51���ϲ����Ⱥ����� know.
