By downloading content from this site, you are acknowledging that you have read, understood, and agreed to all the terms listed in this License Agreement.
Soulful Art Image Licensing grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to download, use, publish, and display content according to the terms and conditions of this agreement.
- Types of licenses offered by Soulful Art Image Licensing . SAIL offers three types of license models: (1) single use and (2) unlimited usage for a 12 month period, and (3) a Custom License for commercial, long-term, and other uses.
A. A single use license means you may download a single image for one-time use according to the Usage Guidelines. This license does not include the right to reproduce the image on products for sale or use in logos.
B. Unlimited usage for a 12 month period, also called the “All Access Pass,” allows you to download an unlimited number of images during a 12 month period for use according the Usage Guidelines. At the end of the 12 month subscription period, you no longer have the right to use these images and must renew your license for another 12 months in order to use these and/or additional images. This license does not include the right to reproduce the image on products for sale or use in logos.
C. A Custom License is available for certain uses, including commercial and marketing purposes, which fall outside the parameters of allowable uses outlined in Section 2 below. The Custom License is not available on the website. See Section 4 below for more information. - Use of licensed content. You may use licensed content in any way consistent with the rights granted below and not restricted (see Section 3, Restricted Uses, below).

A. Standard Uses: You may use the images in temporary publications and presentations including church bulletins, PowerPoints, banners, annual reports, newsletters, flyers, and similar uses, which are not products for resale.
B. Exceptions: You may use an image for a personal, one-time use in a Zoom background or screen saver, or as an image on your website to enhance your content and message. These uses are considered a “one-time use” and will not expire after 12 months and may be used in perpetuity by a single user but are not transferable to another user.

G. No trademark or logo. You may not use content (in whole or in part) as the distinctive or distinguishing feature of a trademark, design mark, trade name, business name, service mark, or logo. - Additional Uses: only with a Custom License. The following uses are prohibited unless permission is granted from Contemporary Spiritual Art with the purchase of a Custom License. The Custom License is not available on the website. For information about a Custom License for your project, contact support@soulfulartimagelicensing.com.
A. On Demand Products. Unless you purchase a Custom License, you may not use content in connection with “on demand” products (e.g., products in which a licensed image is selected by you or a third party for customization of such product on a made-to-order basis), including, without limitation, postcards, mugs, t-shirts, calendars, posters, or similar items (this includes the sale of products through custom design websites, as well as sites such as zazzle.com and cafepress.com). Many of these items are already available at retail on pollycastor.pixels.com.
B. Electronic Templates. Unless you purchase a Custom License, you may not use content in electronic or digital templates intended for resale or other distribution, sold separately or in a collection, or an automated shopping system (for example, website templates, business card templates, electronic greeting card templates, brochure design templates, and similar uses). - Users of licensed content. The rights granted to you are non-transferable and non-sub-licensable, meaning that you cannot transfer or sub-license them to anyone else. There are two exceptions:
A. Employer or client. If you are purchasing on behalf of your employer or client, then your employer or client can use the content. In that case, you represent and warrant that you have full legal authority to bind your employer or client to the terms of this agreement. If you do not have that authority, then your employer or client may not use the content. The rights purchased may only belong to you or your employer/client, depending on whose name is on the account. In other words, if you purchase an image license, only one of you (and not both) is granted a license to use the images.
B. Subcontractors. You may allow subcontractors (for example, your printer or mailing house) or distributors to use content in any production or distribution process related to your final project or end use. These subcontractors and distributors must agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement and may not use the content for any other purpose. - User Accounts. You are responsible for tracking all activity for you user account.
A. You agree to (1) maintain the privacy and security of your password and username; (2) notify Soulful Art Image Licensing immediately of any unauthorized use or other breach of security; and (3) accept all responsibility for activity that occurs under your user account.

If SAIL determines that you are in breach of this or any other terms of an agreement with SAIL, it may investigate, suspend access to, or terminate your account and seek further legal remedies.
C. Termination. If your account is terminated for any violation of this Agreement and/or abuse of your user name or password, and/or content, you lose all rights to SAIL content, and you must IMMEDIATELY delete any and all content obtained prior to this termination, and forfeit all fees paid.
D. Age of Majority. You warrant and attest that you are 18 years or older.
