Artbeats License Agreement

Please respect our hard work and do not pirate this software! The entire contents of this package (including all documentation and discs) is original, exclusive and protected under the copyright laws of the United States. This software may not be duplicated in whole or in part without the written permission of Artbeats except for the purpose of creating a backup copy.


You are granted a nonexclusive license to use these files under the following guidelines:


1. They may not be used on more than one computer at any one time. Please contact us for a multi-seat site license if you need to use them over a network or at more than one station simultaneously.


2. They may be incorporated into any video, multimedia, or print project for commercial, industrial, corporate, internet or broadcast use as long as the images are not sold as-is or included in any other clip media/stock product, library, collection, or set of clips/images for distribution or resale. Use of the contents of this package for distribution or multiple resale as part of any clip-art, clip-media, or stock imagery library, collection or set of clips/images without written consent of Artbeats is expressly denied. These guidelines apply even if the files have been significantly altered.



An Explanation of the License Agreement

In order to lessen the confusion that is often present when using copyrighted artwork, here is a further explanation of the license agreement:


You are granted use of these images on one computer at a time. If you have more than one computer in your office and/or are networked to other computers that will need to access these images, we require that you have a separate software package for each CPU or a multiuse license covering all computers. This last option is suggested because it is inexpensive and easy to do. Please contact us for further details.


It is important to us that you not only enjoy these images for your own projects, but that you can profit by using them. You may use the images any way you wish, whether in-house or for outside clients, under the following guidelines: 1. When charging clients for work using our images, the image(s) must be used as part of a larger production, as a background or in conjunction with text and graphics. It cannot be charged for by itself. 2. When distributing (selling or giving away) a product (sample packages, books, printed matter, animations, videos, etc.) that contains one or more images found in this package, its chief value must not lie in our artwork.


Example of misuse:


The image is printed as the illustration on the front of a greeting card. The greeting card is then sold in retail stores. The value of the card comes largely from the front cover illustration, so this is a clear example of misuse.
