Assets licensed to a business include usage rights for your teams' seat holders, along with indemnification for your entity or company. You’re covered for up to $1M in indemnification and truly unlimited distribution. Your downloads can be shared across a team, department, or even entire company, depending on the teams who are covered in the license agreement.
Assets licensed to an individual provide legal coverage and usage rights for the individual license holder only. Standalone stock media files licensed to an individual cannot be shared with others. While you can share your finished projects, you do not have the rights to distribute the underlying, original stock media assets or project files.
A Storyblocks license guarantees that any and all content use, as provided for in the contract, will not infringe on the intellectual property rights of any third party. We’ll bet our own money on it.
If claims do arise, we’ll help handle the legal claims for you and ensure you’re covered for legal payout up to your indemnification limit.
