Licensing,
made clear.

Every asset you buy comes with a license — permission to use it — and a unique License ID that proves your rights. Here's exactly how it works, what each license lets you do, and how we keep your files (and our creators' work) protected.

The licenses

Pick the right permission

Most buyers only ever need the first one. The others exist for specific needs — resale, news, or sole ownership.

Most common

Royalty-Free

Pay once, use it forever, in as many projects as you like — commercial or personal.

  • Websites, social, ads, video, presentations
  • Unlimited projects, no repeat fees
  • No reselling the asset itself or merchandise
  • Print runs capped at 500,000
From OMR 12 · single asset
For products & resale

Extended

Everything in Royalty-Free, plus the rights you need to sell things made with the asset.

  • Merchandise & products for resale
  • Unlimited print runs
  • Templates & items sold to others
2–4× the standard price
News & documentary

Editorial

For real people and places filmed without a signed release — usable only to inform, not to advertise.

  • News, documentary, education
  • No advertising or promotion
  • Limited editing of the clip
Usually lower than Royalty-Free
One defined use

Rights-Managed

A single, agreed use — priced by where, how long, and how widely it runs. For premium campaigns.

  • You define region, duration, media
  • Can be made exclusive
  • New use = new license
Quoted per use
Sole ownership of use

Exclusive

Nobody else can license this asset while your agreement is active. For brands that want a look that's theirs alone — the highest tier, priced to match.

  • No one else can buy the same asset
  • Ideal for signature brand campaigns
Premium — quoted per asset

The process

From preview to download

Five steps. Every one is logged, so both you and the creator have a clean record.

STEP 01

Preview

Browse watermarked, lower-res previews — safe to view, useless to steal.

STEP 02

Choose license

Pick Royalty-Free, Extended, Editorial, or Exclusive for your use.

STEP 03

Pay

Checkout with credits or card. The sale is recorded to your account.

STEP 04

Get License ID

A certificate PDF with a unique ID, your name, the asset, and your rights.

STEP 05

Download

A private, expiring link delivers your clean master file.

One ID per download

Every purchase creates a certificate with an ID that belongs only to that download and that buyer. It's your proof of rights in any dispute — and our record of exactly who licensed what, and when.

That same ID is quietly woven into your file (see below), so a leaked clip always points back to its source.

Protection

How files stay secure

Four layers work together — so previews are safe to share, masters are hard to steal, and any leak is traceable.

SV

Watermarked previews

Everything you browse carries the diagonal spec vis mark. Useful to preview, useless to use.

Visible

Signed, expiring links

Your download link is private and dies after a few minutes or a set number of downloads — it can't be reshared.

Delivery

Forensic watermark

An invisible ID is baked into your file — it survives cropping, compression and re-encoding, and traces any leak back to the buyer.

Invisible

License records

Every sale, ID and buyer is logged. If a file appears somewhere with no matching record, it's unlicensed — plain and simple.

The ledger

If someone misuses your content

How you act on it

Because every file is traceable and every sale is recorded, proving misuse is straightforward. Here's the path from spotting it to a legal claim.

1

Detect

Reverse image/video search (or a service like Pixsy/Copytrack) finds your asset used somewhere.

2

Check the ledger

No matching License ID in our records = unlicensed use. That's your first piece of evidence.

3

Read the mark

Extract the forensic watermark — it names the original buyer, date, and license, even from an edited copy.

4

Notify

Send a cease-and-desist / takedown with the certificate and forensic evidence attached.

5

Claim

If ignored, pursue a licensing-fee claim or legal action — the records are court-ready proof.

Why this works: the combination of a signed License ID + invisible forensic mark + a complete sales ledger means you can prove who misused an asset, when they got it, and that they had no right to that use. That evidence is what makes a claim winnable.

This page explains how licensing and enforcement work on spec vis in plain language — it isn't legal advice. Actual license terms live in each asset's license agreement, and any legal action should be handled with a qualified lawyer in the relevant country.
