Video Copilot End-User Software License Agreement
Video Copilot End-User Software License Agreement
IMPORTANT! The Video Copilot software (the “Software”) You seek to download from
the Video Copilot website is licensed only on the condition that You agree to the terms
and conditions set forth below. PLEASE READ THE TERMS OF THIS SOFTWARE
LICENSE AGREEMENT CAREFULLY.
The Software that You are about to access was developed by Video Copilot, Inc., a
California corporation, to create, modify and render images into an end user’s derivative
works such as videos. This End-User License Agreement (“Agreement”) sets forth the
terms under which You, as an individual or entity, duly licensed and authorized by Video
Copilot may use the Software.
Based on the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, You and Video Copilot agree as follows:
(a) Template/Pre-Render and Stock Media Restrictions. The Software enables You to
render and create Your own Works. You cannot pre-render or flatten images created with
the Software using Content or other media from any source for use as a template or stock
media to offer for sale and/or use to third parties (except as otherwise indicated below).
But You can create a project using the Software so long as no Content/media from any
source is pre-rendered, and offer or sell those Works to third parties. However, Your
offer or sale of Your Works to others cannot include any Content; the purchaser of Your
Works must own or acquire a license to such Content by purchasing the appropriate
Software. Once the end user acquires the Software, that person can outsource to You the
modification of Your Works, as indicated above. You have no right to resell our Content
or media from any source, as rendered by the Software, in any manner that we regard as
being in competition with our Software, or to create a business of offering pre-rendered
works or templates (whether offered for free or for payment) that are renderings or
modifications of our Content or media from any source, and which may in fact compete
with the Software or other Video Copilot products in our sole discretion. In this regard,
no Content that You have rendered or any Work that You have created with the Software
or media from any source can serve as any sort of stock footage, stock photography or
stock media, as animated background or editable media files, or otherwise be offered to
the public or compete with the Software or any Video Copilot product, whether offered
for free or payment. The exception to the foregoing is the case where You sell a finished,
locked Work that You have rendered (provided that it is NOT Your own offering of our
model packs/Content that could compete with Video Copilot products, whether or not
rendered, which is strictly prohibited) to a single end user; that is permitted because it
will not be further modified or rendered (e.g., the trailer of a film, a film or a
commercial). You are also granted the right to transfer a finished, locked Work to a
finishing studio for the purpose of broadcast or film-out, provided the studio does not
reuse any of Your Work for any other production.
(b) Use of Third Party Brands in Content. Some of the images and Content offered by
Video Copilot include on it the brands that are typically found on such Content. For
example, You may see the insignia, markings and brand of a manufacturer on many
objects, such as weapons and equipment. While You have the right to use and sell any
generic, unbranded Content provided by Video Copilot, subject to the restrictions set
forth in this Agreement, Video Copilot makes no representation or warranty that the
owners of specific brands will not object should You attempt to monetize Works that
incorporate such brands. In the event that You seek to monetize or sell a Work
incorporating a specific brand, (i) You need to seek the approval of the owner of such
brand, or its agent, and they may insist on a direct license with You; and (ii) You agree to
indemnify, defend and hold harmless Video Copilot and its licensors, and its employees
and agents, against any claim made by any brand owner or third party claiming that Your
use of such brand in a Work infringes their rights.
(c) Content Extraction. You may not extract any Content from any Video Copilot product
that cannot be extracted and used as stand-alone Content without the use of reverse
engineering tools or techniques.
(d) Prohibited Uses. The Content that You adapt and modify for use in Your own Works
shall not be used in a Work that infringes the copyright or other intellectual property right
of any third party, that is defamatory, libelous or obscene, or that is in any way unlawful.
In addition, You will not attempt to violate any security mechanisms in the Content or
Software, or to misrepresent who You are, or to engage in any other unlawful or
undesirable conduct. In order to ensure Your compliance, Video Copilot reserves the
right to monitor Your use of the Content, and to audit Your installation and use of the
Content at any time upon no more than one week’s notice during customary business
hours, either by itself or using an audit or accounting firm for this purpose.
5. SUPPORT. Video Copilot is not under any obligation to provide any support under
this Agreement, including upgrades or future versions of the Software or related products.

However, Your termination of such license and Agreement shall under no circumstances
entitle You to a refund or any other monetary compensation from Vide Copilot. Video
Copilot may terminate the license and this Agreement at any time that You or Your agent
fails to pay any amount due to us under this Agreement. This license shall also terminate
automatically on Your failure to comply with any of the other terms of this Agreement.

delete all electronic copies of any documentation that You have downloaded, printed, or
created relating to the Software, and to ensure that no copies of any of the Software

Notwithstanding termination, the provisions of Sections 4, 6, 7 and 9-20 of this
Agreement shall survive and continue to apply.
10. CONFIDENTIALITY. You agree that You shall not disclose to any third party the

16. FORCE MAJEURE. If the performance of VIDEO COPILOT under this Agreement
is prevented, hindered, or otherwise made impractical by reason of flood, strike, war, acts
of government, or any other casualty or cause beyond the control of Video Copilot, then
Video Copilot shall be excused from its performance to the extent and so long as it is
prevented, hindered, or delayed by such event(s).
17. SEVERABILITY. If any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement
shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, then
to the maximum extent permitted by law, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability
shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement.

by VIDEO COPILOT hereunder, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of
VIDEO COPILOT, and any attempt to do so shall be void. This Agreement is binding on
