By engaging Take Studios, purchasing services, or using any deliverables supplied by Take Studios, you (the “Client”, “you”, or “your”) agree to the terms of this Licensing Agreement.

This includes:
raw footage and unused material
working files and project files
drafts and concept development
original design assets and templates
behind-the-scenes content
edits not delivered as part of the final package
You are purchasing a licence to use the work, not ownership of the copyright.

Upon full payment of all invoices, Take Studios grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable licence to use the Final Deliverables for your business and promotional purposes.
This licence allows you to use the Final Deliverables for:
your website
social media channels

claim authorship of the Deliverables or represent that they were created by anyone other than Take Studios
use the Deliverables as part of a template or product for resale (including NFTs or stock libraries)
5. Editing and Alterations
You may crop or resize Deliverables for formatting purposes.
You must not significantly alter, recolour, manipulate, distort, add filters, re-edit, or modify Deliverables without written approval from Take Studios, unless Take Studios has supplied editable versions specifically for that purpose.
This includes applying heavy AI edits or using Deliverables in generative AI tools.
6. Third Party Use
This Agreement does not allow third parties to use the Deliverables unless they are working directly under your business and only using the Deliverables on your behalf.
For example, your marketing agency may upload approved Final Deliverables to your social media accounts, but they may not reuse the content for other clients or claim it as their own work.
7. Moral Rights
Take Studios retains all moral rights in the Deliverables.
You agree not to use the Deliverables in a way that is derogatory or prejudicial to Take Studios’ reputation.
8. Take Studios Portfolio Use
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, Take Studios retains the right to display and use the Deliverables for our own promotional purposes, including:
our website
social media
portfolio
showreels
award submissions

If your project is confidential or not yet launched, you may request an embargo period in writing.

Any confidential information shared between you and Take Studios (including pricing, internal documents, or unreleased business details) must not be disclosed without written permission.
This does not apply to information that is publicly available.
10. Payment Requirement
The licence granted under this Agreement only applies once full payment has been received.
If invoices remain unpaid, no rights are granted and you must not publish, distribute, or use the Deliverables.
11. Termination
Take Studios may terminate this licence immediately if you breach this Agreement.
If terminated, you must immediately stop using the Deliverables and remove them from all platforms where reasonably possible.
