I. Introduction & Definitions

This agreement is intended to be easy to understand, and to provide clarity for using Licensed Products in the work you create (“Creations”). Over the years, TurboSquid has been asked many questions about how Licensed Products may be used in Creations, and we have attempted to answer those questions in this agreement.

Some words in this agreement are given specific meanings. Words that appear initially in quotations, such as “you” and “Creations”, are defined in the text preceding the word. Other capitalized words are defined below:

Licensed Product” means any Stock Media Product that includes or that bears one or more of the following trademarks: SHELBY®, SHELBY OFFICIAL LICENSED PRODUCT®, or that bears any trade dress of vehicles produced by Shelby Motor Company.

"Site" refers to the TurboSquid websites, API’s, software applications or any approved means or utility either currently in existence or in the future; the software and source code used by TurboSquid to provide such services; user interface layouts, designs, images, text, knowledgebase articles, program offers; site information provided in reports (such as popular keyword searches); and all other intellectual property protected under copyright, trademark, patent, publicity, or any other proprietary right.

Purchase” is the acquisition of a Stock Media Product by you from the Site under this agreement, whether as a purchase of Stock Media Product made available at a price of greater than $0, or a download of Stock Media Product made available at no charge.

TurboSquid” includes TurboSquid, Inc. and all licensed affiliates and partners that distribute Licensed Products on behalf of TurboSquid, Inc.

Product Page” is the product page or interface that displays Licensed Products available for Purchase on the Site.

Intellectual Property” means, copyright, trademark, trade secret, right of publicity, or any other proprietary right throughout the world.

To make reading this agreement easier and less repetitive, the following constructions are used:

Include,” including,” and “such as” are considered to be followed with “but not limited to.” Examples are used in this agreement to illustrate, rather than limit, the scope of the terms.

The following restrictions”, “the foregoing restrictions”, and “subject to the restrictions” are considered to be followed with “in addition to all other restrictions applicable within this agreement.”

You waive any requirement for the posting of a bond or other security if TurboSquid or Shelby seeks such an injunction.

YOU UNDERSTAND, ACKNOWLEDGE, AND AGREE THAT ACCEPTING THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION WAIVES RIGHTS TO JUDICIAL RESOLUTION, TRIAL BY JURY AND RIGHTS YOU WOULD OTHERWISE HAVE IF YOU HAD NOT AGREED TO THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION.
