I had a conversation with a guy via Fiverr site, I asked him respectfully to take down one of my templates that used and sell it over there for 5 dollars Just 5 dollars, he told me that I have Elements license for doing this, WHAT
Are these allowed or what Iām confused !!! how can I deal with this
Elements would work BUT they need to be subscribed when the project is live and until it is complete. They canāt stockpile templates to use in the future.
Some common-sense limitations do apply, as set out below:
You canāt re-sell, or re-distribute items;
You canāt use items in on-demand services; and
You generally canāt use items as the basis for merchandising. For example, printing a logo from Elements straight onto a T-shirt is not allowed. See clause 13 below for the relevant terms and conditions.
You are completely wrong.
So you say that nobody who has ordinary license or has subscription on Elements is not allowed to create and sell end video for their customers?
Itās sound mad. Nobody will buy such license because they would be in 90% useless.
UPD: Read once again what you post here. End video (which was rendered) is not the same as an item, do you realize that?
@pxlzero Person who sell final video (not .aep) can do it. For 5 bucks or for free, itās his choice. Or you want to take his job and do it yourself? This is absolutely legal until he is subscriber and download your project every time when somebody pays him for customization.
Why do you think itās not allowed?
UPD2: @pxlzero Also you should be happy because you get your own subscriber who will gain you money directly downloading your project over and over again. While you do nothing, he will work for 5 bucks.
This refers to doing this āas-isā and without significant modification/as part of client projects
This would fall into the āstockpilingā behaviour we referenced earlier and is not allowed
Self-explanatory
There are also some other parts to the license:
or Items other than fonts and add-ons, a Single Use is the use of the Item to create an End Product (requiring an application of skill and effort) in one of the following ways:
or an Item that is a template, the End Product is a customized implementation of the Item.
They have to download the item each tiem they want to use it and declare the project there.
They cannot download it once then use it as/when they want
Register items each time you use them
Each time you download an item, you get an ongoing license for a single, specified use. Want to use an item again? No problem! Visit your downloads and simply register it again for a different end use.
Two key parts are:
Future proof licensing, even if you unsubscribe
If you unsubscribe, you canāt use items from Envato Elements any more. But any existing uses that you registered are still covered. Now thatās peace of mind!
and
For each digital work (called an ā Item ā) you download and Register under your Envato Elements subscription, you are granted a license to use the Item on a non-exclusive, commercial, worldwide and revocable basis, for one Single Use per Registration. Remember, if you want to use an Item you must have a valid and live subscription.
To add to the confusion: The explanation I got from staff was that an on-demand service is something like an app that makes use of Elements items in the background, so for example an app that allows users to generate their own video by just uploading their logo and text. That app is not allowed to use projects from Elements.
In other words: If no human being is doing something with the items, i.e. customizing it or integrating it in a bigger piece, you may not use it.
Sites like the one you mentioned are fine, as long as each ordered gig has a unique elements license applied.
In my opinion, Elements rather solves a problem than creates one here.
Thanks, guys for the clarifications then the guy is right about the licensing, so each time he needs to use the template he should register it again for a different end use, each time he did that I will get good revenue from that, okay thatās not bad. I thought once he downloaded items from Envato Elements, he can use it wherever he wants and I didnāt know that each time he registers different end-use we get revenue from that, sorry guys, I joined the ŁEnvato Elements on the first of this month, I didnāt know much about the licensing terms.
Because I thought that the Elements subscribers once they download the items they can use unlimited licensing without getting revenue from that, now everything is clear to me
Yes, I will be happy if they register different end-use, not using the same items without registration
If you are in contact with the person anyway you may send him a friendly reminder that each registration of a new license is not just the legal way but also helps you to create more awesome content he may use and takes him only few seconds.
And of course apologize for the misunderstanding in the beginning
