Licensing Terms

1. Marketplace Items

Licensing and ownership terms differ depending on the type of item. The marketplace allows Sellers to upload and sell:

• Downloads
• Bookable Calls
• Online Services
• “Combo” type items (combinations of the above items types for added value)

Downloads

When you purchase a Downloadable Item from the marketplace you are buying the right to use that item in accordance with the Seller’s licensing terms. The license defines the specific terms of use for the download item – what you can and can’t do with the Item.

Bookable Calls

When you purchase a Bookable Call the Buyer purchases a number of “time units” (usually minutes) on a scheduled call with a Seller. So there is no transfer of ownership of time, however, if the call is recorded – the ownership and rights to the recording of the session is assigned to the Buyer in accordance with the Seller’s licensing terms.

The Buyer is granted all intellectual property rights, including but not limited to, copyright to the recording of the session, and the Seller waives any and all moral rights therein. All transfer and assignment of rights to the buyer is subject to payment for the item, so if order and payment is cancelled for any reason, then these rights are not transferred.

Online Services

When you purchase an Online Service for a customized Item, on order completion the Buyer receives the delivered item together with the intellectual property rights and copyright to the Item. The Seller agrees to assign all rights, title and interest in the delivered work to the Buyer in accordance with the Seller’s licensing terms, and the Seller waives any and all moral rights therein unless stated otherwise on the item page. This excludes the transfer of any reusable inputs and tools that the Seller uses in the normal course of delivering that service.

All transfer and assignment of intellectual property to the buyer is subject to payment for the Item, so if order and payment is cancelled for any reason, then these rights are not transferred.

Combination Items

These items are a combination of the 3 item types above and their ownership and licensing terms are therefore a combination of the parts that go into the end item.

2. License Options

The Seller retains ownership of the item but grants the Buyer a license in accordance with the licensing terms. The license is given by the Seller to the Buyer at the time of purchase. StackedGame is not a party to this license.

There are 2 basic license types that apply across all marketplace items: Personal and Commercial.

• Personal Use Licenses allows Buyers to use the item for “personal use”. This is the default license type unless stated differently by the Seller on the item page.
