Pikvector respects the intellectual property and copyright rights of creators, contributors, customers, businesses, and other rights holders.

This Copyright Policy explains how copyright applies to content available on Pikvector, including free assets, premium assets, contributor-submitted content, photographs, images, videos, vectors, illustrations, templates, and other digital creative resources.

By using Pikvector, you agree to comply with this Copyright Policy, our Terms of Use, Privacy Policy, applicable license terms, and all applicable copyright and intellectual-property laws.

Copyright in an asset may belong to:

Pikvector

An independent contributor

A photographer

A videographer

An illustrator

A graphic designer

Another copyright owner or licensor

Downloading or purchasing an asset from Pikvector does not transfer ownership of the copyright to the downloader or purchaser.

Instead, the customer receives only the rights expressly granted under the applicable license.

All rights not expressly granted remain with the applicable copyright owner.

2. Types of Content on Pikvector

Pikvector may offer different categories of digital content, including:

Free assets

Premium assets

Stock photographs

Stock images

Stock videos

Vectors

Illustrations

Graphic templates

Design resources

Contributor content

Editorial content

Other digital creative assets

Different assets may have different license conditions.

Always check the license associated with an asset before using it.

3. Free Assets

Pikvector may make certain assets available for free download.

A free asset does not necessarily mean that the asset is free of copyright.

Free assets remain protected by copyright unless the asset is specifically identified as being in the public domain or otherwise released under a license that provides different rights.

Free assets may be used only according to the license displayed or associated with the particular asset.

4. Attribution for Free Assets

Some Pikvector free assets may require attribution to the creator or Pikvector.

Where attribution is required, the user must provide attribution in the manner specified on the asset's download page, license page, or applicable license agreement.

An attribution requirement may include information such as:

"Designed by [Creator Name] via Pikvector"

or another attribution format specified by Pikvector.

If an asset's applicable license requires attribution, removing or intentionally hiding the required attribution may constitute a violation of the license.

5. Premium Assets

Premium assets are digital assets that require payment, subscription access, credits, or another form of paid authorization.

Premium assets may include:

Premium vectors

Premium photos

Premium images

Premium videos

Premium illustrations

Premium templates

Premium design resources

Payment for a premium asset does not normally transfer copyright ownership.

Instead, the customer receives a limited license to use the asset according to the applicable Pikvector license.

6. Premium License

Unless a different license is expressly stated, a premium download grants the purchaser a non-exclusive, limited, non-transferable license to use the downloaded asset according to the applicable Pikvector license.

The license does not grant ownership of the original asset.

The customer may modify the asset where the applicable license permits modification.

All uses must remain within the permitted scope of the applicable license.

7. Prohibited Use of Assets

Unless expressly permitted by the applicable license, you may not:

Resell the original asset as a standalone file.

Redistribute the original asset.

Upload the original asset to another stock-content website.

Make the original asset available for free download.

Share premium downloads with unauthorized users.

Claim that you created an asset that was created by another person.

Remove copyright notices or required attribution.

Sell or sublicense the original source file.

Create a competing stock-content library using Pikvector assets.

Use Pikvector assets to create a service where users can independently extract or download the original asset.

Circumvent Pikvector's download or licensing restrictions.

Use an asset outside the rights granted by its applicable license.

8. Templates and Source Files

If Pikvector provides an editable template or source file, downloading the file does not automatically give you the right to redistribute the original template.

You may use and modify the template only as permitted by the applicable license.

Unless expressly allowed, you may not:

Resell the template itself.

Upload the template to another marketplace.

Distribute the source file.

Give the source file to unauthorized third parties.

Create a competing template library from Pikvector templates.

9. Vectors and Illustrations

Vectors and illustrations available on Pikvector are protected by copyright unless otherwise stated.

A user may modify a vector or illustration for a permitted project where the applicable license allows modification.

However, modification does not automatically transfer copyright ownership of the underlying asset.

You may not claim exclusive ownership of the original Pikvector asset merely because you modified it.

10. Photos and Videos

Photographs and videos may contain identifiable people, locations, trademarks, products, buildings, artwork, or other protected elements.

Use of such content may be subject to additional rights and restrictions.

Before using a photo or video commercially, users should review:

The applicable license

Model-release information, where relevant

Property-release information, where relevant

Editorial-use restrictions

Trademark considerations

Any other restrictions displayed with the asset

Pikvector does not guarantee that every asset is suitable for every possible commercial or legal purpose unless expressly stated in the applicable license.

Editorial content is generally intended for uses such as:

News reporting

Documentary content

Articles

Other permitted public-interest or editorial purposes

Editorial content should not be used for advertising, commercial endorsement, product packaging, promotional campaigns, or other commercial purposes unless the applicable license expressly permits such use.

Some Pikvector assets may be licensed for commercial use.

Commercial use may include permitted uses such as:

Commercial use does not mean unrestricted use.

The applicable license determines what commercial uses are permitted.

13. Logos and Trademarks

Unless expressly permitted by the applicable license, Pikvector assets should not be used as the exclusive element of a trademark, service mark, trade name, or logo.

A stock asset generally cannot provide exclusive trademark rights because the same asset may be licensed to multiple users.

Customers should obtain appropriate professional legal advice before attempting to register a logo or trademark containing third-party stock content.

14. Merchandise and Print-on-Demand

Use of Pikvector assets on products for resale, merchandise, print-on-demand products, or similar commercial products may be subject to additional restrictions.

Digital products

You may use an asset for merchandise only if the applicable license expressly permits that use.

You may not sell the original asset or a substantially unmodified version of the asset as the primary product unless expressly permitted.

15. Copyright Ownership of Contributor Content

Contributors generally retain ownership of the copyright in the content they submit to Pikvector unless a separate written agreement states otherwise.

By submitting content to Pikvector, a Contributor grants Pikvector the rights necessary to host, display, promote, distribute, and license the content according to the applicable Contributor Agreement and license terms.

Contributors must have the necessary rights and permissions before submitting content.

Review the reported content.

Contact the relevant Contributor.

Temporarily disable access to the content.

Remove the content.

20. Counter-Notice

If content has been removed or disabled because of a copyright complaint, the affected Contributor or user may contact Pikvector to dispute the claim.

Where applicable law provides a formal counter-notification procedure, the counter-notification should contain information required by the relevant law.

Pikvector may review the counter-notice and may restore content where appropriate and legally permitted.

Nothing in this section creates a legal procedure where one is not required by applicable law.

21. Repeat Infringers

Pikvector may restrict, suspend, or terminate accounts of users or Contributors who repeatedly infringe copyright or other intellectual-property rights.

Depending on the circumstances, Pikvector may also remove or restrict access to associated content.

22. False Copyright Claims

Copyright complaints should be made only when the complainant has a genuine basis for believing that infringement has occurred.

Knowingly submitting false, misleading, fraudulent, or abusive copyright claims may result in rejection of the complaint and may have legal consequences.

Pikvector may take appropriate action against repeated abuse of the copyright-reporting process.

The Pikvector website itself, including its original:

Website design

Layout

Text

Graphics

Branding

Logos

The exact rights and restrictions applicable to an asset will be stated in the relevant license or purchase information.

Where a specific asset license conflicts with a general provision of this Copyright Policy, the specific asset license will control to the extent of the conflict.

28. Removal of Infringing Content

If Pikvector determines that content may infringe copyright or other rights, we may remove, disable, replace, or restrict access to the content.

Where appropriate, we may also notify the relevant Contributor or account holder.

Removing content does not necessarily mean that Pikvector has made a final legal determination that infringement occurred.

29. Previously Licensed Content

If an asset is removed from Pikvector because of a copyright dispute, previous valid licenses may be affected only to the extent permitted by the applicable license and applicable law.

Users should retain evidence of their valid license or purchase.
