End User Licence Agreement
Welcome to Text Animator's licence and thank you for considering purchasing the asset (or for doing it already)!
The asset uses a custom licence to make sure it's even more accessible for everyone (previously it was per seat, which didn't help scaling for student teams, indies without funding and also bigger companies), and that it also protects us from generative AI and the other situations we learned in the past 5 years.
In a few words:
You can use the version you download forever!
Text Animator has different pricing based on your revenue, so that we grow as you grow.
We can grant you a specific or custom licence if you need!
Any future licence change will not be retroactive.
You can't use the asset to train generative AI or share the source code publicly.
If you have any question or need a custom license, please contact us at any time! We're doing our best to have a licence that is as accessible as possible and to accomodate everyone, so we're looking forward to hearing from you!
