The full terms follow. If the summary and the terms differ, the terms apply.
1. Words used here
- We and us: Socket & Pivot.
- You: the person or organisation that bought or downloaded the product.
- The Assets: everything in the download, including 3D models, textures, materials, Blueprints, data, maps, Blender files and exported files, in their original form or changed.
- A Project: a game, app, film, animation, render, VR or AR experience, prototype, client job or course that you make and in which the Assets are only a part.
- A Seat: one person who can open or edit the Assets in their source form (in Unreal Engine, Blender or another editor).
2. Which licence you have
| Licence | Who it's for | Seats |
|---|---|---|
| Free (free products, such as the Corner Store Sampler) | Anyone | No limit |
| Personal (the standard price) | An individual, or an organisation whose total revenue and funding in the last 12 months was under US$100,000 | No limit inside that individual's or organisation's own work |
| Studio | An organisation at or above US$100,000 in revenue and funding in the last 12 months | Up to 10 Seats per Studio licence. For more people, buy one more Studio licence per 10 Seats, or email us for a site licence |
If your organisation grows past the Personal limit, you keep using Assets in Projects already released. For new work, upgrade to a Studio licence by paying the difference: email hello@socketandpivot.com.
3. What you can do
We grant you a worldwide, non-exclusive, perpetual licence to use, change and combine the Assets in your Projects, commercial or non-commercial, in any number of Projects.
You may:
- ship the Assets inside a finished Project, for example in a packaged game or a rendered video;
- keep the Assets in a Project's source files and share them with the people working on that Project, including contractors and clients, in a private repository or private file share;
- hand over a Project's source files, Assets included, to a client who commissioned it. The client may use the Assets in that Project only, unless they get their own licence;
- show the Assets in screenshots, trailers, portfolios and tutorials about your Project.
4. What you can't do
You may not:
- Redistribute or resell the Assets themselves. Don't sell, share, sublicense, upload or give away the Assets on their own or in a collection, changed or unchanged, in any file format. This includes asset packs, kits, templates, starter projects, libraries, marketplace listings, game mods sold as assets, and tokens such as NFTs.
- Publish them in source form. Don't put the Assets in a public repository or public download where others can take them out as files. An open-source Project may include them only in packaged or compiled form.
- Use them for AI (NoAI). Don't use the Assets, or anything made from them, to train, fine-tune, evaluate or prompt machine-learning or generative AI models, including image-to-3D or texture generators, and don't include them in a dataset for that purpose. Using the Assets in a Project that uses AI for something else is fine.
- Claim authorship or endorsement. Don't say you made the Assets, and don't use the Socket & Pivot name or logo to suggest we endorse you or your Project.
5. Fictional brands
The brands, logos and packaging shown on the Assets are invented for our products. You may show them in your Projects as part of the Assets. Each product's LICENSE.txt names them.
6. Third-party material
Some textures are made from CC0 (public domain) scans, and packaging artwork is set in fonts under the SIL Open Font License. Each product's THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.txt lists these sources. They stay under their own licences; this licence covers the work we made from them.
7. Updates
Updates to a product (for example 1.0.1 or 1.1) are free for everyone who has it, from the store where they got it. A new product with a new name, such as a sequel kit, is a separate purchase.
8. Refunds
Our refund policy applies to purchases from socketandpivot.com and Gumroad: if a product doesn't work as described and we can't fix it, you get your money back within 30 days of purchase. Fab and Superhive purchases are refunded under those stores' own policies.
9. No warranty
The Assets are provided "as is". We test them in the software versions listed in each product's documentation, but we don't promise they suit any particular use. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for any loss or damage from using them, and our total liability is limited to the price you paid.
10. Ending the licence
This licence ends automatically if you break it. Projects you released before then keep the right to use the Assets they contain. If you fix the breach within 30 days of our notice, the licence continues.
11. Law
This licence is governed by the laws of India. Nothing in it removes rights you have under the consumer law of the country where you live.
12. Changes to this licence
We may publish new versions of this licence for future purchases. A product you already have stays under the version that came with it, unless you choose a later one.
