You may NOT publish, distribute, or make 3D Models available through any online clearinghouse infrastructure. You may not redistribute 3D Models as part of any design template, After Effects template, stock photography, video or clip art for distribution or licensing through any online stock media clearinghouse whatever.

Editorial Uses

3D Models designated with the Editorial Use label may only be used in an editorial manner, relating to events that are newsworthy or of public interest, or an academic manner, relating to teaching purposes, scholarship, and research, and may not be used for any commercial, promotional, advertising or merchandising use. In certain very limited instances, you may otherwise have the rights to Depicted Intellectual Property in content that is labeled Editorial. For instance, you may be the advertising agency for a brand/IP owner or you may be the brand/IP owner itself purchasing content. If that is the case, you may use the 3D Models with the Editorial content commercially under the standard terms of the 3D Model License, assuming you have the rights clearance through other means. But you must have all the intellectual property rights necessary from the IP in the 3D Models and this is usually only the case for the vendor of a brand/IP or for a brand/IP owner itself. If you are unsure wether you have these rights or not, you probably do not have them. The burden and risk of confirming these rights is on you if you Purchase 3D Models. It’s solely your responsibility how you determine to use the Items from pointindex, if you have any other party consent, clearance or release to use any other party intellectual property in your projects.

Types of Editorial Uses Not Allowed

• Advertising. No advertisement productions (video, print, other), billboards, tradeshow or any other exhibit displays, etc.
• Merchandising. Products may not be used on any physical item/product for re-sale, such as a video game, t-shirt, or toys. Under no circumstances can you print or sell a 3D printed model with Depicted Intellectual Property or an Editorial Use label.
• Defamatory. No defamatory, vilifying or otherwise unlawful manner whether directly or in context or proximity with such specific subject matter.
• Branding. No incorporation or implementation into a logo, trademark or service mark. For instance, you can’t use "Editorial Use" content to create a logo design.
• Commercial Purpose. No commercial, non-news related purpose.
• Modification. A 3D Model with an Editorial Use label may not be modified so that it no longer contains Depicted Intellectual Property.

• Rights Holders: The company or individual who owns the Depicted Intellectual Property is allowed all uses in the 3D Model that is marked as "Editorial Use" License as if the 3D Model were not labeled with “Editorial Use.”

• Documentary. An example is a Boeing documentary using a 3D Model of a Boeing Plane with an "Editorial Use" label which discusses the impact of Boeing planes and services and their role in the aviation industry.
• Educational Uses. For instance, in a context of an educational institute and a high school technology teacher is using a 3D Model of a Disney princess with an "Editorial Use" label during a class discussion of animation and movement. How ever you may not redistribute any altered or unaltered 3D Models to your students for access on their personal computers (i.e. it is only allowed for school/university owned computers).
