Ownership and limitations: When purchasing a Zest on Zestur, unless clearly stated otherwise on the Seller's Zest page/description, when the work is delivered, and subject to payment, the Buyer is granted all intellectual property rights, including but not limited to, copyright in the work delivered from the Seller, and the Seller waives any moral rights therein. Accordingly, the Seller expressly assigns to the Buyers the copyright in the particular work. All transfers and assignment of intellectual property to the Buyer should be subjected to full payment for the Zest, and the delivery may not be used if payment is cancelled for any reason. To clear any doubt, in custom created work (such as art work, design work, report generation etc.), the delivered work and its copyright shall be the exclusive property of the Buyer and, on delivery, the Seller agrees that it thereby, under these Terms and policies, assigns all right, title and interests in and to the delivered work to the Buyers. Some custom Zests accounts might charge additional payments for a Commercial License. Without a commercial license, you can have all the rights you need if you buy Zest for personal use. Suppose you intend to use it for any charge or other consideration, or for any purpose that is directly or indirectly in connection with any business, or other undertaking intended for profit. In specific cases, you will need to buy the Commercial Use License through a ZestMore and will have broader rights that cover your business use.
For Voiceover Zests, when the work is delivered, and subject to payment, the Buyer is purchasing basic rights, (which means the Buyer is paying a one-time fee allowing them to use the work forever and for any purpose except for commercials, radio, television and internet commercial spots). If you intend to use the Voiceover to promote a product and/or service (except paid marketing channels), you will need to purchase the Commercial Rights (Buy-Out) through ZestMore. If you want to use the Voice Over in radio, television and internet commercials, you will need to purchase the Full Broadcast Rights (Buy-Out) through Zest Account. For further information on the type of buy-outs, please read below.
Furthermore, the users (both Buyers and Sellers) agree that unless they explicitly indicate otherwise, the content users voluntarily create/upload to Zestur, including Zest texts, photos, videos, usernames, user photos, user videos and any other information, including the display of delivered work, may be used by Zestur.
When purchasing a Voice Over Zest, the Seller allows you a permanent, exclusive, non-transferable, worldwide license to use the purchased Voice Over (except for commercial, radio, television and internet commercial spots).
By purchasing a Commercial Right (Buy-Out) with your orders, in addition to the basic rights, the Seller grants you with a license to use the Voice Overs for any corporate, promotional and non-broadcast reason. Corporate, promotional and non-broadcast purposes refer any business related use to create, or to promote a for-product profit or services (except paid marketing channels), such as (by way of example): explainer videos posted to company websites, social networks or email campaign, audiobooks, podcast intros, and strictly exclude any illegal, immoral or defamatory purposes.
This Buy-Out is subject to Zestur's policies. Moreover, there is no warranty, expressed or implied, with this delivery, including concerning fitness for a particular purpose. Neither the Seller nor Zestur will be liable for any claims, or incidental, consequential or other damages arising out of this license, the delivery or your use of the delivery.
By purchasing a “Commercial Use License'' with your Zest Order, the Seller offers
you a permanent, exclusive, and non-transferable license that can be used
worldwide. To negate surplus doubt, the Seller retains all ownership rights.
“Permitted Commercial Purposes' ' means any business-related use, such as (by
way of example) advertising, promotion, creating web pages, integration into
product, software or other business-related tools etc., and strictly excludes
any illegal, immoral or defamatory purpose. This license is bound by Zestur’s
Terms of Service. There is no warranty period, express or implied, for this delivery.
I also include fitness for a specific reason. Neither the Seller nor Zestur
will be liable for any claims or incidental, consequential or other damages
driving through this license.
