        Notwithstanding the above, you may use licensed Content solely within MotionElements’ own AI‑based services (including any current or future generative AI platforms offered by MotionElements) to create new generative works. Such use must be conducted exclusively through MotionElements’ platforms and remains subject to all other terms of this License. All other AI‑related uses of Content—such as with third‑party AI tools—are prohibited unless you obtain a separate dataset license.

   3. Any music inherent (other than the Audio Content made available for purchase on the Website) which may be included with the Content is ambient sound only. It was not recorded and is not compressed in a format suitable for any other use, and MotionElements authorizes no use.

   6. Availability For Musical Works: Unless Audio Content is stated on the Website as being "Available For Musical Works", you may not:

      • use it, in whole or in part without synchronization or other combination with other original work(s) of authorship so that the combination forms a derivative work;
      • use it, in whole or in part, as an element of a new musical work (e.g., by combining the music Audio Content with other work so that a copyright can be asserted in the resulting song); or
      • modify it, in whole or in part, so that a copyright can be claimed in the resulting song other than as part of an End Product that consists of an audio visual work, an internet page or computer or mobile device application.
      • edit, modify, or alter it (i) beyond basic editing (e.g., setting fade-in/fade-out points, determining start and end points, or using only a selection of the piece), (ii) in a way that alters its fundamental character, harmonic structure, lyrics and/or melody, or (iii) to the prejudice of the unwaivable moral rights of the Contributor;

   7. Product Endorsement or Sensitive Use Disclaimer: If any Content featuring a model is used in (i) a manner that would lead a reasonable person to believe that the model personally uses or endorses a product or service; or (ii) if the depiction of the model is used in connection with a subject that would be unflattering, embarrassing or unduly controversial to a reasonable person, you must accompany each such use with a conspicuous statement that indicates that the person is a model and the Content is being used for illustrative purposes only. These requirements are without prejudice to the obligations of MotionElements regarding use of the Content contained elsewhere throughout this Agreement.

   8. Releases and Clearances: MotionElements will notify you where it has obtained a model release and/or a property release for Content, either in the Website, or by other means.

We shall give you as much advance notice as practicable of any such withdrawal. You acknowledge that our right to withdraw content pursuant to this paragraph is of a special and unique character which gives it a peculiar value and that your license or other exploitation of Content after the effective date of a notice of withdrawal could cause us irreparable injury and damage.

If any provision or part thereof of this Agreement is stricken in accordance with the provisions of this section, then this stricken provision shall be replaced, to the extent possible, with a legal, enforceable, and valid provision that is as similar in tenor to the stricken provision as is legally possible.
    11. Interpretation: Words like ‘include’ and ‘including’ are not words of limitation and where anything is within our discretion we mean our sole discretion.

    13. Language of the Terms: Where MotionElements has provided you with a translation of the English language version of the Terms, then you agree that the translation is provided for your convenience only and that the English language versions of the Terms will govern your relationship with us. If there is any contradiction between what the English language version of the Terms says and what a translation says, then the English language version shall take precedence.
