License Agreement(s) (Revised)

 Effective date: 23/12/2025
Last updated: 23/12/2025

 

This License Agreement (the “Agreement” or “LA”) is a legally binding contract between you, the Customer (either an individual or the entity you represent) (“you”, “Customer”), and DCH CARE SERVICES LIMITED (13742448) (the “Company”, “we”, “us”, “our”). It governs your rights and obligations regarding the use of any licensed content, products, or services provided by the Company through its website (the “Website”).

By placing an order or licensing content through the Website, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by this Agreement. If you are acting on behalf of an employer or another legal entity, you represent and warrant that you are duly authorized to enter into this Agreement on its behalf.

The Company may modify or update this Agreement at its sole discretion. Any modifications apply prospectively and do not affect licences already acquired. We may notify Customers of material changes by reasonable means (including email, website announcements, or login notices). Continued use or licensing of content after such changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the revised Agreement.

The Company operates the Website as a direct seller of licensed products. Some products may originate from independent collaborators or contributors who offer content to the Company for acquisition or licensing. Once accepted by the Company, such products are sold or licensed exclusively by the Company to Customers. Customers do not purchase products from collaborators, and collaborators do not act as sellers, licensors, agents, or contracting parties toward Customers.

The Company issues (electronically) a licence record for each purchase made on the Website. By completing an order, you automatically accept this Agreement.

Licence Categories

The Company provides two categories of licences for its products:

  • Licence for Non-Exclusive Private Use (“Private Licence”)

  • Licence for Non-Exclusive Commercial Use (“Commercial Licence”)

I. Grant of Licence

1.1 General Rights

Subject to your payment and compliance with this Agreement, the Company grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual right to use the licensed product (the “Product”) in accordance with the applicable licence category and the restrictions below.

1.2 Licence for Non-Exclusive Private Use

The Private Licence authorizes you to:

  • incorporate the Product into online advertising and personal/corporate identity materials for non-commercial use;

  • use the Product as part of internal personal projects;

  • make reasonable modifications necessary to use the Product for the permitted purposes.

The Private Licence does not allow use in paid client work or other commercial exploitation.

1.3 Licence for Non-Exclusive Commercial Use

The Commercial Licence includes all rights under Section 1.2 and, in addition, authorizes you to:

  • use the Product for business purposes (including marketing, corporate identity, and commercial projects);

  • use the Product in client projects provided that you do not transfer or deliver the Product as a standalone template/source files to the client, unless expressly permitted in writing by the Company.

Clarification on “resale”: You may monetize your own goods/services using a project that incorporates the Product (e.g., a website you build using the Product). You may not resell, redistribute, or repackage the Product itself as a standalone template/asset except where the Company expressly grants such rights in writing or via a specific “extended/buyout” licence (if offered).

II. Restrictions on Use (All Licences)

You agree that you shall not:

  • use the Product in any manner not expressly permitted by the applicable licence;

  • resell, redistribute, provide access to, share, or transfer the Product (modified or unmodified), including by uploading it to any marketplace, repository, template library, or similar service, except as expressly permitted by the Company in writing;

  • use any Product in a pornographic, defamatory, misleading, obscene, or unlawful context;

  • infringe third-party intellectual property rights (including trademarks), or engage in deceptive advertising or unfair competition;

  • use the Product, in whole or in part, as a trademark, service mark, logo, or trade name without an appropriate licence;

  • falsely represent, directly or indirectly, that you are the author or creator of the Product.

Depictions of persons (“Model”) — if applicable

Where the Product depicts an identifiable person (“Model”), you must not portray the Model in a way a reasonable person would find offensive, including (without limitation) in connection with:

  • pornography, adult entertainment, escort or dating services;

  • promotion of tobacco products;

  • political advertising or endorsement of candidates, parties, or policies;

  • depictions suggesting physical or mental illness;

  • illegal, immoral, or defamatory activities.

III. Warranties and Representations

The Company warrants and represents that:

  • it has obtained all necessary rights from contributors/licensors to grant the licences specified herein; and

  • when used in unaltered form and in full compliance with this Agreement and applicable laws, the Product will not, to the Company’s knowledge, infringe copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property rights, violate third-party privacy/publicity rights, or be defamatory, libelous, pornographic, or obscene.

Other than the warranties expressly provided in this section, the Company disclaims all additional warranties, whether express or implied, to the maximum extent permitted by law.

IV. Indemnification and Liability

4.1 No liability for modifications / context

The Company shall not be liable for damages, costs, or losses resulting from modifications you make to the Product or from the manner/context in which you use the Product.

4.2 Indemnity

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Company and its affiliates, officers, employees, shareholders, directors, and suppliers against any claims, damages, liabilities, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from:

  • any use of the Product beyond the rights expressly granted herein; or

  • any breach of this Agreement or other applicable agreements with the Company.

V. Additional Terms

5.1 Taxes

All fees are exclusive of applicable taxes unless stated otherwise. You are responsible for paying any indirect or transactional taxes (including VAT, GST, or sales tax) as required by law in your jurisdiction.

5.2 Assignment

Neither party may assign this Agreement without the other party’s prior written consent, except that the Company may assign it to an affiliate, a successor entity through merger/reorganization, or an acquirer of substantially all of its assets.

5.3 Governing Law and Jurisdiction

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales. The parties irrevocably agree that the courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction to hear and determine any disputes arising out of or in connection with this Agreement (including any question regarding its existence, validity, or termination).

5.4 Authority

If you enter into this Agreement on behalf of an entity, you represent and warrant that you have full authority to do so. If such authority is lacking, you agree to be personally liable for any resulting breach.

5.5 Severability

If any provision of this Agreement is found invalid or unenforceable, the remainder shall remain in full force and effect.

5.6 No Legal Advice

Any feedback provided by the Company or its representatives concerning this Agreement is solely interpretive in nature and does not constitute legal advice.

5.7 Third-Party Rights

This Agreement is entered into solely for the mutual benefit of the parties and does not confer any rights or obligations on third parties.

5.8 Liability Limitation

The Company’s liability under any licence shall not exceed the amount actually paid by you for the applicable Product giving rise to the claim. Except as expressly provided herein, the Company shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, loss of profits, or loss of data, even if advised of the possibility thereof.
