The following Contributor License Terms (“Contributor Terms”) constitute a legally binding, non-exclusive agreement between the Company and the contributor (“Contributor”), as the author and/or owner of all necessary exploitation rights in the photos, vectors, illustrations, PSD files, videos, tutorials (including text and/or video and/or voice recording), recordings or footings, that Contributor uploads at any time to Freepik, Flaticon or any other service managed by the Company or its Affiliates (“Licensed Works”). For the purposes of these Contributor Terms, “Affiliate” means a person that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, owns or controls, is owned or is controlled by, or is under common ownership or control with, the Company, and control has a meaning as stated in Article 42 of Spanish Commercial Code.

These Contribution Terms govern the supply by the Contributor and the Contributor’s license to the Company for the use, exploitation and commercialization of Licensed Works. For the avoidance of doubt, the subject of this agreement is a license to the Company to distribute the Licensed Works as stated in these Contributor Terms.

By registering as a Contributor and submitting Licensed Works to Freepik, Flaticon or any other service managed by the Company, the Contributor agrees to all the terms in these Contributor Terms, without exception or reservation. These Contributor Terms shall apply to any Licensed Work uploaded by Contributor to Freepik, Flaticon or any other service managed by the Company or its Affiliates, during its term as established in section 5 below. Regarding the collection and processing of personal data, section 9 below and the Privacy Policy shall apply.

1. Registration

1.1. In order to upload and license the Licensed Works, the Contributor must register by creating a username and password and activating an account (the “Account”). To this end the Contributor must provide a valid email address at which the Contributor may receive notifications related to these Contributor Terms or the License (as defined below). If the Contributor is a legal entity or business, its username must be its full name or corporate name and the person registering on behalf of the legal entity or business declares that he/she is duly authorized to bind such legal entity or business and that such legal entity or business shall be bound to these Contributor Terms. The Contributor shall not have more than one active Account at any time without the written consent of the Company in each instance.

1.2. The Contributor agrees to provide the mandatory information which is required for registration and also acknowledges that such information is true, complete and up to date. It is the Contributor’s responsibility to keep such information updated. Should the Contributor provide false, outdated or incomplete information, or should the Company have reason to suspect as such, the Company reserves the right to suspend or cancel the Contributor’s Account.

1.3. The Contributor must protect and keep confidential the Account password without disclosing it to third parties. The Contributor must not allow third parties to use the Contributor’s Account nor use the Account of another contributor.

1.4. The Contributor is responsible for all acts carried out through the Contributor’s Account through any device. If the Contributor suspects that a third party is using its Account, it should immediately inform the Company.

The Company may suspend or cancel the Contributor’s Account if it considers that the Contributor has breached these Contributor Terms.

1.5. The Contributor acknowledges their sole responsibility to maintain external backups of the Licensed Works. Freepik shall bear no liability for the loss or failure to store such Works.

The License is granted for the term set forth in section 5 of these Contributor Terms and for the remuneration set forth in section 4 of these Contributor Terms (the “Remuneration”). In addition, the Contributor authorizes the Company to use its name in connection with the exploitation of the Rights.

2.2. The Contributor acknowledges that the Company shall freely decide the feasibility of each Licensed Work and the strategy for its distribution. Pursuant to the above License, Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to license the Licensed Works to the users of Freepik, Flaticon, or any other service from the Company or its Affiliates, pursuant to terms in Section 2.3 (Distribution of Licensed Works through Freepik, Flaticon or any other service from the Company or its Affiliates); or to a third party, including a Distribution Partner (as defined below), pursuant to terms in Section 2.4 (Distribution of Licensed Works through Distribution Partners.

2.3. Distribution of Licensed Works through Freepik, Flaticon or any other service from the Company or its Affiliates)

2.3.1. Regarding the distribution of Licensed Works through Freepik, Flaticon or any other service from the Company (or its Affiliates), terms of use and license in Freepik, Flaticon or any service available from time to time by the Company or its Affiliates, are deemed incorporated into this License by reference. Such licenses to users can be granted for up to the period of duration of the Rights as provided under any applicable law and, therefore, licenses issued by the Company or its Affiliates to such users shall remain in full force and effect after termination or expiration of this License. The Company reserves the right to change such terms of use at any time.

2.3.2. In the distribution of the Licensed Works through Freepik’s and/or its Affiliates’ own websites, the Company or its Affiliates will determine at its entire discretion which Licensed Works will be made available to premium users (i.e. users who have purchased any subscription from the Company which remains active at the time the Licensed Works are licensed to them) of Freepik, Flaticon, or any other service, as provided herein and in accordance with their respective terms of use and licenses (the “Premium Licensed Works”) and which Licensed Works will be made generally available to the users of Freepik, Flaticon, or any other service, in accordance with their respective terms of use and licenses (the “Non-Premium Licensed Works”). On a general basis, by submitting or uploading any Licensed Work, it will be distributed as a Premium Licensed Work in the above services. Nonetheless, the Company or the relevant Affiliate may inform the Contributor of the determination made for the exploitation of the Licensed Works in any manner it deems appropriate including without limitation by making part of the Licensed Works only available to premium users in the relevant service. The Company or the relevant Affiliate shall be entitled to alter the initial determination between Premium Licensed Works and Non-Premium Licensed Works at any time.

2.4. Distribution of Licensed Works through Distribution Partners

2.4.1. The Contributor agrees that the Company shall have the non-exclusive right, but not the obligation, to also license (with a right to assign or sub-license to third parties) the Rights on the Licensed Works to third party distributors (“Distribution Partner(s)”) with whom the Company may enter into an agreement for the distribution of the Licensed Works in sites or services of such Distribution Partners in any territory.

Such licenses to the Distribution Partners’ customers or end-users can be granted for up to the period of duration of the Rights as provided under any applicable law and, therefore, licenses granted by the Distribution Partners to its customers end-users shall remain in full force and effect after termination of expiration of the License. The Contributor acknowledges and agrees that the Distribution Partners’ customers or end-user´s license terms may differ from the Company´s or Affiliate’s Terms of use and the Company shall not assume any liability arising therefrom, but will not knowingly allow the use or license of the Licensed Works for uses that are defamatory, pornographic or otherwise illegal.

It is agreed that all income taxes applicable on payments effected by the Company to the Contributor, shall be borne by the Contributor and will be deducted from any remuneration payable to the Contributor according to these Contributor Terms taking into account any Double Taxation Agreement or any other tax regulations that may be applicable.

3.2. The Contributor undertakes that the Licensed Works shall not contain any material unlawful to use, exploit or distribute by the Company, its Affiliates or the Distribution Partners under the License for any reason and shall not contain any third party copyright material or material subject to third party proprietary rights (including privacy and image rights), unless the Contributor has been duly authorized from the relevant owner of rights or is otherwise legally entitled to use such material and to grant the License. The latter exception shall not apply to any Licensed Work which includes the image, name or the voice of any individual, in which case, the Contributor shall always have obtained prior written releases from the relevant individuals. The Contributor shall be the only one responsible for obtaining and maintaining all required written authorizations, consents and releases necessary for the use, exploitation and distribution of the Licensed Works by the Company, its Affiliates or the Distribution Partners in accordance with the License, a copy of which shall be provided to Company upon request.

3.4. The Contributor shall bear all costs relating to all participation and residual fees payable to third parties resulting from the use, exploitation, or distribution of the Licensed Works under the License, including all payments that may be required under collective bargaining.

4.Remuneration

4.1. Remuneration for Licensed Works distributed through Freepik, Flaticon or any other service from the Company or its Affiliates.

4.1.1. The Remuneration for Licensed Works distributed through Freepik, Flaticon or any other service from the Company or its Affiliates (including API) shall be subject to the following rules:

a) The Remuneration for Licensed Works distributed as Premium Licensed Works shall consist of fifty percent (50%) of the net revenue generated to the Company or its relevant Affiliate by each download of the Licensed Work
b) As most Licensed Works shall be distributed as Premium Licensed Works, in the exceptional case that a Licensed Work should be distributed as Non-Premium Licensed Works, the Remuneration shall be discussed with the Contributor.
4.1.2. In consideration of the License of Rights under these Contributor Terms, the Company shall pay (i) the Remuneration for the Premium Licensed Works corresponding to the number of downloads of the Premium Licensed Work as described in section 4.1.1.; and (ii) the Remuneration for the Non-Premium Licensed Works corresponding to the Contributor for the number of downloads of each Non-Premium Licensed Work as described in section 4.1.1. If the same user makes more than one download of the same Licensed Work, only one download shall be counted for this purpose. Any payment will be conditional on receipt or production by the Company or by its relevant Affiliate of a valid invoice complying with all applicable legal requirements, as provided below. The Contributor shall not be entitled to any further payment.

4.1.3. For the purposes of calculating the Remuneration for the Premium Licensed Works, the net revenues generated by each download of a Premium Licensed Work made by any given premium user shall be determined by the Company or by its relevant Affiliate in each calendar month by dividing (a) the net revenue actually received from subscription fees paid by said given premium user in that calendar month by (b) the total number of downloads completed by said given premium user in such calendar month. Without prejudice to the foregoing, and depending on the type of Premium Licensed Work, the Company may associate a higher quantitative value to certain downloads of Premium Licensed Works carried out by premium users with respect to regular downloads, for the purposes of the calculation set forth herein. The Company will make available to the Contributor, using reasonable means, information on the criteria applied in this respect, which may be modified from time to time by the Company.

4.1.4. For the purposes of calculating the Remuneration, any downloads of the Premium Licensed Works or the Non-Premium Licensed Works corresponding to downloads which in the reasonable opinion of the Company supported by sufficient data: (i) are not the result of a genuine legitimate interest of an user; or (ii) are the result of any method which artificially increases the number of downloads, accesses or clicks over such Premium Licensed Works or Non-Premium Licensed Works (including without limitation the generation of downloads through any robots, spiders or any other mechanism, mobile application, program or tool); will be disregarded. If such practices are identified in relation to downloads of the Licensed Works, the Company shall be entitled to withhold any amounts due to the Contributor under these Contributor Terms, be refunded for any amounts already paid to the Contributor and be indemnified by the Contributor for all damages suffered as a result thereof.

4.1.5. The Company may offer directly or through its Affiliates new products, services or licensing models, or enter into ad hoc licensing agreements with certain users or customers, which involve the payment of a fixed license fee or any other remuneration. In the event that the Company licenses the Licensed Works in exchange for a fixed license fee or any other remuneration, the Contributor shall receive 50% of the net revenues perceived by the Company or its relevant Affiliate for each Licensed Work.

4.2. Remuneration for Licensed Works distributed through Distribution Partners. The Remuneration for Licensed Works distributed through Distribution Partners shall be fifty percent (50%) of any net revenue paid by any Distribution Partner to the Company for the distribution of the Licensed Works. For the purposes of calculating this Remuneration, net revenues shall be determined in reports issued by the Company, at least, in a quarterly basis, according to the reports provided by the Distribution Partners and considering the amounts actually received by the Company from the Distribution Partners in that calendar period. The Contributor acknowledges that payment by the Distribution Partners may be subject to reaching minimum amounts and to currency exchanges and other expenses and that Distribution Partners may delay the supply of reports on the use of Licensed Works.

4.3. The conditions of the Remuneration stated in this Section may change with a one-month prior notice by the Company to the Contributor. Any notification in the Contributor’s Account shall be deemed as a notice for the purposes herein. Continuing to submit or upload Licensed Works, not removing Licensed Works after the above one-month period or accepting further invoices, is deemed as an acceptance by the Contributor of the changes in the Remuneration.

4.4. Any Remuneration shall be paid to a Paypal/Payoneer account or any of the payment services available from time to time. The Contributor acknowledges and accepts that it shall have or open a Paypal/Payoneer account for such purpose. Information about the accrued Remuneration shall be available in the management section of the Contributor’s Account. The minimum payment is 50 US$ or EUR (although the Company may decide to reduce such amount at any time without prior notice). In case the Remuneration accrued during any calendar month is less than 50 US$ or EUR, such Remuneration shall be brought forward to the following calendar month until the accumulative Remuneration reaches 50 US$ or EUR.

4.5. If the Company makes an overpayment for any reason, the Company shall have the right to deduct the amount of such overpayment from any other Remuneration or to demand its immediate repayment. In addition, the Company is entitled to deduct refunds and chargebacks from the accrued Remunerations.

4.6. The Contributor shall lose any rights to the accrued Remuneration which is under the minimum payment in any of the following circumstances: (i) if the Contributor requests the Company to close the Contributor’s Account or terminates these Contributor Terms in accordance with Section 5; (ii) if the Company terminates these Contributor Terms based on any breach by the Contributor of the obligations set out herein; or (iii) if the Company decides (for whatever reason) to discontinue the service where the Licensed Works are distributed. Upon the occurrence of any of the above circumstances, the Contributor waives any right to make any claim against the Company for any accrued amount under the minimum payment.

4.7. With the aim of simplifying the invoicing procedure and as allowed by VAT applicable regulations, the invoicing and payment shall be made as follows: the Contributor hereby authorizes the Company to issue, on its behalf, those invoices for the License of the Rights by the Contributor to the Company. Within the first ten (10) days of each calendar month, reports on any Remuneration accrued by the Contributor during the previous calendar month shall be available at management section of the Contributor’s Account, together with a proforma invoice according to such report. Reports provided as stated herein shall be deemed accepted by the Contributor in case it does not make any objection within fifteen (15) days after the report is available. The Company shall issue the invoice once the Contributor has accepted the proforma invoice through the Contributor’s Account and such invoice shall become available for the Contributor in the Contributor’s Account. The invoices shall be issued as stated by applicable regulations. The Company shall pay invoices within one (1) month from the issuance date. The Company may charge and the Contributor shall pay any applicable taxes, as established by applicable regulations, and such taxes shall be stated in the invoice.

4.8. Company shall not reimburse to the Contributor any expense, if any, incurred within the design, creation and development of the Licensed Works, even if carried out under the direction and instructions of the Company.

5. Term

5.1. These Contributor Terms enter into force from registration of the Contributor in the Contributor’s Account and each License shall commence on the date on which the Licensed Work is submitted to the Company as set forth in section 2.1 above, and both the Contributor Terms and the Licenses shall remain in full force and effect indefinitely until termination as set forth herein.

5.2. The Contributor may terminate these Contributor Terms at any time. In such a case:

Upon removal of all Licensed Works, these Contributor Terms and the Licenses shall be deemed terminated.
b) The Company will use reasonable efforts to cease the distribution by Distribution Partners and to have the Licensed Works removed from Distribution Partners sites or services within 90 days from the expiration of the licensed period agreed with each Distribution Partners, of which the Contributor will be informed.

5.3.

d) Carry out any action that may damage, make unavailable, overload, deteriorate or impede the ordinary use of Freepik, Flaticon, or any other service managed by the Company, its Affiliates or the Distribution Partners, which may impact the security of them, or which may in any way interfere with the services offered by them; or
e) Breach any of these Contributor Terms or any other agreement with the Company
5.4. After termination of these Contributor Terms, any licenses to a Licensed Work granted to the users as provided in section 2 prior to the removal of that Licensed Work will survive.
