About Us and This License
Welcome: This is the S7SoftwareHub License (S7
License), applicable to Individual and Team subscriptions for
S7SoftwareHub. If you require extended or enterprise license rights, please
contact us directly.
Terms: This S7 License, which supplements and forms
part of the S7SoftwareHub User Terms, forms a legally binding agreement between
you and us regarding your use of Items. If there is an inconsistency between
this S7 License and the S7SoftwareHub User Terms, this S7 License will prevail
to the extent necessary to resolve the inconsistency.
Definitions and interpretation: Terms defined or
explained in the S7SoftwareHub User Terms have the same meaning in this License
unless otherwise defined herein or unless the context requires differently.
Words like “include” and “including” are not words of limitation. References to
matters “within our discretion” mean our sole discretion.
The Low-Down! The Nuts and Bolts of the S7 License
License granted: For each Item you download and
register under your active S7SoftwareHub subscription, you are granted a
license to use the Item on a non-exclusive, commercial, worldwide, and
revocable basis, for one single use per registration.
If you want to license and use an Item, you must have a valid
and active S7SoftwareHub subscription.
Each time you download and register an Item, you receive a
license for a single use of that Item. If you want to use the same Item in
another project, you must register it again for each new use.
Item ownership: Items available on S7SoftwareHub are
owned by the respective creators or publishers of the Item (each being an Author).
You cannot claim ownership of an Item, even if you modify it (e.g., through
content identification systems). You only have the right to use each Item in
accordance with this S7 License.
Single Use
For most Items: A single use means incorporating the
Item into one End Product that requires skill and effort to create. Examples
include:
- Templates:
A customized implementation of the Item.
- Audio
files: Syncing music with a video, podcast, or presentation, where the
Item becomes part of a larger work.
- Graphics,
photos, or other media: Incorporating the Item into a broader design
or work, making it different in scope and nature than the Item alone.
For Fonts and Add-ons: A single use means
installation of the Item on your device. Once installed during your active
subscription, you may use it in multiple projects for as long as your
subscription remains active.
This registration approach ensures fair revenue
allocation to Authors on S7SoftwareHub.
License Commencement
The license for an Item starts when you register your use of
it, and is only valid if you complete the End Product while your subscription
is active.
Once the registered Item has been incorporated into a
completed End Product during your active subscription, the license becomes perpetual
— it continues for the lifetime of that End Product, even after your
subscription ends.
Distribution Rights
Each license includes the right to:
- Display,
reproduce, distribute, and perform the End Product you created using the
Item.
- Use
the End Product commercially, subject to the restrictions outlined in this
License.
Special note for audio Items: Broadcasting rights
(such as television or radio) may be restricted — see the Music Item section
below.
Usage Terms for Items
What you can do:
- Use an
Item to create an End Product for yourself or for a client.

Item cannot be extracted, resold, or reused separately by the client.

What you can’t do:

completed End Product).
- Redistribute
an Item as-is, whether free or paid.
