This Disclaimer Applies to Supersede Customers on a Paid Subscription Plan Only:
As part of Zutrue projects, we might use stock material covered under specific licenses if required by and agreed with you. Please note that we are not permitted to transfer stock source files to you; purchased licenses only allow Zutrue to make use of or edits to the stock content, so if you would like to reuse a source file or apply it differently, you will need to ask Zutrue to do so on your behalf to avoid potentially being in violation of content licenses. As our customer, you are responsible for the correct use under the respective licenses.
Zutrue shall bear no responsibility whatsoever should your initial intended use for any project change and should the license(s) and/or usage(s) secured for you by Zutrue be inadequate for your altered intended use of any project. You warrant and represent that you own the intellectual property right(s) or possess the appropriate license(s) and/or usage(s) for any Third-Party Materials provided by you to Zutrue and which are incorporated in any project.
