Licensing Terms

Last Updated: December 25, 2024

WildLights HDRIs are sold under a Royalty-Free License, granting customers the right to use the images in both personal and commercial projects without additional fees or royalties. Pricing is based on the size of the purchasing organization, with different rates for large studios / corporations. Additionally, if the HDRI data is intended for use in machine learning (ML) or AI training projects, including generative AI, customized pricing may apply depending on the scope and scale of the project. Please Contact Us for specific pricing details based on your needs.

General Licensing Information

  • License Scope: The licenses are perpetual, meaning they are a one-time payment for lifetime usage. The licenses are granted per individual or company and can be used in an unlimited number of projects.

  • Modifications and Derivatives: Users are permitted to freely modify the HDRI files for their projects. Additionally, they can create derivative works from the HDRIs.

  • Credit Requirements: Users are not required to credit WildLights when using the HDRI files in their projects.

Usage Rights and Restrictions

  • Personal Use: Users are allowed to use HDRI files for personal, non-commercial projects.

  • Commercial Use: HDRI files can be used in commercial products or projects, with the exception that the distribution of the HDRI files is prohibited. If you plan on including the HDRI files in a game or VR/AR experience, please contact us for potential arrangements, which can be handled on a case-by-case basis.

  • Machine Learning / Generative AI Use: If you plan to use the HDRIs in datasets for training machine learning or generative AI models, please contact us. Pricing will be tailored based on the scope of the project, intended use, and the size of your organization. Internal ML/AI usage (not distributed outside the organization) is permitted without contacting WildLights.

  • Redistribution: Redistribution of purchased HDRI files outside the purchasing organization is strictly prohibited. Users are also not allowed to include HDRIs in projects or packages that will be sold or shared. Special use cases may be authorized; please reach out for further discussion.

  • Exclusivity: HDRI files are not exclusive to any single customer. However, exclusive access to certain files can be negotiated upon request.

  • Prohibited Uses: WildLights products must not be used for illegal activities or harmful applications.

Pricing and Fees

  • Pricing Tiers: Freelancers, small studios, and organizations with 50 or fewer employees can purchase HDRI files from the website at the current pricing. Large studios and corporations should contact us directly for pricing tailored to the scope of their project and the size of their organization. If you plan to purchase the entire WildLights collection, file delivery can be greatly facilitated as opposed to buying and downloading each file individually.

  • Machine Learning / AI Use Pricing: Freelancers and small studios using the files for machine learning or generative AI models intended for distribution should contact us for customized pricing. Internal ML/AI usage (not distributed externally) is authorized without prior contact.

  • Bulk Discounts: Freelancers and small studios interested in purchasing the entire WildLights collection should contact us to receive a discount on their purchase.

Ownership and Intellectual Property

  • Ownership: Users do not own the HDRI files after purchase; they only hold a license to use the files in their projects.

  • Copyright: Users are not permitted to claim ownership of modified versions of the HDRI files.

  • Resale: Users may not resell or sublicense the HDRI files.

Enforcement and Violations

  • License Violations: Violating the licensing terms may result in legal action and revocation of access to the purchased files.

  • Monitoring Usage: Links to files or the files themselves may be marked in order to trace any unauthorized sharing that violates the licensing terms.

Additional Provisions

  • Trial Usage: Each HDRI sold on the website is made available as a low-resolution, watermarked sample, which can be downloaded to test before making a purchase. Additionally, high-resolution, watermark-free samples are available on the website, showcasing the quality of files that can be obtained by purchasing.

  • Custom Licensing: We are open to negotiating custom licensing terms for specific users or projects. Please Contact Us to discuss your needs.

  • Updates and Revisions: If an HDRI file is updated or corrected, the new version will be made available to previous buyers. Any major changes to the licensing terms will be communicated to users via email.

These terms are designed to protect the interests of both WildLights and its users, ensuring fair usage while offering flexibility for a range of projects. Please review them carefully and reach out if you have any questions or need additional clarification.
