When you search for images or icons that are 100% royalty free, the results are from our partners such as Pixabay, Unsplash and OpenClipart under the creative commons zero license, which means you can copy, modify, distribute and use the photos for free, including commercial purposes, without asking permission from or providing attribution to the photographer (although attribution is always recommended). Although rigorous standards are upheld to ensure that all images and icons from our content partners adhere to the Creative Commons CC0 licensing terms, usage of images and icons on the services are provided on an "as-is, where-is" basis without any representations or warranties whatsoever.
When you search for images using the Google Image Search, you must look for the image usage rights on Google. Google cannot tell if the license label is legitimate even if they are labelled for reuse, so we don't know if the content is lawfully licensed. Before reusing content commercially, make sure that its license is legitimate and check the exact terms of reuse. For example, the license might require that you give credit to the image creator when you use the image.
All templates provided by Desygner are 100% royalty-free, and can be downloaded/exported from the Service in a range of formats if used as is. If you modify the content with uploaded fonts, images, icons or written textual content, you must have the rights to use such content, else you must replace them with one of our royalty-free options.
If you are using layouts, fonts, textual content, icons, logos, or images that had been embedded into a PDF you imported into our Services, you must accept that you are legally allowed to use such content.
Upon termination, all licenses and other rights granted to you in these Terms of Use will immediately cease. You can delete your Desygner account at any time. If you choose to delete your account or your account is terminated due to your breach of these terms, your visual assets, campaigns, reports, lists and all other data will no longer be accessible through your account (e.g., users will not be able to navigate to your username and view your photos), but those materials and data may persist and appear within the Service (e.g., if your Content has been shared by others)." If your account is part of an organisation account, the data may be made available to one of the organization’s administrators.
