  3. Please note that by accessing this website and using and/or obtaining content from this PicApp website (the "Website"), you signify your agreement to all the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Therefore, please read this Agreement carefully before doing so. If you do not agree to be bound by this Agreement, please do not use and/or access this Website or any of PicApp Visual Content.
  4. As referred to in this Agreement, "Visual Content" shall include any still image, photograph, illustration, film, animation, clipart, composite, digital footage, digital video, film footage, font, graphics, motion sequence or any other visual representation, together with all accompanying metadata and other material that You may obtain from the WebSite. Such Visual Content includes one or more accompanying ads ("Ad(s)"), which are displayed in intervals or upon clicking on or hovering over such Visual Content.

Using PicApp


  1. By this Agreement, PicApp grants any User or Registered User (as defined below) a non- exclusive, Non-Transferable right to perform any of the following permitted uses with the Visual Content ("Permitted Uses"): use, publish online, publicly display and reproduce Visual Content from the Website. In addition, you may post comments on Visual content and/or edit Visual Content, in accordance with PicApp website policies and other policies, by using tools provided on the Website.
  2. The term "Non-Transferable" as used in Paragraph 5 means that your performance of Permitted Uses must be solely for your benefit. You may not sell, rent, loan, lease, give, sublicense, trade, exchange, make available for exchange or download, or otherwise transfer to anyone the Visual Content, or grant any other person or entity the right to perform any Permitted Uses other than Viral Use (as defined below). You agree to take all commercially reasonable steps to prevent third parties from performing any Permitted Uses, other than by Viral Usage. Note that any use of the Visual Content without agreeing to this Agreement, or breach of the terms of this Agreement shall constitute infringement of copyright.
  3. Permitted Uses does not include allowing third party end-users, target audiences or recipients of such Visual Content to download or copy any Visual Content, other than to copy and use such Visual Content for web use, by electing to do so from a viral menu attached to such Visual Content ("Viral Use"). Any user performing Viral Use shall be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement and be deemed to have agreed to all such terms and conditions, as applicable. If Your use of the Visual Content is syndicated by You to third parties, or You give permission to others to copy the Visual Content and the surrounding text to be reproduced verbatim on another web page or web site (to the extent permitted herein), You must notify such third party that their acceptance of this Agreement is a pre-condition to being allowed to perform such syndication or reproduction, and You shall verify that they agree to same.

  5. Please note that in order to receive any consideration for the performance of any Permitted Uses (as defined below) in the Visual Content, you will need to register to this Website and thus become a registered user ("Registered User") instead of a non-registered user ("User").
