      10.2.1. distribution of Models recorded on electronic media (hard disks, etc.);

      10.2.2. bringing to the public the Model in three dimensions (in the initial form of the 3D model) in such a way that any person can access the three-dimensional image of the Model from anywhere and at any time of their own free will, for example, uploading the original Model downloaded from the Website to the Internet;

   10.4. Otherwise, we prohibit distributing our 3D model without making our creative input for its further commercial use in the ways mentioned in the Terms (clause 10.1), for example, use by your customer. Your customers will have to independently purchase a license for a 3D model from us if they want to use it in any commercial way as part of the result of your work in its original form or a three-dimensional plane.

   10.5.When using the downloaded Models, you must comply with the following requirements:

      10.5.1. Changing the Model does not make it a separate Derivative Work. Thus, the modified copy of the Model remains the Model licensed to you and licensed to us by the Author.

      10.5.2. Combining several Models into one 3D Model will not be considered to create a Derivative Work since this does not significantly distinguish such a model from the loaded Model and does not make the scope of this 3D model broader than that of the loaded Model. Therefore, such a composite 3D model should be considered a modified copy of the loaded Model or several Models.

      10.5.3. The Model may not be sold, transferred, or assigned to another person or entity in the form in which it was downloaded from the Website Database or in any other form that is not a Derivative Work, including but not limited to a modified Model.

      10.5.4. Customers must take all reasonable and generally accepted measures to prevent third parties from accessing the downloaded Models that are included in any digital Derivative Work. You must use proprietary formats (closed-source application formats) so that Models cannot be opened or imported into a publicly available software application or framework or retrieved without breaking the technology. Consequently, Models should not be included in Derivative Works with common functions for importing and/or exporting Models. For example, Models should not be included as an initial library in a Derived Work, which typically allows its users to work with 3D Models even if they are protected somehow and cannot be exported.

      10.5.5. Models must not be published, distributed, or made available through the infrastructure of any online repository in the form in which they are downloaded from the Website Database or in any other form that does not constitute a Derivative Work, including but not limited to a modified Model.

      10.5.6. Models must not be used for any defamatory, pornographic, obscene, or racist purpose or to violate the intellectual property rights of any person.

      10.5.7. Models should not be used to create marks for goods and services or a logo for a legal entity.

      10.5.8. You must not impersonate the actual creator of the Model.

   10.6. 3DWORLD allows the Customer to use the Model without mentioning the Author's name, that is, anonymously, but prohibits impersonating the author of the Model.

   10.7. 3DWORLD authorizes the Purchaser to make changes, abbreviations, and additions to the Model to provide the Model with illustrations and otherwise affect the integrity of the Model.

   10.8. Specific Models containing images, logos, trademarks and service marks, brand names, and other intellectual property may require additional licenses, rights, and permissions to use. The Customer is solely responsible for determining if additional licenses, rights, and permissions are required for the intended use of the Model before downloading and using any Model.

   10.9. We do not grant ownership of the Models. Therefore, by downloading a Model, you do not acquire ownership of the Model itself but only a license to use that Model.

   10.10. Models should not be used to create trade or service marks. The Terms do not contain consent to register objects of copyright as trademarks and service marks.

   10.11. The Customer's use of the Models must not undermine the honor, dignity, or reputation of others.

   10.12. The Customer must ensure that their use of the Models does not contradict the requirements of Applicable Law and does not violate the intellectual property rights of third parties, including, but not limited to, copyright and related rights, trademark and service marks, appellations of origin, patented invention rights, utility models and industrial designs, the right to use images of living and deceased people, etc.

   10.13. This License is valid during the term of these Terms. Termination of the Terms will result in the revocation of this License.

   10.14. If your license is revoked, you must immediately stop using the downloaded Models and delete all of them and any copies you have made.

   10.15. Breach of the Terms immediately terminates your rights and License to use the Models.

   10.16. You are solely responsible to the Model Authors for any violation of the terms of this License.
