Ziva Assets End User Terms
LAST UPDATED: JUNE 30, 2022
These Ziva Assets End User Terms (these “Terms”) are a binding agreement between you and Unity Technologies Canada Company and its Affiliates (“Unity”) and govern your use or access to the certain assets we’ve developed (“Ziva Assets”) and make available on our Ziva Store and/or Ziva Site (collectively, “Sites”). By installing, copying, accessing, downloading or otherwise using the Ziva Assets in any manner, you represent and affirm that you have read, understand and agree to be legally bound by and comply with these Terms. If you do not agree with these Terms, you are not authorized to use the Ziva Assets. These Terms together with all additional and related terms as referenced herein or published to our Sites as incorporated by reference into these Terms, are collectively referred to as this “Agreement”.
The term “you” as used in these Terms means either an individual utilizing any of the Ziva Assets in his or her individual capacity or the company, organization or other entity (a “Legal Entity”) affiliated with an individual utilizing the Ziva Assets on behalf of such Legal Entity. If you accept or agree to these Terms on behalf of a Legal Entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that Legal Entity to these Terms and, in such event, “you” and “your” will refer and apply to that Legal Entity.
We encourage you to review these Terms periodically for changes. Your further use of Ziva Assets following modifications made to these Terms or any of the policies referenced in this Agreement constitutes your acceptance of those changes.
1. License to Free & Purchased Ziva Assets. You agree that the Ziva Assets as provided to you are licensed, not sold. For free and paid Ziva Assets (collectively, “Full Use Assets”), Unity grants to you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, worldwide, irrevocable (except in the case you violate these Terms) and perpetual license to the Ziva Asset solely:
1.1. to incorporate the Ziva Asset, together with substantial, original content not obtained through the our Sites, into your electronic application or digital media that has a purpose, features, and functions beyond the display, performance, distribution, or use of Ziva Assets (“Your Project”). The Ziva Asset may only be used as an embedded component of Your Project, such that the Ziva Asset does not comprise a substantial portion of Your Project;
1.2. to reproduce, publicly display, publicly perform, transmit, and distribute the Ziva Asset as incorporated and embedded in Your Project (including any physical advertising materials for your Project); and

2.3.
