Asset Library License & Terms of Use
The license and terms of use governing assets (AI-generated music and SFX, and third-party licensed photos, videos, vectors, and 3D models) obtained from the Kolbo.AI Asset Library.
Effective Date: June 27, 2026 Last Updated: June 27, 2026 Provider: Kolbo.AI, operated by Zohar Vanunu Productions, LLC ("Kolbo," "we," "us," "our") Contact: [email protected]
1. Definitions
"Asset" means any image, vector graphic, video, audio clip, sound effect, 3D model, or other media file made available to you through the Kolbo Asset Library, including any preview, thumbnail, or metadata associated with it.
"Library" means the collection of Assets that Kolbo makes available within the Kolbo platform.
"AI-Generated Asset" means an Asset produced, in whole or in part, using generative artificial intelligence models made available by Kolbo, or otherwise owned or controlled by Kolbo.
"Third-Party Licensed Asset" means an Asset that Kolbo surfaces from a Third-Party Provider and makes available to you under that provider's own license rather than under Kolbo's own grant.
"Third-Party Provider" means an external content source integrated into the Kolbo platform, including without limitation Pexels, Unsplash, Pixabay, Coverr, Sketchfab/Fab (a division of Epic Games), and Freesound, and any other source Kolbo may add.
"Applicable Third-Party License" means the specific license under which a Third-Party Licensed Asset is provided — for example, the Pexels License, the Pixabay Content License, or the particular Creative Commons (or editorial) license attached to an individual Sketchfab model — as displayed with that Asset.
"You" or "User" means the individual or entity accessing the Library, including, where applicable, the organization on whose behalf you act.
"End Product" means any work, product, design, video, application, advertisement, or other creative output that you create and into which one or more Assets are incorporated.
"Subscription" means a paid Kolbo plan that grants access to the Library and the commercial license set out below.
2. License Grant — Kolbo / AI-Generated Assets
Subject to your continuous compliance with these Terms and, where applicable, your active Subscription, Kolbo grants you a worldwide, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, royalty-free license to download Kolbo / AI-Generated Assets from the Library and to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, and incorporate those Assets into your End Products for both commercial and non-commercial purposes.
The license to any such Asset you downloaded during an active Subscription survives the expiration or cancellation of that Subscription with respect to End Products you created while the Subscription was active, except where terminated under Section 10.
This is a license to use Assets. It is not a transfer of ownership and grants you no exclusive rights (see Sections 3 and 4).
Third-Party Licensed Assets are not covered by this Section 2 — they are governed solely by Section 5 and their Applicable Third-Party License.
3. No Exclusivity
You acknowledge and agree that:
- The same or substantially similar Assets may be licensed to, generated for, or made available to other users, within Kolbo and through third-party services.
- You receive no exclusive rights in any Asset, and Kolbo makes no representation that any Asset is unique to you.
- You may not represent to any third party that you hold exclusive rights in any Asset.
If your project requires exclusive or proprietary assets, the Library is not a suitable source.
4. Intellectual Property Status of AI-Generated Assets
You understand and agree that:
- Many AI-Generated Assets, under the law of various jurisdictions (including the United States), may not be eligible for copyright protection for lack of sufficient human authorship.
- Accordingly, you may not be able to claim, register, or enforce copyright in such an Asset.
- Kolbo does not warrant that any Asset is, or is not, protected by copyright, and assigns no copyright it does not hold.
AI-Generated Music & Audio. AI-Generated Assets include music, songs, and instrumental tracks (and, where made available, other audio and sound) that are generated using artificial intelligence under a paid generation plan held by Kolbo. You receive the same worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license set out in Section 2 — you may download these tracks and use, edit, remix, loop, and incorporate them into your End Products for both personal and commercial purposes (including videos, podcasts, games, apps, films, advertisements, client work, and monetized content), with no attribution required (credit is appreciated but optional). That license is subject to the rest of these Terms, and in particular you acknowledge that:
- They are AI-generated, are licensed to you on a non-exclusive basis, and may not be owned by you or eligible for copyright protection; the same or similar audio may be generated for or made available to other users.
- They are provided "AS IS" with no warranty that they are original or non-infringing. AI-generated audio may unintentionally resemble existing recordings, compositions, melodies, or styles, and you are solely responsible for ensuring that your use of an audio Asset does not infringe any third party's musical, master-recording, publishing, or other rights, and for clearing any rights required for your intended distribution (including streaming, broadcast, synchronization, or sale).
- You may not use any audio Asset to train, fine-tune, or develop any AI/ML model, and you may not redistribute audio Assets on a standalone basis (e.g., as isolated audio files, sample packs, or sound libraries) — use them only as components incorporated into your End Products.
5. Third-Party Licensed Assets (Pexels, Pixabay, Sketchfab/Fab)
Some Assets surfaced through Kolbo are not owned by Kolbo and are made available to you only under their Applicable Third-Party License, which is displayed with the Asset. For these Assets:
5.0 How these Assets are provided. Kolbo integrates Third-Party Licensed Assets solely to let you generate B-roll, background footage, and reference media for incorporation into your own creations (for example, video edits, compositions, and design work). Kolbo gives full credit to the originating provider and author, does not operate as or attempt to replicate a competing stock-media service, and does not make these Assets available to you as standalone, redistributable stock files. Your use of any Third-Party Licensed Asset must stay within this model: use it as a component of your own End Product, with attribution preserved.
5.1 The upstream license controls. Your rights are defined and limited by the Applicable Third-Party License and the Third-Party Provider's own terms. Kolbo grants you no rights broader than those it has received from the Third-Party Provider, and Kolbo's Section 2 license does not apply to these Assets. Where the Applicable Third-Party License conflicts with these Terms, the Applicable Third-Party License controls for that Asset.
5.2 Attribution. Where the Applicable Third-Party License or provider terms require attribution, you must preserve and display the required credit (author and/or source), and that attribution must follow the Asset into your End Product and remain accessible to your own end users. In particular:
- Sketchfab/Fab models are provided under per-model Creative Commons (or editorial) licenses; Creative Commons models require crediting both the original author and Sketchfab, and the license and attribution must follow the model everywhere it is used.
- Pexels and Pixabay do not require end-user attribution for general use, but their API/integration terms require that the source be shown where assets are surfaced; you must not misrepresent the source.
5.3 Per-Asset license variation (Sketchfab). Individual Sketchfab models may be licensed under terms that prohibit commercial use (e.g., CC BY-NC), prohibit modification (e.g., CC BY-ND), or are editorial-only (no commercial or promotional use; limited to commentary/news/criticism). You must use each such Asset only as its specific displayed license allows. Do not assume a Third-Party Licensed Asset is free for commercial use.
5.4 No standalone redistribution. You may not sell, sublicense, redistribute, or otherwise make available any Third-Party Licensed Asset as a stand-alone file (individually or in bulk), nor in any manner that lets third parties download, extract, or access the underlying Asset as a stand-alone file. You may use the Asset only as a component incorporated into an End Product that has independent creative value.
5.5 No competing or replicating service. You may not use, compile, or aggregate Third-Party Licensed Assets to build, replicate, or feed a stock-media library, asset marketplace, dataset, or any service that is similar to or competes with the Third-Party Provider.
5.6 No AI training, AI generation, or AI editing — original footage only. Third-Party Licensed Assets may be used only in their original form ("as-is") — incorporated, with at most conventional non-AI editing (such as trimming, cropping, color correction, or compositing), into your End Product. With respect to any Third-Party Licensed Asset, you may not:
- (a) use it (or its metadata) to train, fine-tune, evaluate, or develop any AI or machine-learning model, system, or dataset; or
- (b) provide, upload, feed, or process it as an input to any generative-AI or AI-editing tool or feature — including (without limitation) image-to-video, video-to-video, AI inpainting/outpainting, AI style transfer, AI upscaling, background removal or replacement by AI, face/voice swap, or any other AI-generated or AI-modified transformation — or otherwise use it to create AI-generated or AI-altered content.
This restriction applies in particular to Pixabay content, which may be used ONLY as the original footage, and reflects the providers' own license terms (e.g., Pixabay and Coverr expressly prohibit using their content for AI training, AI models, or datasets). The broad license for Kolbo / AI-Generated Assets in Section 2 does not apply here — these are Third-Party Licensed Assets.
5.7 Withdrawal. A Third-Party Provider may remove or restrict an Asset at any time. If that happens, your right to use it ends, and you must cease further use and, where required, delete it.
6. Your Responsibilities (Third-Party Rights)
Assets are provided "AS IS." You are solely responsible for confirming that your use of an Asset is lawful for your specific use case before you use it. In particular, you are responsible for ensuring that your use does not:
- infringe any copyright, trademark, trade dress, or other intellectual property right of any third party;
- violate the publicity, privacy, or likeness rights of any identifiable person;
- depict any recognizable brand, logo, product, building, artwork, or character in a manner that requires a license, release, or consent you have not obtained; or
- otherwise violate any applicable law.
Because AI-Generated Assets may unexpectedly resemble a real person, trademark, or protected work — and because Third-Party Licensed Assets may contain elements requiring a model or property release — determining whether a release or license is required for your intended use rests solely and exclusively with you. Kolbo expressly disclaims responsibility for such determinations.
7. Prohibited Uses
You may not, and may not permit any third party to:
- Use any Asset to train, fine-tune, distill, or otherwise develop any artificial intelligence or machine-learning model, system, dataset, weights, or related technology. This restriction is absolute and applies to all Assets.
- Redistribute, sell, license, sublicense, or make available the Assets themselves (individually or in bulk) as stand-alone files, a stock library, an asset pack, a template marketplace, an NFT, or any product whose primary value is the Asset itself, whether or not modified. (You may use Assets as components incorporated into an End Product that has independent primary value.)
- Compile or aggregate Assets to build or feed a service that is similar to or competes with Kolbo or any Third-Party Provider.
- Remove, obscure, alter, or tamper with any attribution, license notice, provenance marking, watermark, or metadata embedded in or accompanying an Asset (including, without limitation, Creative Commons author/source credit, SynthID, C2PA, or similar signals), except where permitted by the original provider for your licensed use.
- Use any Asset in connection with content that is unlawful, defamatory, harassing, hateful, fraudulent, deceptive, or that sexualizes or endangers minors, or that promotes violence or illegal activity.
- Use any Asset to imply endorsement, association, or sponsorship by any person, brand, or entity without consent, or in a way that constitutes false or misleading advertising.
- Use any Asset to create deepfakes or other media depicting an identifiable individual's likeness or voice without that individual's consent, and, where you do create AI-generated or manipulated media depicting a real person, without making the disclosure required under Section 8.
- Use any Asset in a manner that breaches the Applicable Third-Party License or any upstream provider terms communicated to you.
8. AI Disclosure & Provenance
AI-Generated Assets are produced by generative AI. You are responsible for complying with any applicable law, platform policy, or industry rule requiring the disclosure or labeling of AI-generated content in the jurisdictions where you publish or distribute your End Products. In particular:
- EU AI Act, Article 50 — its transparency obligations become applicable on 2 August 2026 (with a limited transition for certain systems already on the market). These obligations can apply even though Kolbo is established outside the EU, where you, Kolbo, or the audience for the content are located in or reached within the EU. Both deployers (users creating/publishing content) and providers of generative AI systems have their own obligations.
- Deepfakes — where you use an Asset to generate or manipulate image, audio, or video depicting a real, identifiable person, you must disclose that the content is artificially generated or manipulated, in a manner appropriate to the medium and the context (with proportionate treatment for clearly artistic, creative, satirical, or fictional works).
- Provenance marks — certain Assets carry embedded, machine-readable provenance signals (e.g., SynthID, C2PA). These must remain intact as required by Section 7(4); preserving them supports both your and Kolbo's transparency compliance.
This section is informational, not legal advice; the AI Act's implementing Code of Practice and guidelines were still being finalized as of the Last Updated date, and you remain responsible for determining and meeting your own obligations.
9. Intellectual-Property Complaints & Takedown
If you believe that any Asset, or any content made available through the Library, infringes your copyright or other intellectual-property right, please send a notice to [email protected] including: (a) identification of the work or right you claim is infringed; (b) identification of the allegedly infringing material and where it appears; (c) your contact information; (d) a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized; and (e) a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information is accurate and that you are the rights holder or authorized to act on their behalf.
Kolbo may remove or disable access to material that is alleged or appears to infringe, will forward notices to the relevant Third-Party Provider where applicable, and will take appropriate action against repeat infringers, including account termination. This process supplements, and does not replace, the complaint mechanisms of the Third-Party Providers.
10. Term, Suspension & Termination
This license is effective until terminated. Kolbo may suspend or terminate your access to the Library and revoke the licenses granted herein, with immediate effect, if you breach these Terms, if a Third-Party Provider withdraws or restricts an Asset, or as otherwise required by law or to protect Kolbo, its users, or third parties.
Upon termination for breach, you must cease all use of the Assets and, on request, delete copies in your possession; provided that, absent a breach by you, your rights in End Products already created and published in compliance with these Terms shall survive to the extent permitted by our upstream and third-party providers.
Kolbo may add, modify, or remove any Asset from the Library at any time without notice.
11. Disclaimer of Warranties
THE LIBRARY AND ALL ASSETS ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, KOLBO DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ORIGINALITY, AND ACCURACY. KOLBO DOES NOT WARRANT THAT ANY ASSET IS ORIGINAL, NON-INFRINGING, COPYRIGHTABLE, EXCLUSIVE, OR SUITABLE FOR ANY PARTICULAR USE.
12. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Kolbo, its affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your use of any Asset or End Product; (b) your breach of these Terms or any Applicable Third-Party License; or (c) your violation of any law or any third-party right, including any intellectual property, publicity, privacy, or likeness right.
13. Limitation of Liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, KOLBO WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE LIBRARY OR ANY ASSET. KOLBO'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID TO KOLBO FOR THE SUBSCRIPTION IN THE SIX (6) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.
14. Changes to These Terms
Kolbo may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be communicated through the Kolbo platform or by email. Your continued use of the Library after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
15. Governing Law & Disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. You and Kolbo submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in the State of Delaware for any dispute not otherwise resolved, except where mandatory consumer-protection law in your place of residence grants you the right to bring proceedings in your local courts.
16. Entire Agreement; Severability
These Terms, together with the Kolbo Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, and any Applicable Third-Party License, constitute the entire agreement between you and Kolbo regarding the Library. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect.

Appendix A — Attribution & Source Notices (per provider)
Kolbo displays full credit for every Third-Party Licensed Asset. The following notice formats must be shown wherever the Asset is surfaced, and — where the license requires — must follow the Asset into the user's End Product and remain visible to the user's own end users. Replace bracketed fields with live values from the provider's API response.
Pexels (end-user attribution not legally required, but a prominent Pexels link is required by the Pexels API guidelines, and photographer credit is required "when possible")
Video/Photo by [Author Name] on Pexels — [link to the asset page on pexels.com] Required (API): a prominent "Photos provided by Pexels" text link (or the Pexels logo) linking to https://www.pexels.com, shown where results appear.
Pixabay (end-user attribution not legally required, but the API requires showing where content comes from when results are displayed)
Content by [Author/Username] from Pixabay — [link to the asset page on pixabay.com] Required (API): show the Pixabay source where results are displayed, with a link to https://pixabay.com.
Sketchfab / Fab (attribution is legally required for Creative Commons models — both author and Sketchfab — and must travel with the model to all end users)
"[Model Title]" by [Author Name] is licensed under [e.g. CC BY 4.0] — via Sketchfab ([link to model page]) Links required: model page, author profile, and the specific Creative Commons license. This credit must remain accessible to every end user of any End Product that includes the model.
Pipeline note: Pull author, title, license type, and asset/source URLs directly from each provider's API response and render them into the notice automatically — never hand-enter or drop them. For Sketchfab, the per-model license string drives both the attribution text and the commercial-eligibility filter (exclude NC / ND / editorial). For Pexels, the prominent Pexels link is mandatory for API use — and Pexels requires a demo/screenshots of your attribution to grant unlimited requests (default limits: 200/hour, 20,000/month; email [email protected] to verify).
