Q: Stock Video and Photos

Can you please clarify the licensing terms for the stock photos and video content available in Kosmic AI? Are they licensed for both commercial and personal use, and are there any restrictions we should be aware of when using these assets in our projects?

A: Hi Cibarra,

Thanks for your question! Here’s a breakdown of the licensing terms for the assets available in Kosmic AI:

Stock Images and Videos

All stock images and videos in Kosmic AI are sourced through Pexels and Pixabay, which means:
• They are free for commercial and non-commercial use.
• No attribution is required, though it’s appreciated.
• You can modify and use them in projects.

Restrictions:
• You cannot sell unaltered copies (e.g., posters, prints, or products).
• You cannot imply endorsement by depicted people or brands in the content.
• Redistribution as-is on competing platforms is not allowed.

Stock Audio and Sound Effects

All audio and sound effects have been created by the Kosmic team using tools like Suno and Eleven Labs. These are fully licensed for both commercial and personal use, so you’re free to use them in your projects.

GIFs and Stickers (GIPHY Integration)

If your project involves using GIFs or stickers from GIPHY, keep in mind that their assets are primarily licensed for personal and non-commercial use unless stated otherwise.
• Commercial use (e.g., ads, merchandise, or paid services) requires explicit permission or a licensing agreement with GIPHY.
• Kosmic AI does not currently have a licensing agreement with GIPHY for commercial use purposes.

Improvements Coming Soon

We’re currently working on adding tooltips in the platform to provide clear licensing details for each type of asset. This will make it easier for users to understand exactly how they can use the assets in their projects.

If you have any additional questions or need further clarification, feel free to ask—I’m here to help!
