2.6. Within the PRO License, the User may share icon collections with a limited number of Guest Users, who will be granted view-only permissions. Guest Users with view-only access can download PRO-licensed icons from the shared collection as long as the inviting User’s PRO license remains active. To view a collection, Guest Users must log in or create an account if they do not already have one. Once the account is created, invitations to the collection are accepted automatically.

Standard PRO license may be granted free to pupils, students and teachers for a period of 2 (two) years. All license terms remain the same as indicated in points 2.-2.6. above with two following exceptions.

  • (i) The User has to properly attribute their works incorporating icons with Lordicon’s name and logo.
  • (ii) The icons cannot be used in any commercial projects (the license is granted only for personal, education, non-profit use).

For the purpose of granting Academic License, the User must set up the Account using the e-mail address within the domain of their university or school, indicate the name of the relevant institution and provide Lordicon with a scan of a valid ID. After submitting the form, Lordicon will manually approve or reject the application within 10 business days at its sole discretion.

4. Team PRO License

As part of the Team PRO license, Lordicon grants the User through Paddle a worldwide, royalty-free, irrevocable, non-exclusive, limited in time and to a specific number of persons (Team members), no credit (non-attributable) license to use paid and free icons subject to the terms stated herein and other provisions of the Terms and Conditions. License rights are sublicensable to Team members in terms of using icons on behalf of and for the benefit of the User.

4.1. Following provisions regarding the Standard PRO license shall apply accordingly: 2. – 2.6.

4.2. The User can join an unlimited number of Teams. To join a Team, the User must send an invitation and the invited person must log in or create the Account if they do not already have one.

4.3. If the User has already the Standard PRO License and becomes a member of the Team, their personal Standard PRO license remains valid while they also gain access to Team’s collections.

4.4. Within the Team PRO License, icon collections can be shared between Team members. The User can select the type of icon collection, i.e. add a new collection or icons to an existing collection. In case the User assigns roles to Team members (if applicable) they will have different permissions for managing icons in the collection as well as the collection itself.

4.5. The User has access to icons under the PRO license for the duration of their subscription, while Team members have access to and are entitled to use icons for as long as they are part of the Team.

5. Extended license for the display

In any case, the User embeds icons using Embed HTML integration on websites, platforms etc., generating over 1 million CDN requests, upon Lordicon request, User shall conclude an additional Purchase agreement regarding the relevant amount of requests. Such additional license is limited to 1 year and modifies the terms of the license already purchased by the User in such a way that it allows to use more requests within 1 year of concluding Purchase agreement regarding that extended license for the display. Concluding the Purchase agreement regarding extended license for display does not extend the duration of the originally purchased license. Alternatively, the User shall stop using Embed HTML integration and use icons in the static or Lottie JSON format that are hosted on the User’s servers.

5.1. If the User does not comply with the provisions of point 5. above, Lordicon will take measures in order to prevent further display of the icons over 1 million requests as due to violation of the provisions of the granted license. In this case Lordicon may also terminate the concluded Agreement immediately.

5.2. The basis for the calculation of requests shall be solely request count or display count in the reports provided to the User by Lordicon and prepared with the use of applications measuring consumption based on generated requests chosen at the sole discretion of Lordicon.

6. Restrictions

Lordicon does not guarantee that all formats of icons will always be available which may result in icons not being displayed after the purchase or download (especially in case of Embed HTML integration that utilizies the CDN). All licenses granted by Lordicon last only for a period the given format is available. Lordicon may freely change the formats of the offered icons.
