Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (“ToS”) govern the access to and use of our media content, including but not limited to images, videos, audio, graphics, and other creative materials (collectively, “Media”). By accessing or using our Media, you agree to be bound by these ToS. If you do not agree, you may not use our Media.

1. Ownership and Intellectual Property

All Media provided by Mensura Media is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws, except where such Media is in the public domain. We retain all rights, title, and interest in the Media, except as explicitly granted in these ToS.

1.1 Purpose of Media

All Media created, produced, used, or reused by Mensura Media is intended for educational or entertainment purposes. This includes Media that is original, adapted, or derived from other sources, as well as Media in the public domain.

1.2 Public Domain Media

Media that is already in the public domain is freely available for anyone to use, reproduce, modify, distribute, or share without restriction, subject to applicable laws. Mensura Media does not claim ownership over public domain Media, and such Media is not subject to the licensing restrictions outlined in Section 2, unless it has been incorporated into a unique, novel work created by Mensura Media.

1.3 Unique, Novel Works

Media created by Mensura Media as unique, novel works—defined as original creative content that is not derived from public domain sources or pre-existing materials—is subject to the licensing restrictions outlined in Section 2. These works are protected by intellectual property laws and may only be used in accordance with the terms of this ToS.

2. License for Use of Media

We grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use our Media (excluding public domain Media, unless incorporated into a unique, novel work), subject to the following conditions:

2.1 Permitted Uses

You may use the Media for non-commercial purposes across all forms and formats, including but not limited to digital, print, mobile, and non-mobile platforms, in the following ways:

  • Incorporating the Media into personal projects, such as blogs, social media posts, presentations, or creative works, provided no commercial gain is derived.
  • Sharing the Media in non-commercial contexts, such as educational projects, personal portfolios, community initiatives, or other non-profit endeavors, as long as proper attribution is given to Mensura Media (see Section 2.3 for attribution requirements).
  • Modifying or adapting the Media for non-commercial creative works, provided the modified work complies with these ToS.
  • Flexible Sharing in Designated Channels: We encourage sharing of Media in non-commercial contexts, particularly in channels, organizations, apps, or platforms where Mensura Media openly distributes Media across social media including media platforms regardless of medium, device, size, reach, access, public or private. You may share said Media on platforms for educational or entertainment purposes, provided the use remains non-commercial and complies with these ToS.
  • Public Domain Media: As noted in Section 1.2, Media in the public domain is freely available for unrestricted use, including sharing, distribution, modification, or any other purpose, without the need for attribution or compliance with the restrictions in this Section 2.

2.2 Prohibited Uses

You may not:

  • Sell, sublicense, relicense, distribute, or otherwise commercially exploit the Media that is a unique, novel work or production, in whole or in part, without our prior written consent.
  • Use the Media in any way that implies endorsement by Mensura Media or our licensors without permission.
  • Use the Media in unlawful, defamatory, obscene, or otherwise objectionable content.
  • Remove, obscure, or alter any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notices included in the Media.
  • Use the Media in products or services where the Media is the primary value (e.g., stock photo libraries, templates for sale, or merchandise like t-shirts or posters).

2.3 Attribution

When sharing or using the Media (excluding public domain Media not incorporated into unique, novel works) in any publicly accessible work, you must provide attribution to Mensura Media. If applicable and feasible (e.g., in digital formats), include a link to our website (mensuramedia.com).

Exception: Attribution is not required when the Media is shared within any platform, app, or distribution network where it was originally posted or distributed by Mensura Media. Example, if Mensura Media posts or distributes Media on X, Instagram, or YouTube, and you share that Media within the same platform (e.g., via a retweet on X or a share on Instagram), no additional attribution is needed. However, if you use the Media in a different context (e.g., a personal website, blog, or another platform), attribution is required as described above.

3. Non-Commercial Use Clarification

For the purposes of these ToS, “non-commercial” use refers to any use of the Media that does not involve direct or indirect revenue generation, profit, or financial gain through commercial exploitation, except as specified herein. Specifically, sharing or distributing the Media on platforms, networks, or applications that are monetized based on metrics such as views, likes, shares, comments, traffic, or traffic exchange is deemed non-commercial, provided that:

  • The Media was originally posted or distributed by Mensura Media within that specific platform, network, or application (e.g., X, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, LinkedIn, Facebook, Pinterest, or Snapchat, etc).
  • The Media is not used or repurposed outside of the originating platform or network on different mediums for commercial purposes, such as incorporation into products, services, or other media formats intended for sale, licensing, or commercial distribution.

Any use of the Media outside the originating platform or network for commercial purposes, including but not limited to advertising, merchandise, or paid content, requires a separate commercial license as outlined in Section 4. If you are uncertain whether your use qualifies as non-commercial, please contact content@mensuramedia.com for clarification.

4. Commercial Use Requests

If you wish to use the Media (including unique, novel works) for commercial purposes, you must obtain a separate license from us. Please contact us at content@mensuramedia.com to discuss commercial licensing options.

6. Termination of License

We may terminate your license to use the Media at any time if you violate these ToS. Upon termination, you must immediately cease using the Media and delete or destroy any copies in your possession, except for public domain Media not incorporated into unique, novel works.

7. No Warranty

The Media is provided “as is” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. We do not guarantee said Media will meet any specific, specialized or requirements or be available uninterrupted.

8. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Mensura Media shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from any use of any Media or any breach of these ToS, including any claims related to the accuracy or reliability of the Media.

10. Modifications to the ToS

We may update these ToS at any time by posting the revised version on this website. Continued use of the Media after changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated ToS.

11. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These ToS and any disputes or claims arising out of or in connection with them, their subject matter, or their formation (including non-contractual disputes or claims) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with applicable laws within the United States of America, without regard to its conflict of law principles.
