Subscription Fair Use Policy
CGTrader's Subscription Fair Use Policy outlines acceptable use of the subscription plan, download limits, and prohibited activities.
This Fair Use Policy applies in conjunction with General Terms and Conditions. CGTrader reserves the right to amend this Fair Use Policy at any time.
- All subscribers shall adhere to the fair use policy in order to ensure fair and reasonable use of the subscription service, maintain high-quality experience for all subscribers, and prevent abuse of the service.
- Download limits. The monthly download cap as indicated in the selected subscription plan applies to each individual subscriber. For security and fair usage reasons, additional daily download limits may be enforced even if a monthly cap has not been reached. CGTrader may also enforce daily or monthly download limits for the Products offered for free download. CGTrader may change the download caps (increase or decrease) for all or for individual users permanently or temporary. This prevents automated bulk downloading and ensures platform stability.
