  1. Intellectual Property and Licensing Framework

All content available on SkribusVOX — including texts, essays, digital artworks, images, visual compositions, downloadable files, branding, and design — is protected by intellectual property laws and remains the exclusive property of SkribusVOX and its author, unless expressly stated otherwise.

The purchase of a digital artwork does not automatically transfer copyright, but is governed strictly by the license type acquired.

SkribusVOX offers the following three license types:

  1. a) Private Collector License

For personal and private use only.

Permitted:

  • Private ownership and personal display.
  • Limited personal printing.
  • Storage on personal devices.

Not Permitted:

  • Commercial or corporate use.
  • Public or commercial exhibition.
  • Resale, redistribution, sublicensing, or modification for dissemination.

  1. b) Corporate / Interior Use License

For commercial, corporate, or institutional interior spaces.

  • Physical display in offices, hotels, studios, or commercial interiors.
  • Decorative interior use only.

Permitted:

  • Unlimited use, modification, reproduction, redistribution, and commercial exploitation.
  • Delivery of professional-grade digital files suitable for commercial production.

Conditions:

  • The transfer applies only to the specific artwork purchased, not to the SkribusVOX brand or other works.
  • The author retains irrevocable moral authorship rights, including the perpetual right to be credited as the creator in accordance with the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works (Article 6bis).
  • SkribusVOX reserves the right to display the artwork for portfolio, archival, catalog, and authorship reference purposes only.
  • This license requires a separate written agreement (Sales License Agreement) executed prior to final delivery.
  • Buyer must not misrepresent authorship or remove artist attribution from the work. 
  1. Artwork Removal and Exclusivity

Once a digital artwork is sold under any license type, SkribusVOX will:

  • Remove the artwork from its public gallery.
  • Cease offering the artwork for sale on this or any other platform.
  • Refrain from commercial resale or relicensing of the artwork.

The artwork may only remain visible in the artist’s portfolio, personal archives, and curated catalogs or documentation showing authorship and provenance.

This ensures artistic exclusivity while preserving the author’s moral right to attribution.
