Hello,
I’d like to use skeletal meshes and animations from free Fab/UE Marketplace assets that I’ve added to my library (like these: https://www.fab.com/listings/2dd7964c-a601-4264-a53d-465dcae1644c).
Specifically, I want to use them with other custom meshes that I plan to create.
Is it allowed to use these assets in a commercial project? I wasn’t able to find a clear answer in the legal terms of the UE Standard License.
Thank you for any help!
Hey there @Angel_Anael! Welcome back to the community! There are 3 common license types when it comes to Fab content. The short answer is that yes, you can use the product commercially. Since there is no professional tier, even if you make over $100k you don’t have to worry about it as long as you follow the EULA.
The Personal - Reference Only isn’t meant to be used in commercial products, and is for reference and training purposes only.
The Personal license is for commercial use if you (or your entity) has made under $100k revenue. After that you would require the professional license tier.
The Professional license is for commercial products from any entity that owns over $100k in revenue.
Section 3a. License Grant. A “Standard License” grants you a non-exclusive and non-transferable license to privately use, reproduce, display, perform, and modify the Content in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. This means that as long as you are not violating this Agreement, such as by using the Content in violation of any applicable law or regulation or for any unlawful purpose, you can privately use the Content however you want under a Standard License. If you want to share the Content or anything you make with it, Sections 4 and 5 address when and how you can do that.
Section 2a. License Tiers. Content may be offered at different license tiers, and before completing a Transaction you may be required to select between a Personal - Reference Only tier, a Personal tier, and a Professional tier (each a “License Tier”). You are only eligible for a Personal - Reference Only tier or Personal tier if, at the time of the Transaction you, together with any controlling entity and other entities under common control with you, have not generated more than $100,000 USD in gross revenue from your commercial activity in the digital content industry in the last 12 months. For purposes of this calculation, revenue includes any advances received or other funds raised. If you complete a Transaction for a License Tier you were not eligible for at the time of purchase, you must, upon request, pay Epic the remainder of what you would have owed had you purchased a License Tier you were eligible for.
Thanks a lot!
