Licensing

Plain-English summary first, details below.

In short: when you buy an animation or pack from Back Alley Animation Studio, you get a royalty-free, non-exclusive, worldwide license to use it in your projects — commercial or personal — forever. You can't resell or redistribute the animation files themselves.

What you can do

• Use purchased animations in games, films, animations, advertisements, VR/AR experiences, and other interactive or rendered projects — including commercial ones.
• Ship the animations embedded in your game or project builds, where the raw files are not extractable by end users.
• Edit, retarget, trim, blend, and otherwise modify the animations to fit your characters and projects.
• Use them across multiple of your own projects — one purchase, unlimited projects.

What you can't do

• Resell, sublicense, share, or redistribute the animation files (original or modified) as files — including in asset packs, marketplaces, or template projects.
• Use the animations to train machine-learning models for animation generation.
• Claim authorship of the raw animation data.

Team use

A purchase covers you and the people directly working on the same project. Files may be shared internally within your team for that project's development, but not beyond it.
