You may provide the Digital Content to Your clients only in the context of a completed Project in which the Digital Content is inextricably integrated and only for such client’s use as the completed Project.

With any of our licenses You may use the Digital Content in Projects that you distribute on online video platforms, but Osmosis retains full ownership of the Digital Content and all related files. You may not claim ownership of the Digital Content (or otherwise make it available) through any content detection and/or registration system (such as YouTube’s Content ID or Facebook Rights Manager), even if synchronized with Your own Project.
