5.3 Third-Party Assets (Fonts and Images)
Some templates may include or utilize third-party assets, such as specific fonts or stock photography. These assets remain the intellectual property of their respective creators.
- Licensing Responsibility: The license granted by Hestia Studio Shop covers the design and layout of the template only. It does not transfer the license for premium fonts or third-party images.
- For Showit/Canva Users: While premium fonts may be technically accessible within the template for convenience upon installation, the Buyer is solely responsible for acquiring the appropriate legal license (e.g., Webfont or Commercial license) from the original font foundry or distributor (such as Creative Fabrica) to use them legally on their public website or commercial projects.
- Alternative: If the Buyer chooses not to purchase the specific font license, they must replace the font with a free alternative (e.g., Google Fonts) within the template.
