Organisation Accounts and Administrators

When you sign up for an account for your organisation you may specify one or more administrators. The administrators will have the right to configure the Services based on your requirements and manage end users in your organisation account. If your organisation account is created and configured on your behalf by a third party, it is likely that such third party has assumed administrator role for your organisation.

You may specify a process to be followed for recovering control in the event of such loss of control of the administrator accounts by sending an email to support@desygner.com, provided that the process is acceptable to us.

In the absence of any specified administrator account recovery process, we may provide control of an administrator account to an individual providing proof satisfactory to us demonstrating authorization to act on behalf of the organisation. You agree not to hold us liable for the consequences of any action taken by us in good faith in this regard.

If you create an account as part of an organisation, please read "Notice to End User" under our privacy policy.

Free Images & Icons Licenses

When you search for images or icons that are 100% royalty free, the results are from our partners such as Pixabay, Unsplash and OpenClipart under the creative commons zero license, which means you can copy, modify, distribute and use the photos for free, including commercial purposes, without asking permission from or providing attribution to the photographer (although attribution is always recommended). Although rigorous standards are upheld to ensure that all images and icons from our content partners adhere to the Creative Commons CC0 licensing terms, usage of images and icons on the services are provided on an "as-is, where-is" basis without any representations or warranties whatsoever.

When you search for images using the Google Image Search, you must look for the image usage rights on Google. Google cannot tell if the license label is legitimate even if they are labelled for reuse, so we don't know if the content is lawfully licensed. Before reusing content commercially, make sure that its license is legitimate and check the exact terms of reuse. For example, the license might require that you give credit to the image creator when you use the image.

Free & Premium Templates Licenses

All templates provided by Desygner are 100% royalty-free, and can be downloaded/exported from the Service in a range of formats if used as is. If you modify the content with uploaded fonts, images, icons or written textual content, you must have the rights to use such content, else you must replace them with one of our royalty-free options.
