Erweiterte Lizenz - Upload auf anderer Plattform

Question

Dear support and community,

I was wondering about the possibility to use a modified stock image, which I'd buy under an extended license agreement and that can be used commercially, on a platform such as Eventbrite to advertise an Event showcasing a commercial service? Would Eventbrite count as a subcontractor of the licensee while the platform would not allowed to use the project in any other way or is the upload of the modified image on the platform's server not allowed at all? I'd be grateful for your legal insights.

Many thanks in advance

I do not know Eventbrite, but:

If you are creating an ad to be uploaded on a third party platform, to be shown for whatever you offer, a standard licence would be enough. You are not allowed to sell the asset itself, modified or not.

If you sell posters or mugs or t-shirts or similar, where the modified or unmodified asset is printed on, and the primary incentive for the buyer is the asset, you need an extended (erweiterte) license.

This all is noted in quite simple terms in the licensing terms. Look here for more information on licensing: https://community.adobe.com/t5/stock/links-for-licensing-terms/td-p/11366788
(Disclaimer: As always with licensing, this is my interpretation of the rules. I think they are correct and advice is based on reading and interpreting the licence terms and on fair use for both the buyer and the artist/stock company, but I cannot rule out that my interpretation is wrong. I'm not an Adobe employee).
