Licensing
We create bespoke 3D animations and 3D still renders from scratch - built to your spec, technically accurate, and visually sharp.
All animations and still renders produced by Trades Digital are original creative works, protected by copyright in accordance with the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 (UK).
To protect the integrity of our work and ensure fair usage, we offer flexible extended licences for wider functions, territories and durations.
Standard use – yours for good: for the business, brand and website named on your order - your website, social media, YouTube, email marketing, brochures and in-house training.
No renewals, no expiry.
Every standalone project commission includes standard use for the named client on its own channels (work produced under a retainer is licensed under the retainer agreement). Any use beyond standard use requires an extended licence, agreed in writing before that use begins. Licences cover only the business, brand and website named on your order - not rebrands, new websites, sister companies or successors - and can't be transferred or shared. Full details in our Terms.
