Mocap ATLAS Asset License Agreement
Last updated: 10 September 2026
This Mocap Atlas Asset License Agreement ("Agreement") is a legal agreement between you ("Buyer" or "Licensee") and Quantum Stage GmbH, Schlachthofstrasse 8, 8406 Winterthur, Switzerland ("Seller", "Licensor", "Quantum Stage", "we", "us", or "our").
This Agreement governs all motion capture animation products, animation files, reference media, preview media, documentation, bundle files, and related digital assets purchased, downloaded, or accessed through mocapATLAS.com ("Mocap Atlas Products").
Mocap Atlas Products are sold under two licenses: the Indie License and the Pro License. Both grant exactly the same rights and are subject to exactly the same restrictions. Which one you are required to buy depends solely on your combined revenue and raised funding over the preceding twelve months, as set out in Section 3.
By purchasing, downloading, accessing, or using any Mocap Atlas Product, you agree to be bound by this Agreement. If you do not agree to this Agreement, do not purchase, download, copy, install, or use the Mocap Atlas Products.

1. Definitions
"Mocap Atlas Products" means any digital product or set of files made available by Quantum Stage GmbH through mocapATLAS.com, including but not limited to FBX, BVH, C3D, prepared animation files, retargeted animation files, reference videos, preview media, documentation, readme files, and bundle ZIP files.
"Final Project" means a game, film, video, application, simulation, virtual production, visualization, interactive experience, rendered sequence, or similar finished work that incorporates the Mocap Atlas Products in a compiled, rendered, embedded, or otherwise non-extractable form.
"License Tier" means either the Indie License or the Pro License, as selected at the time of purchase.
"Indie License" means the License Tier available to a Licensee whose Total Revenue and Funding in the Measurement Period did not exceed $100,000 USD.
"Pro License" means the License Tier required for a Licensee whose Total Revenue and Funding in the Measurement Period exceeded $100,000 USD.
"Commercial Activity" means any activity carried out for financial gain, including but not limited to sales of products or services, client work, contract work, freelance and self-employed income, licensing and royalty income, in-app and in-game revenue, advertising and sponsorship income, and subscription income.
"Gross Revenue" means the total worldwide revenue and income received by you and your Organization from Commercial Activity, calculated before the deduction of taxes, platform fees, refunds, costs, or other expenses.
"Raised Funding" means the total capital and financing raised or received by you and your Organization to fund Commercial Activity, including but not limited to equity, venture, seed, and angel investment, publisher advances and recoupable funding, development, production, and co-production financing, grants and public funding awards, prize money, and crowdfunding proceeds. Committed funding is counted when received.
"Total Revenue and Funding" means the sum of Gross Revenue and Raised Funding for the Measurement Period. An amount is counted only once and is not double counted where it falls within both definitions.
"Organization" means the legal entity or sole proprietorship the license is purchased for, together with its parent entities, subsidiaries, and entities under common control. Where an individual purchases in the course of employment, the Organization is the employer.
"Measurement Period" means the twelve (12) consecutive months immediately preceding the date of purchase.
2. Scope of License
This Agreement applies to all Mocap Atlas Products and all buyers of Mocap Atlas Products, regardless of product price, discount, sale campaign, bundle pricing, file format, product variant, or purchase platform, unless a separate written agreement signed by Quantum Stage GmbH expressly states otherwise. The License Tier selected at purchase determines the price payable and your eligibility to purchase at that price; it does not alter the scope of the rights granted or the restrictions imposed by this Agreement.
Subject to full payment of the applicable purchase price for the correct License Tier and compliance with this Agreement, Quantum Stage GmbH grants you a limited, worldwide, perpetual, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to use the purchased Mocap Atlas Products for personal, educational, internal, professional, and commercial production purposes.
This license does not constitute a sale or transfer of ownership, copyright, neighboring rights, database rights, performance rights, personality rights, source data rights, or any other intellectual property rights.
3. Indie License and Pro License
3.1 The two licenses
Mocap Atlas Products are offered at two price tiers. You must select and pay for the tier that corresponds to your Total Revenue and Funding:
- Indie License: for buyers who have not generated or received more than $100,000 USD in combined gross revenue from Commercial Activity and raised funding during the Measurement Period.
- Pro License: for buyers who have generated or received more than $100,000 USD in combined gross revenue from Commercial Activity and raised funding during the Measurement Period.
3.2 Both licenses grant the same rights
The Indie License and the Pro License grant identical rights and are subject to identical restrictions under this Agreement, including the restrictions in Sections 4, 5, 6, and 7. Neither restricts commercial use, client work, team size, the number of Final Projects, revenue earned from a Final Project, or the number of end users of a Final Project.
3.3 Eligibility is based on the buyer, not the project
Your tier is determined by the Total Revenue and Funding of you and your Organization. It is not determined by the budget, financing, or expected earnings of the Final Project in which the Mocap Atlas Products are used.
3.4 Organizations, employees, and affiliates
Where the Mocap Atlas Products are purchased by, on behalf of, or for use by an Organization, eligibility is assessed against the combined Total Revenue and Funding of that Organization as defined in Section 1. An individual employee, contractor, or team member may not purchase an Indie License on the basis of their own personal revenue in order to supply Mocap Atlas Products for use by an Organization that exceeds the threshold.
3.5 Client work, contract work, and work for hire
If you use the Mocap Atlas Products to produce a Final Project for a client, employer, or commissioning party, the applicable tier is determined by the higher of (a) your own Total Revenue and Funding and (b) the Total Revenue and Funding of the party that will own, publish, or distribute that Final Project.
3.6 When eligibility is assessed
Eligibility is assessed once, at the date of each purchase, on the basis of the Measurement Period ending on that date. If your Total Revenue and Funding later exceeds $100,000 USD, Indie Licenses validly purchased before that point remain valid in full and do not require an upgrade or additional payment. All purchases made after your Total Revenue and Funding exceeds the threshold must be made under the Pro License.
3.7 Buyers active for less than twelve months
If you or your Organization have been engaged in Commercial Activity for less than twelve months, Total Revenue and Funding is calculated over the period since that activity began.
3.8 Currency
Revenue and funding received in a currency other than United States dollars is converted to United States dollars at the exchange rate applicable on the date of purchase.
3.9 Students, hobbyists, education, and non-profit use
Students, hobbyists, individuals with no Commercial Activity, educational institutions, and non-profit organizations whose Total Revenue and Funding did not exceed $100,000 USD during the Measurement Period are eligible for the Indie License.
3.10 Free products
Mocap Atlas Products made available at no charge are licensed under this Agreement at no cost and no License Tier applies to them. All permitted uses and all restrictions in this Agreement apply to free Mocap Atlas Products in full.
3.11 Accurate tier selection, verification, and correction
By completing a purchase you represent that you are eligible for the License Tier you selected. Quantum Stage GmbH may request reasonable written confirmation of eligibility, and you agree to provide such confirmation within thirty (30) days of a request.
If you purchase an Indie License when a Pro License was required, you must, within thirty (30) days of becoming aware of the discrepancy or of being notified by Quantum Stage GmbH, pay the difference between the two tier prices as listed at the time of the original purchase. Payment of that difference cures the discrepancy and the license continues in full force.
Failure to pay the difference within that period, refusal to provide requested confirmation of eligibility, or knowing misrepresentation of eligibility, constitutes a material breach of this Agreement and may result in termination of the License under Section 10.
3.12 Licenses are not transferable between buyers
A License Tier is tied to the purchase and to the Licensee. It may not be sold, transferred, reassigned, or resold to another person or Organization, whether separately or together with the Mocap Atlas Products.
4. Permitted Uses
You may:
- Use the purchased Mocap Atlas Products in your own Final Projects.
- Use the Mocap Atlas Products in commercial and non-commercial games, films, videos, animations, applications, simulations, prototypes, previs, VFX, virtual production, and client productions.
- Import, edit, trim, clean, retarget, rename, convert, compress, and adapt the files for your own production pipeline.
- Use the assets with animation state machines, blend trees, motion matching, runtime pose search, runtime animation selection, inverse kinematics, procedural animation systems, and similar non-generative production systems.
- Distribute Final Projects that incorporate the Mocap Atlas Products in compiled, rendered, embedded, or otherwise non-extractable form.
- Allow employees, contractors, collaborators, or clients to access the purchased Mocap Atlas Products only as necessary to work on your own Final Project, provided they are bound by restrictions at least as protective as this Agreement.
5. Restrictions
You may not:
- Sell, resell, sublicense, rent, lease, assign, transfer, distribute, publish, upload, share, or otherwise make the Mocap Atlas Products available to any third party as standalone files, source files, animation clips, motion capture data, datasets, asset packs, templates, libraries, or downloadable resources.
- Include the Mocap Atlas Products in any software, asset pack, marketplace product, stock media product, template, plugin, tool, library, dataset, or service where third parties can access, extract, export, download, or reuse the animation data.
- Upload the Mocap Atlas Products to public repositories, file-sharing services, stock media platforms, asset marketplaces, training datasets, or any other platform that enables third-party access to the files.
- Claim ownership of the original Mocap Atlas Products or represent that you created, captured, or own the original motion capture data.
- Remove copyright notices, license notices, readme files, attribution notices, metadata notices, or other ownership information included with the files.
- Purchase a License Tier for which you are not eligible, or misrepresent your Gross Revenue, Raised Funding, Organization, or eligibility in order to obtain a lower price.
6. AI, Machine Learning, and Dataset Restrictions
You may not use the Mocap Atlas Products, modified versions of the Mocap Atlas Products, extracted motion data, derived motion data, reference footage, metadata, or any substantially similar dataset created from the Mocap Atlas Products to train, fine-tune, validate, benchmark, test, improve, or develop any artificial intelligence system, machine learning model, neural network, generative model, motion-generation system, animation-generation system, pose-generation system, or similar automated model.
This restriction applies to the Indie License and the Pro License equally, and applies whether the use is direct, indirect, commercial, internal, experimental, private, public, open source, research-based, or non-commercial.
For clarity, this restriction does not prohibit ordinary non-generative production use in motion matching systems, runtime animation playback systems, animation state machines, blend trees, retargeting tools, inverse kinematics tools, or runtime pose search systems, provided that the Mocap Atlas Products are not used to train, fine-tune, validate, benchmark, or improve an AI or machine learning model.
Any AI, machine learning, dataset, training, fine-tuning, synthetic data, or generative use requires a separate written license from Quantum Stage GmbH, which is not included in the Indie License or the Pro License at any price.
7. Reference Footage and Preview Media
Reference footage, preview videos, thumbnails, product videos, and similar media may display visible actors or performers. Such media is provided only for evaluation, demonstration, instructional, review, and production-reference purposes.
You may view reference footage for internal reference when working with the purchased animation data. You may not copy, publish, redistribute, resell, modify, repackage, use, or include reference footage, preview videos, thumbnails, or actor footage in any Final Project, marketing material, promotional content, training dataset, public archive, or third-party deliverable unless Quantum Stage GmbH has granted separate written permission. This applies to the Indie License and the Pro License equally.
8. Responsible Use
You may not use the Mocap Atlas Products:
- To promote or support hatred, unlawful discrimination, harassment, or violence against any individual or group.
- To promote or support terrorism or violent extremist organizations or ideologies.
- In any way that falsely suggests endorsement by Mocap ATLAS, Quantum Stage GmbH, or any performer featured in the Mocap Atlas Products.
- In violation of any applicable law.
This section does not prohibit the use of the Mocap Atlas Products in fictional, historical, educational, journalistic, documentary, satirical, or other creative works, provided such works do not promote or support the prohibited conduct described above.
A violation of this section constitutes a material breach of this Agreement and may result in immediate termination of the License.
9. Ownership
All Mocap Atlas Products remain the sole property of Quantum Stage GmbH and/or its licensors. All rights not expressly granted in this Agreement are reserved by Quantum Stage GmbH. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as a transfer or assignment of intellectual property rights.
10. Term and Termination
This Agreement is effective from the date of purchase and remains in effect perpetually unless terminated. If you breach any provision of this Agreement, the license terminates automatically without notice, and you must immediately stop using and delete all copies of the Mocap Atlas Products.
In the case of an incorrect License Tier, the license does not terminate automatically. Termination under this Section applies only if you fail to cure the discrepancy in accordance with Section 3.11.
Sections that by their nature should survive termination shall survive, including but not limited to restrictions, ownership, AI and machine learning restrictions, reference footage restrictions, tier eligibility and correction obligations, warranty disclaimers, limitation of support, and governing law.
11. Refunds, Exchanges, and Tier Changes
Due to the digital nature of the Mocap Atlas Products, refunds are limited. Refunds or exchanges may be considered if the product does not match the technical specifications stated at the time of sale, if required files are missing and cannot be corrected, or if the Buyer purchased the wrong product and requests an exchange.
If you purchased a Pro License when an Indie License would have been sufficient, you may request a refund of the price difference within thirty (30) days of purchase, subject to proof of eligibility. If you purchased an Indie License when a Pro License was required, Section 3.11 applies.
Refund, exchange, or tier correction requests must be submitted with proof of purchase and a clear description of the issue.
12. Warranty
The Mocap Atlas Products are provided "as-is" without warranty of any kind. While Quantum Stage GmbH strives to ensure product quality, Quantum Stage GmbH makes no warranties, express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.
Quantum Stage GmbH will make reasonable efforts to address missing files or technical delivery issues if reported with sufficient detail and proof of purchase.
13. Maintenance and Support
Quantum Stage GmbH does not provide ongoing maintenance, updates, customization, integration support, retargeting support, or technical support unless otherwise agreed in writing. Support entitlements are the same under the Indie License and the Pro License.
14. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Canton of Zurich, Switzerland, without regard to its conflict of law principles.
The Buyer agrees to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in Zurich, Switzerland for any disputes arising out of or related to this Agreement. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) is expressly excluded.
