  • Images are for digital use within Wix only and may not be used for printing.

  • You may not use the image as a trademark for a business.

  • You may not portray a person in a way that may be offensive, including:

    • in connection with adult-oriented services or ads for dating services;

    • in connection with political endorsements;

    • with pornographic, defamatory, unlawful, offensive or immoral content; and

    • as suffering from, or being treated for, a physical or mental ailment.

  • You may only use the image in websites and content on Wix, and not with other website or content services.
