Downloads and usage of content under a “Standard License” are not subject to royalty calculations.
1-2 “Usage Count” means the number of pages of “Premium Content” used within a single user-created design document downloaded from “MiriCanvas,” aggregated by summing the “valid usages” within “valid downloads.”
1-2-a The “Number of Use” of content in GIF, MP4 or MOV format will be calculated once they are downloaded in the form of GIF or Footage type. If they are downloaded in the other file type of JPG, PNG, PDF and PPT etc, or downloaded in a low-resolution format shall not be included in the calculating “Number of Use” and will not be considered as copyright infringement. The Contributor acknowledges and agrees that the aforementioned usage does not constitute a case of copyright infringement.

The Contributor acknowledges and agrees that the aforementioned usage does not constitute a case of copyright infringement.
1-2-c A “Valid Download” refers to a download by the same user of the same user-created design document within 24 hours that is not deemed to be an intentional repeated download solely to increase the download count. Revenue is aggregated based on these valid downloads.
1-2-d The “Effective Usage Count” per page is a concept that separately calculates the usage count based on the number of pages in a design document where the contributor’s element has been applied.
1-2-e The “Usage Count” of content is weighted based on “Content Type” and “User Intent”, with the weighted Usage Count total used as the final Usage Count for settlement. “User Intent” is defined by the manner in which the user applied the contributor’s element in their design, with differentiated weights applied based on the usage method.
| Content Type | Weight |
| Photo or illustration element(JPG, PNG, SVG) | 1 |
| GIF animation element(GIF) | 2 |
| BGM sound source element(MP3) | 4 |
| SFX sound source(MP3) | 1 |
| Video element (MP4) | 5 |
