“Brand” refers to Shelby Motor Company, the company that allows TurboSquid to disseminate Stock Media Products depicting its Objects under the Shelby Motor Company License.

“Object” means certain elements from reference imagery used to build a Stock Media Product. By way of example, if you use images of an automobile to direct the authorship of a Stock Media Product depicting the automobile, the Object is the automobile in the images.

III. Publishing Rules for Stock Media Products Depicting the Brand
