For example, Buyer cannot make an image of a texture map mapped to a flat plane, such that the original texture map can be cut & pasted from the image. This is only meant to protect the Author from Buyers releasing work which lets other users obtain the copyrighted material without paying, and is not trying to infringe upon the artistic endeavors of the Buyer.
Buyer cannot make any MetaStream animation files with the enclosed materials, until such time this format can protect the original materials from being extracted. Buyer cannot return an item once purchased. Like all electronic media, there is no way to give a refund just because you don't like something, there simply is no way to return it. If you aren't sure about an item, don't buy it! Ask the Author for some work done with the item to see the results. Ask in the forums if anyone else has purchased the item, and if they thought it was worth the money. However, once Buyer has purchased an item, there is no getting your money back or exchanging the item under any circumstances.
