Image content in our portfolio must be licensed before use. Our content is licensed for specific, predefined usages only. You must identify how, where, to what extent and in what context an image you license will to be used before the license is granted.

Usage fees are based on the requested usage. You are typically granted one-time usage rights and must follow our conditions for usage, which are generally set out below. Note that those conditions may be changed or amended as part of our usage agreement. Under our license, you acknowledge that you are not purchasing the image itself, but a license to use an image. You may not edit or alter the image unless specifically authorized in writing.

You must ensure the identification of copyright owner and agency, in such a way that prevents any doubt about such information pertaining to a certain image. Omission of such image and/or copyright information will incur a surcharge of 100% of the agreed license fee. We will inform you of image and copyright information and it will be stated in your invoice.

When licensing an image from us, you acknowledge that there is limited usage of the image. You may also request exclusive rights to a particular image and eliminate simultaneous usage by competitors for a limited time.

Images may be stored by you for a limited time and you must limit access to those persons who are directly involved in creation of the licensed use as set out as part of your invoice. You must also not make images publicly accessible. Following your licensed use, you must cease to use all images and delete/destroy any copies. Images remain the property of us, the copyright holder, and/or our suppliers.

Any license granted by us is on the condition that you obtain all necessary third-party rights. You agree to provide us with proof of all such rights upon request. Images may not be used as a trademark, for unlawful purpose, to defame any person, to infringe on privacy, to break any copyright or trade name of any person or entity.

Unless otherwise specified in writing, your use of our images is limited to the specific usage as set out in your invoice. However this license is only granted on your meeting all conditions imposed in our agreement and your invoice, and on our receiving all payment within the time specified in our agreement or invoice. Failure to meet any of these criteria will void any license granted to you and will constitute a violation of copyright law.

The license granted to you is non-transferable. Work produced incorporating the image must be for your own use or for the use of your direct employer, client or customer, who must be the end user of your work. Reselling or re-licensing our images is not permitted.

On our request you are obliged to provide, free of charge, a copy or access to the work produced by you incorporating the image for our records.
