Licensing

We offer two types of licensing: One Time Use and Extended. Our standard One Time Use License permits you to use the purchased media in one design under the terms described below. Our Extended License expands on the One Time Use License to increase both the types and quantities of reproductions permitted, namely the ability to use our media in items that are meant for resale.

Our One Time Use Licence For Personal Web Use

Subject to the restrictions described under Prohibited Uses below, the following are ‘Permitted Uses’ of media purchased from us:
  1. school or university projects
  2. decorative background on a personal computer or mobile device
  3. online or electronic publications, including web pages, blogs, ebooks and videos, limited to a maximum of 480,000 total pixels (for example: 600px x 800px) per media file, provided the usage is not for profit by a natural person not a company nor any kind of organization. 
 

Our Extended Licence For All Other Uses

Our Extended license expands on our One Time use license in the following ways:
  • invitations, advertising and promotional projects, including printed materials, product packaging, presentations, film and video presentations, commercials, catalogues, brochures, promotional greeting cards and promotional postcards up to an unlimited number of prints;
  • entertainment applications, such as books and book covers, magazines, newspapers, editorials, newsletters, and video, broadcast and theatrical presentations up to an unlimited number of prints;
  • prints, posters (i.e. a hardcopy) and other reproductions for personal or promotional purposes, resale, license or other distribution up to an unlimited number of prints;
  • in themes, skins and other electronic software meant for resale limited to a maximum of 4,155,000 total pixels (for example:1662px x 2500px) per media file where un-edited.
 
Both our One Time Use and Extended licenses permit you to use the purchased media in one project only. For use in multiple projects, additional licenses may be required. An exception to this rule is if an image is used in an editorial capacity with a duplicate article both in print and online; one license permits you to use the same image in both mediums. For use in multiple projects, additional licenses will be required and will be based on the usage specifications supplied to us before purchase.
