definitions of licenses we offer

rev 6/11/02

The following are detailed descriptions of the most common licenses we offer for our images. If we grant a license by name that appears in this document then the definition in this document is what we mean. All terms of our Policies and Terms document also apply. Any written statement by us supercedes these documents.

Personal Use ( top - close )

If we grant you Personal Use permission for an image we are giving you permission for you to use it for reasonable "personal uses." You can display it on your computer, email it to friends, post it on your personal, non-commercial website, print it out, give away printed copies, and anything else of a personal and non-commercial nature.

You may NOT:

use it in any way related to a business or commercial enterprise
use it in any way related to an organization or corporation (whether for-profit or non-profit)
cause it to be published in any publication (except you may publish it on a personal website)
transfer or bestow permission to use it to anyone else
modify it except as permitted in our Standard Terms
sell it in any form (printed or electronic) or include it as part of something that is sold

The Standard Terms in our Policies and Terms document also apply.

Single Use ( top - close )

Single Use allows you to use the image one time in the manner and for the purpose to which we have agreed. This is your best option if you want to run an image in an ad, catalog, or other "one off" use.

By default publication rights are limited to the United States and magazine publication is limited to first North American serial rights.

The Standard Terms in our Policies and Terms document also apply.

General Use ( top - close )

General Use allows the named individual, business, club, organization, government entity or other enterprise to use the image for promotion, as part of a product or for internal uses.

As General Use licensee of an image you may use the image:

in advertising (electronic, printed or otherwise)
in sales brochures, catalogs, displays, etc.
on your website
as part of a product which you sell as long as the product does not derive significant value from the image
in editorial material (including that published by others) relating to your business (press releases or for product reviews, for example)
in your annual report
in training manuals or other internal documents

The Standard Terms in our Policies and Terms document also apply.

Personal Business Use ( top - close )

Personal Business Use is intended to allow you to easily and inexpensively license images of you to use in promoting your own business. The specific permissions granted are the same as for General Use.

If we grant you Personal Business Use permission for an image then you may use it to promote a business of which you are an owner or principle, or are arguably "the product." For example, this could apply to trainers, doctors, real estate agents and other personal or professional services.

COMP Use ( top - close )

COMP Use permission gives you the right to use an image in-house for mockups or in other ways which allow you to evaluate the suitability of an image for the purpose at hand.

The Standard Terms in our Policies and Terms document also apply.

Private Use ( top - close )

Private Use permission is granted when the subject of a photograph is sensitive and it is not appropriate for the image to be spread around. You may only use the image for your own enjoyment. You may not reproduce the image in any way, email the image to anyone, post the image on any website, or otherwise allow the image to be publicly viewed.

The Standard Terms in our Policies and Terms document also apply.
