1. Definitions

1.1 "Licensed Image" means any still image, photograph (including negatives and transparencies), illustration (created digitally or by any other means), reproduction or any other product protected by copyright, trademark, patent or other intellectual property rights, which is licensed to Licensee by Licensor under the terms of this Agreement.

2. Use granted by Licence

2.1 Upon the payment of the purchase price for Licensed Images, Licensee is granted a non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use and reproduce the image in printed materials, or any electronic or digital form. In the latter case, each image should be incorporated into a design in such a manner to make it clear that the image is not intended to be separately downloaded, copied, or distributed and the image size in use must be less than 800 pixels on the longest side.

2.2 The above is subject to the following restrictions. Without limitation, images may not be used:

  • as a trademark or service mark
  • for any pornographic, unlawful purpose or use
  • to defame any person
  • to violate any person's right of privacy or publicity
  • to infringe upon any copyright, trade name, trademark, or service mark of any person/entity
  • for uses covering sensitive subjects including, without limitation, topics that may depict the subject matter of a Licensed Image in a negative or unfavorable light or subject persons to ridicule
  • use in retail photo products � these include, without limitation, greeting cards, calendars, postcards, stationery, mouse pads, clothing etc.
  • for a purpose in respect of which a model or property release is required should such a release not be available. You shall check that the image has the appropriate releases before using the image for such a purpose.

2.3 If any Licensed Image which features a model is used in a manner that implies connection to a product or service by that model, or a potentially unflattering or controversial subject, Licensee must accompany each such use with a statement that indicates that the person is a model and is used for illustrative purposes only.

2.4 "Non-transferable" means that the work Licensee produces using an Image must be for its own use, or if purchased on behalf of an employer or client, that employer or client must be the end-user of the work. Licensee may not sell, rent, loan, give, sublicense, or otherwise transfer to anyone the Licensed Image, or the right to use an Image, and nothing Licensee produces shall grant or purport to grant to any third party a right to use or duplicate a Licensed Image. Licensee agrees to take all commercially reasonable steps to prevent third parties from duplicating or distributing the Licensed Image.

All Licensed Images are copyright of If Images (DNS Europe Ltd) or its licensors, protected by the United Kingdom laws, international treaty provisions and other applicable laws. No ownership or copyright in any Licensed Image will be transferred to Licensee by issuing the Licence. If Images (DNS Europe Ltd) retains all rights not expressly granted by this licence agreement.
