Rights Managed Licence Agreement

Last updated: January 2018

Rights-managed license Fee

Our rights-managed license is for a specific, one-time use, for a specified time. The fee for using the image is calculated from several factors including use, medium, duration of use, print run, placement, size and geographic distribution. The customer must declare the intended use of the image before licensing, at the latest, prior to technical utilisation. According to the customers declaration we will grant permission for utilisation of the delivered image(s).
