Licensing Overview
Here are some examples of image uses for which you will need an image license:

   -  Book covers, jackets and interior pages
   -  Packaging for software, music albums, CDs, cassettes and videotapes
   -  Calendars, greeting cards and posters
   -  Trade show displays, billboards and exhibits

Images are not licensed for use in a downloadable or FTP format.
 
Pornographic use, use that would be defamatory or libelous absent the consent of the model, or use that is otherwise unlawful is prohibited.  If an image featuring a person is used in a manner that implies endorsement, use of, or a connection to a product or service by that model, or a potentially unflattering or controversial subject, you must print a statement along with the image, which indicates that the person is a model and is used for illustrative purposes only.
 
Here is a brief overview of the two kinds of license agreements that we offer.
 
Rights-Managed License
A Rights-Managed License shall be limited to the purpose specified by you at the time that you purchase the license.  Any use of an image beyond such specified purpose will require you to obtain an additional license for such use. Rights-managed images are licensed by calculating several factors, including size, placement, duration of use and geographic distribution of the image(s). 
 
Royalty-Free License
A Royalty-Free License contains only a limitation upon the size of the image(s) that can be used, with no limitations upon the placement, duration of use or geographic location.  Royalty-free images can be used for multiple projects across a broad range of media over an unlimited period of time, but also require that you agree to the terms of the License Agreement.
