Licensing terms and conditions

Licensing and usage terms

I will issue with the invoice the licensing terms and conditions. All images I will give you will always remain my “intellectual property”. This means I will retain ownership and copyright to them, in perpetuity. You will therefore license their use, rather than “own” the images. The licensing terms will cover any usage relating to the advertising, marketing, or promotion of your work, business or activity in any form, format, and in any media from printed brochures or adverts in magazines, or on your website, to online social media.

What you cannot do is to either sell the images or even give them to any third party to use without my consent. This includes anyone else involved in the project such as any professional collaborators, specialised craftsmen or other contractors, or any magazines, books, newspapers, etc. Any third party who would want to use the images, has to do so only with my written consent via a licence agreement. This includes any commercial third party’s use on any social media pages, or their website, whether or not they include my name or tag. They must obtain a licence from me for their use before doing so. There will be a charge, but I am reasonable and flexible.

Similarly should a magazine request one or more of the images of your project, or even an entire feature to publish, they should obtain a licence from me before doing so. I understand that if you are an interior designer or architect, having your work published in a magazine is important marketing. But the publication should get in touch with me first for a licence, before they publish the images.
