As you may have noticed, we have recently made the following changes to licencing terms throughout the contributor pages of our website and in Manage Images;

  • “L” or “Licenced” has now been replaced with “Rights Managed”

The reasons for doing this were to have consistency with what our customers see, for example RM or RF images. We felt having the term “Licenced” and “Rights Managed” was confusing as it means exactly the same thing. “Rights Managed” is also a standardised industry term.

  • “Licenced Rights Protected” or “RP” will now be referred to as “Rights Managed – Exclusive” or “RM-E”

The term “Rights Protected” has been changed because it sounds slightly misleading, we feel “Rights Managed – Exclusive” is more straight forward and self explanatory.

  • “Royalty Free” or “RF” will stay as it is

For more information on what these terms mean please see our Licences page. If you have any questions about licenses please email Member Services.
