FAQs
- Can I buy the image for exclusive use?
- The price I need is not on the calculator, what should I do?
- What should I do if I want to use an image in a new project or extend the rights on an existing licence?
It’s possible that the image you have selected may be available for exclusive use. Exclusivity generally incurs a greater fee and in order to broker the best deal for you and our contributor you will need to liaise with your account handler or our customer service team.
There may be occasions when your intended usage is not available as a standard licence. Your account handler or our customer service team will be able to guide you in finding the best or most appropriate licence or set of licences for your requirements.
Please contact your account manager or our customer service team to check whether the image is available for re-license of additional rights.
