Supply of images
- All Images belong to us.
- We will deliver Images to you by the most appropriate safe method
that affords proof of delivery, and may invoice you for the delivery
costs.
- Rights are granted on a strictly one time, one edition, non-exclusive
use, unless agreed otherwise in writing.
- Re-use of Images without written permission from us is forbidden.
Licence for Use of Images
- The reproduction by whatever means of the whole or any part of any
Image (including, without limitation, slide projection, artist’s
reference, artist’s illustration, layout or presentation of Images)
is strictly forbidden without our specific written permission. You must
inform us of your proposals as to when and how an Image is intended
to be used. We will then consider whether we would wish to grant a licence
and, if so, on what terms.
- No reproduction rights are granted by virtue of delivery of Images
unless expressly indicated. Your right to reproduce an Image arises
only if
(a) licence terms are agreed and
(b) our invoice relating to the grant of such right is fully paid.
Any reproduction before payment of the invoice or outside the terms
of any licence constitutes an infringement of copyright and a breach
of this Agreement entitling us to rescind and claim damages. You must
indemnify us in respect of any claims, damages, costs or expenses we
incur arising from any reproduction of any Image supplied to you.
- You must satisfy yourself that all necessary rights, model releases
or consents which may be required for reproduction are obtained and
that the use of any Image is not obscene, indecent, libellous or unlawful.
We make no claim or warranty with regard to your use of content, names,
text, people, trademarks or copyright material depicted in any Image
and you will indemnify us in respect of any claims, damages, costs or
expenses we incur arising from the use of any Image supplied to you.
- Reproduction rights (if granted), unless otherwise agreed in writing
are
(a) subject to these terms and conditions and any terms and conditions
set out in the delivery note and licence,
(b) non-exclusive reproduction rights for single use only in the United
Kingdom. A single use means a reproduction in one size for one edition
of a single publication, published in one language only,
(c) strictly limited to the use, period of time and territory stated
in the licence,
(d) personal to you and not assignable by you to any third party,
(e) digital and analogue reproduction are granted and charged as separate
licences,
- If we agree that you may license the use of any Image to any third
party, you shall enter into an Agreement with such third party to ensure
that they are bound by licence terms restricting printing, copying,
networking, multiple access or other use of the Images to personal use
only, forbidding the assignment, resale, rental and lending of the Image
and ensuring that credit is given to us and the author.
- You must credit us and the photographer as specified by us every
time an Image is used. If you fail to credit the Image an additional
50% of the original licence fee will be payable. The credit should take
the following format:
Photographer Name (rspb-images.com) eg. Andy Hay (rspb-images.com)
- Images shall not be altered or manipulated, added to, or have any
part deleted without our prior written consent.
- You must provide us on publication with at least one complimentary
copy of any publication in which the reproduction of the Image appears.
Digital Use of Images
- You acknowledge that Images are our valuable property, as are any
digital Images created from the Images (“Digital Images”).
- You may not create, store or transmit Digital Images without our
permission except so far as is incidentally and wholly necessary to
the process of producing items licensed by us. If permission is granted
the following conditions apply:
- Each Digital Image created by you shall be recorded and labelled
with the Image reference number used by us and our copyright credit
information as an integral part of the Image file, and held on an electronic
database under your sole possession and control.
- Unless otherwise agreed, any Digital Image you create must not be
greater in size than 640x480 pixels, 72ppi. Any use of the Digital Images
shall be in a format designed so that it will not be possible to alter,
manipulate or adapt any Digital Image in any way during the normal course
of using the product.
- You agree to destroy all Digital Images including any pre-press or
pre-production copies of the Images and any copies or records of the
Images held on a database within 90 days of the date of receipt of the
Images or completion of the maximum production run, or expiry of the
licence term, whichever is later.
Miscellaneous
- While we take reasonable care in the performance of this Agreement,
we shall not be liable for any loss or damage suffered by you or by
any third party arising from use or reproduction of any Image or its
caption. Damages for any other breach shall be limited to the licence
fee paid by you.
- You must pay our invoice within 28 days of issue.
- Until we have invoiced the reproduction fee neither party is committed
to grant or to acquire any reproduction rights in any Image. After a
fee has been agreed and an invoice issued there is a firm and binding
contract, whereby we are committed to grant reproduction rights and
you to acquire them. If after invoicing but before payment you request
cancellation of the rights, we may at our discretion cancel subject
to you paying a Cancellation Fee.
- If you do not pay in accordance with these terms then we may at our
option rescind this Agreement and recover damages, or charge interest
at the rate prescribed by the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest)
Act 1998 from the date payment was due until payment is made.
- Any licence granted will terminate immediately if you (a) die, (b)
enter into voluntary or compulsory liquidation; (c) have a receiver
appointed; or (d) fail to perform any of your obligations under these
Terms and Conditions within 28 days of our giving you notice to comply.
In the event of termination, all rights granted will immediately revert
to us and any further exploitation of any Image shall constitute an
infringement of copyright.
- Any publication right (as defined in the Copyright and Related Rights
Regulations 1996) arising from your use of any Image shall vest in us
and you hereby assign all such rights arising to us.
- Our failure to exercise or enforce any of our rights will not be
deemed a waiver of such rights nor bar their exercise or enforcement
in future.
- Should any disagreement arise between us, we shall, if we both agree,
first try to settle it by a mediation procedure recommended by the BPLC
- These Terms and Conditions shall be governed by the laws of England
and Wales and the parties agree to submit the jurisdiction of the English
courts, such jurisdiction to be exclusive, save for infringement of
copyright or non payment of our invoices where it will be non-exclusive.
