Use of Watermarked Media – Using Media for comping

Media includes without limitation all digital images, signs and illustrations and any related textual information. Media includes visibly or electronically watermarked and reduced resolution Media (Non-Watermarked or Watermarked Media) or higher resolution non-watermarked Media (Non-Watermarked Media).

Conditional upon your compliance with this Agreement, IDEA grants you a limited license to download Watermarked Media solely for evaluating/comping whether you wish to purchase a license to the Non-Watermarked Media. You may not use a Watermarked Media in any final materials distributed within your company or any materials distributed outside of your company or to the public or in any online or other electronic distribution system. You may not modify, alter, or remove any visible or electronic watermark, or disassemble, reverse engineer, or decompile any Media. Except for this limited, internal testing and sample use, IDEA grants you no other rights, and you may not distribute, sublicense or make available for use or distribution any Watermarked Media.

Royalty-Free concept

Royalty-Free License – Concept

What Royalty-Free means is that you pay for the Media only once and then you can use it as many times as you like, with just a few restrictions (see below). In other words, there are no license fees except the initial fee and no other royalties to be paid except those included in the initial cost. You are allowed to use the image for an unlimited number of copies, printed and/or electronic. This license is granted in perpetuity and it is worldwide valid.

The Royalty-Free license is granted ONLY for the non-watermarked Media you buy using the download button or link; all the other versions (small watermarked and non-watermarked thumbnails which are visible on the public site) are entirely copyrighted.

Royalty-Free license for using our Media

Use of Non-Watermarked Media and Restrictions

The list is not exhaustive and if you have any uncertainty regarding the use of the Media in a correct way please send us an e-mail.

Web templates, greeting cards, postcards, similar print-on-demand services, canvas, t-shirts, mugs, calendars, mouse pads or any other items incorporating the Media in an essential manner, intended to be sold are considered redistribution.
