In accordance with the Copyright, Designs & Patents Act 1988, the

Client is forbidden by law to copy any images created by the
photographer and agrees that all photographic reprints, digital
duplications or copies of any type made from images created by the

to reproduce such images is granted to the Client on the understanding
that all invoices are paid within the Photographer’s stated payment
terms.
Reproduction rights (if and when granted) are strictly limited to the
use specified on the Photographer’s invoice and/or quotation. An
agreement must be reached with the Photographer before the pictures are
used for a different purpose or after the licence to use has expired.
The Photographer reserves the right to charge an additional fee if the
photographs are used for purposes other than what is shown on the

If the Client wishes to own the copyright of images created by the

Photographer for transferring the copyright. This fee will be mutually
agreed by both parties. The transfer of copyright will only become
applicable after this payment has been made in full.
On instances where the Client requests copies from media that they have
supplied, all work is undertaken on the assumption that the Client has
obtained written permission from the legal copyright holder for copies
to be made. The Photographer may contact the copyright holder of the
said image to confirm that authorisation to copy the image has been
given. The Client agrees to fully indemnify the Photographer in respect
of any claims or damages or any costs arising in respect of claims for
copyright violation made by a third party.

make them available for future reproduction in return for the relevant
fee.

created during assignments for marketing, promotional, competition and
editorial purposes.
