Image Licensing

All images requested and purchased through Marc-André Pauzé are offered on an individual license basis – sometimes referred to as Rights Managed Licensing. The copyright of the image is always retained by the photographer. The licenses serve to protect the rights of the photographer, the licensee and even the subject matter of the images. Rights management has advantages for the licensee as it can be used to limit the use of a particular image, even allowing the use to be licensed exclusively, which effectively embargoes the use of the same image within the requested media. When an image is licensed, there will be standard terms and conditions outlined with your specific usage rights. This will be sent to you by post or email once the license has been agreed, with the full Name of photographer terms and conditions.

Usage Rights.

When an image is licensed by Marc-André Pauzé, the usage is specified on the invoice and cannot be used for any other purpose without further agreement by the photographer. The license will state the media use, language rights and the territories for the usage.

Usage Fee.

A fee is generally payable to license any rights managed image. The fee is based on how the image is going to be used. This will be calculated by such factors as the print run, media, the reproduction size, and territory distribution and whether the requested use is exclusive or non-exclusive. Marc-André Pauzé calculate this fee by relying in good faith on the information provided by the licensee. Incorrect information can lead to a surcharge on the originally agreed fee and may lead to a cancellation of the license.
