Information on Commercial Licensing of Photos

WHAT’S A NON-EXCLUSIVE LICENSE?

Unless otherwise agreed upon in writing, all of my work available for purchase on this site are licensed as non-exclusive, meaning that I may sell more than one license of that specific image at any time with no predetermined limit to the number of times and places it may be used by others who purchase a license too. In rare cases I have signed contracts agreeing to an exclusive time-limited license regarding a specific image for a specific type of use, in this case the production of postcards.

WHAT IS YOUR RETURN POLICY?

As my photographs are delivered as high resolution digital files for immediate download, I cannot accept returns or requests for refunds.

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO RECEIVE MY ORDER?

I will email the relevant file(s) to you either directly or via We Transfer for you to download as soon as a written agreement has been made/contract signed or payment is confirmed.

CAN I COPY OR USE THE IMAGES FROM THIS WEBSITE ON MY OWN WEBSITE, SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNT, BLOG, MAGAZINE, BUSINESS CARD, ETC.?

If you purchase a Commercial license for the photo in question, yes. All rights to all the images on this site are reserved by me, Camilla Jørvad, and are protected by EU and international copyright laws.

EXAMPLES OF USE PERMITTED UNDER A “COMMERCIAL LICENSE”?

“Commercial Use” is any use that involves an exchange of money or other consideration / promotes a business, product, or service (For instance, posting one of my photos on your professional Instagram account, even if you are not directly selling in that specific post caption is still commercial use.) / where financial gain or other consideration is either sought or a result, directly or indirectly, of Licensee’s use of the image.
