n
Art
Print -
available for purchase to put in your home, office, or
other building as artwork. You are NOT allowed to reproduce
these prints in any form without purchasing the right to do
so.
Company
Represented -
the company whose product or service oversees the "End
User". In some self promotion cases, this entity may be the
same as the "End User". So 'Focus on the Family' would be
the Company Represented for a purchase of an image for the
end user 'Focus on the Family International'. The Company
Represented is defined by the purchaser during the check out
process.
Copyright
-
the
unencumbered use of property. The copyright is always owned
by the creator of property until legally relinquished by the
owner. My consignment photographers and I own the copyrights
to the images until they sell that right. America the
Beautiful Photos is the agent that assigns, or licenses, the
use-rights on behalf of the consignment photographers.
Penalties of up to $100,000 are awarded for copyright
infringement. Please ask before purchasing if you are not
sure of the rights that you are purchasing from this site.
End User -
the
Use-License for some image categories (such as Rights
Managed images) is limited to use by a single "End User".
The End User is the entity that benefits from their
association with the photo license purchased. This could be
a product name, ad campaign, a Web site URL or a person
within an organization, etc. In general it is the entity for
which there is no further subdivision. For example if the
photo is to be used on an advertising poster for Taste Right
Cola made by Bob's Bottling Company, the End User is 'Taste
Right Cola', not Bob's Bottling Company. If Web-site-only
rights are purchased, the End User is the URL of the home
page, of the Web site. The End User is named by the
purchaser during the purchasing process.
File Size
-
limited by the size of the original media on which the
photograph was captured. I license a few different sizes of files.
Each file size has specifications as the dots per inch (dpi)
and the overall size that it will print: for instance,
at 300 dpi (an
accepted standard for quality printing on an offset or
digital press). For example, you will see specifications such
as 4MB/300 dpi/11" x 14" on this Web site. This means that the
image takes up approximately 4 MegaBites of computer disk space, allows
for 300 dots of ink per inch of printed material, and will
yield a maximum print size of 11" x 14" at 300 dpi.
License or
Use-License -
refers to the method that we transfer rights to use images.
Images are generally licensed, not purchased,
from this Web site. The industry calls this assigning of rights
"Licensing" or purchasing a "Use License". Licensing varies
greatly from Web site to Web site, so be sure you read the
license agreement for each purchase so that you know how you
are allowed to use an image. You can
purchase the original copyrights
from the photographers in most cases if you feel you want to
own the image. The individual photographer will set the
price.
Rights
Managed -
the End User's rights to use the image are strictly limited.
Every Web site has it's own rules as to what rights they are
selling with the photographs. Images on America the
Beautiful Photos are limited to a single End User, a defined
distribution number, with a time limit for use. The use
period and distribution can be extended by re-purchasing the
rights.
Royalty-Free -
you can use the images for any use not prohibited in the
license without further fee. You may not distribute copies
of the images, only the items created with the images.
