The
Terms and Conditions relating to this transaction explain in
detail the requirements for copyright notices. We bring to
your particular attention the following: (a) where the Image
is used substantially alone (common examples: wall calendar,
greeting card cover), proper copyright notice (reading:
"© [Image Rightsholder's name] c/o
StockMedia.net") must be displayed near the Image in a type
size large enough to be read under ordinary circumstances;
(b) where the material in which the Image is used contains
other creators' credits or copyright notices (common
examples: books with named authors, periodicals containing
bylined articles), proper copyright notice (reading: "©
[Image Rightsholder's name] c/o StockMedia.net")
must be displayed either near the image in a type size no
smaller than the smallest typeface in the adjacent text or
together with all other applicable creators' credits or
copyright notices in a single place in the overall work; and
(c) pages of advertising and other circumstances where the
material in which the Image is used contains no other
creators credits or copyright notices (common
examples: point-of-purchase display, billboard), proper
copyright notice in the above form is requested but not
required. Failure to include any required notice results in
loss to the Image Rightsholder and to StockMedia.net, and
User agrees to pay liquidated damages for each such failure
equal to twice the use fee charged for the applicable
transaction, in addition to the use fee itself and any other
applicable fees and charges. User may
not make or permit any alterations, including without
limitation additions, subtractions or adaptations, to any
Image, except that cropping, and alterations of contrast,
brightness and color balance, consistent with reproduction
needs, may be made. No Image may be used in any way that is
defamatory, violates the rights of third parties (including
such third parties rights of copyright, privacy,
publicity, or other tangible or intangible property), or is
otherwise illegal or obscene. In addition, User may not
conjoin an Image with any other material that may result in
damage to the reputation of the Image
Rightsholder.
