Copyright Notice

 

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.
