TERMS & CONDITIONS
Please read this and the Legal Notices carefully before completing your registration.

No reproduction rights are granted unless expressly indicated. Your right to reproduce an image arises only if (a) licence terms have been agreed between us (b) our invoice relating to the grant of such right is fully paid. Any reproduction before payment of the invoice or outside the terms of any licence constitutes an infringement of copyright and also a breach of this Agreement entitling us to rescind and claim damages. You must indemnify us in respect of any claims, damages, costs or expenses we incur arising from any unauthorised reproduction of any image supplied to you.

Reproduction rights, when granted, unless otherwise specified in writing are:

♦ subject to these terms and conditions and any terms and conditions set out in the delivery note and licence;

♦ non-exclusive reproduction rights for single use only in the United Kingdom. A single use means a reproduction in one size for one edition of a single publication, published in one language only;

♦ strictly limited to the use, period of time and territory stated in the licence;

♦ personal to you (client/user) and not assignable by you to any third party. You may NOT license the use of any image to any third party.

♦ and you agree to indemnify us in respect of any claims, damages, costs or expenses we incur arising from the misuse of any image supplied to you.

Any licence granted will terminate immediately if you (a) die, (b) enter into voluntary or compulsory liquidation; (c) have a receiver appointed; or (d) fail to perform any of your obligations under these Terms & Conditions within 28 days of our giving you notice to comply. In the event of termination, all rights granted will immediately revert to Signs-and-Wonders.com and any further exploitation of the image/s shall constitute an infringement of copyright.

In ordering a reproduction right you also agree to ensure the proper credit is given in the publication (whether printed, electronic or any other from) in proximity to the image or its caption every time the image is used. Please see the extended captions in the intermediate/zoom/ or enlarged view window on the website for the appropriate credit information for each image. This should include the copyright symbol and any specified copyright owner. An example of the accepted form is © Ivan Mackerle / Sign-and-Wonders

NB: If you fail to credit the image as per our agreement an additional 50% of the original licence fee will be payable.

Our agreement includes your acknowledgement that our images are valuable assets, as are any digital images created from them.

You may not create, store or transmit any images supplied to you by Signs-and-Wonders.com without our permission except where necessary to the process of publishing the image/s as licensed by us. This permission must be sought and granted prior to any such action on your part; to do otherwise will be considered a breach of contract.

You must pay our invoice within 30 days of issue. However in the case of newspaper, periodical magazines and broadcasting use only, if we agree in advance, you may pay by the end of the calendar month immediately following publication or use, or within six months of the issue of our invoice, whichever is sooner.

If you do not pay in accordance with these terms then we may at our option rescind our Agreement and recover damages, or charge interest at the rate prescribed by the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998 from the date payment was due until payment is made.

Do not divulge your password to anyone else, nor permit it to be used by others. As the registered user of that password, you may be invoiced for any images that are downloaded and published (including Internet usage) without prior payment or permission.

Signs-and-Wonders.com reserves the right to deactivate accounts without advance notice if it has reason to believe client security and these Terms & Conditions have been breached.

To reiterate, by downloading or opening any of our image files – including low-resolution versions - you reaffirm your agreement to these Terms. If this is not acceptable, do not proceed with any download .
