Image download terms and conditions
These image download terms and conditions were created for websites selling downloadable images, whether to consumers or businesses or both. The images could be graphic works or photographs.
Perhaps the key provision in this kind of contract is the licence: the grant of rights to the customer to do things with downloaded images. For example, customers may be granted rights to copy, adapt and publish images. The terms provide for a wide range of licensing options. Any intellectual property rights not expressly licensed are reserved to the seller.
The template sets out the website's ordering procedure and makes clear that the contract does not commence until the customer's order is accepted by the seller.
Website operators selling downloadable images will need to comply with the Electronic Commerce (EC Directive) Regulations 2002 and - in the case of sales to consumers - applicable laws on distance contracts. The download contract has been drafted to aid compliance with this legislation.
The website owner reserves the right to amend the terms and conditions from time to time; however this does not affect existing contracts.
The terms and conditions should be displayed on the seller's website. They should also be sent to the customer via email, in such a way that the customer is able to store and reproduce them. Completion of purchase should be conditional on acceptance of the terms and conditions.
