The Images are submitted on loan at your request, on approval only. Our delivery note lists 
the Images delivered to you, which shall be deemed to have been received complete and in 
good condition, unless we receive notification of any discrepancy or damage within 48 hours 
of receipt.

Images belong to us. They are your responsibility from the time we despatch them until we 
receive them back. You are urged to take out insurance to cover the total value of the Images 
delivered.

You must pay a non-refundable service fee to cover administrative costs and despatch of 
Images on each submission and resubmission of Images whether or not reproduction rights 
are required or granted. We will deliver Images to you by the most appropriate safe method 
which affords proof of delivery, and may invoice you for the delivery costs.

"Return Date" is the date by which the Images must be returned as specified on the delivery 
note or licence. If no date is specified, the Return Date shall be four weeks from the date of 
the delivery note.
         

You must pay the rental fee specified in the delivery note until we receive the Images back. 
Payment of the rental fee does not entitle you to retain any Image after its Return Date.

You must return Images to us by a safe method which affords proof  of delivery. You must 
arrange adequate protection for Images in transit. You must enclose a delivery note detailing 
and totalling the returned  Images and must send a copy of that note by separate post, fax 
or email.

You must immediately notify us in writing of any loss or damage. You must pay us 
compensation for each Image ost or damaged at the rates specified on the delivery note 
which are a genuine pre-estimate of the loss which we will suffer. Any Image returned without 
its mount or with its caption  or other mount data missing or defaced, may incur a replacement 
charge at the rate set out in the delivery note. Payment of compensation does not entitle you 
to any additional rights in the material. An Image subsequently found must be returned 
immediately. If it is undamaged you will be credited with any compensation paid less a rental 
fee at the rate set out in the delivery note from the Return Date to the date the Image is 
returned. Such credit will never be less than 20% of any compensation paid. 

The reproduction by whatever means of the whole or any part of any Image (including, without 
limitation, slide projection, artist's reference, artist's illustration, layout or presentation of Images) 
is strictly forbidden  without our specific written permission. You must inform us of your 
proposals  as to when and how an Image is intended to be used. We will then consider whether 
we would wish to grant a licence and, if so, on what terms.

No reproduction rights are granted by virtue of delivery of Images unless expressly indicated. 
Your right to reproduce an Image arises only if  (a) licence terms are agreed and (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 reproduction 
of any Image supplied to you.

You must satisfy yourself that all necessary rights, model releases or consents which may 
be required for reproduction are obtained and that the use of any image is not obscene, 
indecent, libellous or unlawful.  We make no claim or warranty with regard to your use of content, 
names, text, people, trademarks or copyright material depicted in any Image and you will 
indemnify us in respect of any claims, damages, costs or expenses we incur arising from 
the use of any Image supplied to you.

Reproduction rights (if granted ), unless otherwise agreed in writing are 

 a)  subject to these terms and conditions and any terms and conditions 
      set out in the delivery note and licence, 

 b)  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, 

c)  strictly limited to the use, period of time and territory stated in the licence,

d)  personal to you and not assignable by you to any third party. 

If we agree that you may license the use of any  Image to any third party, you shall enter into an 
agreement with such third party to ensure that they are bound by licence terms restricting printing, 
copying, networking, multiple access or other use of the Images to personal use only, forbidding 
the assignment, resale, rental and lending of the Image and ensuring that credit is given to us and 
the author. 

You must credit us and the author as specified  by us every time an Image is used. If you fail to 
credit the Image an additional 50% of the original licence fee will be payable.

Images shall not be altered or manipulated, added to, or have any part deleted without our prior 
written consent.

You must provide us on publication with at least  one complimentary copy of any publication in 
which the reproduction of the Image appears.

You acknowledge that Images are our valuable property, as are any digital images created from 
the Images (" Digital Images"). 

You may not create, store or transmit Digital Images without our permission except so far as is 
incidentally and wholly necessary to the process of producing items licensed by us. If permission 
is granted the following conditions apply:

Each Digital Image created by you shall be recorded and labelled with the Image reference number 
used by us and our copyright / credit information as an integral part of the image file, and  held on 
an electronic database under your sole possession and control. 

Unless otherwise agreed, any Digital Image you  create must not be greater in size than 
640 x 480 pixels,  72 ppi. Any use of the Digital Images shall be in a format designed so that it
will not be possible to alter, manipulate or adapt any Digital Image in any way during the normal 
course of using the product. 

You agree to destroy all Digital Images including any pre-press or pre-production copies of the 
Images and any copies or records of the Images held on a database within 90 days of the date 
of receipt of the Images or completion of the maximum production run, or expiry of the licence 
term, whichever is later.

While we take reasonable care in the performance of this agreement, we shall not be liable for 
any loss or damage suffered by you or by any third party arising from use or reproduction of any 
Image or its caption. Damages for any other breach shall be limited to the licence fee paid by you.

You must pay our invoice within 30 days of issue. However in the case of newspaper, periodical 
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 this 
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. 

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 and Conditions 
    within 28 days of our giving you notice to comply. In the event of termination,
    all rights granted will immediately revert to us and any further exploitation 
    of any Image shall constitute an infringement of copyright.

Any publication right (as defined in the Copyright and Related Rights Regulations 1996) arising 
from your use of any Image shall vest in us and you hereby assign all such rights arising to us.

Our failure to exercise or enforce any of our rights will not be deemed to be a waiver of such 
rights nor bar their exercise or enforcement in future.

Should any disagreement arise between us, we shall, if we both agree, first try to settle it by 
a mediation procedure recommended by the BPLC.

These Terms and Conditions shall be governed by the laws of England and Wales and the parties 
agree to submit the jurisdiction of the English courts, such jurisdiction to be exclusive, save for 
infringement of copyright or non payment of our invoices where it will be non-exclusive.        


However if our business address specified overleaf is in Scotland then these terms and conditions
shall be governed by the laws of Scotland and the parties agree to submit to the jurisdiction of the 
Scottish courts, such jurisdiction to be exclusive, save for infringement of copyright or non payment 
of our invoices where it will be non-exclusive.
