Creative Rights Managed
When you purchase a RM image license your use is based on the specifications of your project details: the type of project, placement of image, image size, duration of use and geographic distribution. The price will vary based on these details. To use the image again for additional use you will need to re-license it. Rights managed content can be licensed on a non-exclusive or exclusive basis. Exclusive rights are available for some rights-managed content. When licensing RM content exclusively, you will pay an additional fee. Payment of this additional fee ensures that the content will now be exclusive to the industry, territory, usage, all based on the terms negotiated. Our AP price calculator and/or our sales representatives can help you determine the price for the use of every RM image.
