All uses of an Image must comply with these License Terms. Any terms and conditions of the Buyer shall not apply and are deemed invalid.
1. LICENSE PURCHASE
1.1 Single Image License
With the purchase of a single license, the Buyer receives a license to use the Image according to the acquired license type defined in section 2.
1.2 Image Packages
By purchasing one of the image packages offered by EyeEm, the Buyer acquires the right to make a certain number of image downloads within 12 months in the Business Account. The Essential Pack allows for download of images from the Essential Collection in form of a Standard License as defined in section 2 and does not cover images form the Premium Collection. Each download corresponds to the granting of a Standard License as defined in section 2.
2. GRANT OF RIGHTS. Subject to full payment of the agreed License Fee (per Single Image or Image Pack as applicable), EyeEm grants the Buyer the non-exclusive right to use the acquired Image (as identified on the respective invoice) in accordance with these following uses permitted for the applicable license type (“License”) as follows:
STANDARD LICENSE:
EXTENDED LICENSE:
All rights granted are non-transferable and non-sublicensable with the exception outlined in section 6 (“Agency Clause”).
All uses not expressly defined in the Standard and/or Extended License are reserved to EyeEm (e.g. on-demand print products, art prints, website templates, design templates; exclusive rights). Please reach out to EyeEm at sales@eyeem.com to request a custom license for usage rights which are not covered hereunder.
3. RESTRICTED USE. The Buyer may not:
a) use the Image in any other way or form than expressly set forth in the applicable License (unless a custom license has been acquired);
b) use an Image marked as “For Editorial Use only” for any commercial purposes (including promotion, advertorials, advertising and merchandising). Such images are not model- or property released and intended to be used only in connection with events or topics that are newsworthy or of general public interest and in a manner that does not affect the integrity or original context of the Image; this applies in particular when persons are depicted in the Image;
c) use the Image in an illegal, offensive, defamatory, racist or pornographic manner or in violation of any applicable laws, regulations and industry codes, e.g. for protection or sports content;
d) include the Image, in whole or in part, in a logo, trademark, service mark, corporate ID or other indication of origin; and
e) resell, redistribute, transfer or sublicense the Image to any third party (except for as provided for in section 6 – Agency Clause); and
f) provide third parties with access to the Image (including in form of a standalone digital file);
g) use an Image and any image information (captions, keywords, location tags, and other metadata) for any machine learning or other artificial intelligence purposes; and
h) falsely represent the original copyright owner of the Image.
If you case of sensitive uses of Images that feature models or property in a context which a reasonable person would likely consider as unfavourable, embarrassing or unduly controversial (e.g. sexually transmitted diseases, mental illness, fake stories, dating agencies, political parties, etc.), the Buyer must prominently indicate that the Image is being used only for illustrative purposes and that the depicted person is a model.
4. SINGLE-SEAT AND MULTI-SEAT. If the License is acquired by a natural person, the License is limited to a single-seat use, which means that only the Buyer can use the Image. If the License is acquired by a legal entity such as a company or organization, multi-seat use is included. This means that in a company or organization, multiple persons may use the Image on behalf of this company or organization (and not the company group or parent company), provided that they are contractually bound to comply with these License Terms.
5. CREDITS. The Buyer shall attribute a photo credit to the photographer if such credit is customary in the industry (e.g. print publications) and in case of editorial uses (“Photographer name/EyeEm”). With regard to other commercial uses, the Buyer does not need to include a credit.
6. AGENCY CLAUSE. If the Buyer is an advertising, creative, design, branding or communication agency (“Agency”), who acquires the License on behalf of its customer (“End Client”), the Agency is entitled to assign the licensed rights to such End Client, subject to the conditions outlined below. The same shall apply in the event a Buyer purchases a license on behalf of its employer.
a) the name (legal entity) of the End Client must be communicated to EyeEm;
b) the Buyer shall be prohibited to charge the End Client more than the License Fee paid to EyeEm;
c) the Agency is liable with regard to any breach of these License Terms by the End Client;
d) the Agency may not use the Image for own purposes or for any other customer. The Agency expressly acknowledges and agrees that it must acquire a new license for each additional customer.

Value-added tax or other sales taxes and withholdings will be, if applicable, calculated and listed at checkout based on the Buyer’s country, account type and statutory requirements. The total amount becomes due upon purchase order and is payable via PayPal or credit card, as available. The Buyer is responsible for payment or deduction of any applicable taxes or withholdings associated with the Image. This is a royalty-free license, which means the Buyer pays a one-time License Fee and no further royalties have to be paid, unless the Buyer wants to upgrade the License to another License type (if available).
