2. Licensing Model – Rights Managed Use
All images and videos on this website are licensed under a Rights Managed (RM) model.
Rights Managed licensing allows Content to be used in a controlled, transparent, and traceable manner, with each licence granted for a clearly defined purpose. This approach helps protect both the Client and the Licensor by avoiding conflicts that can arise from unrestricted or uncontrolled image use, including unintended reuse by competitors or in inappropriate contexts.
Under Rights Managed licensing, the Client licenses specific usage rights, rather than acquiring unlimited or automatic permissions.
3. Types of Licenses
3.1 Available License Types
Karlis Dzjamko offers the following licensing options:
Basic License
Custom License
Private License
3.2 Prohibited Uses (All Licenses)
The Content may not be used for:
Artificial intelligence systems
Machine learning, dataset creation, or model training
Generative AI, NFTs, blockchain assets, or tokenised media
3.3 Basic License (Editorial Use)
The Basic License permits non-exclusive, editorial use of the Content for up to one (1) calendar year, including:
Newspapers, magazines, and news websites
Online platforms, blogs, and social media
Corporate communications (internal newsletters, reports, presentations)
Educational publications (books, textbooks, academic or training materials)
3.4 Custom License (Commercial or Promotional Use)
A Custom License is required for any use outside editorial or educational purposes, including but not limited to:
Advertising and marketing
Promotional or brand campaigns
Commercial websites or products
Custom Licenses are negotiated individually and confirmed in writing.
3.5 Private License
The Private License permits non-exclusive, perpetual private use of the Content, provided that:
The Content is not published or distributed publicly
No direct or indirect revenue is generated from its use
3.6 Additional Restrictions
Certain Content may be subject to additional restrictions stated in captions, invoices, or written agreements.
3.7 Expansion of Rights
Any request to extend or expand licensed usage must be submitted in writing and approved in advance. Additional fees may apply.
4. How Licence Fees Are Determined
Licence fees are calculated based on the intended use of the Content.
As a general guideline:
Editorial and educational use is typically less expensive than commercial or advertising us
Smaller print runs cost less than larger distributions
Single-country usage costs less than multi-territory or worldwide rights
Non-exclusive use costs less than exclusive use
Clients are encouraged to provide accurate and detailed information when requesting a licence to ensure they only pay for the rights they need. Purchasing broad or unlimited rights is often unnecessary and significantly more expensive than licensing Content for a specific project and time period.
