20-003.00 Getty Images: iStock Website Photo Plan ISTOCK CONTENT LICENSE
AGREEMENT
LAST UPDATED: June 2017
This is a license agreement between you and iStock that explains how you
can use photos, illustrations, vectors and video clips that you license from
iStock. By downloading content from iStock, you accept the terms of this
agreement.
1. What types.of licenses does iStock offer?
iStock offers two types of licenses: standard and extended. Every file downloaded
from iStock comes with a standard license. An extended license gives you additional
rights in exchange for an additional license fee. Unless you purchase an extended
license, your use of content is subject to the standard license terms.
You can license files from iStock with credits or a subscription. iStock offers you the
ability to purchase credits in preset packs to be used to download photo, illustration,
vector and video files. The more credits you purchase, the more you save. iStock
also offers monthly or annual subscriptions, which allow you to download a certain
number of photos, illustrations or vectors per month and save even more.
You are welcome to use watermarked content from the iStock site on a
complimentary basis for test or sample (comp) use only. Watermarked content
cannot be used in any final materials or any publicly available materials and may only
be used for the 30 days following download.
2. How can I use licensed content?
You may use content in any way that is not restricted (see Restricted Uses below).
Subject to those restrictions and the rest of the terms of this agreement, the rights
granted to you by iStock are:
• Perpetual, meaning there is no expiration or end date on your rights to
use the content. The only exception to perpetual rights is for content downloaded
on a subscription and not used within 30 days after the end of your subscription.
Please see Section 8 for more information.
• Non-exclusive, meaning that you do not have exclusive rights to use the
content. iStock can license the same content to other customers.
• Unlimited, meaning you can use the content in an unlimited number of
projects and in any media.
For purposes of this agreement, "use" means to copy, reproduce, modify, edit,
synchronize, perform, display, broadcast, publish, or otherwise make use of.
Examples of how you can use licensed content include: websites; blog posts;
social media; advertisements; marketing campaigns; corporate presentations;
newspapers; magazines; books; film and television productions; web and mobile
applications; product packaging.
Please make sure you read the Restricted Uses section below for exceptions.
3. Restricted Uses.
No Unlawful Use. You may not use content in a pornographic,
defamatory or other unlawful manner.
a. No Commercial Use of"Editorial Use Only" Content. You may not use
content marked "editorial use only" for any commercial, promotional, advertorial,
endorsement, advertising or merchandising purpose. This type of content is not
model or property released and is intended to be used only in connection with
events that are newsworthy or of general interest (for example, in a blog, textbook,
newspaper or magazine article).
b. No Standalone File Use. You may not use content in any way that allows
others to download, extract, or redistribute content as a standalone file (meaning
just the content file itself, separate from the project or end use).
c. No Use in Trademark or Logo. You may not use content as part of a
trademark, design mark, tradename, business name, service mark, or logo.
d. No Subscription Abuse. You may not stockpile, download or otherwise
store content not used in a project or end use within 30 days after the end of your
subscription for future use.
e. Sensitive Use Disclaimer Required. If you use content that features
models or property in connection with a subject that would be unflattering or unduly
controversial to a reasonable person (for example, sexually transmitted diseases),
you must indicate: (1) that the content is being used for illustrative purposes only,
and (2) any person depicted in the content is a model. For example, you could say:
"Stock photo. Posed by model." No disclaimer is required for "editorial use only"
content that is used in an editorial manner.
f. No False Representation of Authorship. You may not falsely represent
that you are the original creator of a work that is made up largely of licensed
content. For instance, you cannot create a painting based solely on licensed
content and claim that you are the author.
,Restricted Uses - unless extended license purchased. Extended licenses are
only available for purchase with credits on a file by file basis.* _
g. No Products for Resale. Unless you purchase an extended license, you
may not use content in connection with any goods or services intended for resale
or distribution where the primary value lies in the content itself including, without
limitation, cards, stationery items, paper products, calendars, apparel items,
posters (printed on paper, canvas, or any other media), DVDs, mobile applications
or other items for resale, license or other distribution for profit. This includes "on
demand" products (meaning products in which content is selected by a third party
for customization on such product on a made-to-order basis), including, without
limitation, postcards, mugs, t-shirts, posters and other items (this includes the sale
of products through custom designed websites, as well as sites such as
zazzle.com and cafepress.com)
h. No Electronic Templates. Unless you purchase an extended license, you
may not use content in electronic or digital templates intended for resale or other
distribution (for example, website templates, business card templates, electronic
greeting card templates, brochure design templates). __

4. Who, besides me, can use the licensed content?
The rights granted to you are non-transferable and non-sublicensable, meaning
that you cannot transfer or sublicense them to anyone else. There are two
exceptions:
• Employer or client. If you are purchasing on behalf of your employer or
client, then your employer or client can use the content. In that case, you represent
and warrant that you have full legal authority to bind your employer or client to the
terms of this agreement. If you do not have that authority, then your employer or
client may not use the content.
• Subcontractors. You may allow subcontractors (for example, your printer
or mailing house) or distributors to use content in any production or distribution
process related to your final project or end use. These subcontractors and
distributors may not use the content for any other purpose.
Please note that seat/user restrictions apply. You may only use the content with
appropriate amount of users, as explained in Section 5 below.
5. Are there any seat/user license restrictions?
Yes. The standard license or subscription is for a single user. The seat/user
restrictions refer to the raw file of content, not the end project or use.
If you licensed the content with credits, this means that you may share content
within your organization but the content may only be available to one person at any
one time. Unless you purchase an extended license, you may not store the content
on a server (giving more than one person simultaneous access to the content).
If you licensed the content with a subscription, this means that only one person
(the same person) may access, license and use the content.
If you need more than a single user to access the content:
• If you licensed the content with credits, you must purchase a multi-seat
extended license with credits
• If you licensed the content with a subscription, please contact iStock to
discuss TeamShare, our multi-user subscription. If you purchase a multi-user
subscription, iStock will provide you with the number of user accounts specified on
your invoice.

immediately of any unauthorized use or other breach of security; and (3) accept all
responsibility for activity that occurs under each user account. iStock reserves the

this agreement. If iStock determines that you are in breach of this or any other term of
this agreement, it may suspend access to your account and seek further legal
remedies.

content. All rights not expressly granted in this agreement are reserved by iStock
and the content suppliers.

Termination.
Except in the case of subscriptions, this agreement is effective until it is terminated
by either party. You can terminate this agreement by ceasing use of the content
and deleting or destroying any copies. iStock may terminate this agreement at any
time if you fail to comply with any of the terms, in which case you must
immediately: cease using the content; delete or destroy any copies; and, if
requested, confirm to iStock in writing that you have complied with these
requirements.
• Subscription Termination. Unless renewed, subscription
agreements terminate automatically at the end of the subscription period, with a
30 day grace period to use any content downloaded during the subscription term
in a project or other end use. Content incorporated into projects or end uses
prior to the expiration of the grace period may continue to be used in perpetuity
in that project and in any other projects. Any content not included in a project at
the end of the 30 day grace period is not considered licensed and must be
deleted. Any content that is used within the 30 day grace period remains subject
to the terms of this agreement. iStock may terminate any licenses before the
end of the subscription period if it reasonably believes there is a violation of this
agreement and/or abuse of the subscription account, in which case you must
immediately: cease using the content; delete or destroy any copies; confirm to
iStock in writing that you have complied with these requirements; and pay iStock
any amounts which remain owing to the end of the term of your subscription as
set on your invoice.

is contrary to this agreement, this agreement shall immediately terminate.

• Credit Pack Refunds - Refunds for credit pack purchases can be
made within 14 days of your invoice date, provided that you have not used
any credits from the pack.

within 14 days of your invoice date, provided you have not downloaded more
than 5 images and have not made use of any downloaded content.
• File Download Refunds - iStock does not offer refunds or re-
credits for downloaded files. File returns will only be considered based on
technical issues with the file at the sole discretion of iStock.
All requests for refunds/cancellations must be made in writing. If the request is
approved, iStock will issue a credit to your account or credit card. In the event of
cancellation, your rights to use the content terminate, and you must delete or
destroy any copies of the content.
b. Content Withdrawal.
iStock may discontinue licensing any item of content at any time in its sole
discretion. Upon notice from iStock, or upon your knowledge, that any content may
be subject to a claim of infringement of a third party's right for which iStock may be
liable, iStock may require you to immediately, and at your own expense: cease
using the content, delete or destroy any copies; and ensure that your clients,
distributors and/or employer do likewise. iStock will provide you with replacement
content (determined by iStock in its reasonable commercial judgment) free of
charge, subject to the other terms of this agreement.
9. Representations and Warranties.
iStock makes the following representations and warranties:
Warranty of Non-Infringement. Except with respect to content identified
as "editorial use only," your use of the content in accordance with this agreement
and in the form delivered by iStock will not infringe on any copyright, moral right,
trademark or other intellectual property right and will not violate any right of privacy
or right of publicity; and all necessary model and/or property releases for use of the
content in the manner authorized by this agreement have been obtained. Note that
you are solely responsible for any edits made to the content (whether using an
iStock editing tool or otherwise).
a. "Editorial Use Only" Warranty Disclaimer. For content identified as
"editorial use only," iStock warrants that the content will not infringe on any
copyright or moral right of the artist, but it does not grant any right or make any
warranty with regard to the use of names, people, trademarks, trade dress, logos,
registered, unregistered or copyrighted designs, works of art or architecture
depicted or contained in the content. In such cases, you are solely responsible for
determining whether release(s) is/are required in connection with your proposed
use of the content identified as "editorial use only," and you are solely responsible
for obtaining such release(s). You acknowledge that no releases are generally
obtained for content identified as "editorial use only," and that some jurisdictions
provide legal protection against a person's image, likeness or property being used
for commercial purposes when they have not provided a release.
b. Caption/Metadata Disclaimer. While we have made reasonable efforts to
correctly categorize, keyword, caption and title the content, iStock does not warrant
the accuracy of such information, or of any metadata provided with the content.
c. No Other Warranties. Except as provided in the "warranty of non-
infringement" section above, the content is provided "as is" without representation,
warranty or condition of any kind, either express or implied, including, but not
• limited to, implied representations, warranties or conditions of merchantability, or
fitness for a particular purpose. iStock does not represent or warrant that the
content will meet your requirements or that its use will be uninterrupted or error
free.
10. Indemnification/Limitation of Liability.
Indemnification of iStock by you. You agree to defend, indemnify and
hold harmless iStock and its parent, subsidiaries, affiliates, and content suppliers,
and each of their respective officers, directors and employees from all damages,
liabilities and expenses (including reasonable outside legal fees) arising out of or in
connection with any breach or alleged breach by you (or anyone acting on your
behalf) of any of the terms of this agreement.
a. Indemnification of you by iStock. Provided that the content is only used
in accordance with this agreement and you are not otherwise in breach of this
agreement, and as your sole and exclusive remedy for any breach of the
warranties set forth in Section 9(a) above, iStock agrees, subject to the terms of
this Section 10, to defend, indemnify and hold harmless you, your corporate
parent, subsidiaries and affiliates, and each of your respective officers, directors
and employees from all damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable
outside legal fees) arising out of or in connection with any breach or alleged breach
by iStock of its warranty in Section 9(a) above. This indemnification does not apply
to the extent any damages, costs or losses arise out of or are a result of
modifications made by you to the content or the context in which the content is
used by you. This indemnification also does not apply to your continued use of
content following notice from iStock, or upon your knowledge, that the content is
subject to a claim of infringement of a third party's right.
Extended Legal Guarantee. Unless you purchase an extended
license, iStock's total maximum aggregate liability (meaning the total amount
iStock is responsible for, whether under this agreement or any other agreement
for the same content) is limited to $10,000 US dollars per item of content. This
limit applies regardless of the number of times you license the same piece of
content from iStock. Under an extended license, this amount is increased to
$250,000 US dollars per item of content. If you need a higher indemnification
amount, please contact iStock.
'Standard License Extended License

o The party seeking indemnification must promptly notify in writing the other
party about the claim. The indemnifying party (the one covering the costs) has the
right to assume the handling, settlement or defense of any claim or litigation, in
which case the indemnified party (the one not covering the costs) has to cooperate
in any way reasonably requested by the indemnifying party. The indemnifying party
will not be liable for legal fees and other costs incurred prior to the other party
giving notice of the claim for which indemnity is sought.
o Limitation of Liability. ISTOCK WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU OR
ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY FOR ANY PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, INDIRECT,

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT PERMIT THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION
OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR LIABILITY.
11 . General Provisions.
a. Assignment. This agreement is personal to you and is not assignable by
you without iStock's prior written consent. iStock may assign this agreement,
without notice or consent, to any corporate affiliate or to any successor in interest,
provided that such entity agrees to be bound by these terms.
b. Audit/Certificate of Compliance. Upon reasonable notice, you agree to
provide to iStock sample copies of projects or end uses that contain licensed
content, including by providing iStock with free of charge access to any pay-walled
or otherwise restricted access website or platform where content is reproduced. In
addition, upon reasonable notice, iStock may, at its discretion, either through its
own employees or through a third party, audit your records directly related to this
agreement and your use of licensed content in order to verify compliance with the
terms of this agreement. If any audit reveals an underpayment by you to iStock of
five percent (5%) or more of the amount you should have paid, then in addition to
paying iStock the amount of the underpayment, you also agree to reimburse iStock
for the costs of conducting the audit. Where iStock reasonably believes that
content is being used outside of the scope of the license granted under this
agreement, you agree, at iStock's request, to provide a certificate of compliance
signed by an officer of your company, in a form to be approved by iStock.
c. Electronic storage. You agree to retain the copyright symbol, the name
of iStock, the content's identification number and any other information that may be
embedded in the electronic file containing the original content, and to maintain
appropriate security to protect the content from unauthorized use by third parties.
You may make one (1) copy of the content for back-up purposes.
d. Governing Law/Arbitration. This agreement will be governed by the laws
of the State of New York, U.S.A., without reference to its laws relating to conflicts
of law. Any disputes arising from or related to this agreement shall be finally settled
by binding, confidential arbitration by a single arbitrator selected using the rules
and procedures for arbitrator selection under the JAMS' Expedited Procedures in
its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures ("JAMS") if you are in North
America, or of the International Centre for Dispute Resolution ("ICDR") or JAMS if
you are outside of North America (the applicable rules to be at your discretion), in
effect on the date of the commencement of arbitration to be held in one of the
following jurisdictions (whichever is closest to you): New York, New York; London,
England; Paris, France; Munich, Germany; Madrid, Spain; Milan, Italy; Sydney,
Australia; Tokyo, Japan; or Singapore. The arbitration proceedings shall be
conducted in English and all documentation shall be presented and filed in English.
The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on the parties, and
judgment may be entered on the arbitration award and enforced by any court of
competent jurisdiction. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the •
International Sale of Goods does not govern this agreement. The prevailing party
shall be entitled to recover its reasonable legal costs relating to that aspect of its
claim or defense on which it prevails, and any opposing costs awards shall be
offset. Notwithstanding the foregoing, iStock shall have the right to commence and
prosecute any legal or equitable action or proceeding before any court of
competent jurisdiction to obtain injunctive or other relief against you in the event
that, in the opinion of iStock, such action is necessary or desirable to protect its
intellectual property rights. The parties agree that, notwithstanding any otherwise
applicable statute(s) of limitation, any arbitration proceeding shall be commenced
within two years of the acts, events or occurrences giving rise to the claim.
e. Severability. If one or more of the provisions in this agreement is found to
be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and
enforceability of the remaining provisions should not be affected. Such provisions
should be revised only to the extent necessary to make them enforceable.
f. Waiver. No action of either party, other than express written waiver, may
be construed as a waiver of any provision of this agreement.
g. Entire Agreement. No terms of conditions of this agreement may be
added or deleted unless made in writing and accepted in writing by both parties, or
issued electronically by iStock and accepted in writing by you. In the event of any
inconsistency between the terms of this agreement and the terms contained on
any purchase order sent by you, the terms of this agreement will apply.

use taxes, value added taxes and duties imposed by any jurisdiction as a result of
the license granted to you, or of your use of the licensed content.

the time specified, iStock may add a service charge of 1.5% per month, or such
lesser amount as is allowed by law, on any unpaid balance until payment is
received. -
k. Fees and Renewal. If your subscription is set to AUTOMATICALLY
