Why do I need to purchase/license and image? The images contained in this website are owned by the people who took them. ImagesPhilippines requested their permission to display their works in this website to promote the Philippines and the talent of our local photographers and artists. As such, if you intend to use any image in this collection and make money from it, it is only fair that the photographer who took it gets a commission for your use of his image. Downloading and using the images in this site, as they appear in this site, is permissable as long as the following conditions are met: 1. The image will not be used commercially. 2. The Photographer and ImagesPhilippines must be properly acknowledge as the source of the image. 3. The ImagesPhilippines Watermark is not removed or changed in anyway. If you wish to use an image from this site commercially, or you wish to have a high resolution version of our images, the you will have to purchase/license the image. How do I purchase/license an image? You can purchase/license an image by clicking on the request for quotation button. This button launches the request for quotation form that is discussed in more detail below.
To determine the price you have to pay for use of an image, you must use the Request for Quotation Form. Fill-up the personal information requirements in detail, and make sure your e-mail, address and phone numbers are entered correctly. Below the Personal Information fields there is a
text box that requires you to "Describe in detail how
the image is to be used." This field
is VERY IMPORTANT as it will be used to determine the final pricing
that will be quoted. Please fill out this field as detailed as possible.
Click on the button that most accurately represents what you intend to use the Image for. Note that pricing will vary depending on the image use. The end-user is REQUIRED to submit a copy of the final product that was created using the image to verify correct reporting on image use. Pricing will also vary depending on the organization/person/group purchasing the image. For example, Academic and Government institutions are entitled to significant discounts on licensing. Image licensing in ImagesPhilippines can be exclusive or non-exclusive. Exclusive licensing means that once the image is purchased, it will be removed from the database until such time that the duration of use has expired. The purchaser will have sole rights to the image for the duration defined. No other copy of the image will be distributed. Non-exclusive use means that the image is licensed to the buyer, but the image is still available for licensing by other visitors to the website. Consequently, an image currently licensed out for non-exclusive use cannot be licensed for exclusive use until the duration of use expires. Alternately, we encourage interested parties who wish for exclusive rights to an image to use our Service Bidding feature to bid for photographer services. The purchaser is required to define how long he/she wishes to license out the image. Indefinite use is equivalent to licensing out the image for a period fo twenty (20) years. Note that one year=52 weeks. A holder of an outstanding license over an image has the right of first refusal to renew the usage of the image. NOTE: Duration is defined as how long the purchaser intends to make the image commercially available. For example, if the image is to be used for a billboard the duration is defined as how long the billboard will be up; for a book, the duration is how long the book is intended to be available for sale; for a newspaper, the duration is how many days the newspaper will show the image.
Upon completion of the form, a "ball park" figure will be emailed to you for use of the image. The final value of the image will be determined after evaluation of the "description of use" by our account executives. The final quote cannot be more than 30% lower or higher than the quoted value. If the "ball park" figure is acceptable to you, you are required to reply to the email expressing your interest to purchase the image. Our account executives will then get in touch with you to negotiate the final price for the image. YES. But up to 30% only of the quoted price. Our account executives are more than willing to provide discounted rates, especially for special cases such as if the image will be used for a charitable cause. Final decision on the price of the image lies on the management of ImagesPhilippines. Don't be afraid to haggle, we are very open to negotiation concerning our pricing scheme. Once we receive payment from your purchase we will send the image to you either via e-mail or cd-rom format (through courier). You will have to define the file format (jpg,bmp,tif,etc.), color format (cmyk,rgb,grayscale,etc.), and resolution (300dpi,600dpi,1200dpi,etc.), you wish to receive your image in.
YES. We can have your purchased image printed out and/or framed at your desired size. We can provide the image you bought at any size (wallet size to panaflex sheets for billboards), and at any volume (one image file or a thousand postcards). |
