How usage works.

Releases

Every person or private property visible in a licensed image is covered by a signed release on file. Releases are available on request for legal review.

Editorial use

News, commentary and educational use of unreleased images is permitted without a purchased license, with credit to Image-Etc.

Restrictions

Licensed images may not be used to train machine-learning models, resold as stock elsewhere, or used in defamatory or misleading contexts.
