Image Licensing Information

Spike Picture's images are rights protected, not royalty free. This means that we record and can restrict the allowable uses to which the images you have chosen can be put. This affords you the knowledge of exactly what the image has been used for in the past, something which is of great value in most commercial and editorial applications.
  An important point to understand is that a license to use is a grant of reproduction rights and is not a transfer of ownership or copyright. When we license an image to you, it will be for a specific set of uses which will be defined in your printed license to use. You must ensure the image is not used for any other purposes as this contravenes local law and international copyright conventions. As custodians of our artist´s work and our clients trust in us, we vigorously pursue illegal and unauthorised uses.

Spike Pictures also offers the option of exclusivity on its rights usage packages. For an additional fee, we will provide protection against possible conflicts of use within your industry and/or territory. This will ensure no other party could use the image within this rights usage domain. This is often of great value for prominent campaigns or artworks.
