Image Licensing and Usage Agreements
The following wordings will form the basis for agreements with Vyse Photography (Steve Vyse) to use images in various ways. No matter how you intend to use my images you must in each and every case seek written permission and pay the requisite fee (if any) for such use.
I am an easy going character, but the discovery of un-licenced usage of works made by Vyse Photography or Steve Vyse individually will tick me off hugely and result in the invoicing of a minimum £1000.00 per breach which is payable within 7 days and offending image(s) removed from any instances of use immediately. Failure to pay and adhere to requests will result in legal proceedings being started.
Don't pinch my photos even if you just want to use them on social media!
In the following wordings the word 'Owner' is me, Steve Vyse trading as Vyse Photography and the 'Work' refers to any image, graphic or video belonging to the Owner.
