Restrictions

© Timothy Armes / Alamy

Some of our Rights Managed images are subject to restrictions - an industry standard means of stopping the use of an image when:

• the image is being used, or has been used, exclusively elsewhere, OR
• the contributor does not want to sell the image in a particular territory or market for practical or moral reasons.

All restrictions are clearly marked in the image details. The price calculator will not allow you to price an image for a restricted use. Occasionally, we are able to clear restrictions by liaising with the contributor. Please contact our sales team for assistance if you would like to check if this is possible.
