You agree to indemnify Alamy, its subsidiaries, affiliates and licensors against any losses, expenses, costs or damages howsoever incurred by any or all of them as a result of your breach of these Terms or your unauthorised use of the Content.

The Content may only be used commercially once you have entered into a licence agreement and paid the relevant fee. Where Alamy permits you to use Previews, these may only be used for your internal layouts for sample purposes or for proofing presentations to end clients.

Alamy's copyright notice and Content identification reference which appear in the Content file must remain with your digital copy of the Content at all times.

You may use our site only for lawful purposes. You may not use this website:

You also agree:

Alamy will disable and/or remove Content and/or suspend or terminate the accounts of users who upload Content that is (i) illegal content as defined under the UK Online Safety Act 2023 (“OSA”) and EU Digital Services Act (“DSA”) (ii) material that otherwise violates applicable law or (iii) material that does not meet the standards set out in these Terms, our Quality Control Guidelines, the Contributor Contract, or section 11 (Forum) below (together, "Prohibited Content").

Illegal content under the OSA (as referred to above) includes, in particular, content that amounts to terrorism, child sexual exploitation and abuse, assisting suicide, threats to kill, public order offences, harassment, stalking and fear of provocation of violence, sale of drugs and psychoactive substances, firearms and other weapons, assisting illegal immigration, human trafficking, sexual exploitation, sexual images, and offences against animal welfare. Alamy will disable and/or remove any such Content to minimise the length of time for which this type of content is present on it and, when alerted to the presence of such Content, will swiftly take it down. When identified, Content that amounts to terrorism and/or CSEA, Alamy will disable and/or remove it within 24 hours.

Alamy has the right to remove or restrict any such material or to suspend or terminate the associated account if Alamy has reasonable grounds to believe that the Content uploaded amounts to Prohibited Content. Alamy will make any such determination in a diligent, objective, non-discriminatory, and proportionate manner, having regard to the fundamental rights of affected users. More detail on Alamy’s approach to permitted and prohibited material on the website can be found within our Quality Control Guidelines, the Contributor Contract, and section 11 (Forum) below.

Alamy does not review every image submitted by its contributors. Instead, Alamy uses human verification to review a cross section of Content uploaded to the platform, and periodically reviews on sale Content to ensure that uploads comply with the Quality Control Guidelines and the Contributor Contract, and do not contain Prohibited Content. Once Content is uploaded, Alamy carries out periodic checks to monitor if Prohibited Content is present on the service. In carrying out these checks, the content moderation team review the collection for content suspected of being Prohibited Content. If potentially Prohibited Content is identified, human moderators decide whether any such content should be removed or restricted. We are exploring utilisation of AI powered tools to assist in surfacing potentially Prohibited Content for human review and moderation.

Users with access to our Forum are required to adhere to the Forum Guidelines and terms detailed below under section 11 (Forum). Alamy uses human verification to review Forum posts on an ad hoc basis. If Content posted in the Forum is identified or reported to Alamy as containing Prohibited Content, we will review it and where appropriate disable access to or remove the relevant material in accordance with the process described in this clause 5.

You can report Content or complain to Alamy about Content via the Complaints Page. You can make a complaint or report in the following circumstances:

If the reporting tool is misused (for example, by repeated submission of manifestly unfounded complaints), Alamy may restrict or suspend your access to the reporting tool for a reasonable period. We will, however, provide you with a written warning prior to suspending your access. Alamy’s written warning shall set out the reasons for your suspension, as well as information on how the suspension decision may be appealed. In deciding whether you have misused the Complaints Page reporting tool, Alamy will consider (inter alia) the total number of manifestly unfounded notices you submitted, their relative proportion compared with your total submissions and, where identifiable, your intent.

Alongside handling user complaints via the Complaints Page, Alamy uses human review to verify a portion of Content at the point of upload and conducts periodic reviews of Content on sale to identify and remove Prohibited Content. These measures are designed to support effective enforcement of Alamy policies while respecting users’ fundamental rights.

If a user misuses the platform by repeatedly uploading Prohibited Content, Alamy may, after issuing a warning and following an assessment of the nature, severity, and frequency of the misuse, suspend or terminate the relevant account in accordance with our Content Strike Policy below. In such cases, the affected user will be notified without undue delay, provided with a clear statement of reasons, and informed of the available appeal and redress mechanisms, as described in this section 5 and section 13 below.

Content Strike Policy

Alamy has a policy of suspending or terminating the accounts of repeat infringers. When it is determined that a contributor has uploaded Prohibited Content this constitutes a “Content Strike”.

As a rule, and subject to the assessment described below, Alamy may suspend or terminate contributor accounts that receive three (3) Content Strikes within a twelve (12) month period. Multiple notices or complaints relating to substantially similar material that is received within a short period of time may, following review, be grouped together as a single Content Strike. In applying the Content Strike policy, Alamy takes into account all relevant facts and circumstances, including the number of instances of content that is reasonably believed to be illegal within a given period, the proportion of illegal content relative to the contributor’s overall activity, the severity and impact of the material, and the apparent intention of the contributor.

Alamy may remove a Content Strike where (among other things) (1) the underlying material is ultimately restored due to the submission of a counter-notification that is not answered by the copyright holder (2) the dispute leads to legal proceedings that result in a court finding that the contributor has not infringed the owner’s copyright or (3) the claimant withdraws the original Content notice/complaint.

Alamy may at its sole discretion terminate contributor accounts that receive fewer than three (3) Content Strikes in appropriate circumstances, such as where the user has a history of repeated violations or wilful disregard for Alamy’s Contributor Contract. Alamy also reserves its right to suspend or terminate a contributor account, with immediate effect, after a single Content Strike where the breach is particularly serious, poses a significant or immediate risk of harm to other users, or is otherwise incompatible with continued access to Alamy. Such violations include, without limitation, the posting, sharing or facilitation of Prohibited Content that amounts to any of the priority illegal content categories as defined under the OSA.

Before suspending or terminating an account under this Content Strike policy, Alamy will (except where the content is particularly serious in nature) issue a written warning to the affected contributor. The warning will set out the reasons for the possible suspension or termination and provide information on the possibility of redress against the decision.

Where Alamy restricts, suspends, or terminates a contributor account under this Content Strike policy, the affected contributor will be notified without undue delay, provided with a statement of reasons for the decision, and informed of the available redress mechanisms as set out in this section 5 and section 13 below.

In certain circumstances, this notice may be withheld, delayed or limited, including where providing a notice would:

Where Alamy identifies Content that it is legally required to report, we will report such Content and any relevant associated information to the appropriate national law enforcement or regulatory authorities, without providing notice to the user concerned.

You can make a complaint to Alamy by contacting legal@alamy.com in the following circumstances:

Prohibited Content includes material that infringes copyright or otherwise violates the intellectual property rights of Alamy or any third party. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA"), DSA and other applicable law, Alamy has adopted a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances based on an assessment of all relevant facts and circumstances, , account holders who infringe the intellectual property rights of Alamy or any third party.

Notification

If you believe that any material on the Alamy website infringes upon any copyright that you own or control, you may file a notification of such infringement (“DMCA Notice”) by reporting via our legal Complaints Page or with our designated agent as set forth below:

Notification must include the following information:

Before you file your DMCA Notice, please carefully consider whether or not the use of the copyrighted material at issue is protected by the Fair Use doctrine. If you knowingly file a DMCA Notice when there is no infringing use, you could be liable for costs and lawyers’ fees. If you are unsure whether someone’s use of your copyrighted material amounts to infringement, please contact a lawyer.

You might also want to consult publicly available reference materials such as those found at the U.S. Copyright Office website.

Counter Notification

If you are an Alamy contributor who wishes to challenge the removal of materials caused by a DMCA Notice, you must file a counter-notification containing the following:

You may submit this counter-notice/appeal to our designated agent as set forth below:

Alamy will forward any complete counter-notification to the person who filed the original DMCA Notice. The copyright owner(s) may choose to initiate legal proceedings against you for copyright infringement. If we do not receive notice that such legal proceedings have been filed within ten (10) business days after we provide notice of your counter-notification, we may restore the challenged materials. Until that time, your materials will remain removed.

Before you file your DMCA counter-notice, please carefully consider whether or not your use of the material at issue is infringing. If you knowingly file a DMCA counter-notice when your use is infringing, you could be liable for costs and lawyers’ fees. If you are unsure whether your use of the content at issue amounts to infringement, please contact an attorney. You might also want to consult publicly available reference materials such as those found at the U.S. Copyright Office website.

Accordingly, Alamy disclaims any liability for inaccurate, misleading, defamatory, insulting, offensive, infringing or unlawful content created as a result of or arising out of such translation process. If you have a complaint about inaccurate, misleading, defamatory, insulting, offensive, infringing or unlawful content please send a specific and detailed notice via our legal Complaints Page.

Further information about our appeals process is available on request by emailing legal@alamy.com.

Where you have submitted a complaint or appeal under clause 5 or 13 of these Terms and the matter has not been resolved through Alamy’s internal processes, you may choose to refer the dispute to an EU-certified out-of-court dispute settlement body. This applies to complaints or appeals made under the DSA. If the issue at hand has already been resolved, Alamy can refuse to engage with the dispute settlement body.
