Pictures
Having spent too long talking to people who
want to use my pictures of Antarctica from this web site for free and fed up
with having people steal them for their own purposes without asking, I've
decided to make things an awful lot simpler.
The rule is simple - if the picture has a
CoolAntarctica.com "watermark" in the bottom left,
it can be used free of charge according to the following criteria:
 | The " watermark" - the CoolAntarctica.com
text at the bottom left
MUST be retained as it is shown, it must remain readable if the
picture is resized. |
|
| Pictures must be accessible by all if they
are published on the web. Use in any paid-for section of a
website is not permitted. CoolAntarctica.com is free for all to
use, I expect that free-use pictures from here will also be free
to access elsewhere. |
|
| If the picture is used on a website, the picture must be DIRECTLY
hyperlinked to http://www.coolantarctica.com
i.e. by html, NOT javascript or Flash. |
|
| If the picture is used in any printed
media, credit must be given in the form
"use of picture courtesy Paul Ward - CoolAntarctica.com" |
|
| No more than 10 pictures from CoolAntarctica may be used in any
context whatsoever without prior consent. |
|
| Pictures may not be hotlinked from this site. Right click over
the picture and select "Save picture as..." to save it on your hard drive
before adding it to a website. This includes discussion forums and bulletin
boards. |
|
| Pictures may not be sold
or otherwise distributed on their own or as a part of a
collection. They may be used in commercial printed
or electronic publications as long as the watermark ) and hyperlink if
applicable) is included as above. They may not be used for decoration of any kind as a part of
any commercial or non-commercial product - t-shirts, mugs etc. |
|
If there is no watermark on the picture FREE USE IS
NOT ALLOWED
- these are copyright protected and unauthorized use will be pursued
through legal channels.
| Watermarked
picture example
This picture may be used free of charge |
Non-watermarked picture example
This picture may NOT be used
without prior written permission -
this will involve crossing my palm with silver |
How can I gain usage outside of the free
terms?
If you would like to purchase pictures for use without the watermark, at
a higher resolution, for use of more than 5 images, or for any other purpose
outside of these free usage guidelines, then please
with your request
quoting the relevant page/s url/s. Please include the following details:
| Size and resolution of the required image, dimensions in inches or cm
and dpi. |
| Placement in the publication or web page. |
| Purpose for using the image. |
| Distribution of the image, quantity and lifespan. |
In most circumstances images from Cool Antarctica will be cheaper than from
other commercial outlets and agencies as our overheads are lower. The pay-off
is that payment/delivery while expedited as soon as possible will not be
instant (48 - 96hrs typically).
