Images, in an unlimited number
of mediums, with unlimited alterations for any promotional and advertising usage you see fit.

your Images, then you may purchase the copyright from us for an additional fee per Image. In the event you purchase the
copyright from us, we retain a perpetual, royalty-free worldwide license to use, display or disseminate the Images. However, if you are concerned about us sharing the Images without your consent, we are more than happy to agree to not share them on our website or with anyone else without your approval.
