Standard License

LAST UPDATED: September 2023

This is a license agreement between you and Boxist.com (Stock Photography) that outlines the terms governing the use of our stock photos, illustrations, calligraphy, and vector designs that you license and purchase from Boxist.com. By downloading any content from Boxist.com, you are agreeing to the terms presented in this agreement.

Types of Licenses: We don't offer various types of licenses; instead, we have a simplified license model. We provide just one type of license suitable for commercial, educational, and personal use, known as the 'Comprehensive All-Inclusive License'. This license offers each image at a fixed price, and it covers the original high-resolution size of the image.

However, in some special circumstances, we may offer certain images with a 'Standard License,' which comes with slightly different benefits compared to our Comprehensive All-Inclusive License."

Usage Rights Under the Standard License:

Under the Standard License, you are granted specific usage rights, subject to the terms and conditions outlined in this agreement. The rights included in the Standard License are as follows:

  • Perpetual: Your rights to use the licensed photos do not expire or have an end date. This means that you can continue to use the photos indefinitely.
  • Non-Exclusive: The Standard License does not provide exclusive rights to the photos. This means that the same photos may be licensed to other customers, and you do not have exclusive use of them.
  • Limited: The Standard License allows you to use the photos in a limited number of projects and across various media formats. Specifically, you are permitted to reproduce the photos in up to 10,000 copies. It's important to note that for extended usage beyond this limit, you will need to purchase the Comprehensive All-Inclusive License which offers the freedom of an unlimited number of copies.
  • Non-Transferable: The rights granted under the Standard License are non-sublicensable. This means that you cannot transfer or sublicense these rights to any third party, unless you are purchasing images on behalf of your employer or client.
