Credit Attributions and Copyright Notices

  1. If any Licensed Material is Reproduced in an editorial manner in digital or printed form, or used in connection with a book, e-book, or magazine, Licensor’s name or credit information, set forth on the Invoice, must appear adjacent to the Licensed Material in the credit line accompanying the Licensed Material. Credit should be printed as follows: © Artist name / Jamie Piper.
  2. If Licensee uses Licensed Material in connection with a film, television broadcast, documentary or other video or multimedia presentation, Licensee agrees to use reasonable commercial efforts to accord the copyright holder and Licensor a credit as provided above if any other provider of images or footage is accorded credit in such work.

Payments, Invoices, Interest and Refunds

  1. Licensee’s rights to use the Licensed Material are conditioned upon making timely payment to Licensor for all amounts due to Licensor. If Licensor agrees to allow Licensee to make payment(s) via net-15 or net-30 Invoice, and Licensee fails to make a payment to Licensor by the due date, if a check is dishonored, or if a credit card charge is refused or charged back, Licensee’s account will be considered delinquent. Licensor reserves the right, at its discretion, to place a hold on any delinquent account and prevent future purchases from that account until payment has been made in full.
  2. If Licensee’s account becomes delinquent, Licensee’s right to use any Licensed Material downloaded but not paid for will terminate unless all payments together with any interest accrued, and all costs incurred by Licensor to obtain payment from Licensee, are received by Licensor no later than fifteen (15) days from the date that Licensor sends Licensee notice that Licensee’s account has become delinquent.
  3. If Licensee fails to pay Licensor’s Invoice in full by the due date specified on the Invoice, Licensor may add a service charge of two percent (2%) per month, plus a $25 monthly service fee, or such lesser amount as is allowed by law, on any unpaid balance until payment is received. The License to use the Licensed Materials comes into effect when the full balance of any and all Invoices has been paid. No use may be made of the Licensed Materials before full payment of the Invoice without Licensor’s express written permission.
  4. Because of the immediate download nature of Licensed Materials, after Licensee has downloaded Licensed Materials, Licensor is under no obligation to refund payment for any reason. Licensee understands that all sales are final.
  5. For monthly subscription products, Licensee is charged a renewal fee on the 1st of every month until such time that they cancel the subscription from their account. In the event that payment is not successful, the subscription product for that month will be withheld until successful payment has been made. Licensee has the right to cancel the subscription at any time without penalty. Licensee is not due any refunds, either in full or prorated, for any subscriptions cancelled after the 1st of the month.
