Licence Terms


UPDATED OCTOBER 2025

This is a licence agreement between you and Tender Photos that explains how you can use photos (individually and collectively, “content”) that you license from Tender Photos. By downloading content from Tender Photos, you accept the terms of this agreement.

Description of Terms:
  • “Rights-Managed” licences are limited to the specific use, medium, period of time, print run, placement, size of content and territory selected, and any other restrictions that accompany the content on the Tender Photos website (or Image Store).
  • “Non-exclusive” means that you do not have exclusive rights to use the content. Tender Photos can licence the same image to other clients.
  • “Editorial” use means that the image is mainly intended to be used for news reporting, discussion of current affairs, and illustration of other human interest stories. This covers both print or digital materials, including newspapers, magazines and books (except for covers), editorial broadcasts, documentaries, non-commercial websites, blogs and social media posts illustrating matters of public interest. It excludes book or magazine covers, commercial, promotional, advertorial, endorsement, advertising, or merchandising purposes in any media (e.g. print, commercial broadcast, film, digital).

  1. Grant of Licence: Tender Photos grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use the content for the permitted purposes described in this agreement. This licence is personal to you and may not be assigned or sublicensed to any other person or entity.

You may not use the content for any commercial purposes, such as selling products or services that incorporate the content, without prior written permission from Tender Photos. 
  3. Restrictions: You may not modify, adapt, translate, create derivative works of, or otherwise alter the content in any way. You may not resell, redistribute, or sublicense the content to any third parties. You may not use the content in a way that infringes on the copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property rights of Tender Photos or any third parties.
  4. Copyright and Trademark: The content is owned by the named photographer and is protected by copyright and trademark laws. You may not remove, alter, or obscure any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notices that are part of the content.
