SITE USAGE AGREEMENT
This site is owned and operated by Panos Pictures Ltd (“Panos”). All images and related informational materials in any medium furnished by Panos hereunder, including related text, captions, or information (collectively referred to as “images”) are owned by our image providers (“photographers”) or by Panos.
By using this site and/or downloading any image, you agree to be bound by this agreement.
These terms and conditions of use constitute a legal agreement between you, and if you are using this web site on your employer’s behalf, to you and your employer.

Supply of images from the web site
You may download watermarked, low-resolution images from this website to your computer, or send them by e-mail either to yourself or another party, for use in composites or layouts. You may not use watermarked images in any final materials distributed within your company or outside of your company or to the public or in any online or other electronic distribution system. These are the only permissible reproductions rights granted by Panos to you for our watermarked images. Such uses of watermarked images are free of charge.

License for Use of images
The reproduction by whatever means of the whole or any part of any unwatermarked image from this site is strictly forbidden without our specific written permission. You must inform us of your proposals as to when and how an image is intended to be used.

Your right to reproduce an image arises only if license terms and the fee for reproduction are agreed. Any reproduction before terms and fees are agreed constitutes an infringement of copyright and also a breach of this agreement entitling Panos to rescind and claim damages. You must indemnify Panos in respect of any claims, damages, costs or expenses we incur arising from any reproduction of any image supplied to you.

Upon agreement of the license terms and the Usage Fees, you may utilise the images we license to you on a non-exclusive basis for the specific uses and purposes stated on our Invoice and limited by these Terms and Conditions. You do not acquire any right, title or interest in or to any of our images including, but not limited to, any electronic reproduction or promotional rights, except as specifically set forth in our Invoice/Copyright License and these Terms and Conditions. You agree that you will not make, authorise or permit any use of the particular image(s), plate(s), digital file(s) or other reproduction(s) made from our images except as specified in our Invoice/Copyright License.

Any license granted by Panos shall not constitute a representation that an image is compatible for use with any other material. You are solely responsible for the use of any image in combination with any other material, and you agree not to use images with sensitive topics without Panos’ separate written agreement. Sensitive topics include, without limitation, topics that may depict the subject matter of an Image in a negative or unfavourable light or subject persons to ridicule, and topics regarding all sexual issues, substance abuse, physical or mental abuse, AIDS, cancer, or serious physical or mental ailments, or the disparagement of a person or product. You must contact Panos for additional information prior to any use of an image with any sensitive topic.
