Copyright Notice

For your protection and ours: Please place a copyright notice somewhere on the page (printed piece, screen, or Web page) that includes our image, so that others will know it is a licensed and protected image. Why? A copyright notice is to let others know that you plan to protect your product (which may include your design, written text, graphics, and our images) from unauthorized copying and use by others. Without this notice, your design and our images stand the chance of falling into the public domain (especially when published on the Internet)!

How to do it: When you license an image from us, this gives you the right to display a copyright in your own name. Proper copyright notices must include the copyright symbol or word, your name or company name, and year your product was published. Editorial use of our images in magazines, newspapers and books requires a credit line or copyright notice in the name of the photographer (located on our online low-resolution images).

To receive the full protection of the Copyright Act, you may wish to register your copyright with the Canadian Copyright Office. Please note that a license from us does not allow you to license and resell our images to others.
