Specially commissioned aerial photos;Customers specially commissioning aerial work will receive a non transferable, non exclusive, royalty free licence as part of the job and usage rights are transferred to the client once the images have been paid for in full. This allows the commissioning customer to reproduce the images in any quantity they wish unlimited by time or geography. With commissioned work only, a credit to webbaviation is not mandatory although it is welcomed where given on a voluntary basis. It should be noted that these image usage rights for commissioned work are non exclusive and does not preclude us from further use and resale of the same or similar images. (It is normal for us to make interesting images available for resale in our gallery) I am very happy to handle confidential work requiring commercial discretion, just tell me what you need at the time of ordering. The licence is non transferable so you cannot transfer reproduction rights to a third party without my written consent. Double licenses are usually provided where I am working for an agent such as a marketing firm or architect who is working for a specific end client, thus giving both the end client and the agent full independent usage rights. Occasionally there may be a special condition / variations to my standard terms (eg a mandatory requirement to be credited as author which is our typical practice for book and magazine commissions) These variations will in all cases be discussed with the client before the assignment is agreed. Licensed stock aerial photos ; Customers Licensing stock images also receive a non transferable royalty free licence and usage rights are transferred to the client once the images have been paid for in full. This allows the licensed customer to reproduce the images in any quantity they wish unlimited by time or geography. My stock photograph usage rights are always non exclusive and I will continue to offer the same image to other customers. For stock images the reproduced aerial photo must have a credit adjacent or within the image containing the word "©webbaviation.co.uk" eg "copyright webbaviation.co.uk" or " ©www.webbaviation.co.uk. If the credit is omitted the price is double the standard price. I can waive this requirement for special circumstances but only if agreed before purchase. Web use is restricted to images up to maximum size 500 pixels only. Larger sizes may be agreeable but you will need to email me and discuss any web use greater than 500 pixels. This is a non transferable licence so you can't give permission for a third party to use the image. If you require an image to be licence in more than one name then please email me.
Online aerial photos in our aerial photo gallery;All aerial photos on the webbaviation website are copyright of Webb Aviation and are protected by copyright law and are not to be saved or copied in any way. All other online work including all code, web pages, forms, menus, buttons, gifs are copyright protected and may not be copied or reproduced without written permission. If you would like to reproduce a stock image you can buy a licence for reproduction, click here for more information on prices Many people are unsure what this copyright notice means so to clarify you are not allowed to do anything with my web images other than view the images within a browser. Anything else is a violation of copyright and is illegal in both national and international law. You cannot save the images (yes I know its easy to do but its illegal and theft just the same as bashing me on the head and running off with my wallet) You cannot print the images . You cannot link the images so they appear on another page (called hot linking- see below ) Some people have said they thought it was Ok because they were only saving it for private use. This is not true either legally or morally (would you be happy if someone stole your car but it was "only for private use") The price for unauthorized reproduction is a minimum of 3 times the standard commissioned price for that location. (see costs page ) Other costs are also likely including administrative and legal costs in collecting the fee and also any criminal penalty imposed by the courts.
Stock image prints; All stock image prints are protected under copyright law and are not to be copied or reproduced in any way. If you would like to reproduce a stock image you can buy a licence for reproduction, click here for more information on pricesWhen you buy a print it is only the print and not a licence to reproduce. These images cost hundreds of pounds for the flight and used thousands of pounds worth of camera equipment, not to mention a fair bit of hard earned experience and some considerable bodily risk. They are sold at a fraction of what they cost for the flight alone. If your friends/ neighbors want a copy of one of our aerial photos they can order more genuine images from us. All unathorised copies whether for your own use or for others are illegal, even a single photocopy or scan. The price for unauthorized reproduction is a minimum of 3 times the standard commissioned price for that location. (see costs page ) Other costs are also likely including administrative and legal costs in collecting the fee and also any criminal penalty imposed by the courts.
Linking and Hot linking If you wish to link to any page of the site we are very happy for you to do so and encourage other website owners to do just that provided it is to the full URL address of any complete page and not directly to an image alone ( a practice known as hot linking ). All hot linking directly to all images and graphic is illegal, and not allowed. For example if you are interested in football and want visitors to your website to view the picture of Manchester Utd then you need to link to the full page thus http://www.webbaviation.co.uk/stadiums/manchester-stadium.htm and not just to the individual image. The reason for this is the gallery is paid for by the small amount of advertising on some pages and sales of prints, if you link to just the image we are not making any money but we are paying for the bandwidth every time the image is viewed. Putting our image on another web page is copyright theft just the same as if it were saved and copied. If you are still unsure as to any aspect of copyright my legal representatives will be only too happy to clarify the matter further. The price for unauthorized reproduction is a minimum of £950.00 plus vat per occurance.Other costs are also likely including administrative and legal costs in collecting the fee and also any criminal penalty imposed by the courts. And finally an apology that the above copyright section is not the friendliest page on the website. This is because I now have many more images stolen than I actually sell and hot linking has become so bad that at one point my ISP shut down my website completely for several days because of it. Most people are familiar with shopkeepers moaning that the kids have stolen a few sweets, well image if the kids had left a few sweets and stolen everything else in the shop, that's the situation that faces online photographers!
