Licensing

Can your images be used in my company brochure/catalog/flyer/website?
Yes!

Can I use your images in my ebook?
Yes!

I am a graphic designer; can I use your images on my client's website?
Yes!

Can I crop or edit your images?
Yes! As long as you do not re-sell or redistribute the image(s) or resulting image(s).

I am making website temples, which will be resold. Can I use your images?
No. Our images are not allowed to be used in "boxed templates". However, if you are hired to make a website for a client, then you may use our images. The important distinction is that "boxed" / pre-made templates are selling the site, whereas an individual job is selling the service.

However, we may be able to broker a deal between you and the photographer such that it is a win-win situation for all parties.  Do contact us if you would like to use our images beyond the basic Photostocked.com CONTENT LICENSE CONTRACT.

Can I resell or redistribute your images?
No. The resale and/or redistribution of our images is strictly prohibited.

I produce T-shirts/Screen savers/Mouse pads for resale. Can I use your images?
No. You may not reproduce our images for the purpose of resale.

Billing

What currency are these prices in?
All of our prices are listed in US currency. Your credit card will be billed in US currency.

I don't live in Singapore - can I still buy a subscription?
Yes, you certainly can. We accept payments from nearly every country in the world. Your credit card will be billed in US dollars, and will then be automatically converted to your own currency.

Subscriptions

Do the subscriptions automatically renew?
No. But you can use the renew button in the Reports section any time after the subscription has expired as long as you have enough in your account balance.

It says I have reached my daily download limit, but I haven't downloaded anything today. Why?
Your download limit is actually based on a 24hour clock, and not calendar days. So let's say your limit is 25 photos a day, and you download 25 photos at 5:00pm today. Your limit would not open up until 5:00pm tomorrow.
