What does the meadow photos licence cover? – Curated Meadow Photos
Fifteen dollars per file, worldwide and perpetual, commercial and educational use included. The permitted list and the limits.
Fifteen dollars buys a licence to one photograph. No subscription, no credits, no tiers, and no extended licence held back behind the price.
Permitted
Worldwide, perpetual, non-exclusive, and commercial:
- Packaging, labels and print, at any run.
- Advertising in every medium, with no impression cap or territory limit.
- Books, journals, field guides and editorial layouts.
- Educational material, including textbooks, courses and interpretation boards.
- Websites, apps and interfaces.
- Interior prints, exhibitions and signage.
- Client work, where the delivered piece is covered by your licence.
Editing is unrestricted: crop, grade, retouch, cut out, composite.
Prohibited
- Redistributing the file itself, to anyone, in any form.
- Adding it to another library, marketplace, asset pack, template or theme.
- Print-on-demand where the photograph is the entire product.
- Machine-learning training data.
- Presenting a real, identifiable place or person misleadingly.
Educational use is included, not discounted
Textbooks, museum interpretation, university course material and school resources are all covered by the standard licence at the standard price. There is no separate academic rate, because a separate rate would mean paperwork and the price is already low enough that paperwork would cost more than the licence.
If you are producing a non-commercial conservation or education resource and fifteen dollars a frame is genuinely a barrier, write to us and describe the project. That conversation is worth having.
Why fifteen and not three
Because the identification work is real. Frames here carry species names where they were documented, seasonal context, and location where it can be published safely. That is the labour a general nature library does not do, and it is the reason this catalogue is useful for anything where the plant actually matters.
If the plant does not matter to your project, a general library is cheaper and you should use one.
What you are not buying
Copyright, and exclusivity. Another buyer may licence the same frame. If that is unacceptable, read the exclusivity page before you build around a specific picture.
Term
Perpetual, with no renewal and no account to keep alive. For a field guide or a textbook that stays in print for fifteen years, that matters more than it does for a campaign: the rights do not need revisiting at each reprint, and there is no licence to have quietly lapsed when a second edition is prepared.
The PayPal receipt is the whole record, and it does not expire.
