CSA Images - Royalty Free

Learn about royalty-free Licensing

What Are Image Licenses?

When you spend money at CSA Images, you are not buying the image outright but rather purchasing a license that grants you specific rights to use the image. Ownership and copyright of all images always reside with CSA Images.

Royalty-free products may be used by you multiple times for multiple projects without incurring additional fees. Royalty-free pricing is based on the file size of the product and the number of people entitled to use it (maximum 10 people who are employees of the company on the date the image is purchased), not the specific use. However, as with all CSA Images licenses, the rights granted are non-transferable and are personal to you. This means that if you license a royalty-free image to be used for a project by your client or any other person, they may not use the licensed image separately from that specific project. Royalty-free licenses are always non-exclusive. All licenses of royalty-free products are subject to CSA Images' End User License Agreement.
