Note: The Standard Use License does not include rights for editorial, resale, or large-scale publication. For those uses, see the Publication Use License below.


đź“° Publication Use License (Extended / Case-by-Case)

The Publication License covers usage that goes beyond typical marketing — such as editorial, mass distribution, or commercial resale — and is not included with your image purchase.

1) Definition

“Publication Use” refers to any use of images or media in materials or outlets intended for mass distribution or editorial publication, whether in print or digital form. This includes, but is not limited to:

  • Magazines, newspapers, and editorial articles (print or online).
  • Books, eBooks, and printed publications.
  • Billboards, posters, and public advertisements.
  • Television, film, and video productions.
  • Product packaging, branding, or merchandise.
  • Paid or sponsored digital campaigns or resale products.

2) Approval Required

  • All Publication Use requires written approval and a separate signed Publication License Agreement prior to use.
  • Contact hi@jacksonrep.co to request permission and obtain pricing.
  • Each request is reviewed and priced on a case-by-case basis depending on reach and distribution.

3) Exclusivity

  • Publication Licenses are non-exclusive by default.
  • Exclusive rights may be granted on a case-by-case basis and must be stated in writing.
  • If exclusivity is later sold to another licensee, all prior holders retain their existing perpetual usage rights.

4) Attribution

  • All Publication Use must include visible or written credit in one of the following formats:
    • “Photo © [Photographer Name] / ScenicStock”
    • “Image courtesy of ScenicStock.com”
  • Credit should appear in the photo caption, credit page, or acknowledgment section of the publication.

5) Duration

  • Publication Licenses are perpetual for the specific approved use (e.g., one article, ad campaign, or printed edition).
  • Any reuse or redistribution in new editions, platforms, or campaigns requires new written approval.

6) Print Run & Distribution

  • For regional publications or Bend, Oregon–based campaigns, the standard limit is 10,000 physical copies or impressions.
  • Projects exceeding that threshold (e.g., national print runs or digital reach beyond 100,000 impressions) require a revised or extended license.

7) Restrictions

  • Unless specifically authorized in writing, Publication License holders may not:
    • Resell, sublicense, or distribute images for resale in any form.
    • Repurpose images for merchandise or print-on-demand goods.
    • Use images in logos, trademarks, or brand marks.
    • Use images in a way that implies endorsement by the photographer or ScenicStock.
    • Use images in politically or socially sensitive content without disclosure and approval.
    • Use images in AI datasets, machine learning systems, or generate derivative videos/animations.

8) File Delivery

  • Upon approval, ScenicStock may provide high-resolution or print-ready versions of the images if available.
  • We will work with you to ensure all files meet publication and print standards.

9) Agreement Requirement

  • All Publication Licenses require a signed agreement issued by ScenicStock or Jackson Real Estate Photography Co.
  • Standard marketing and business uses do not require a separate contract but do require acknowledgment of these Terms at checkout.

âś… All purchases include the Standard Use License for real estate and business marketing.
đźš« The Publication License is not included and must be requested separately for editorial or mass-distribution use.
