Restrictions on number of downloads

If we see that individuals download a disproportionate number of images, these will be contacted to clarify the need. Please be careful and pay attention to how many photos you download.

Once a user has downloaded an image, this image is available for download for all other users at UiT, without using the quota. The download icon on the image will then be grey, indicating that the image can be downloaded without using the quota.

Commercial vs editorial photos

Kommersielt bruk
Kommersielt bruk

Commercial use

Commercial means that the photographer of the image has written consent (a model release) from all persons / trademarks / logos / companies in the image. This means that the image can be used in a commercial context and in some other contexts. For example in advertising for different products / causes / events.

The image can be used for commercial purposes both printed and digital. The image can be used in e.g. marketing, advertising and sponsorship. The image can be cropped and edited.

Redaksjonelt bruk

Editorial use

Editorial is images for which the photographer does not have written consent (a model release). These pictures can therefore only be used in a news context and in relation to who / what the picture depicts, for example in newspapers.

The image cannot be used for commercial purposes, only for editorial and news purposes of general interest. The image can be cropped, as long as it does not distort the original image. Other changes cannot be made!

Access to these images is therefore limited to editorial users only. Misuse of this may result in legal claims from MostPhotos, photographer and / or pictured person / brand etc.

Contact support@mostphotos.com if you have more questions or need help with this.

How should the photos be accredited?

MostPhotos and the contributor should always be credited when using editorial content. If the use of the content is in a circumstance where hyperlinks are technically possible, you must provide a link to www.mostphotos.com. In other circumstances, you should always give proper credit for the use of content. This should be in the form of "mostphotos.com" or "name of artist / mostphotos.com".

In the event that an image is used in connection with a film, television broadcast, documentary or other audio-video or multimedia project, you shall use reasonable commercial efforts to ensure that MostPhotos and the contributor receive due credit in the form specified above.

Unintentional breach of the provisions mentioned above does not constitute a breach of the legal agreement given that the customer remedies the breach at the request of MostPhotos.

CC BY 4.0 License

Publications that are marked and published with a CC BY 4.0 license may use images from MostPhotos without violating the license agreement that UiT has with MostPhotos.
