General information about image sales and usage rights
Last update: 1. august 2024
Photographers very rarely sell the right to an image, but a right of use or license. The right of use can be very limited or cover use in several contexts. This is something that is agreed when images are sold, and the price will reflect how extensively the image will be used. As well as whether there will be a need for exclusivity.
Through Roksvåg Media, the following is assumed:
Crediting: Images must be credited upon publication.
Payment: The agreed fee must be paid in order for the right of use or license to apply.
Usage agreement: Images are not to be published or redistributed beyond the current agreement.
Delivery: The image files should be delivered from the photographer.
It is not permitted to scan, photograph, take screenshots or in any other way reproduce Roksvåg Media's images for any purpose. This will degrade the quality and be a violation of copyright. It is also not permitted to reuse Roksvåg Media's images taken from open websites. As mentioned in the last point above, images must be delivered directly from the photographer to the customer. This also applies to use on social media.
Use of images on social media
If you would like to use images from this website for social media such as Facebook, Instagram or purchase an image physically, please contact Bjørn-Christian Roksvåg directly via contact form, email or on Instagram.
Image credit
When it comes to image credit, it is not only good practice to credit the author of the photographs. This is also a prerequisite for obtaining permission to use Roksvåg Media's images.
It is assumed that images are credited legibly with "Photo: Bjørn-Christian Roksvåg" when published. In addition, my user must be tagged in both image and text when used on social media.
How to credit can vary from situation to situation. The main rule is that the credit should be on or near the image. If you are unsure, please contact Bjørn-Christian Roksvåg via the contact form, email or Instagram.
Violation of copyright
Any use of images from Roksvåg Media without prior agreement or proper credit will be considered a copyright infringement. This includes, but is not limited to:
Scanning, photographing, screenshots, or any other form of reproduction.
Use of images from websites without authorization.
In the event of copyright infringement, an invoice will be issued equivalent to the licensing fee for unauthorized use, along with any additional costs. Please get in touch directly to ensure that all use of images is in accordance with an agreement.
