We also offer exclusive licensing: Exclusivelicensing is cheaper, it allows unlimited use of the image on anymaterial, but property rights, copyrights stay with the original artistwho can at any time, reproduce the image with no limitations on anyproducts. A theme orimage purchased by a webmaster for the sole purpose ofbuilding a client web and transferring the license would fall into thiscategory, therefore allowing the web-designer to use the same image © when creating multiple sets or web-templates.The images may not be manipulated or altered in such a way as to render the image substantially unrecognizable from the original.
