1. Ownership of Images

Purchasing an image grants you a licence to use that image under the terms set out below — it does not transfer ownership, copyright, or any other intellectual property rights.

No image may be reproduced, distributed, published, or used in any form without prior purchase and written agreement from Ed Curthoys Photography.

•       Sharing, forwarding, or publishing any image on social media or other platforms

•       Cropping, editing, or removing watermarks from any displayed image

•       Using any image for personal, commercial, or promotional purposes

Watermarks are applied to all proofing images as a deterrent to unauthorised use. Removal or circumvention of watermarks is a breach of these terms and may constitute an infringement of copyright under the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988.

Ed Curthoys Photography is not responsible for any loss resulting from the expiry or removal of a gallery. Clients are advised to complete their selections and purchases promptly.

•       Issuing a formal takedown notice

•       Invoicing for retrospective commercial licensing at full market rate
