Good to know

your questions.

Is a reference to the source sufficient to use a photo?

A reference to the source does not in itself replace a required right of use. Which use is permitted depends on agreements and possible legal permits.

Can you revise my contract templates?

Yes To do this, describe typical orders, customers and the desired usage models. From this, we develop the agreed scope of audit or design.
