🔐 Digital Image Download

A Personal Use Licence grants the right to use the selected digital image(s) for private, non-commercial purposes. This is not a transfer of copyright ownership, but permission to use the image(s) under specific conditions.

This licence covers anything a private individual may do with the image(s), such as:

• Sharing on their own social media accounts

• Sending privately to family or friends

• Use on a personal blog, website or charity fundraising page

• Printing for personal display or gifts.

One Licence = One Individual

Licensed images may not be passed on to third parties for use or publication, even for personal use. In cases where an image includes more than one person (e.g. both athletes in a match), each individual featured must obtain their own licence in order to share or use the image.

– I previously encountered situations where an athlete shared licensed images with their opponent who then used it without obtaining a licence. I have to protect the value of my work and ensure fairness. Even if done with good intentions, this affects the sustainability of my practice and is not permitted.

Coach, Team, or Affiliation

Remi White Photography extends the Personal Use Licence, as a courtesy, to the individual’s coach, team, or affiliation, enabling them to share the image(s) on their official social media or website.

– We rise by lifting each other up! I’m deeply grateful to the athletes, coaches, and families I’ve met across Scotland at competitions, open mats, and beyond for the continued support and kindness. Proper credit to @remiwhitephotography or remiwhite.com is always appreciated.

Please note that a Commercial License is required for everything else that is not covered here. For commercial, brand, sponsor, or promotional use: please get in touch!

Commercial License is required for everything else that is not covered by a Personal Use Licence.

This includes (as examples) and is not limited to:
Sponsors, Brands, Merchandise Sales, Newspapers (local, regional, national), Magazines, Journalist Articles, Consumer Blogs, Magazine Websites, Publishers Websites, Advertisers, PR Companies, Business Social Media Pages.

A Commercial License fee is due by the Commercial End User irrespective of who passed the image. In all cases, use of an image before it is licensed will result in unlicensed usage fees being applied. It is always cheaper and nicer to contact me and license the use of an image before it is used commercially.

If in doubt: get in touch!
