Purchase Rights
Exactly what it is that you are purchasing?
You are purchasing the usage of image in specific in media. All imagery created by Altercation Press LLC\Donna Habersaat is protected by US Federal Copyright Law and may not be reproduced in any form without express written permission from the photographer. Specific, non-transferable usage rights may be granted to the original client\purchaser of this imagery. Altercation requires photo-credit (© www.Altercation.net) and requests three copies of all published materials, plus email notification of website or internet posting.
Who owns the "image"?
Copyright Ownership for all imagery is retained by Altercation Press LLC\Donna Habersaat. The rights to use imagery by making reproductions from the original materials (in the form of original prints, digital files, negatives, slides, or transparencies) may be granted to the original client\purchaser through the transfer of usage rights, which become effective upon payment in full of the respective invoice(s). Altercation produces original photographic imagery specifically for its clients. Imagery may be created in the form of color or black & white negatives from which prints are produced, digital images and scans. Customarily, Altercation retains all original negatives and digital files, releasing prints and\or modified digital files to our clients. Arrangements can be made to purchase these originals, and have them released to the original client\purchaser.
Can the image or out-takes be used for stock agencies?
When original imagery is in the form of color slides\transparencies or digital files, only selected original images are released to the client. Slide\transparency out-takes typically are NOT retained permanently in our files. Selected out-take images may eventually be released to our authorized agencies for potential Stock Photography publishing usage. Granting usage rights shall in no way restrict Altercation from releasing all "out-take" and "in-camera similar" images to its authorized agencies, for potential Stock Photography publishing usage.
