rights and licencing

All images and texts on this website are protected by European, German and international copyright laws. Unless otherwise explicitly stated, the design of this site and all its content are property of Arthur Tiutenko and may not be used or reproduced by anyone without Arthur's permission.

non-commercial use

No extra permission has to be obtained if an image will be used non-commercially. Typical examples of non-commercial publications are scientific articles and reports, educational or public campaign materials, etc. In such and similar cases, the permission is granted automatically but the following restrictions apply:

  • If you use the entire image, you are not allowed to remove (stamp out, crop, etc.) the note on it indicating its origin and the copyright owner:
    www.nature-images.eu © Arthur Tiutenko.
  • In images that will be published digitally it is prohibited to remove or alter any embedded metadata.
  • You are allowed to use parts of an image, i.e. crop the image to other size and shape, cut out areas of it, save it to a new file or convert to a different format, provided that the embedded original metadata indicating the author, copyright information, title, keywords and description remain unchanged.
  • If the text lines indicating the origin (www.nature-image.eu) and the copyright owner (Arthur Tiutenko) will not appear in the part remained after cropping or is absent in the original (as for instance in photos that are displayed in slide shows), this information has to be provided elsewhere in your publication, e.g. in image caption, credits' list, etc.

Please contact Arthur if you use an image non-commercially but the requirements described above can not be met for any reason.

commercial use

For commercial use a written permission from Arthur Tiutenko has always to be obtained. To purchase rights, send an e-mail at Arthur's contact address specifying the ID of the image and the purpose you are going to use it for. Also please specify the file format and image size that you would like to receive. Images can be ordered as TIFF (16 bit, 300 dpi) or JPEG (8 bit, 72 dpi) and in sizes up to 21 Mp. Please note that not all sizes are available for some images. The maximum size in megapixel for an image is indicated in its caption. You may also need to send such a request if you would use an image for non-commercial purposes but the file that you can download directly from this website doesn't meet your requirements. In that case you will receive the requested file free of charge.

** For circulation numbers over 10,000 copies the rates increase by 25%.

*** With exclusive use licence the ownership of all rights for the image is transferred to the buyer. The author obligates himself not to sell the image anymore.

If an image is used in a collage, digital artwork, video footage or other kind of publication that is not listed above, the pricing principles remain the same: A licence is based on the size of the image that the buyer requests, on position of the image in the product and on planned circulation.

A license is always issued for a single use only, i.e. for a single edition and product circulation. The use of the same image in further editions or circulations of the product has to be agreed with Arthur Tiutenko. Additional charge may apply in this case.

Usually the buyer is obligated to mention the origin of the image (Arthur Tiutenko and/or www.nature-images.eu) in caption or credits. If concept, page layout, purpose of the product, or other reasons don't allow this, a permission to omit this information may be obtained.

Once the license was purchased, it may not be resold or otherwise transfered by the buyer to a third party.

discounts

Discounts of 10% or more may be agreed in certain cases.

a note about limited edition prints

Usually any image at this site can be obtained as print, and the number of such prints is unlimited, or better to say — indefinite, because it may be limited upon request of a buyer. For instance, if you would like to purchase a print of which only 5 copies should exist, you pay 4 times the regular price, i.e. 300% more, or € 150 if the price per print is less than € 40. If more copies than 4 but less than 10 have been already sold, you may purchase another copy paying 200% more. The selling further prints will stop after the 10th copy was sold.

If an image is printed in a limited edition, a notice in its caption on this site will indicate the size and the number of prints available for purchase. Buyers who purchased prints of the image can obtain a certificate of authenticity and protection holograms for their copies for the price of €7.

discounts

Orders of more than 5 prints a eligible for a discount of 10%. For prints purchased for display in public places a discount of 10% is offered if the name of the author — Arthur Tiutenko — and the address of this site — www.nature-images.eu — will be printed in a corner of the image and remain visible for viewers when the image will be presented.
