Terms and Conditions

I offer two facilities for potential buyers:
- order print;
- license image through digital downloads

Prints

To order prints select image (-es) you are interested in and push Quick Order or Order button in the top right corner of the screen and then proceed with choice of print size and other options. Please note that print sizes may differ from image to image to better fit an image actual proportions and composition. You can also contact me if you need a larger print size and I will do my best to meet your requirements at reasonable price. You can view a description of print packages pushing Details button. After you made your selection proceed with checkout. I will fulfill you order and ship prints to the address you specified within 48 to 72 hours after the payment is cleared by the bank / payment system.

Licensing images through Digital downloads

Digital download options are available the same way as the print packages, i.e. through selecting images and pressing Quick Order or Order button (press Digital button to view digital downloads options instead of print packages).
1. Photos on the site are priced based on single-use license. If you would like to get multiple-use license please contact me directly for respective price (usually 20-30% higher depending on intended use).

3. Images become available for download after the payment is done.
4. Standard set of available downloads include small resolution image for web-usage and 1280 pixel wide print-ready image (please read the first point above). If you need a higher resolution image please contact me directly for respective quotes those depend on intended use and required resolution.
5. In general you are responsible for liability of use. I can not warrant whether your final use of an image requires additional permissions. It is your sole responsibility to assure that the photo you are licensing is suitable for your intended use. Please also read special note on sport events photos available for licensing through this site.
