Copyright |
|
Scala images are protected
by invisible watermarks, traceable on and off line. |
|
Photographs and other images
are protected by copyright laws, and their creators, as copyright holders,
have the right to exercise control over their use. Anyone who violates copyright
is subject to fines and destruction of the infringing work. |
|
The copyright on the images
belongs to the photographer (Scala) and, in some cases, to the artist and/or
the owner (collector, museum etc.). As you purchase an image from Scala
Archives you are granted a license, copyright clearance, from the photographer
and in most cases the owner. Any authorization or surcharge to be settled
with the owner, is always indicated on our delivery notes and in the image
on-line detail. |
|
The utilization of works
by artists who are living or have been dead for less than 70 years, thus
not yet in Public Domain, requires the additional authorization of the copyright
holder or their Collecting Society (for example, DACS
for the UK, ADAGP
for France, BILDKUNST
for Germany, VEGAP
for Spain, VAGA or ARS
for the United States etc.). Any authorization or surcharge to be settled
with the artist, or the owner, is always indicated on our delivery notes
and in the image on-line detail. In some cases copyright may also be held
by additional third parties (for example Personalities Rights, such as Marilyn
Monroe or Albert Einstein, or in the case of trademarks). Should you have
questions please feel free to contact our knowledgeable staff. |

for reproduction is granted upon payment of the invoice. |
