Once you purchase a royalty-free product, you may use it multiple times for a single project without paying additional fees. (Pornographic, defamatory, libelous or otherwise unlawful use of any image is, of course, prohibited.). This applies to the invoiced company or person only. Any subsidiary, associate or sister company or organisation must purchase their own images. A company or person can not pass on any image to a third party company or person for their own use.

Reproducing a single image as a poster, postcard, on a mug, shirt, as a painting is not acceptable. In such a case the thing that gives differing value to the resulting product is the photo on it.
