Terms and Conditions

Duke University Photography owns the copyright to all images created by staff photographers. All rights for any reproduction of these images remain with Duke University Photography and permission to use these images must be secured prior to publication or other use. This is true in all cases unless other specific arrangements are made in advance of the reproduction of the images.

Clients who contract for services at our standard rates have the right to debut the images in a specific publication or project. Subsequent use must be paid for at the stock photography rate. Clients who underwrite the costs of creating original images at our buyout rates have broad access to use those images without the need to obtain further permission for their use. Clients are not allowed to distribute, sell, or share any images produced by this office unless negotiated beforehand. Clients are not free to share these images with other organizations or units within Duke. Publication in magazines, advertising, or other commercial ventures may require the payment of additional fees

Purchases of images from our stock photography collections are for one-time use only. Any subsequent use requires approval from Duke University Photography and will result in new charges.
