Rights-managed (RM)
RM is one of the original types of licenses, an RM license grants permission to use an image for a one-time with a specified use. However, if the customer needs the same image again, they must pay an additional fee. Sometimes RM images are licensed on an exclusive basis to prevent others from using the same image. All licenses are subject to Meashots Licenses Agreements.
Royalty-free (RF)
Unlike Rights Managed, RF licenses have very few restrictions. These images can be used multiple times by the same customer without additional fees. RF images are not given on an exclusive basis and are typically less expensive than RM. These licenses can be very popular because they are easier for a customer to understand and maintain.All licenses are subject to Meashots Licenses Agreements.
"Editorial Use” images depict a newsworthy subject or event. Such images are usually not appropriate for commercial use. For example, an image of a Celebrity or current affair may be newsworthy, but it would not be allowable to use that image in an advertisement without the permission of the subject.
You may NOT resell the photos/videos that you download from Meashots. You can use them in design elements, but not offer them for digital resale or distribution. Please check license terms
