Images on the Aperture Asia website are copyright protected under the Berne Convention and International Laws. Without full payment or written agreement between Aperture Asia and other party, it is strictly prohibited to use them.

Images are licensed to one party, either for an individual or a company business usage, for the said price agreed by both parties. Purchase of images does not constitute exchange of copyright, but buys the right to use the specific image for one specific usage. To let your friend or related company use the image one more time is stealing and a violation of the copyright law and international regulation.

Our images are presented on the Internet for viewing purposes only, for the benefit of commercial users of photography and illustration. Our images may not be reproduced in any manner whatsoever without the prior written consent of Aperture Asia and subject to the payment of the agreed licensing fees.

Upon full payment of file or image, Aperture Asia grants you at the same time a personal, nontransferable, nonexclusive right to copy the images purchased and to use them on one computer with one user at a time. Images can be copied, modified and incorporated in materials for business or personal usage, including comps and browsing, provided they are not used in FTP file form or any downloadable or sharing form over a network or the World Wide Web. The Images cannot be sold or sublicensed alone or, except as provided above, as part of any product.

Copyright and Licensee agreements are essential for the survival of independent photographers. Aperture Asia hopes that you can fully respect this agreement and therefore respect photographer's work who put tremendous work for creativity and quality, in order to offer you a wide choice of images for your particular business or usage.
