---ANY AND ALL COMMERCIAL USE IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED WITHOUT MY WRITTEN PERMISSION---
--When using my stock for personal private use--
Note: I define "personal private use" as downloading/saving my stock image and using it locally on your computer only.
1) This means that you do not have permission to upload it to the internet unless you credit me.
2) Also, you may not distribute the image via physical means (i.e. flash drive or prints)
3) If you wish to a) upload your image to the internet or b) distribute it in physical form, please read all other rules regarding my image use.
4) If you plan to use this image for personal private use only, you do not need to request permission for using my image nor do you have to tell me that you have used my image.
--When using my stock for educational use--
(For example, school projects.)
Fair Use dictates that:
"4.2.4 Illustrations and Photographs
The reproduction or incorporation of photographs and illustrations is more difficult to define with regard to fair use because fair use usually precludes the use of an entire work. Under these guidelines a photograph or illustration may be used in its entirety but no more than 5 images by an artist or photographer may be reproduced or otherwise incorporated as part of an educational multimedia project created under Section 2. When using photographs and illustrations from a published collective work, not more than 10% or 15 images, whichever is less, may be reproduced or otherwise incorporated as part of an educational multimedia project created under Section 2."
