What happens if the license for the image I purchase expires or the person who licenses the image doesn’t let me know when the image license expires?
This is one of the issues you need to be aware of when you want to license Rights Managed images and can lead to potential problems down the road. An image buyer will not encounter this problem when licensing royalty free images because there is no time restriction limit. In most cases, it is unwise and at worst, bad practice, to assume that an employee or freelance designer will contact you before a license expires. If the license expires, it is up to you, the buyer, to send the image provider or copyright holder a “renewal notice” to extend the license’s time limitations. Always make sure that your email is on file as the point of contact with the image provider or copyright holder so if they send you a notice about an upcoming expiration, you are informed immediately. In addition, it is wise to organize all your images and licenses in one place so you know the expiration dates and scope of each license purchased.
