Can I share a stock photo (standard license) with a programmer who will code the layout for me?

Question

Hello,In short: I'll be sending my website design out to the developer in a while. For this website design, I used a photo from Adobe Stock(as a website header), which I purchased of course under the standard license. And the license says:"The Standard License allows you to: Share the unmodified photo with your employees and contractors who are contractually bound to comply with the terms of the license."And here my question arises: what should such an agreement look like? Is it enough if the programmer confirms by e-mail that he agrees not to distribute the photo? Are there any ready-made contracts of this type? I am a private person, I do not have any company. I have no idea how to go about it. Greeting.

No.

It will be enough to agree not to use the asset in projects unrelated to yours. But that should be clear for all assets you send over. You can tell the contractor, that concerning this asset, he will need to respect the Adobe licensing terms.

Look here for more information on licensing: https://community.adobe.com/t5/stock/links-for-licensing-terms/td-p/11366788
(Disclaimer: As always with licensing, this is my interpretation of the rules. I think they are correct and advice is based on reading and interpreting the licence terms and on fair use for both the buyer and the artist/stock company, but I cannot rule out that my interpretation is wrong. I'm not an Adobe employee).
