Question

Licensing a photo for a client

I have searched far and wide for a clear answer to this.. and every answer is someone posting a link to the already clearly confusing legal page. 

 

I recently found this on the FAQ page

How does ones license a photo for a client off of the adobe stock site? Is this done in the back end of Adobe? Or do they want the designer to create a legal form and then the client signs the legal form with language that says we are passing on the license? Please, it would be helpful if someone would give steps to do this and not a link back to the license page.

 

Thanks

You are probably referring to one of my multiple answers to a question like this. It is up to you, how you handle this. The only issue is, that the customer needs to accept licensing terms that are at least as stringent than those from Adobe. 

 

The easiest thing of that is that if you need to send the asset over to the customer, that they declare to accept 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).
