Standard License for social media and e-book

[Morgan26022393n77m]

Hi, I am a self-published author.

I have a few questions. 

First regarding the use is standard licensed stock as part of social media posts.

Does the 500,000 limitation mean that it can only be used in that many posts, or is it based on the number of views? 

(For example, can I use an image in one post, and the limitation be in the nmber of times I post said image, or do views go into consideration, such as a TikTok post where it is one video that is viewed many time?)

I have issues with understadning this specifically due to the allowance in the licensing terms that states it can be used in on-line ads, and social media but the "print" production is limited. 

Second, is for e-book covers.

I understand extended licensing is best with print books due to not knowing the exact number of prints that will be created in a run, however, as e-book are electronic and online medias, does the same apply for e-book covers? 

Thank you!

So print including e-book distribution is limited to 500k (all together). Social media is unlimited.

Take the run for print and e-book together and if that is more than 500k, you will need an extended licence. You will also need an extended licence, when the main incentive to buy the book (generally item) is the asset.

(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.
