When we photograph for our clients we expect them to use the photos on their personal web sites, on their personal business cards, stationary, and for paid advertisements in magazines and the like. If the photos are being used for their personal items such as checks, or a mouse-pad ...to be used by them.....a mug, even a poster.....and these uses are one or two copies ONLY.....and are not intended to be sold to the general public at large.... We consider this a permissable usage, and hereby grant permission for duplication for this type of purpose.

Our permission is hereby given for your printer to use our photos on your personal stationary items, checks, business cards, photos on theri own personal credit cards, brochures, pedigrees etc.. Items used by you, or to be given away by you personally for free. Also permision is granted for use in show catalogs, newspaper announcements or ads for your show and club fliers, and other items with print runs less than 500 copies. It is REQUIRED that copyright credit be included on any "published" uses to protect our ownership of the image. This requirement to include the signature/credit on images used in published uses (including the internet) is needed to satisfy USA and International Copyright Law, to retain ownership of the copyright to the photos. About 1/3 to 1/2 of our income is derived from such additional uses, and it is only because of the income we generate from them, that we can keep our prices as low as we do with all the airfares, hotels, car rentals, and the current price of gasoline.......I will try to keep posted on our site a list of "allowable" uses that can be downloaded, and should hopefully serve as evidence of your permission to use the images in personal ways. If you need us to write a special release for any use, we charge $10.00 for each release we have to transmit on a custom basis.

On the other hand if....someone wants to use the image on a package to sell something to the public, or use it as an illustration in a magazine, or a web site (other than the owner's personal web site), to make a pattern or design from the image and then sell it to the public...or use the photo in any product, the intention of which is to sell to the general public, then the person marketing the item must enter into a contract with Chanan Photography to obtain the right to use the image.
