Licensing reproductions

9 Exclusivity

• Is the license exclusive or non-exclusive? An exclusive licence gives the client the sole right to make use of the image within the other terms of the licence. The artist cannot grant the same rights to others. It is important that the licence wording defines what the exclusivity covers. An artist should be wary about granting exclusive rights unless the terms are otherwise favourable.
