CHARITY AND COMMUNITY - FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

The requested image may be supplied to you free of charge once your application has been approved. The image will be sent to you via e-mail and carries restrictions that are specifically concerning the use of any image for charitable or community use. In all instances, you must print our copyright statement next to the picture or in the list of credits as follows:

Failure to print this statement will be in breach of our agreement and may lead to refusal for future projects.

If you would like to order a print or you can view the images available by clicking either of these links but if you would like to request to use an image for use within a programme to promote and event then please submit the programme application form to us.

Royal Images do not normally charge charities or communities for using an image that is to be used in a charity or community programme even if a charge is being made for advertising or for the programme itself. We must point out that this does not apply if a commercial organisation is to gain from any of the proceeds. It is a condition of the permission being granted that all profits from the sale of the programme must go directly to the charity or community project and not to any commercial organisation. If this is not the case then a fee may apply.

If you would like to apply to use an official image for a charity or community project then please complete the charity or community enquiry form.
