Rights & Clearance
Sueddeutsche Zeitung Photo offers images for reprinting as so-called "rights-managed (RM)" or as subject to license to its professional clients.

Licensing Agreement
You will receive the licensing agreement for your provided purpose in form of an invoice on the basis of the particular fees for your intended utilization.
Legal Reservation
Before publishing a photo, you often have to acquire more rights than just the copyright of the photographer. Please remember that images with clearly recognizable persons, buildings, works of art or products exceed our copyright permission for the photo. You may need to receive a letter of agreement by the person or a reproduction permission of the architect, building owner, artist or trademark owner. Considering works of art, you will mostly need to contact the VG Bild-Kunst (www.bildkunst.de) in order to clarify all remaining rights.
In order to obtain basic information about legal restrictions on the use of your selected image, please consider the information about the use rights of the individual image in the preview, as well as from our General Terms and Conditions (GTC).
