How to use photographs and images from OpenImageBank

Terms of Use for photos and images from OpenImageBank are simple. Here is a brief summary.

There are only a few activities that are not permitted (A):

Photos and images may not be used illegally and immorally and in a way that lowers the dignity of the authors, the captured persons and objects. Some of the captured objects (eg buildings) may be protected by some rights (eg copyright) and their photos may be used only in accordance with these rights.
Photos and images may not be used without the name of the author and a link to the site OpenImageBank.com. If the name of the author is not listed here, just provide the link to us. When used on a web-site, the link must be active (eg a text link: Free photos from OpenImageBank.com). The link can lead to the home page or to the page with the photo.
Photos and pictures in full resolution may not be - even in modified form (eg resized) - used in projects serving (explicitly or implicitly) as a source of graphics for further use (eg online galleries).

A few examples of what is permitted (B):

Images and photos may be used in any way (in accordance with the above Rule 1 (A)), they may be modified, used on the Web, in print, in other works etc. The license to download and to use any of our images is non-exclusive (ie other people may get the licence as well).
The images and photographs may also be used as a part of works which are intended to spread (except as limited above in the Rule 3 (A)), such as web templates. Each user of such works must be properly informed that there must be retained the author's name and the link to OpenImageBank.com.
Images and photos may be used in blogs, online magazines etc. If they are used often on one website, then it is sufficient to link to OpenImageBank only once - the link must be then located on a page which is no more than one click away from the home page. It is not neccessary to put the link on every page with our images (this does not apply to pages whose main content is gallery of pictures; and there may be used - in accordance with the license - only the low-resolution images). At each photograph (eg in Title tag) must be mentioned the author and OpenImageBank.com (as mentioned in the Rule 2 (A)).

* Some of the captured objects (eg buildings) may be protected by copyright or other laws and if you want to use their photographs for selected purposes (for example for advertising) you must contact the owner of such rights.
