DAMAGED, LOST OR MISADDRESSED SHIPMENTS
Requests for returns due to shipping damage must be made within three (3) days of receipt of your order. We pack orders carefully, but photos are delicate, and accidents do happen. It is always a good idea to inspect your order immediately upon arrival and to let us know right away about any damage that occurred in shipment. Be sure to handle your print carefully and avoid touching the surface. Also, note that we cannot be responsible for prints damaged during any framing or mounting you may do.

Why is there a Columbus Dispatch watermark on my photo? Can I get one without it?

There is a watermark to prevent unauthorized copying. No, you cannot purchase the photo without it. It is small and is in either the left or right hand corner depending on the photo.

WHAT IF I WANT TO USE A PHOTO COMMERCIALLY?

WHAT IS COMMERCIAL USE? HOW DOES IT DIFFER FROM “PERSONAL USE?”

Commercial use is any use that brings value to the person or organization displaying the photograph to the public. Commercial usage includes publication in newsletters, brochures, flyers, photocopied handouts and any Web site or e-mail distribution. Commercial usage also applies to non-profit organizations, academic institutions or individuals who use a photograph in this manner.

Personal use means that you are buying the image for your own personal enjoyment and it will not be reproduced, sold, published, distributed, or utilized in any other manner.

CAN I USE A PHOTO ON MY WEBSITE?

Not without the express permission of the copyright owner of the photograph. This is considered commercial use. Contact the publication or organization directly for commercial use of a photograph.
