Subscription Agreement

This document defines rights and responsibilities of Buyers using one of the regular subscription plans provided by Depositphotos (hereinafter “Site”). Agreeing with this document, you confirm your consent with its terms and acceptance in your own name or on behalf of an organization owning the account. In case of acceptance of the terms and conditions of this Agreement on behalf of an organization, the user confirms and guarantees that he or she has significant and full ability and right to conclude such Agreements. If the user has no such right, or he or she does not agree with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the user should not use these subscription plans.

1. REGULAR SUBSCRIPTION PLAN INFORMATION AND DEFINITION

A Regular Subscription Plan (hereinafter "Subscription") is a common method of purchasing files at the Site via prepayment. According to the terms of the specific Subscription plan, a person who has registered with Depositphotos and has a valid Buyer account (hereinafter “User”) may download specified quantities of files per day as long as said Subscription is valid. Unused per diem download allowances do not transfer to the next day, nor do they accumulate or qualify for reimbursement.

Dimensions of the files available for downloading via Subscription are not limited: the User can download JPEG files of any desired size as well as any vector files. The per diem limit specifies only the number of files which can be downloaded per day, and does not restrict the User to any specific type or size for those files.

Subscriptions are automatically renewed and charged to the User prior to the last day of the Subscription renewal term, unless the User explicitly terminates the Subscription or cancels automatic renewal.

No matter where the User is physically located, the day the subscription is activated is the first day, and each subscription day resets every 24 hours.

The number of downloads available to you is determined by the subscription you purchase. A day is defined as the twenty four (24) hour period beginning at the time your product is purchased. A month is defined as thirty (30) consecutive days beginning on and including the date that you purchase your subscription.

2. TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS

In order to work with a Subscription, the User should choose a specific Subscription plan by following the links to the Site’s «Buyer Menu» -> «Subscription» page, and agreeing to pay for it with one of the payment options offered. By purchasing a Subscription, the User acknowedges that he/she is familiar with the current Agreement and agrees to comply with the terms and limitations stated herein.

3. SUBSCRIPTION RENEWAL

By accepting the terms and conditions of this agreement, the User agrees that upon conclusion of the Subscription renewal term, the Subscription will be automatically renewed under the same plan or one of the Subscription plans valid at the moment of renewal.

Payment for the Subscription plan will be automatically deducted from the User’s account.

If the User wishes to stop automatic renewal of a Subscription plan, he/she should log into the Site prior to the end of the Subscription renewal term, go to the «Buyer Menu» -> «Subscription» -> «Your Subscription» page, and follow the directions to cancel the current Subscription renewal and halt the recurring payment from the User’s payment system.

Important: Depositphotos does not send any notices by any means of communication (email, mail, phone, fax, etc.) regarding the impending subscription renewal, nor can we be held liable for missed subscription cancellations. By accepting this Agreement, you affirm that you understand and intend to comply with the condition.

If automatic renewal of the subscription is declined by The User, the Subscription will be terminated at the end of its renewal term.
