A lightbox is basically a place where you can store images that you are interested in. Think of it as a shopping list. Maybe you want a list for every client, or for every project. Members can make as many different lightboxes as they like.

When an image is marked as being "exclusive", it signifies that the image is only available though us. If a photographer certifies an image to be exclusive, it guarantees buyers that you will never find the same photo anywhere else.

Our content filter is designed to filter out potentially offensive "R rated" images. These may include nudity, violence, and other adult-related themes. By activating this filter your searches should yield safe results for children and office environments.

Maybe. Some of our images come with the option of purchasing an Enhanced License which allows templates - "Optional Templates/Resale". If you purchase one of those licenses, you can use the images for resale in a website template. Otherwise, our standard license does not allow templates.
Important Note: If you are hired to make a website for a client, then you may use our images. The important distinction is that "boxed" / pre-made templates are selling the site, whereas an individual job is selling the service.

No. The resale and/or redistribution of our images is strictly prohibited.

Maybe. Some of our images come with the option of purchasing an extended license which allows limited resale - "Optional Templates/Resale".

Yes, you certainly can. We accept payments from nearly every country in the world.

We are a Canadian company, so we are required to collect tax on all Canadian orders. Depending on the province, we are required to collect the local GST or HST percentage.

Yes, all subscriptions automatically renew themselves at the end of each period. To stop them from automatically renewing, see the third question below.

Your download limit is actually based on a 24 hour clock, and not calendar days. If your limit is 25 photos a day and you download 25 photos at 5:00pm today, then you cannot download more with this subscription untill 5:00pm the next day.

If you purchased with PayPal, log into your PayPal account, select the subscription, and click Cancel. For all other payment methods, go to your "My Account", and under "Subscriptions", uncheck the "Auto Renew" box.

You have two options:
1) Uncheck the Auto-Renew option, and let your current subscription expire. Then purchase your upgraded package.
2) Contact Support, and we will make special arrangements for you.
