Content Policy

This content policy is a condensed summary of the Terms of Use of Chrisrayn.com. It does not replace the Terms, but provides you with a quick summary of Do’s and Don’ts regarding the use of the copyrighted photographic works presented on this website.

  • License any image in full quality: You are welcome to obtain a license for digital use or print of any work presented on this website, in any resolution needed. Please contact Chris Rayn about the details.
  • Share on social networks / image platforms with buttons on this website: Please use the share buttons on this website to automatically use a thumbnail or the authorized web version (450×300 pixels) of Chris Rayn’s works on social networks such as Twitter, Facebook or Pinterest. Sharing other versions of the pictures than the web version is not permitted.
  • Use the provided code to publish in blogs: You may use the code snippet on each page for authorized blog use. Contact Chris Rayn if you need a different version than the one provided. Full attribution (artist, website, link) including a backlink to the source page on this website is always expected.
  • Save web version with Download button or hotlink to it: Use the “Download” button on each page to save the authorized web version (450×300 pixels) to your device, or hotlink to it using the picture link. This version may be used online without modification and with full attribution (artist, website, link). It may not be printed or sold. Please note that with downloading or hotlinking you bear the responsibility for honoring these terms. Downloading through other means (such as crawlers, browser add-ons etc.) and/or other versions is strongly discouraged as the associated source and licensing information may be lost.
  • Other pictures than web version may not be uploaded elsewhere, hotlinked/framed or printed: Generally it is not permitted to upload (share, post, attach, pin, flip etc.) pictures – especially higher quality versions provided here – to other websites, apps or other digital and offline services, including blogs, social networks or news sites through means other than those explicitely provided here. Likewise, pictures may not be embedded elsewhere through hotlinking and framing through other means than the ones provided for this purpose (sharing buttons, code snippets, web version hotlink). Any pictures may not be used in offline contexts by printing them. Please use the means provided on the website (e.g., download button, web version hotlink, sharing links/buttons, html snippets) to share pages and pictures.
  • Image crawlers only allowed to use preview images: Crawler/Bots which are aggregating pictures for search engines, social platforms and other websites, apps or projects may obtain or create thumbnails of the photos hosted on their own servers which directly link back to source pages on this website. Only original or resized, but otherwise unmodified pictures with a maximum edge length of 450 pixels may be used in this context. Saving and/or displaying larger or full size versions out of context, with or without hotlinking, is not allowed and treated as willful copyright violation. All crawlers/bots are expected to honor robots.txt.
