Note: This feature is exclusive to the Premium account subscribers.

To sell Digital Products you need to specify the license agreements that will apply to each of your Digital Products. A license is defined by name, short description, and full license text, usually written by a legal expert. Zenfolio has prepared 4 pre-defined licenses for you that can be applied to most common uses. These license agreements can be used 'as is' or customized to meet your specific needs.

Custom created licenses can be edited or deleted at any time from the Licenses page.

Zenfolio provided licenses:

  • One-time printed use (no online publishing). Allowing the right to reproduce the purchased image on up to 100,000 copies of a single printed article.
  • Unlimited online use (no printing). Allowing unlimited rights to use the purchased image online only; not allowed to print.
  • Royalty-free commercial use. Allowing royalty-free rights to use the purchased image for any purpose, for profit or otherwise.
  • Royalty-free personal use. Allowing use of the purchased image for personal purposes only and not for profit.

Note: Zenfolio is not liable for any dispute arising out of any digital image license agreement, and provides NO warranties for ANY digital image license, whether the license is created entirely by you, the Photographer, or provided by Zenfolio as a template and used by you "as is" or as modified. Zenfolio is also not responsible for the enforcement of any digital image license agreement; this responsibility lies solely with you, the Photographer.
