Not sure what’s covered?
- Prior Approval: Where artists and/or artworks require prior approval before licensing. Special conditions apply to these works.
- Restricted or Excluded Artworks: Where artworks are excluded from licensing by Copyright Agency, in most cases the artist does not own the copyright of the particular artwork, so we are unable to licence these works. Some specific works also contain licensing restrictions, such as joint copyright clearance or sensitive material.
Any questions? Simply contact us for more information or submit a licence request and we will advise if any restrictions apply.
