PRINT RUN. The print run is another important factor. For all kinds of
uses, Milestone Media quotes different rates depending whether it is an
average print run or a small print run. The latter is determined by technical
parameters such as start up, quality of paper, printing etc. Limited print
runs will be given for special rates.
SUBJECT OF THE IMAGE. As a general rule, the price of an image doesn't
vary according to the subject. It is also true that images that are particularly
complex to shoot, will be given a different value compared to ordinary
ones.
TRADE. The trade indicates the commercial area in which the end user that
planned the advertisement operates. A hardware producer will be considered
in the computer industry, whereas a hypermarket will be in the large distribution
trade and so on. Determining the trade is a key factor to avoid competitors
using the same image at the same time.
INDUSTRY EXCLUSIVE. When licensing an image, Milestone Media doesn't grant
any exclusivity unless upon specific request, neither within a specific
industry, nor for national or international uses. Upon request, we can
limit the usage of an image within a specific industry. For example, a
company requires an image for the pharmaceutical trade to create a window
poster for a six months period exclusively within the industry. In this
case the same image will not be licensed again during the same time period
to companies that operate within the same industry. Licensing that image
within other trades will be allowed. There is also a possibility of licensing
an image with an all round exclusive. Exclusivity will influence the licensing
costs significantly (see examples below).

unauthorized
uses
Unfortunately in some instances, people have used our images without permission,
and in most cases they have been caught. According to the contract such
infringements are charged three times the standard price, but in some
cases clients have been asked to pay also the damages that these unauthorised
usages have caused to those clients that had regularly licensed the image.
As a rule, Milestone Media takes legal action against all unauthorised
uses, whatever the infringement, in order to protect its clients and suppliers.
