Copyright information and image licensing

The images on this website and those supplied with Deeproot Plant Base software are generally subject to copyright. Most are original photographs copyright of Deeproot. Some pictures are provided by the permission of other contributors, who retain the copyright. A few images are "Public Domain" and so are copyright free with no restrictions on their use.

Each image shown in the Online Database has the relevant copyright and in the software product the ownership information for every image is easily displayed (right click on image/Picture details). If it does not state "Public Domain", then it subject to normal copyright.

For images by Deeproot; non-commercial use by private individuals for personal purposes only is allowed without our prior consent. Otherwise for business use they may not be reproduced in any form unless specifically licenced. This applies to pictures exported from Plant Base, download from this website or supplied separately by us.

A special concession may apply to garden designers, landscape architects, environmental consultants and similar professionals. We allow "limited-copy" commercial use of plant photographs, where permission to use them can be assumed. This allows their inclusion as part of a design specification, client proposal or similar document which will not be widely distributed but rather prepared for a particular customer. For this purpose no license fee is payable, although they are still covered by our license conditions and all images used should be credited to us with a clear copyright statement (© Deeproot Plant Base). The same image may be used in different documents for other specific projects but not reproduced to create a standard "catalogue" or for general advertising, etc. Any reproduction for business use, which involves a significant number of copies or is not for specific clients, is regarded as normal commercial use as below.

Publishing images on any website is not included in the above concession, regardless of purpose. Permission must be obtained first.

For all other commercial use, reproduction of images electronically or printed, requires payment of a license fee. See the image pricing page or contact us for details of our affordable, competitive and flexible licensing arrangements.
