Relicensing License

Secure Re-Licensing of Images, Graphics and Videos by RC-Photo-Stock / Rafael Classen

As the author of the works offered via RC-Photo-Stock and affiliated platforms, I offer a straightforward option to legally re-license specific content that may have been used without a valid license or by mistake.

When is Re-Licensing Appropriate?

Re-licensing offers a legally secure solution, especially in the following situations:

• - An image, graphic, or video was used without properly acquiring or documenting a valid license.
• - The license terms of the original platform were violated, thereby rendering the license invalid.
• - Copyright information within the IPTC metadata was deleted or modified.
• - The media was shared with third parties without a valid rights transfer or sublicensing agreement.
• - There is no verifiable or complete license chain (e.g., due to missing documentation, unauthorized distribution, or expired usage rights).

In such cases, our re-licensing option provides a fair and practical way to restore lawful usage rights and enable continued, legally compliant use of the content.

Costs & Process of Re-Licensing

There are two flexible payment options available for re-licensing:

Option 1: Direct Purchase

You can purchase a re-license for a specific work directly through our shop – quickly and easily using:

• - PayPal
• - Invoice

The price for a re-license is €350*. This includes a legally valid single-user license, full documentation, and usage rights in accordance with our license terms.

Option 2: Re-Licensing via Credit Package

Alternatively, you can acquire re-licenses and new stock media at a reduced rate through a credit package:

• 550 credits for €350*
• 350 credits are used for the re-license
• The remaining 200 credits can be used for additional images, graphics, or videos

This credit-based option gives you full flexibility and cost savings when purchasing further content from our media archive.

Note: Re-licensing via credit package is limited to a maximum of three works per package. If you need to re-license more than three items, we’ll be happy to provide a custom offer.

To use the credit system, a free member account is required.

After the re-license has been purchased through your member account, the media file is immediately available for download.

Please replace the previously used file with the new version including full IPTC metadata and update the attribution to:
