Images on SpheraImages may be "exclusive" or "non-exclusive". For example, if you have
purchased rights on an image for publication in a advertising brochure for the whole of 2007 throughout the territory of
the EU, and said image is "exclusive" it cannot be purchased for the same period and for publication in an
advertising brochure in any EU Member Country by other users. If, on the other hand, the image is
"non-exclusive" it can also be purchased by other users for the same purpose, detail, period and territory. Naturally,
there is a difference in price between "exclusive" and "non-exclusive" licenses.
All prices shown on the website are in Euro. This means that the automatic system
