and using the Service.
4. Restrictions on licence
4.1 This licence is granted on the basis of allowing the making
and incorporation of Digital Images into the Service once during

only. Incorporation of Digital Images in any other product or

Digital Image concerned in its altered, manipulated or adapted
form.

or extended licence shall be deemed to commence at the same
time;
(e) additional fees may be payable and shall be as set out in
