Factors affecting rates in magazine reprint advertisements
Reprints of favorable, editorial magazine or newspaper stories (and picture layouts) often are used by commercial organizations as promotional material or to directly solicit new business. Companies seeking to republish such material need the permssion of the publication. However, the content (story or pictures) may have been produced by the publication's own staff, or by a freelance author, illustrator or photographer (who either retained or signed away their ownership and usage rights). Photographer George Wedding retains the rights to remarket freelance material, since it is only licensed to newspapers and magazines for limited, one-time use.

A company wishing to reprint a newspaper or magazine story containing GEOPIX images using photo copying, original film negatives or digital files and a press, must secure a separate copyright license from GEOPIX for this new use, and pay a new licensing fee. The republication of editorial reprints is classified as advertising (sometimes called advertorial), and commands a fee higher than editorial usage fees

The photography licensing rates quoted are based on specific criteria, including use, reproduction size, placement, distribution (local, national, international), length of the ad campaign, uniqueness of the image, and production costs. Generally, print advertising brochure rates are higher than Web advertising rates. Unless otherwise requested and defined in the written copyright license, images are made available for one-time, exclusive use for a three-month period and they will not be sold to potential competitors you name and identify during this period. Longer periods of exclusivity are available (see Other fees, below). All other rights are reserved and photographer George Wedding always retains full copyright ownership.

Other Fees
Research, digital processing, CD-burning, transmission and other fees may apply. Some publications request first-time use or exclusive use (for a limited period), instead of the standard 90-day license.

FEES FOR EXCLUSIVE-USE EXTENSION
6-MONTH: Add 25% 1-YEAR: Add 50% 2-YEAR: Add 100%

Payments
The copyright license you receive is your contract. Terms, rates, fees and other uses can be negotiated and added to the license as needed. All prices are quoted in U.S. dollars. Payments must be received before publication, unless otherwise noted in your copyright license. The invoice payment may be made in the form of a check or foreign draft made payable (in U.S. dollars) to George Wedding / GEOPIX.

Payment via wire-transfer, directly to my U.S. bank account, also is accepted (this service is available through Citibank in some countries). However, a bank transfer fee is required for international purchases paid using wire transfers. Your company is responsible for this bank charge, and this may not be deducted from the invoice total or the amount paid to my account. I suggest using the following formula when estimating a bank transfer fee:

FEES FOR WIRE-TRANSFER PAYMENTS
UNDER $1,200: Add $25 of base rate $1,201-$2,500: Add $50 $2,501+: 2%
