The
goal of this photo library is to provide a resource
for marketing and promoting Kinross-shire.
Photographs can be used, subject to the following
conditions. However, acknowledgement will be
given to www.kinross.cc on any publication or
website where the photographs appear.
In
looking through the library you will be able
to browse pages of photo thumbnails, which are
linked to full-size images.
Fair
Use of Copyright-Free Images
The images and photos found in this library
come from residents of Kinross-shire and friends
of www.kinross.cc
The photos you'll find here are copyright free,
but some restrictions still apply. Specifically,
people have a legal right to privacy, and the
use of their likeness for commercial advertising
requires their consent. If a person is recognisable
in an image, his or here consent must be obtained
before using the image for commercial purposes.
In principle, if a photo is sufficiently modified
so that individuals are no longer "recognisable",
it should be okay to use. In any and all cases,
the final responsibility for the fair use of
the images found on this site is yours. The
advice you are reading here is not a qualified
legal opinion. You should seek legal advice
if you have any questions or doubts about your
use of images containing recognisable individuals.
Acceptable Site Use Policy
Because www.kinross.cc is built on limited resources,
you are requested to refrain from trying to
automatically download the entire image library
collection. The available bandwidth just would
not permit such an activity.
Library
Organisation
Access to the free images and photos in the
library is through linked pages sorted by general
category, clicking on the category will bring
up thumbnails of images.
The thumbnail pages offer a means for rapidly
browsing image content, and clicking an individual
thumbnail links to a page with a larger image,
typically 20-50Kb in size. Clicking on this
medium sized image will bring up a full sized
image.
