- commercial websites;
- magazines and publications;
- advertising and promotional materials;
- social media campaigns;

Users may crop, resize, retouch, recolor, transform or incorporate the images into derivative or composite works.
Such modifications do not transfer ownership of the original photograph to the user.
The original copyright and ownership of the photograph remain with the applicable copyright holder.
5. Ownership and Copyright
This license does not transfer copyright ownership.
Unless otherwise stated on the individual image page, the copyright in the original photograph remains with Safaee and/or the respective copyright holder identified in the image metadata or credits .
This license grants permission to use the image; it does not constitute a sale, assignment or transfer of copyright.
6. No False Attribution
Users may not falsely claim that they created or photographed an original image released through the Safaee Media Archive.
Users may modify the image, but must not knowingly present the original photograph as their own original photographic work.
7. No Implied Endorsement
Use of an image does not imply that Safaee, the photographer, the creative team, or any affiliated person or organization endorses, sponsors, approves or is otherwise associated with the user’s product, service, organization, publication or commercial activity.
Any use suggesting such endorsement requires separate permission.
8. Personality, Name and Trademark Rights
This license grants permission to use the image as a copyrighted work.
It does not automatically grant rights to use Safaee’s name, trademarks, logos, likeness, persona or other separately protected rights in a manner that falsely suggests sponsorship, endorsement, affiliation or official partnership.
Users remain responsible for ensuring that their particular use complies with applicable laws and third-party rights.
9. Third-Party Rights
Some photographs may contain elements that are subject to rights belonging to third parties, including photographers, designers, brands, artworks, locations, trademarks or identifiable individuals.
Where such rights apply, this license does not grant rights that Safaee does not own or have authority to grant.
Users are responsible for determining whether additional permissions are required for their intended use.
10. No Warranty
The images are provided “as is” without warranties of any kind, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
Safaee makes no representation that every possible use of an image is free from third-party rights or legal restrictions.

Safaee may remove an image from the official archive in the future; however, removal of an image from the website does not by itself retroactively invalidate permissions already granted under this license, subject to applicable law.
