Have a question?
- I removed the imagery from my website. Can I consider this matter closed?
-
While we appreciate the removal of the represented imagery from your website, removal of the images alone does not resolve the matter. Mauritius Images is entitled to compensation for the past usage of their imagery. On behalf of Mauritius Images we are seeking payment for past unlicensed use of the imagery, and would be happy to work with you on correctly licensing any future use.
- It was not my intention to infringe any copyright.
-
Copyright infringement can occur absent the infringer’s knowledge or intent. We understand that your unauthorized use may have been unintentional. Unfortunately, being unaware of licensing requirements does not change your liability for the infringing use.

- What if someone else created my company’s website?
-
PicRights and Mauritius Images understand that a third-party designer, employee, or intern may have been contracted to design and develop your company’s website. However, if no license for use of Mauritius Images imagery exists, the liability for any infringement ultimately falls on your company since it is displaying the imagery.
If a third party who supplied the images (eg. Your webdesigner) is willing to resolve this matter on your behalf and you are in agreement, that third party may contact PicRights directly; however, PicRights cannot initiate contact with the third party since Mauritius Images claim is with your company. If the third party is unable or unwilling to resolve this matter on your behalf, PicRights will continue to look to your company to resolve this matter. Any effort by you to seek reimbursement from a third party would be between you and the third party as a separate matter. - I have a license / authorization to use the imagery. What is the next step?
-
Please fill in the relevant information in the below fields.
We will review it and reply to you. - I’m a non-profit organization, what are my options?
-
PicRights is sensitive to non-profit organizations’ circumstances.
In order to further review this matter, please provide us with formal documentation (IRS determination letter for the US, Charity Number for the UK, or equivalent documentation for other countries).
Please note that non-profit organizations are not excused from obtaining valid licenses to use images on their websites and a payment will still be required to resolve your matter.
- I found the image for “free” on the internet.
-
Copyrights automatically exist the moment an image is created. The ability to view content online including via search engine results does not mean that the content is not protected by copyright, regardless of the search terms used. For example, a search for “free image” will still return copyrighted images. Permission to use an image is not granted through the use of an internet search engine. Most search engines warn that the content displayed within the search results may be subject to copyright.
- There was no watermark on your image.
-
Copyright exists the moment an image is created. Watermarks or notices of copyright are not required for copyright protection.
- What is copyright infringement?
-
From the moment it is created, a photo, image, music, or video is automatically copyrighted. Copyright infringement is any violation of the rights of the creator. For example, online display of an image, in whole or part, without the permission of the copyright owner (usually in the form of a valid license purchased from the photographer or his/her agency) is considered copyright infringement.
