When pricing any contract imaging assignment or a stock usage there are fees including combinations of a CREATIVE FEE, HARD COPY FEES, and USAGE FEES, plus EXPENSES. The fact that expenses are included in the total cost does not entitle any qualified company to any specific rights to the resulting imaging. All usage is subject to negotiation and contract agreements.

ATD LINES willing to sell almost any rights to the images (retain, at minimum, the rights to use the images in ATD LINES self-promotion). ATD LINES findings that it is to client advantage to purchase only the rights required in the first instance, and to come back later to purchase additional rights as requirement develop. Naturally, ATD LINES take into consideration the original usage when pricing additional uses, particularly if the first use was a Railway Imaging Service Assignment for valued clients.
