Third party rights guidelines

In order to submit content to Adobe Stock, you must follow these Third Party Rights Guidelines, which are a part of the Adobe Stock Contributor Agreement (“Contributor Agreement”).

Adobe Stock does not permit the submission of content that infringes third party rights. Third party rights include personal, privacy, property and similar rights belonging to third parties, including as detailed in these Third Party Rights Guidelines. Our Known Restrictions List specifies restricted subjects containing third party rights, but please note this is not a comprehensive list. 

Publicity Rights

Publicity rights are the right of individuals to control commercial use of their likeness. You may not submit content that infringes an individual’s publicity rights, and Adobe Stock requires a model releases for content that features recognizable individuals. You must follow the model release requirements when submitting content featuring recognizable individuals.  

Privacy Rights

Privacy rights are rights that give individuals control over use of their personal information. You must follow the model release requirements when submitting content featuring recognizable individuals. You must also comply with privacy requirements that cover your use of model information.  

Property Rights

Property rights cover a property owner’s use of their private property. You must follow the property release requirements when submitting content taken on recognizable private property. 

Cultural Property Rights

Cultural property rights provide protection to certain properties of cultural significance. You must follow applicable laws or regulations around the use of such properties. 

Other third party rights

Your content may implicate other third party rights specific to your content, and it is your responsibility to ensure that your content submissions do not infringe these third party rights. Please note that these guidelines do not contain a comprehensive list of all applicable third party rights, and so you should consult your legal counsel on specific legal questions. 

Content removal and account termination

Your content may be removed, or your account may be deactivated, for not complying with these Third Party Rights Guidelines. If you dispute such a decision, you may file an appeal or use an out-of-court dispute resolution option (where applicable in your jurisdiction) by following the process here: https://www.adobe.com/trust/transparency.html
