Below are some common questions we receive and our answers to them. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions, concerns or other needs not addressed below.

"Are your images rights-managed (RM) or do you have royalty-free (RF) military, SWAT and law enforcement photography?" These images are all "rights-managed" only; they are licensed typically for one-time specific uses at rates based upon industry standards.

"Why are your image licensing fees higher than this other site I found?" You may find other providers of military, SWAT and law enforcement images for less, or even with royalty-free licenses. When you do, compare the quality of the images they provide to ours. We also suggest you ask yourself these questions below:

• Are the other providers' images model-released, so they may be used in advertisements without fear of the subjects within the images threatening to sue you or your client?

• Are the other provider's images legal for use in advertising, according to the rules and regulations set by the United States Department of Defense? We regularly see our competitors offering images for adversting use that DO NOT MEET the legal requirements defined by the US DoD.

• Are the other providers' images authentic and realistic? Take a look at the technical accuracy and realism from the images we provide, by searching our image database.

• How about the other provider's images' quality? Are their images created by professonal photographers with decades of experience or just someone else's snapshots offered for sale?

• Do these other providers offer the level of service you require? We offer a full-time customer service and sales department, negotiable fees for volume licenses and personalized and customized support via phone, email or web to help you find exactly the images you need. We will provide additional research for locating images as part of our service as well. Our going "the extra mile" to get you precisely what you need and in the timeframe in which you need it is a part of the service we provide at no additional cost to you.

The bottom line question we suggest you ask yourself is whether using "bargain-basement" images is worth your time and money, as well as the potential legal issues with using images lacking model releases.
