Information we need

We'll need the following details to process your licence: 

• title of the artwork you want to reproduce
• name of the artist
• do you wish to reproduce the work in full, or cropped, manipulated or over-printed
• title of the publication
• number of expected downloads (print run)
• context of reproduction (e.g. e-version of printed publication, application, online journal)

How the price is calculated

Our prices are based on the way in which an artwork is being used and the commercial nature of the project. An artwork will command a higher fee the more prominently it is featured (eg on the front cover of a book).

Our fees are set irrespective of the size of the reproduction and whether it is reproduced in colour or in black and white.

You can extend the print run at any time during the term of the licence. No additional charge will be made where the additional copies requested fall within the same print run bracket. If the additional copies requested exceed the print run originally licensed, a top-up fee will apply.

A charge is made per reproduction. Prices stated exclude VAT. Where appropriate, discounts may be available when a large number of works are licensed for a project.

All prices are correct at the time of publication and are subject to change. Our members reserve the right to override our standard fees.

We review our licensing prices annually. This allows us to keep in-touch with changes in the industry and technological advances, so we can create relevant and robust licences that benefit both our customers and artists.

Should any price changes affect your industry, we shall notify you at least 14 days in advance.

Duration of the licence

DACS’ digital publishing licences have a term of ten years.

If your use or the format of your use changes, you will need to apply for a new licence.
