The internet portal TheWhiteRider.eu may offer to sell especially attractive photographs or images with a picturesque or unique character, which have been produced by our photographers. These are offered under the heading “Photos for Sale”.

The purchase of a photograph from TheWhiteRider.eu is deemed to be for a particular, defined purpose and for a defined period of time, which is to be agreed in writing between the purchaser of the image and the internet portal TheWhiteRider.eu.

Any planned further utilisation of the relevant images must be specified in detail in a written agreement between the acquirer of the image and the internet portal TheWhiteRider.eu.

The internet portal TheWhiteRider.eu reserves the right to criminal prosecution and claims for compensation in the event of unauthorised commercial utilisation of our photographs and images.

If the internet portal TheWhiteRider.eu uses watermarks in its photographs and images, this will be prominently indicated this in the video and photo series, as well as in the “General Terms of Use”.
