In order to purchase an item, you must first display the Document Detail View that includes the thumbnail and the expanded IPTC caption information for Visuals, or the text preview for Text. Once you display the Detail View, use the appropriate 'BUY' link and follow these directions:
- On a PC, right click on the BUY link and select 'Save Target As' (IE) or 'Save Link As' (Netscape).
- On a Mac, hold down the mouse button on the BUY LINK, select 'Save this Link as…' and choose 'Source' from the pop-up.
If the link says 'BUY', you will be charged the amount associated with that link on your next invoice. If the link says 'DOWNLOAD', the image is free of charge or part of a pre-paid contract plan and will not result in an additional charge on an invoice.
Remember that clicking on a BUY link constitutes a sale!
Duplicate images downloaded by the same user id in the same calendar month will only be charged once. Make sure the duplicate downloads are the exact same files, as occasionally a provider might send images that are very similar to each other or send duplicate images. In addition, magazine, book and online users may see multiple BUY links for some images. These indicate a variety of usage options for these types of customers and are priced accordingly. Clicking on the BUY links for multiple options DOES NOT constitute a "duplicate download". You will be billed for each option that you choose. Please note that the links to the different page sizes are used for billing purposes only and are not intended to indicate any difference in size or resolution of the image downloaded.
When you download an image, it is assumed that you will also publish it, and ultimately be charged for the editorial use of the image. You should choose an image carefully before downloading. We have made your buying decision easier by providing you with the ability to display a large preview of images and by enabling you to purchase a HI-RES watermarked image for a nominal fee. The decision to credit for any item downloaded will be made by Newscom's Sales Manager.
At the end of
each month, you will receive an invoice from Newscom detailing any appropriate monthly
subscription delivery charges and/or all a la carte purchases made during that month. For a
la carte purchases, the invoice will include the date and time of the download, the title of the image/article, the
provider of that image/article and the price. If you have any questions or
would like to review an ala carte item on your invoice, refer to the My Account section of your web account
and click on Purchase History from the Secondary Navigation Area. You may scan the appropriate billing period, find the item in
question and click on Tag Id to review the item.
At any
time during the month, you may view the purchasing history of your account by clicking on
Account Status in the Primary Navigation Area, then choosing Purchase History from the Secondary
Navigation Area. A list of available billing periods will appear. Click on the billing period
you wish to view. A popup window will appear giving you an overview of the purchases that
were made during that billing period. If you wish to preview an item on the list, click on
Tag Id. A search will be performed and the item will be returned in the Search
Results.
