What does 'royalty-free' mean?
Royalty-free pricing is based on the size of the image you need, not specific
use. You don't have to pay further fees on a use-by-use basis. Once you purchase
a royalty-free image, you can use it as many times as you like. Royalty-free
images offer an alternative to rights-managed imagery without compromising
quality or creativity.

is, of course, prohibited.)
