In order to submit content to Adobe Stock, you must follow these third-party rights guidelines, which are a part of the Adobe Stock Contributor Agreement (“Contributor Agreement”).
Adobe Stock doesn't permit the submission of content that infringes third-party rights. Third-party rights include personal, privacy, property, and similar rights belonging to third parties, as detailed in these guidelines. Our known restrictions list specifies restricted subjects that contain third-party rights, but remember that this isn't a comprehensive list.
Publicity rights
Publicity rights are the rights of individuals to control the commercial use of their likenesses. You may not submit content that infringes an individual’s publicity rights, and Adobe Stock requires a model release for content that features recognizable individuals. You must follow the model release requirements when submitting content featuring recognizable individuals.
Privacy rights
Privacy rights are rights that give individuals control over the use of their personal information. You must follow the model release requirements when submitting content featuring recognizable individuals. You must also comply with privacy requirements that cover your use of model information.
Property rights
Property rights cover a property owner’s use of their private property. You must follow the property release requirements when submitting content taken on recognizable private property.
Cultural property rights
Cultural property rights protect certain cultural properties of significance. You must follow applicable laws or regulations around the use of such properties.
Other third-party rights
Your content may implicate other third-party rights specific to your content, and it's your responsibility to ensure that your content submissions don't infringe these third-party rights. Note that these guidelines don't contain a comprehensive list of all applicable third-party rights, and so you should consult your legal counsel on specific legal questions.
Content removal and account termination
Your content may be removed, or your account may be deactivated, for not complying with these third-party rights guidelines. If you dispute such a decision, you may file an appeal or use an out-of-court dispute resolution option (where applicable in your jurisdiction).
