Restrictions
Images are intended for one-time use to support particular Portland travel articles and booked meetings in Portland. Travel Portland’s licensing agreements do not allow the Library to be used on a regular basis by publications as a free image bank.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the following constitute specific prohibited uses of the images:
- Images cannot be used in any brochure, advertisement, advertorial or promotion by any for-profit entity without a fee being paid to the respective photographer. Such uses must be negotiated directly with the respective photographer. Publications in which featured facilities pay for and/or solicit inclusion are considered advertorial.
- Images cannot be resold, used on any CD-ROM, or used for any commercial advertising, including without limitation tourism advertising, promotion of goods and/or services, labels, brochures, posters, postcards, calendars, any other merchandise, or computer applications, including without limitation websites.
- Images cannot be duplicated as a slide or transparency without the written permission of Travel Portland. Travel Portland reserves the right to deny such duplication in its sole discretion. Images may not be altered except for cropping, enlargement or reduction.
- Images may not be used or displayed in an electronic format that enables them to be downloaded or distributed via mobile devices or shared in any peer-to-peer or similar file-sharing arrangement.
- You may not remove any notice of copyright, trademark, or other proprietary right from any place where it is on or embedded in any image.
- In addition to a violation of this agreement, unauthorized use of the images may also violate applicable laws, including without limitation copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.
