2. We will not publish or sub-license your photographic images without your permission.
Phocus may not resell or distribute images generated during a photo shoot that you have requested and paid for (“Client Images”), without your permission. Under this Privacy Policy, You provide Phocus with a limited license to use Client Images as examples within galleries on the Phocus Site and on the site of the photographer who took the photos, unless you specifically indicate that you withhold such permission from Phocus. At the time you place an order, you will have the opportunity to withhold permission for such use of Client Images.
