JPL Image Use Policy

Unless otherwise noted, images and video on JPL public web sites (public
sites ending with a jpl.nasa.gov address) may be used for any purpose
without prior permission, subject to the special cases noted below.
Publishers who wish to have authorization may print this page and retain it
for their records; JPL does not issue image permissions on an image by
image basis.

By electing to download the material from this web site the user agrees:

1.  that Caltech makes no representations or warranties with respect to
ownership of copyrights in the images, and does not represent others who
may claim to be authors or owners of copyright of any of the images, and
makes no warranties as to the quality of the images. Caltech shall not be
responsible for any loss or expenses resulting from the use of the images,
and you release and hold Caltech harmless from all liability arising from
such use.

2.  to use a credit line in connection with images. Unless otherwise noted
in the caption information for an image, the credit line should be
"Courtesy NASA/JPL-Caltech."

3.  that the endorsement of any product or service by Caltech, JPL or NASA
must not be claimed or implied.

Special Cases:

*
Prior written approval must be obtained to use the NASA insignia logo (the
blue "meatball" insignia), the NASA logotype (the red "worm" logo) and the
NASA seal. These images may not be used by persons who are not NASA
employees or on products (including Web pages) that are not NASA sponsored.
In addition, no image may be used to explicitly or implicitly suggest
endorsement by NASA, JPL or Caltech of commercial goods or services.
Requests to use NASA logos may be directed to Bert Ulrich, Public Services
Division, NASA Headquarters, Code POS, Washington, DC 20546, telephone
(202) 358-1713, fax (202) 358-4331, email bert.ulrich@hq.nasa.gov.

*
Prior written approval must be obtained to use the JPL logo (stylized JPL
letters in red or other colors). Requests to use the JPL logo may be
directed to the Institutional Communications Office, email
instcomm@jpl.nasa.gov.

*  If an image includes an identifiable person, using the image for
commercial purposes may infringe that person's right of privacy or
publicity, and permission should be obtained from the person. NASA and JPL
generally do not permit likenesses of current employees to appear on
commercial products. For more information, consult the NASA and JPL points
of contact listed above.

*  JPL/Caltech contractors and vendors who wish to use JPL images in
advertising or public relation materials should direct requests to the
Institutional Communications Office, email instcomm@jpl.nasa.gov.

*  Some image and video materials on JPL public web sites are owned by
organizations other than JPL or NASA. These owners have agreed to make
their images and video available for journalistic, educational and personal
uses, but restrictions are placed on commercial uses. To obtain permission
for commercial use, contact the copyright owner listed in each image
caption. Ownership of images and video by parties other than JPL and NASA
is noted in the caption material with each image.
