FAQ: Can I cancel my membership? (minimum term)

FAQ: Can I restart my membership?
Yes, you can restart your membership either via your online account or by buying a new Membership. You will then have access not only to new credits but also any from a previous membership that haven't been used (provided they haven't expired).
FAQ: What can I use the graphic for? Can I publish on my blog?
Members have a Personal Educational License as defined by the User Terms. This allows content to be used for your personal interest and education or for classroom hand-outs if you are a teacher. It also allows use on personal non-commercial blogs, websites or social media. A website is considered to be non-commercial if it has less than 1000 unique visitors a month or for which less than Euro 200 advertising revenue accrues each month. The license does NOT allow an artist to use Graphic News copyright work as visual reference to create their own images for commercial use. For this a professional license is needed.
FAQ: What if the graphic I want isn't available as a JPG?
Contact us. We can reissue archive graphics (produced without JPG). With interactives (which obviously do not have a JPG version) we may be able to point you in the direction of a static equivalent (with a JPG).
