The assets in the Public Media Bank are the exclusive intellectual property of SSC and protected by copyright. They are free to download and use on the following conditions:

The asset source (usually SSC) must be specified for each publication, for example “Photo: SSC” or “Copyright: SSC”. If a photographer is stated, his or her name should be included as well.

Please see contact info on the bottom of this page for such requests. SSC reserves the right to revoke any usage licenses in individual cases at any time, with the result that the downloaded assets must not be used anymore.

Any change, processing, assembly or manipulation of the assets is not permitted and requires the prior written consent of SSC.

The assets must not be reproduced in a misleading context or in a manner that could damage SSC. The assets must also not be used in connection with criminal or other illegal acts.

SSC reserves the right to investigate any suspected improper use and to delete and change the data contained in the database at any time. The deleted data must then no longer be used.

If you cannot find suitable assets or if you have questions, please contact SSC.
