Uploading Images
Uploading to Graphic Leftovers is a very simple process. We offer fast multiple image uploading and FTP uploading for sellers with large portfolios. Graphic Leftovers supports IPTC metadata and accept iSyndica submissions.

Quality Requirements
To keep Graphic Leftovers filled with quality images we will be considering the following criteria:

• File preparation
• Production Quality
• Content
• Customization

If for some reason your submission does not meet one or more of these requirements, then your submission may not get approved. Some of these reasons might be:

• If it is similar to other images already on the site
• If the files are corrupt or carry a virus
• If the item is difficult to use or implement
  

Legal Requirements
As a seller you are responsible for only selling images that belong to you. By becoming a seller, you are making an agreement not only with Graphic Leftovers but also with anyone who purchases and downloads your work that you own full copyright and have appropriately licensed any auxiliary content. It is essential that you understand Graphic Leftovers Legal Requirements before you begin uploading files. We take copyright violation very seriously. If we discover that any of your images have violated copyright, we will remove ALL your portfolio from Graphic Leftovers, seize all earnings and commissions, and in some cases take legal action.

Copyright
You can find a full definition of copyright on the U.S. Copyright office website and how it relates to international copyright relations. Here is a short description: Copyright is a legal concept that gives the creator of an original work exclusive rights to it. The copyright holder has the right to choose if anyone else can use, adapt or resell their work and have the right to be credited for that work. Only the copyright holder of a work may do the following:

• Make copies of the work and distribute them
• Create derivative works or alter the work in any way
• Sell the work in either it's original version or in an altered form
• The creator of a work retains copyright to it even if they don't expressly tell you so

Copyright Infringement
A copyright infringement or violation is the unauthorized use of work that is covered by copyright. If you use, alter or sell someone else's work, you are violating their copyright and essentially breaking the law. Here are some requirements to comply with copyright violations:

• Your art must NOT include any brand names, logos or trademarks. For example: You cannot use an Apple or McDonalds logo, even if you have recreated it, photographed it, or altered it. You cannot use a photo of a watch if the brand name of the watch is legible.
• Your art must NOT be based on any other file. For example: You cannot submit an image that is similar to an image on an established website.
• You must NOT upload files that have been decompiled from another file. For example: You cannot decompile a file and resell it, even if you alter it significantly.
• You must NOT upload a file that uses free or purchased components from any other source without an express license to do so. For example: You cannot download a file then use part or all of it in a file for sale.
• You must NOT upload a file that uses government or military property. For example: You cannot submit a file that contains a presidential seal or military insignia.
• You must NOT upload images that you purchased or downloaded and then resell it. For example: You cannot submit a file that you have purchased or downloaded from another stock site.

Graphic Leftovers offers three types of licenses:

The Standard License grants buyers a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to make use of and display the image in a website or print project. A maximum of 10,000 copies incorporating the image may be made.

• for redistribution, resell, lease, license, sub-license or offer free downloads of the image in its present form or in a modified form to any third party.
