Soora is an online store that offers royalty free licensing for digital media such as photos and videos. Soora.store was developed to serve as an e-commerce platform that offers a safe and secure mechanism to sell licensing for photos and videos.
Soora was created by the Samir Kassir Foundation in order to promote the work of Lebanese photojournalists and support them while providing access to a vast library of exclusive media content for journalists and creatives worldwide that can be used, royalty-free, for all commercial purposes in digital or print form.
Soora.store offers royalty free licensing. It is a type of license that offers customers the ability to use images without paying additional royalties per use of the image or photo (percentage of profits generated using the licensed media).
Additionally, licensing from Soora allows you to use the content as many times, and for as long as you choose.
Standard license offers all that is typically needed for creative usage such as:
Unlimited web distribution.
Newspaper and magazine printing.
Web video production.
Print out for personal use and private events.
Enhanced license offers the previous plus additional rights that allow for:
Merchandising: Using the images as printed material on items for sale, such as Clothes, bags, packaging.
Outdoor advertising: Using the images in promotional materials on billboards and electronic boards outdoors and in public spaces.
Video production for television and cinema: Using the images/videos in large scale production intended as a product for commercial television or cinema.
Packs are a way of saving money when you want to buy multiple licenses. Instead of paying the full individual price for each license, buying a pack will reduce the price per license up to 50%.
There are two available pack options for either photo or video licenses. Packs of 5 provide a 30% discount, and packs of 25 that provide a 50% discount on the price per 1 license.
The credits you receive from purchasing a pack are not permanent. Credits have an expiration period of 1 year.
