What are my licensing options? What do these mean?
Royalty-Free (RF) Royalty-free means that the licence fee is paid once and there is no need for the buyer to pay additional royalties if the content is reused.

Exclusive vs non-Exclusive options
Exclusive licensing means that only Photoency and our distribution partners can license the image(s) commercially and you (photographer) have never licensed the content commercially before, either directly or through another licensing platform. For instance, if you have made your photos available in the past through Creative Commons licensing or through another vendor such as iStock, Shutterstock, Alamy, etc., then these specific photos would not qualify as exclusive to Photoency.
Non-Exclusive licensing means that in addition to Photoency, you can license your images through other commercial licensing vendors,
