If you have been issued media credentials, you have a limited, non-exclusive, and nontransferable license to take and use photographs of the Event, but not to imply any endorsement or relationship between a third-party and NECANN® . Images taken at NECANN of Exhibitors, attendees, staff or programming will not be used or sold for advertising or commercial use of any kind, without the express written consent of NECANN. Images may be used in news or editorial context in print, digital or broadcast media without prior notice to NECANN; all images used will be clearly identified as taken at NECANN with a link to necann.com prominently displayed on the webpage.
