Absolutely, Sheila — here is a professional, ready‑to‑use Digital Licensing Agreement tailored for an online photography gallery selling downloadable image files. It’s written to be legally clear, artist‑protective, and customer‑friendly.
If you want it customized to your brand name, jurisdiction, or specific licensing tiers, I can refine it further.
