I've seen that in sponsors terms a few times, usually at sponsors with lots of other rules that make it difficult to promote their sites.

Now back to the original topic, I see nothing to gain from watermarking sponsor content. Just properly configure your .htaccess files to prevent hotlinking and the only way to view the images is from your gallery page.

Those that would save them, and upload elsewhere are most likely going to crop off any watermarks or URLs anyway.

Just my 2¢, for what it's worth
