This Image Licensing Agreement is made on [Contract Date] between [Company Name] ("Photographer") and [Client Name] ("Client").
1. The Images
Photographer licenses to Client the images listed here (the "Images"), delivered as high-resolution files: [list each image by file name or description, for example: HD-014, HD-017, and HD-022 from the Harbor at Dawn series].
For each image, Photographer will tell Client in writing whether it holds model or property releases for the people and places shown.
2. License
On full payment, Photographer grants Client a license to use the Images as follows:
- Media: Client's own website, social media, email marketing, and printed brochures
- Territory: worldwide
- Term: two years from the date above
Any other use, such as paid print advertising, packaging, or billboards, needs a separate license.
3. Exclusivity
This license is non-exclusive, and Photographer may license the Images to others. Exclusive use is available for an additional fee, agreed in writing.
4. Fee and Payment
The license fee is $300 per image, due in full on signing. The license takes effect, and the Images are delivered, once paid.
5. Credit
Where practical, Client will credit the Images as "Photo: [Company Name]" next to the image or in the credits. If a credit is left out by mistake, Client will add it where it can once told.
6. Permitted Edits
Client may crop and resize the Images, and adjust them to fit each medium. Client won't otherwise alter them, such as by compositing, retouching, or changing their colors, without Photographer's written permission, and won't use them in a way that misrepresents the people or places shown.
7. Restrictions
Client won't:
- Sublicense, transfer, sell, or share the Images with others, except printers and agencies working on Client's own materials
- Use the Images in a logo or trademark, or as the main content of products for sale, such as posters or merchandise
- Use the Images to train, fine-tune, or test any artificial intelligence or machine learning model, or as input to generate new images, without Photographer's written permission
Client is responsible for any use that needs a release Photographer has said it doesn't hold.
8. Ownership
Photographer keeps the copyright in the Images and all rights not granted in this agreement.
9. Renewal and End of the License
Client may renew the license for another term at Photographer's rates at the time, by asking in writing before the term ends. When the license ends, Client will stop any new use of the Images and remove them from its websites and social media within 30 days. Printed materials already distributed don't need to be recalled. Use beyond this license is billed at Photographer's standard rate for that use.
10. Warranties and Limitation of Liability
Photographer confirms that it owns the Images and has the right to license them. Each party's total liability under this agreement is limited to the license fee paid.
11. Agreement
This agreement is governed by the laws of [state or country]. It is the entire agreement between the parties, and may only be changed in writing. By signing below, both parties agree to these terms.
