Adam Price Photography Terms of Service & License Agreement
The terms and conditions of this Agreement apply to all Services and Photographs/Videos delivered to the Client during the Terms defined below. Purchasing products or services from Adam Price Photography (Photographer) means the Client agrees to the following:
Assistants. Photographer reserves the right to bring a number of assistants to Client’s premises to help provide the Services (photography, videography, drone photography, drone videography, 3D virtual tours).
Client Responsibilities.
Site Access. The Client shall provide Photographer and any assistants with access to its premises to the extent necessary for the performance of the Services. If access is not granted upon arrival, a $50 cancellation fee applies and the shoot will be rescheduled.
Client or home owner is responsible for making sure the property is "photo-ready" before the photographers arrival. If the property is not and it's deemed excessive by the photographer, the shoot will be cancelled and a $50 cancelation fee will apply.
Client or home owner is responsible for notifying neighbors of potential drone operations. This is not required by the FAA and is simply a courtesy. Drones are allowed to operate in all airspaces in the United States under certain conditions. Controlled airspaces (such as those near airports, military bases, schools and federal parks) require special airspace authorizations and Adam Price Photography will secure those in advance should they be needed. Common drone myths and facts can be found here: https://www.faa.gov/uas/
Waivers, Releases, and Permission. The Client shall provide Photographer with any necessary licenses, permissions, waivers, releases, or consents, including those relating to publicity and privacy, to photograph the property, persons, and/or items when required. For real estate, this applies to community amenities. Client hereby waives any rights to privacy, and grants permission to photograph the property, persons, and/or items purchased.
Term. This Agreement is effective immediately and will continue until the Services are completed and Final Payment is provided, unless earlier terminated in accordance with this Agreement.
Copyright. All Photographs shall be the sole and exclusive property of the Photographer, including but not limited to all copyrights and other intellectual property rights therein, in perpetuity, throughout the universe. All rights not expressly granted herein shall be reserved by the Photographer. Modification of Photographs and/or incorporation of Photographs in any layout, concept, reproduction, or publication shall not constitute a Joint Work. Photographer shall have the sole power to enforce its copyrights and any other intellectual property, including without limitation all registration, renewal, and reversion rights, and the right to register and sue to enforce such rights against infringers.
Limited License. Photographer, on the condition of full compliance with this Agreement, including receipt of the Final Payment and Attribution duties, hereby grants to Client a non-exclusive, fully paid-up, and royalty-free right and license to use the Photographs for the purpose of promoting the real estate listing and their own personal real estate services without expiration.
Client Publications. Client may use the Photographs in Client Publications without expiration.
The term “Client Publications” shall be restricted to mean only reproduction and publication of the Photographs done solely by the Client, whether in print or electronic form, such as use of the Photographs in the Client’s websites, social media pages, emails, competition entries, portfolios, annual reports, brochures, pamphlets, or posters, and whose audience is employees, customers, shareholders, or the general public.
Outside Publications. Client may NOT use the Photographs in Outside Publications.
The Term “Outside Publications” shall include all reproductions of the Photographs other than Client Publications. Outside Publications include, but are not limited to, advertising or editorial use of the Photographs in third-party websites, newspapers, billboards, books, or magazines, whether in print or electronic media, regardless of whether the Client pays or instructs the Outside Publication or any other person to engage in such use.
Proof Images. Photographs designated as “Proofs” or “Preview” shall be kept confidential. Proofs shall not be made public, or otherwise released outside of Client’s business, for any reason. Only final versions of the Photographs may be made public or shared with anyone other than Client, Client’s members, or Client’s employees.
Infringement. Any use of the Photographs beyond the terms of this Limited License, without permission of the Photographer, by any person or entity shall constitute copyright infringement.
Client’s Edits to Photographs. The terms of this Agreement shall apply to any edits, changes, modifications, or revisions made to the Photographs, and any duplicated work created in the future regardless of the extent or amount of edits, changes, modifications, or revisions, whether made by the Client or any other person or entity.
Attribution. Client agrees, for any and all use of the Photographs, including Client Publications and Outside Publications, to conspicuously indicate Photographer as the source of the Photographs. Failure to properly credit or tag Photographer will constitute copyright infringement.
The following notations, or similar, on or near the photo in legible text are acceptable: “Adam Price”, “Photo(s) by Adam Price”
Use of Photographer’s Name. Photographer hereby grants to Client and its affiliates, and each of their respective direct and indirect successors, licensees, and assigns, the right to use Photographer’s name, in connection with the Photographs.
Additional Usage. If Client, or any other person or entity, wishes to make any additional uses of the photographs not covered in this Agreement, Client or other person or entity shall obtain permission from the Photographer and pay an additional fee to be agreed upon if necessary.
Improper Use Prohibited. Photographer reserves the right to halt the use of Photographs in any publication that could reasonably be deemed offensive or improper, including but not limited to use of the Photographs in virtual backgrounds, political advertisements, propaganda, or pornography works. Similarly, Photographer reserves the right to revoke Client’s right to use Photographer’s name, in connection with the Photographs. The determination of whether a publication is improper shall be at the sole discretion of Photographer, provided it is reasonable and in a good faith attempt to avoid negative publicity.
Estimates and Requests for Additional Work. The fees quoted by the Photographer are for the original job description as presented by the Client. Any subsequent changes, whether made orally or in writing, may result in additional charges. The expenses are estimated in good faith. Actual expenses, which may be greater or less than estimated, will be invoiced. Requests for additional work, such as additional images or subject matter, will be added to the estimated cost and invoiced.
Due Date. Client shall make payment in full for the cost of all Services and Photographs provided (“Final Payment”) to Photographer before receiving the final product(s).
Cancellation and Postponements. In the event of a cancellation or postponement of a shoot by the Client, or its affiliates or agents, Client shall pay all expenses incurred by the Photographer up to the time of cancellation. If a shoot is canceled or postponed on the same day of the Photographer’s departure for the shoot, the $50 Cancellation Fee shall be applied. Any Deposit or payments made will be deducted from any such Cancellation Fee and will become non-refundable to Client upon cancellation. If the amount of the Deposit or payments made exceeds the Cancellation Fee, the excess shall be refunded to Client. Any Cancellation Fee owed to Photographer must be paid within 30 days from cancellation.
Delay. Failure by the Client, or its affiliates or agents, to provide Photographer with site access shall constitute a cancellation, and Photographer shall be entitled to the Cancellation Fee. The cost of delays caused by the Client, or its affiliates or agents, to the extent they cause additional cost to the Photographer, shall be added to Photographer’s Final Invoice.
Either party may terminate this Agreement on written notice to the other party if such other party materially breaches this Agreement and fails to cure such breach within fifteen (15) days after receiving notice of such breach. Any rights or obligations of the parties in this Agreement which, by their nature, should survive termination or expiration of this Agreement, as well as any other representations, warranties, indemnification obligations, and dispute resolution provisions, will survive any such termination or expiration.
Notice. Any Notice required under, or related to, this Agreement shall be effective if sent by email to the email addresses provided by the Client and Photographer. Notice shall be deemed received as of the day the email is sent.
Aesthetic Disclaimer. Client is aware of Photographer’s personal style and portfolio and waives any right to refuse payment on the basis of dissatisfaction with the end result. No refunds will be provided unless for a material breach of this Agreement.
Representation and Warranties. To the best of its knowledge, Photographer hereby represents and warrants that each Photograph to be provided is Photographer’s sole and original creation and will not infringe or otherwise violate any right of any third party.
Embargoes. If Client wishes to temporarily prevent publication by Photographer of the Photographs, Client shall make an embargo request. Photographer will offer a 30-day courtesy embargo for publication at no cost if Client requests an embargo before the date of photography.
