TERMS AND CONDITIONS/RELEASE OF LIABILITY

This Denver Lens Licensing Agreement (the “Agreement”) is effective immediately between Denver Lens LLC (“Service Provider”) and customer (“Customer”). All references to the Customer in this Agreement shall include Customer’s parent companies, affiliates, and subsidiaries. This Agreement is in effect for all current and future bookings unless specified otherwise.

PLEASE BE ADVISED: THIS AGREEMENT CONTAINS PROVISIONS THAT GOVERN HOW CLAIMS BETWEEN YOU AND DENVER LENS CAN BE BROUGHT. THESE PROVISIONS REQUIRE THAT YOU SUBMIT YOUR CLAIMS AGAINST DESERT LENS TO BINDING AND FINAL ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS, GROUP OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING.

Scope of this Agreement. This Agreement applies to any and all photographs, graphics, digital assets, or digital images created or taken by Service Provider and delivered to the Customer (collectively known as “Deliverables”). This Agreement governs the relationship between the parties to this Agreement, and in no event shall any other exchange, amend or otherwise modify the terms of this Agreement unless agreed to in writing.

Ownership Rights of Deliverables and Limited Licensing Rights of Customer: All Deliverables and rights relating to them, including copyright and ownership rights in the media in which the Deliverables are stored, remain the sole and exclusive property of Service Provider. This Agreement provides the Customer with a limited license to reproduce, publicly display, and distribute the Deliverables only for promotional or advertising purposes directly related to the rental, short-term rental, or sale of the Property. Deliverables used for any purpose not directly related to the sale of the property is prohibited without the expressed written permission of Service Provider and the payment of additional fees. Promotional and advertising material includes business cards, website banners, brochures marketing the property, etc. Use of material by builder, architects, designers, stagers, homeowners, or others is prohibited without the expressed written permission of Service Provider.

Deliverables may be uploaded to any MLS listing service solely for promotion of the property during the pendency of this Agreement. However, regardless of any terms and conditions of the MLS, at no time does this Agreement provide Customer with the right to transfer copyright, or any other exclusive rights as provided by the Copyright Act 17 U.S.C 106. Deliverables may contain copyright management information (CMI) at the discretion of Service Provider in the form of either 1) a copyright notice © and/or 2) other copyright and ownership information embedded in the metadata or elsewhere, unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties. Removing and/or altering such information is prohibited and constitutes violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and Customer will be responsible to Service Provider for any penalties and awards available under the statute.

Unless otherwise specifically provided elsewhere in this document or other signed agreement between the parties, any grant of rights is limited to a term of either one (1) year from the date of this Agreement, or (2) at the termination of Customer’s representation of the Property, whichever occurs first. Further use of images beyond one (1) year requires Service Provider written permission and potential additional fees.

The images issued under this agreement may NOT be transferred to subsequent listing agents or the property owner, including in the event that the property does not sell under the terms of the current exclusive listing agreement. It is ILLEGAL to copy or reproduce the photographs, videos, website content, etc. issued under this agreement without Service Provider permission, and violators of this Federal Law will be subject to its civil and criminal penalties.

Service Provider and the Deliverables or any other deliverables prepared by Service Provider shall not be deemed a work for hire as defined under Copyright Law. All rights granted to Customer are contractual in nature and are expressly defined by this Agreement.

Creation: The manner and method of creating any Deliverables is solely at the discretion of Service Provider and the Customer has no right to control Service Provider manner and method of performance under this Agreement.

Service Provider sole obligation will be to replace the Deliverables at a suitable resolution but in no event will Service Provider be liable for poor reproduction quality, delays, or consequential damages. Unless otherwise specifically provided, Service Provider is not responsible to provide images 1) larger than 8’x10’ at 300 dpi or 2) in a format higher than 8-bit or in RAW format.
