Terms and Conditions
1. Purpose and Definition. Photographer hereby agrees to entrust the Photographs listed on the front of this form to the Client for the purpose of review

2. Ownership and Copyright. Copyright and all reproduction rights in the Photographs, as well as the ownership of the physical Photographs themselves,
are the property of and reserved to the Photographer. Client acknowledges that the Photographs shall be held in confidence and agrees not to project, copy,
store, or modify directly or indirectly any of the Photographs submitted (whether such modification is of the Photograph itself or involves combining the
Photograph with other images or graphic or written elements, including but not limited to comping for clients) without the express permission of the
Photographer, nor will Client permit any third party to do any of the foregoing. Reproduction shall be allowed only upon Photographer’s written
permission specifying usage and fees. In the event of the licensing of any usage rights by Client, payment shall be made within thirty (30) days of the date

3. Acceptance. Client accepts the listing and values set forth for the Photographs as accurate if not objected to in writing by return mail immediately after
receipt of the Photographs. Any terms on this form not objected to in writing within 10 days shall be deemed accepted.
4. Loss, Theft or Damage. Client agrees to assume full responsibility and be strictly liable as an insurer for loss, theft, or damage to the Photographs and to
insure the Photographs fully from the time of shipment from the Photographer to the Client until the time of return receipt by the Photographer. Client
further agrees to return all of the Photographs at its own expense by registered mail or bonded courier which provides proof of receipt. Reimbursement for
loss, theft, or damage to any Photograph(s) shall be in the amount of the value entered for that Photograph(s) on the front of this form. Both Client and

5. Holding Fees. The Photographs are to be returned to the Photographer within fourteen (14) days after delivery to the Client. Each Photograph held
beyond fourteen (14) days from delivery shall incur a weekly holding fee of $5 (Five Dollars) if it is color and $1 (One Dollar) if it is black and white.

both parties and stated in the Invoice. If such copyright notice, which also serves as authorship credit, is required hereunder but is omitted, the Client shall
pay as liquidated damages triple the usage fee agreed to between the parties instead of the agreed upon usage fee.
8. Tear Sheets. Client shall provide Photographer with two (2) copies of tear sheets of any authorized usage.

release.
