Hailey York of The Mighty Studio
This agreement applies to all photographs and related images (the "Images") created by Hailey York of The Mighty Studio (the "Photographer") on [shoot date] in connection with the collaboration between Jamie Milne, Pottery Barn, and Ali Budd (collectively, the "Participants").
In consideration of the Images being provided, the Participants agree to the following terms:
PERMITTED USE
The Participants may use the Images for purposes directly related to this collaboration, including publicity, editorial coverage, public relations, website features, portfolio use, and social media promotion, subject to all terms of this Agreement.
MANDATORY CREDIT
Every use of every Image must include credit to the Photographer. There are no exceptions.
The required credit is:
"Photo by Hailey York of The Mighty Studio"
This credit must accompany all uses of the Images, including but not limited to social media, websites, digital publications, print publications, marketing materials, press materials, presentations, and promotional content.
Failure to provide the required credit constitutes a breach of this Agreement.
SOCIAL MEDIA REQUIREMENTS
Any social media post containing the Images must:
• Include the credit "Photo by Hailey York of The Mighty Studio"; and
• Tag @themightystudio on the post itself.
A credit in the caption alone does not satisfy this requirement. The tag must remain attached to the post for as long as the post remains public.
NO SALE, LICENSING, OR COMMERCIAL EXPLOITATION WITHOUT WRITTEN APPROVAL
The Images may not be sold, licensed, sublicensed, transferred, distributed for compensation, provided to third parties, monetized, commercially exploited, or otherwise used for profit without the Photographer's prior written consent.
If any commercial opportunity involving the Images arises, including but not limited to advertising campaigns, paid media, sponsorships, brand partnerships, licensing arrangements, product packaging, merchandising, resale, publication for profit, stock photography use, or any other revenue-generating activity, the Participants must first consult the Photographer and obtain written approval before any such use occurs.
Any approved commercial use shall require a separate written agreement and payment of a licensing fee to the Photographer, negotiated and agreed upon in advance.
OWNERSHIP AND COPYRIGHT
The Photographer retains sole and exclusive ownership of the Images and all copyrights and intellectual property rights associated with them.
Nothing in this Agreement transfers ownership of the Images to any Participant.
The Photographer reserves the unrestricted right to use, reproduce, publish, display, market, advertise, license, distribute, sell, and otherwise exploit the Images for any lawful purpose.
MODEL AND LIKENESS RELEASE
The Participants grant the Photographer the irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide right to use their names, likenesses, appearances, voices, identities, and any recognizable depiction of them as they appear in the Images for any lawful purpose, including portfolio use, editorial use, advertising, marketing, commercial licensing, publication, stock photography, and sale.
The Participants waive any right to inspect or approve the Images, any edits, crops, retouching, alterations, composites, accompanying text, or the manner in which the Images are used.
NO COMPENSATION
The Participants acknowledge that no additional compensation, royalties, commissions, residuals, licensing fees, or other payments shall be owed by the Photographer for any use, licensing, publication, sale, or other exploitation of the Images.
SUCCESSORS AND AUTHORIZED USERS
All rights granted to the Photographer under this Agreement extend to the Photographer's employees, contractors, agents, representatives, licensees, successors, assigns, and any person or entity authorized by the Photographer.
GOVERNING LAW
This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario and the laws of Canada applicable therein.
ENTIRE AGREEMENT
This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties regarding the Images and supersedes all prior discussions, understandings, or agreements relating to the Images.
By signing below, each Participant acknowledges that they have read, understood, and voluntarily agree to the terms of this Agreement.
