CONSIDERED
AN UNAUTHORIZED USE. Client agrees that reasonable and stipulated
amount
which shall be paid by Client to photographer for use prior to receipt
of payment by Photographer shall be three (3) times Photographer's
customary
fee for such usage.
C. Grant of Rights: Grant of
reproduction rights
hereunder is conditioned upon Client's written acceptance of each term
set forth in this agreement, including but not limited to, receipt of
payment
in full by Photographer and placing of the required copyright notice on
each use of Photographer's work. All rights not expressly licensed to
Client
in writing remain the exclusive property of Photographer. Unless
otherwise
stated above, duration of license is six times the periodicity of the
publication
or ninety (90) days which ever comes first.
D. Space Rates: All usage is quoted
as a minimum
against space. Any additional space rate will be billed as such upon
publication.
E. Return of Photographs, Destruction of
Digital files
& Return of Media: Client assumes all risk for all photographic
material supplied by Photographer from time of receipt by Client to
time
of actual receipt of photographs by Photographer. Client agrees to
return
all such material in undamaged, unaltered and unretouched condition
within
thirty (30) days of receipt, or if a License is granted, within three
(3)
months of receipt by client or by first publication date, whichever is

<<Year-date-of-job>> <<PHOTOGRAPHER>>
in type no
smaller than that of related text must appear adjacent to or within the

fee is fair and reasonable for photographer's loss of recognition and
lack

notice/credit line. For Non-Editorial use, Client will provide
copyright
protection by placing proper copyright notice on any use. Proper notice
may be either "© Client Name, Year-date of first publication", or

delivery service.
I. Loss or Damage: The parties
acknowledge that
it is difficult if not impossible to determine the exact value of each

photograph
is a sum no less than the amount indicated on the first page of this
agreement.

amount is a material consideration for photographer agreeing to deliver
to Client the photographs subject to this agreement. In the event

delivered
herewith, then Photographer shall be entitled to obtain immediate
injunctive
relief to prevent further infringement and that Photographer shall not
be required to post a bond to obtain injunctive relief, or if a bond is
not waiveable, such bond shall not exceed $100.00. Photographer shall
be
entitled to recover the greater of Photographer's actual damages, or
statutory
damages in a sum not to exceed $20,000.00, in cases of non-willful
infringement.

attorneys' fees incurred and related costs in enforcing Photographer's
rights under the United States Copyright Act, and under each federal or
