Commercial Photography License

"I need a Commercial Photography License Agreement for a one-time usage of 20 product photographs on my e-commerce website and social media channels, with the license period starting from January 15, 2025."

Document background
The Commercial Photography License Agreement is essential for businesses and individuals seeking to use professional photographs for commercial purposes in Switzerland. This document is particularly relevant when a photographer or photography studio grants specific usage rights to clients for marketing, advertising, or other commercial applications. The agreement must comply with Swiss federal laws, particularly the Copyright Act (URG) and Code of Obligations (OR), while addressing modern commercial photography needs. It typically includes comprehensive terms covering usage rights, territorial scope, duration, modification rights, and payment structures. The document serves to protect both the photographer's intellectual property rights and the client's commercial interests, providing clear guidelines for permitted uses and restrictions.
