Document background
The Photo Licensing Contract is essential for businesses and individuals seeking to legally use professional photographs while protecting the rights of photographers under Danish law. This document is typically used when a business needs to acquire rights to use professional photographs for commercial purposes, marketing materials, or other business applications. The contract ensures compliance with Danish copyright law (Ophavsretsloven) and relevant EU regulations, particularly concerning data protection and personal rights. It specifies crucial elements such as usage scope, territorial limits, duration, and fee structures, while maintaining the photographer's underlying copyright. The agreement is particularly relevant in today's digital age where image usage needs to be clearly defined across multiple platforms and territories.
