Photography License

"I need a Photography License agreement for exclusive worldwide rights to use 50 corporate event photographs for our company's marketing materials and social media, with the license period running from January 1, 2025, to December 31, 2025."

Document background
The Photography License agreement is designed for use in New Zealand when one party (the licensor) wishes to grant another party (the licensee) the right to use specific photographic works under defined conditions. This document is essential for protecting intellectual property rights while facilitating commercial use of photographs across various media and platforms. The agreement complies with New Zealand's legal framework, particularly the Copyright Act 1994, Contract and Commercial Law Act 2017, and Privacy Act 2020. It's commonly used by photographers, media companies, businesses, and individuals who need to establish clear terms for the use of photographic works, including scope of use, duration, territory, and compensation structure. The Photography License includes provisions for both digital and print usage, attribution requirements, and quality control measures to protect the photographer's rights and reputation.
