  • If published on social media, credit to the photographer (e.g. "Photo by imative.co") is required.

  • For any usage outside personal/private context, the photographer must be contacted in advance for permission. Additional licensing fees may apply.

​

2. Commercial Use – Film

  • The agreed price includes the right to use the film as defined in the project agreement or quote.

  • Any extended or repeated use (e.g. repurposing content for a new campaign) requires a new license. A reuse fee starting at 50% of the original fee applies.

​

3. Commercial Use – Photography

  • The agreed price includes the right to use photos as defined in the project agreement.

​

4. General Terms

  • Image/Video Selection: The photographer selects the final material to be delivered based on quality and consistency.

  • Approval of Deliverables: The client is responsible for reviewing delivered materials without undue delay. Once material is used, it is considered approved.
