BigShotz Aerial Panoramic Photography, grants the Client a License to reproduce and publish the Image(s) for the purpose(s), territory(ies)  and time period specified, and on the terms and conditions set out in the Licence and these Terms and Conditions of Use.

The Image(s) or Photograph(s) supplied to a Client for use by the Advertiser named in the License, may only be used for the creative works of that Advertiser.

The License to use the Images begins from the date of full payment of the Invoice. No use may be made of any Images before full payment of the Invoice without BigShotz Panoramic Photography express permission.

The License is granted to the Client and must not be assigned to any third party without BigShotz Panoramic Photography prior written permission but may be sub-licensed by the Client on the same terms and conditions to the Advertiser named in the License.

3. License Fees
License fees (also known as Reproduction Fees) are to be agreed upon prior to publication or other use. In the situation where images are reproduced or otherwise used prior to agreement of a fee then the maximum fee applicable to the use of each image will apply.

4. License Period
Unless otherwise stated on the License, the License Period will be a period of 12 months from the date the Image(s) has/have been supplied to the Client. The commencement of the License Period can be altered by mutual agreement between BigShotz Panoramic Photography and the Client prior to the issue of the License.

The image(s) may not be used after the License Expiry Date (see Paragraph 6 below)

5. Renewals
Before the end of the License Period a License Expiry Notice will be delivered to the Client notifying that the License will expire on the License Expiry Date.

The client must return the Renewal Requirements Form (included with the License Expiry Notice) stating either:

• That the Image(s) are required to be used for an additional period (in which case BigShotz Panoramic Photography will contact the client to discuss a renewal fee and issue a new License)
• That the Image(s) will no longer be used

Failure to respond to the License Expiry Notice will result in an automatic renewal being issued with an accompanying invoice.

6. Photo Credits
Where so indicated on the License, each use of any Image(s) by the Client must be accompanied by an adjacent credit line acknowledging the Photographer’s name, Agency’s name and copyright in the Image(s).

Example: © James Brown/Agency Name

Failure to provide a credit line in the prescribed format (above) will result in a penalty fee equal to 100% of the License Fee originally charged for the Image(s).

11. Digital Image Refunds
BigShotz Panoramic Photography is unable to offer refunds once digital image files have been delivered to you or downloaded from our image server. This is the same policy operated by the music and software industry once music and software files have been downloaded from the internet. After download, BigShotz Panoramic Photography is unable to ascertain whether images have actually been used or not which is why BigShotz Panoramic Photography is not able to offer refunds.

12. Refund policy
