Version: standard-license-v1
This Standard Archive License Agreement ("Agreement") is between Dylan Stanley, offering archive licensing services under the name Dylan Stanley Studio ("Licensor"), and the individual, company, or organization identified as the licensee during checkout ("Licensee").
By checking the box accepting this Agreement and completing the purchase, Licensee agrees to these terms.
Each asset purchased is separately licensed under this Agreement.
Subject to payment of the applicable license fee and compliance with this Agreement, Licensor grants Licensee a:
license to use the purchased photograph, motion work, or other visual asset ("Asset") solely for the permitted uses described below.
"Perpetual" means that an authorized use does not expire solely because time has passed. The license may still terminate if Licensee materially breaches this Agreement.
The license applies only to the named Licensee identified during checkout.
No ownership or copyright is transferred.
The Standard Archive License permits ordinary owned and organic uses by Licensee, including:
These rights apply only to the named Licensee.
The Asset may be incorporated into a larger design, layout, webpage, presentation, publication, video, or other permitted finished work.
The Standard Archive License does not include:
These uses require a separately negotiated Custom License.
Purchasing a Standard Archive License does not guarantee that Custom, exclusive, or expanded rights will later be available.
The license belongs only to the individual, company, or organization identified as Licensee during checkout.
A Licensee may allow its employees and contractors to access the Asset solely as necessary to create permitted work for Licensee.
Those employees and contractors receive no independent license and may not:
An agency, designer, production company, consultant, or other intermediary does not automatically receive rights for its clients.
If an Asset is being licensed for a client, the intended end client must be the named Licensee unless separate written terms say otherwise.
When the purchased Asset is a motion work and the purchase includes a designated companion still, the motion Asset and companion still are licensed together under the same Standard Archive License.
The companion still does not create a second independent license.
It may be used within the same permitted scope as the licensed motion Asset.
Neither the motion Asset nor its companion still may be separately transferred, sublicensed, resold, or relicensed.
Licensee may make reasonable modifications necessary for an authorized use, including:
Modifications do not create ownership in the underlying Asset.
Licensee may not modify the Asset in a manner that is unlawful, defamatory, deceptive, or that falsely suggests endorsement by a depicted person, property owner, business, or other third party.
For editorial, artistic, cultural, independent publishing, creator-led, or similar uses where creator credit can reasonably be displayed, credit to Dylan Stanley Studio is required where reasonably possible.
For ordinary commercial use, credit is requested where reasonably practical but the absence of credit alone will not constitute a material breach of this Agreement.
Where credit is provided, use: Dylan Stanley Studio
unless another credit is supplied with the Asset.
All copyright and ownership in the Asset remain with Dylan Stanley.
The purchase grants only the limited usage rights expressly stated in this Agreement.
Licensee may not:
Possession of a digital file does not transfer copyright.
Licensee may not make the Asset available to others in a manner that allows the Asset to be extracted, downloaded, copied, or reused as a standalone creative asset.
This includes distribution through:
Reasonable technical access by Licensee's employees or service providers for an authorized project is permitted under Section 4.
The Standard Archive License does not authorize use of the Asset to:
Incidental processing by ordinary software used to perform an otherwise permitted task does not by itself constitute prohibited AI training.
Any broader AI or machine-learning rights require separate written permission.
This Agreement licenses Dylan Stanley's copyright interest in the Asset.
Unless expressly stated otherwise, the license does not separately grant rights relating to:
Licensee is responsible for determining whether its particular use requires additional permissions or clearances.
Licensee may not use an Asset in a way that falsely implies that a depicted person, business, property owner, or organization endorses Licensee, its product, or its message.
The Asset may not be used:
Uses involving sensitive subject matter may require additional written approval.
The license becomes effective when payment has been successfully completed.
The applicable license fee is the amount shown at checkout.
Delivery of the Asset does not transfer copyright or expand the rights granted by this Agreement.
Except where required by law or agreed to by Licensor, license fees are non-refundable after the licensed high-resolution Asset has been delivered.
If a technical delivery problem prevents Licensee from receiving the purchased Asset, Licensee should contact Licensor so the file can be redelivered or the issue otherwise resolved.
This is a non-exclusive license.
Licensor may continue to:
A Standard Archive License does not reserve the Asset for Licensee.
If Licensee later requests exclusivity, any previously granted rights remain in effect unless separately resolved in writing.
If Licensee materially violates this Agreement, Licensor may provide written notice describing the breach.
Where the breach can reasonably be cured, Licensee will have ten (10) days after receiving notice to cure it.
If the breach is not cured within that period, the license terminates.
Licensor may terminate the license immediately for intentional:
Upon termination, Licensee must stop new use of the Asset and remove the Asset from uses reasonably capable of being removed.
Termination does not eliminate claims arising from conduct occurring before termination.
The Asset is licensed as provided.
Except for rights expressly granted in this Agreement and to the maximum extent permitted by law, Licensor makes no additional warranty that the Asset is suitable for Licensee's particular project, industry, message, distribution method, or legal requirements.
Licensee is responsible for evaluating whether its intended use complies with this Agreement and whether additional third-party permissions are necessary.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Licensor will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from Licensee's use of the Asset.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Licensor's total liability arising from a particular licensed Asset will not exceed the license fee actually paid for that Asset.
Nothing in this Agreement limits liability where applicable law prohibits such limitation.
Licensee is responsible for its use of the Asset and for materials, claims, designs, copy, products, campaigns, or other content it combines with the Asset.
Licensee is responsible for claims resulting from Licensee's unauthorized use, alteration, distribution, sublicensing, or use outside the scope of this Agreement.
Licensor and Licensee may agree to different or expanded rights in writing.
If a separately executed Custom License or other written agreement expressly conflicts with this Standard Archive License, the separately negotiated written terms control for the rights addressed by that agreement.
This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Ohio, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except where applicable law requires otherwise.
To the extent permitted by law, disputes arising from this Agreement will be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in Franklin County, Ohio.
If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law or severed if necessary.
The remaining provisions will remain in effect.
This Agreement, together with the checkout record identifying the Asset, Licensee, price, and applicable license version, constitutes the agreement governing the Standard Archive License.
No oral statement modifies these terms.
Any modification or expansion of rights must be agreed to in writing by Licensor.
Licensee agrees that checking the acceptance box and completing checkout constitutes acceptance of this Agreement.
The checkout record may record information including:
These records may be retained as evidence of the license granted.
