Media will be delivered via an online gallery or digital file delivery system provided by the COMPANY.

All photographs, videos, footage, and media created by the COMPANY remain the exclusive intellectual property of Zamora Digital Studios.

This agreement does not constitute a work-for-hire arrangement under U.S. Copyright Law.

The CLIENT is granted a limited usage license as described in this agreement.

5. License Grant

The COMPANY grants the CLIENT a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and non-sublicensable license to use the delivered media solely for marketing the specific rental property for which the media was created.

The license applies only to the property specified at the time of booking and may not be used for any other property or purpose.

6. Permitted Use

During the active license period, the CLIENT may use the media to market the rental property on:

  • Property management websites

  • Rental listing platforms (including but not limited to Zillow Rentals, Apartments.com, Airbnb, Vrbo, etc.)

  • Property-specific marketing materials

All usage must directly promote the specific rental property for which the media was created.

7. Property Management Company Use

If the CLIENT is a property management company, the license granted under this agreement permits the management company to use the media for marketing the rental property while they are the active management company for that property.

If the management company ceases to manage the property, their license to use the media immediately terminates.

Property management companies may not use the media to promote their own management services or business without obtaining a separate license from the COMPANY.

8. License Duration

The license period begins on the date the media is first made available to the CLIENT through the ZDS portal (the gallery delivery date).

The standard license granted under this agreement remains valid for twelve (12) months from the date of media delivery.

Continued use of the media beyond this period requires renewal of the license through the COMPANY.

This includes but is not limited to:

  • Facebook Ads

  • Instagram Ads

  • YouTube Ads

  • Google Ads

  • Boosted social media posts

  • Any other paid digital or print advertising

Use of the media for paid advertising requires a separate commercial advertising license issued by the COMPANY.

10. Real Estate Sales Restrictions

Media produced for rental marketing may not be used to promote the sale of the property.

If the property owner decides to list the property for sale, the media may not be used for real estate listing marketing.

Property owners may not provide the media to a real estate agent or brokerage for the purpose of marketing the property for sale.

Use of the media for real estate listing marketing requires a separate real estate marketing license from the COMPANY.

11. Third-Party Restrictions

The CLIENT may not sell, sublicense, assign, or transfer the media to any third party.

This includes but is not limited to:

  • Other property management companies

  • Real estate agents or brokerages

  • Builders or developers

  • Designers or contractors

  • Media outlets

Third parties wishing to use the media must obtain a separate licensing agreement directly from the COMPANY.

12. Property Readiness

The CLIENT is responsible for ensuring that the property is fully prepared and photo-ready at the scheduled appointment time.

The COMPANY is not responsible for issues related to cleaning, staging, furniture placement, lighting conditions, or landscaping.

If the property is not ready at the scheduled time, the COMPANY may proceed with the shoot as scheduled or require the CLIENT to reschedule.

13. Reshoots

The COMPANY strives to deliver high-quality media that meets professional standards.

Reshoots may be offered at the COMPANY's discretion in cases of technical issues or errors directly caused by the COMPANY.

Requests for reshoots must be submitted within three (3) days of delivery of the media.

Reshoots requested due to changes in staging, weather conditions, or CLIENT preference may be subject to additional fees.

14. Cancellation & Rescheduling

The CLIENT must provide at least 48 hours notice for any cancellation or rescheduling requests.

Cancellations made within 48 hours of the scheduled appointment will incur a 50% cancellation fee.

If the COMPANY arrives at the property and the shoot cannot proceed due to denied access, the property not being ready, or cancellation upon arrival, the CLIENT will be responsible for the full service fee.

The COMPANY reserves the right to reschedule appointments due to unsafe weather conditions or unforeseen circumstances. A reschedule request may be submitted at any time by the COMPANY, and it is the CLIENT's responsibility to respond before the scheduled shoot date. If no response is received, the appointment will proceed as originally scheduled. If weather conditions upon arrival do not permit the work to be completed, the appointment will be treated as a cancellation upon arrival, and the CLIENT will be responsible for the full service fee as described in this section.

15. Independent Contractor Status

The COMPANY operates as an independent contractor and is not an employee, partner, or agent of the CLIENT.

Nothing in this agreement shall be interpreted as creating a partnership, joint venture, or employer-employee relationship between the parties.

16. Limitation of Liability

The COMPANY shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages related to the services provided.

The COMPANY's total liability for any claim related to this agreement shall not exceed the total amount paid for the services.
