STANDARD TERMS & CONDITIONS

SECTION 1. RIGHTS AND COMMISSIONS

1.1 License Grant to Hip Concepts: You grant Hip Concepts a worldwide, exclusive right to market and sublicense the right to copy, reproduce, display, transmit, broadcast, modify, alter, create derivative works of and publish the whole or part of any Content (as defined below) that you submit to Hip Concepts. These rights may be exercised via any analog or digital means of communication now known or hereafter devised including without limitation via print, websites, other electronic formats, mobile devices, TV, cinema, exhibitions; and, subject to applicable laws, may be used for any purpose of any nature including without limitation for advertising, publicity, promotions, graphic design, marketing within and on products, corporate communications, press articles, press releases, brochures, reports, décor, programs and films. Hip Concepts may sublicense or authorize any third party distributors ("Distributors"), any customer who licenses Accepted Content from Hip Concepts or a Distributor ("Clients") and their customers to exercise the rights described in this Section 1. Hip Concepts and Distributors will determine the terms and conditions of all licenses of Accepted Content granted by them, but will not use or license Accepted Content for uses that are defamatory, pornographic or otherwise illegal and will use commercially reasonable efforts to stop any such use by Clients brought to their attention. Hip Concepts and Distributors may determine how Accepted Content may be marketed and may stop marketing or licensing it at any time. If Hip Concepts notifies you that it has permanently stopped marketing and licensing any particular Accepted Content, the Agreement will be deemed to be terminated only with regards to that Accepted Content.

1.2 Types of Content: This Agreement will apply to photographs, illustrations, or other still visual representations (the "Content").

1.3 Collections and Movement of Accepted Content: Accepted Content may be included in one or more of Hip Concepts’s current or future Content collections ("Collections") made available for licensing or distribution by Hip Concepts or Distributors. When you submit Content you will be asked to specify, where appropriate, the license model(s) through which the Content is available to be licensed. Hip Concepts will determine the Collection and may subsequently move and license Accepted Content through any other license models and/or Collections.

1.4 Reporting and PaymentOn a real-time basis, Hip Concepts will make available to you a transaction report with information related to your account history and sales of your Content. Hip Concepts will make Commission Payments quarterly, within 30 days after the end of each quarter, by electronic funds transfer. No payment will be made unless a minimum of US$36.00 (or local currency alternative) is due to you.

1.5 Aggregated Licensing. Hip Concepts may offer license models and price agreements that will make Content available for use by Clients on a high-volume basis. Accordingly, where appropriate, the amount due to you will be calculated and paid by determining the relative value of the Accepted Content compared to all other Content licensed together with it. In addition, the frequency and methodology for reporting and paying commissions may also vary in order to facilitate such high-volume licensing. In all cases, the Royalty rate applied shall be as set out in the Commercial Terms.

1.6 Marketing Use of Accepted Content. Hip Concepts and Distributors may use Accepted Content to market you, your work, or Hip Concepts, including use in composites that include Content supplied by a third party. No royalties will be paid on these marketing uses.

1.7 Right to Control Claims. Hip Concepts shall have the right to determine, using its best commercial judgment, whether and to what extent to proceed against any third party for any unauthorized use of Accepted Content. You authorize Hip Concepts and Distributors at their expense the exclusive right to make, control, settle and defend any claims related to infringement of copyright in the Accepted Content and any associated intellectual property rights ("Claims"). You agree to provide reasonable cooperation to Hip Concepts and not to unreasonably withhold or delay your cooperation in these Claims. Hip Concepts will not enter into any settlement that will compromise your ownership of the copyright in Accepted Content or that prohibits your future conduct with respect to Accepted Content without your prior written consent. Hip Concepts will pay you Royalties on any settlements it receives from Claims. If Hip Concepts elects not to pursue a Claim, you will have the right to pursue it.

1.8 Use of Accepted Content by you. On a non-exclusive basis, you may use Accepted Content for promoting or documenting you and your work, provided that these uses do not compete with or limit the rights granted to Hip Concepts under the Agreement. You must obtain Hip Concepts’s prior written consent to use rights-managed creative or rights-managed editorial Accepted Content on the cover of a self-promotional book to ensure that your use does not conflict with any licenses that Hip Concepts may have previously issued. Also on a non-exclusive basis, you may use Accepted Content that is available for license through a royalty-free license model in connection with the sale by you of prints, t-shirts and other retail merchandise where the Accepted Content is the focus of the product, so long as you are not licensing or giving away rights to the Accepted Content for anything other than such merchandising. On an exclusive basis you may use Accepted Content and any Similars for limited edition, signed and/or numbered fine art prints (though Hip Concepts may still sell and license prints not signed or numbered).

1.9 Copyright to Accepted Content and other Works. Subject to the rights granted in this Agreement, you will retain all right, title and interest, including copyright, in all Accepted Content including when it is incorporated in a derivative work created by others. Hip Concepts will own all right, title and interest, including all copyrights that arise apart from the copyright in your Accepted Content, to all types of derivative works created by or for Hip Concepts that contain multiple items of Accepted Content and/or other Content. Either you or Hip Concepts on behalf of you may register the copyright in any Accepted Content with the relevant copyright authority.

1.10 Credit and Moral RightsFor the purposes of this Agreement, "Moral Rights" means all non-transferable and non-licensable rights belonging to the original creator of Accepted Content that are automatically conferred by legislation to varying degrees in different countries, which shall include the following rights and all rights of a similar nature: (a) the right to be identified as the creator; (b) the right to object to misrepresentative modification of Accepted Content; and (c) the right to withdraw Accepted Content from the market (except pursuant to the termination provisions of this Agreement). To the extent allowed by law, you waive all your Moral Rights relating to Accepted Content. To the extent such waivers are not permitted by applicable law, you agree not to enforce such moral rights against Hip Concepts, Distributors or Clients. Where you are not the owner of any Moral Rights, you confirm that all Moral Rights have been waived to this same extent or that you have obtained the same commitments not to enforce Moral Rights. Further, you acknowledge and accept that it is common business practice for commercial uses that the creator of Content is not credited and that Content may be modified.

3.4 Surviving Provisions. The termination of this Agreement will not affect the accrued rights and obligations of the Parties existing at the date of termination. Sections 1.13, 1.14, 2 to 6 and the Commercial Terms as may be appropriate, will survive termination of the Agreement, as will any matter arising under the Agreement either expressly or that by its nature is required to be performed or apply after the Term of the Agreement, including the residual right of Hip Concepts to continue exploiting certain Accepted Content taken at an Editorial Event and certain Footage under Section 5.5 and Section 6.2, respectively.
