COPYRIGHT LICENSE AGREEMENT

This Copyright License Agreement (this "Agreement") is made effective as of DATE OF TRANSACTION between platemethodpics.com (COPYRIGHT OWNER) and customer (LICENSEE). 
In the Agreement, the party who is granting the right to use the licensed property will be referred to as "Copyright Owner", and the party who is receiving the right to use the licensed property will be referred to as "Licensee".  The “Copyright Owner” is also known as Joyce Patterson, the owner of platemethodpics.com. The “Licensee” may be the individual completing the transaction, or the client/employer for whom the transaction is completed on their behalf.
The parties agree as follows:

GRANT OF LICENSE. Copyright Owner owns all stock photos, graphic artwork, educational materials, and other digital products for sale on platemethodpics.com. In accordance with this Agreement, Copyright Owner grants Licensee a non-exclusive license to use the digital products (“Artwork”) specified in the transaction. The license provides worldwide use. Unlimited internet distribution or electronic presentation is allowed. Artwork may be used in printed materials with limited print-runs of up to 500,000 copies. Licensee must obtain written permission from Copyright Owner for use of Artwork in print runs greater than 500,000 copies, for which additional fees may apply at the discretion of Copyright Owner.

If the individual completing this transaction is purchasing this license on behalf of their employer or client, the terms of this license agreement apply to the workplace unit or department, or the client, that will be using the Artwork. The individual does not have a right to use the licensed property for personal use, for other clients, or for other employers.
If the individual completing this transaction is purchasing the license for personal use, they may not transfer licensing rights to third parties such as employers or clients.

Copyright Owner retains title and ownership of the Artwork. Licensee will own all rights to materials, products or other works (the Work) created by Licensee in connection with this license. 

RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS. Licensee shall be solely responsible for providing all funding and technical expertise for the development and marketing of the Work in which the licensed property is used. Licensee shall be the sole owner of the Work and all proprietary rights in and to the Work; except, such ownership shall not include ownership of the copyright in and to the Artwork or any other rights to the Artwork not specifically granted in this Agreement. Licensee may not sell Artwork “as is” or as a stand-alone product with minimal modification. For example, simply resizing, cropping, or re-coloring an image is not considered a new work or product.

LICENSING FEE. Licensee shall pay a one-time fee to Copyright Owner without royalty for use of Artwork in perpetuity within the limitations of this agreement.

MODIFICATIONS. Licensee may modify or change the Artwork in any manner. Licensee shall not use Licensed property for any purpose that is unlawful or prohibited by these Terms of the Agreement.

DEFAULTS. If Licensee fails to abide by the obligations of this Agreement, Copyright Owner shall have the option to cancel this Agreement by providing 30 days written notice to Licensee. Licensee shall have the option of preventing the termination of this Agreement by taking corrective action that cures the default, if such corrective action is taken prior to the end of the time period stated in the previous sentence, and if there are no other defaults during such time period.

ARBITRATION. All disputes under this Agreement that cannot be resolved by the parties shall be submitted to arbitration under the rules and regulations of the American Arbitration Association. Either party may invoke this paragraph after providing 30 days written notice to the other party. All costs of arbitration shall be divided equally between the parties. Any award rendered by the arbitrator shall be final and binding on the parties and may be enforced by a court of law.

WARRANTIES. Neither party makes any warranties with respect to the use, sale or other transfer of the Artwork by the other party or by any third party, and Licensee accepts the product "AS IS." In no event will Copyright Owner be liable for direct, indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages, that are in any way related to the Artwork.

TRANSFER OF RIGHTS. This Agreement shall be binding on any successors of the parties. Neither party shall have the right to assign its interests in this Agreement to any other party, unless the prior written consent of the other party is obtained.

INDEMNIFICATION. Each party shall indemnify and hold the other harmless for any losses, claims, damages, awards, penalties, or injuries incurred by any third party, including reasonable attorney's fees, which arise from any alleged breach of such indemnifying party's representations and warranties made under this Agreement, provided that the indemnifying party is promptly notified of any such claims. The indemnifying party shall have the sole right to defend such claims at its own expense. The other party shall provide, at the indemnifying party's expense, such assistance in investigating and defending such claims as the indemnifying party may reasonably request. This indemnity shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

TERMINATION. This Agreement may be terminated by Copyright Owner by providing 30 days written notice to the other party. 
Upon termination of this Agreement, Licensee shall cease reproducing, advertising, marketing and distributing the Work as soon as is commercially feasible. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensee shall have the right to fill existing orders and to sell off existing copies of the Work then in stock. Copyright Owner shall have the right to verify the existence and validity of the existing orders and existing copies of the Work then in stock upon reasonable notice to Licensee.
Termination of this Agreement shall not extinguish any of Licensee's or Copyright Owner's obligations under this Agreement.

ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement contains the entire agreement of the parties and there are no other promises or conditions in any other agreement whether oral or written. This Agreement supersedes any prior written or oral agreements between the parties.

AMENDMENT. This Agreement may be modified or amended, if the amendment is made in writing and is signed by both parties.

SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the remaining provisions shall continue to be valid and enforceable. If a court finds that any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, but that by limiting such provision it would become valid or enforceable, then such provision shall be deemed to be written, construed, and enforced as so limited.

ELECTRONIC NOTICE. Electronic mail and transactions shall be appropriate for the delivery of notices, payments and statements, if any. Notices may also be sent certified or registered mail.

WAIVER OF CONTRACTUAL RIGHT. The failure of either party to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver or limitation of that party's right to subsequently enforce and compel strict compliance with every provision of this Agreement.

APPLICABLE LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Michigan.
