-
All photographs, videos, edits, and associated materials created by DavidE Photography (“we”, “us”) are protected by the Copyright Act 1968 (Cth). Unless a separate written agreement says otherwise, copyright in all works remains with DavidE Photography. It is not transferred when a client pays for a session, receives files, or downloads a gallery.
-
We hold the moral rights of the creator. These are the right to be attributed, the right not to have our work falsely attributed to someone else, and the right to the integrity of our work. Clients and third parties must not remove credits or watermarks, or alter, crop, filter, or edit our images in a way that distorts or prejudices our reputation, without our written consent.
-
On full payment, clients receive a perpetual, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to:
print delivered images for personal use;
share images on personal and business social media, with DavidE Photography credited or tagged in each post.
-
Without our express written licence, you must not:
sell, sub-license, or transfer the images;
use the images for advertising, merchandise, or other commercial purposes beyond the social media use above;
submit the images to competitions, publications, or awards;
edit, filter, re-colour, or screenshot images, or use low-resolution copies in place of delivered files;
use the images to train, test, or prompt any artificial intelligence or machine-learning system.
-
We may use images and footage for our portfolio, website, social media, marketing, and editorial submissions. We will not use images to promote any third-party business without your written permission. Clients who do not want their images used publicly must tell us in writing before the session.
-
Clients must not supply music, artwork, logos, or other material for use in photo or video work unless they own it or hold the necessary licences. The client is responsible for any third-party rights in material they supply.
-
Commercial, advertising, and extended-use licences are available on request. Fees depend on the scope, duration, territory, and media of use.
-
If you believe our work has been used without permission, or you wish to report a suspected infringement, email davidephotography26@gmail.com with the URL or location of the use and your contact details.
