Terms
Every job
- I, Nick Waite (Waite RE Media LLC), own the copyright in all photos, video, aerials and tours I create.
- Your license starts when the job is paid in full.
- The license is yours. It is non-exclusive and cannot be sold, transferred or passed along. Anyone else who wants to use the images can license them from me directly.
- Please do not edit the images in a way that misrepresents the property.
- I may show the work in my portfolio, on my site and on social. If you need images held until a listing or launch is public, ask and I will.
- You receive the finished, edited set. Raw files and unselected frames are not part of the delivery.
Real estate listings
- Licensed to the agent who ordered and their brokerage, to market that listing anywhere: MLS, listing sites, social, print, email and ads. That includes granting the MLS the rights its rules require for listing content.
- The listing license runs until the property sells or comes off the market. After that, the agent can keep using the images for their own promotion.
- Sellers, buyers, builders, stagers, designers and other agents are not covered. If another agent relists the property, they can license the existing photos for half the original photo package price.
Airbnb and short-term rentals
- Licensed to the owner or host who booked, and a property manager acting for them, to market that property as a rental on any platform, their own site, social, print and ads.
- The license runs for as long as you own or manage the property. It does not pass to a new owner.
- Selling the property with the images, or use by a designer, builder or brand, is a separate license.
Architecture, interiors and commercial
- Licensed to the firm or business that commissioned the work, for the uses written into the proposal.
- Owners, contractors, consultants and manufacturers on the same project can license the images directly, and it costs less when it is arranged before the shoot.
