MOTORSPORT IMAGES & SMARTFRAME EMBED IMAGE LICENSE AGREEMENT

LAST UPDATED: February 2020

This is a license agreement between you and Motorsport Images that explains how you can use photos, text, and video clips (individually and collectively, “content”) that you license from Motorsport Images. By downloading content from Motorsport Images, you accept the terms of this agreement.

  1. What types of licenses does Motorsport Images offer? Motorsport Images offers one type of license model, which is rights-managed (“RM”). Rights-managed content is licensed for specific types of use, and pricing is based on factors such as size, placement, duration of use, and geographic distribution.

    Comp license: You are welcome to use content from the Motorsport Images site on a complimentary basis for test or sample (composite or comp) use only, for up to 30 days following download. However, unless a license is purchased, content cannot be used in any final materials or any publicly available materials. No other rights or warranties are granted for comp use.

  2. How can I use licensed content? You may use licensed content in any way consistent with the rights granted below and not restricted (see Restricted Uses below). Subject to those restrictions and the rest of the terms of this agreement, the rights granted to you by Motorsport Images are Rights-Managed.

    Worldwide, meaning content can be used in any geographic territory. 

    Unlimited, meaning content can be used an unlimited number of times. 

    Any and all media, meaning content can be used in print, in digital or in any other medium or format. 

    Non-Exclusive, meaning that you do not have exclusive rights to use the content. Motorsport Images can license the same content to other customers. If you would like exclusive rights to use royalty-free content, please contact Motorsport Images to discuss a buy-out.

    Limited to the specific use, medium, period of time, print run, placement, size of content, and territory selected, and any other restrictions that accompany the content on the Motorsport Images website (or any other method of content delivery) or in an order confirmation or invoice. 

    For purposes of this agreement, “use” means to copy, reproduce, modify, edit, synchronize, perform, display, broadcast, publish, or otherwise make use of. Please make sure you read the Restricted Uses section below for exceptions.

  3. Restricted Uses.

    1. No Unlawful Use. You may not use content in a pornographic, defamatory or other unlawful manner, or in violation of any applicable regulations (including for sports content, any restrictions or credentials issued by a sports league or governing body) or industry codes.

    2. No Commercial Use of Editorial Content. Unless additional rights are specified on the Motorsport Images invoice or sales order, or granted pursuant to a separate license agreement, you may not use content marked “editorial” for any commercial, promotional, advertorial, endorsement, advertising or merchandising purpose. This type of content is not model or property released and is intended to be used only in connection with events or topics that are newsworthy or of general public interest.

    3. No Alteration of Editorial Content. Content marked “editorial” may be cropped or otherwise edited for technical quality, provided that the editorial integrity of the content is not compromised, but you may not otherwise alter the content.

    4. No Standalone File Use. You may not use content in any way that allows others to download, extract, or redistribute content as a standalone file (meaning just the content file itself, separate from the project or end use).

    5. No Sensitive Use Without Disclaimer. If you use content that features models or property in connection with a subject that would be unflattering or unduly controversial to a reasonable person (for example, sexually transmitted diseases), you must indicate: (1) that the content is being used for illustrative purposes only, and (2) any person depicted in the content is a model. For example, you could say: “Stock photo. Posed by model.” No disclaimer is required for content marked “editorial” that is used in a non-misleading editorial manner.

    6. No False Representation of Authorship. You may not falsely represent that you are the original creator of a work that is made up largely of licensed content. For instance, you cannot create artwork based solely on licensed content and claim that you are the author.

    Restricted Uses - unless additional license purchased. The following are prohibited without the prior written consent of Motorsport Images and payment of an additional license fee:

    1. No “On Demand” Products. Unless you purchase a custom license, you may not use content in connection with "on demand" products (e.g., products in which a licensed image is selected by a third party for customization of such product on a made-to-order basis), including, without limitation, postcards, mugs, t-shirts, calendars, posters, screensavers or wallpapers on mobile telephones, or similar items.

    2. No Electronic Templates. Unless you purchase a custom license, you may not use content in electronic or digital templates intended for resale or other distribution (for example, website templates, business card templates, electronic greeting card templates, and brochure design templates).

    3. No Use in Trademark or Logo. Unless you purchase a custom license, you may not use content as part of a trademark, design mark, tradename, business name, service mark, or logo.

  4. Who, besides me, can use the licensed content? The rights granted to you are non-transferable and non-sublicensable, meaning that you cannot transfer or sublicense them to anyone else. There are two exceptions:

    1. Employer or client. If you are purchasing on behalf of your employer or client, then your employer or client can use the content. In that case, you represent and warrant that you have full legal authority to bind your employer or client to the terms of this agreement. If you do not have that authority, then your employer or client may not use the content. The rights purchased may only belong to you or your employer/client, depending on who is named as the “Licensee” at the time of purchase.

    2. Subcontractors. You may allow subcontractors (for example, your printer or mailing house) or distributors to use content in any production or distribution process related to your final project or end use. These subcontractors and distributors must agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement and may not use the content for any other purpose.

  5. User Accounts. You will be responsible for tracking all activity for each user account, and you agree to: (a) maintain the security of all passwords and usernames; (b) notify Motorsport Images immediately of any unauthorized use or other breach of security; and (c) accept all responsibility for activity that occurs under each user account. Motorsport Images reserves the right to monitor downloads and user activity to ensure compliance with the terms of this agreement. If Motorsport Images determines that you are in breach of this or any other term of this agreement, it may suspend access to your account and seek further legal remedies.

  6. Intellectual Property Rights.

    1. Who owns the content? All of the licensed content is owned by Motorsport Images. All rights not expressly granted in this agreement are reserved by Motorsport Images and the content suppliers. You may not assert any right to revenue from a collecting society in respect of photocopying, digital copying or other secondary uses of the licensed content.

    2. Attribution.

      1. Do I need to include a photo credit? You do not need to include a photo credit for commercial use, but if you are using content for editorial purposes, you must include the following credit adjacent to the content or in production credits: “[Photographer Name]/[Collection Name]/Motorsport Images”

      2. Do I need to include a video credit? If licensed content is used in an audio/visual production where credits are accorded to other providers of licensed material, you must include the following credit in comparable size and placement: “[Video] [Imagery] supplied by [Artist Name]/[Collection Name]/Motorsport Images”

    3. Can I use the Motorsport Images name or logo, or the name and logos of its content suppliers? You may use the name of Motorsport Images and/or its content suppliers as necessary to give attribution, but you may not otherwise use their names, logos, or trademarks without prior written approval.

  7. Termination/Cancellation/Withdrawal.

    1. Termination. Motorsport Images may terminate this agreement at any time if you breach any of the terms of this or any other agreement with Motorsport Images, in which case you must immediately: cease using the content; delete or destroy any copies; and, if requested, confirm to Motorsport Images in writing that you have complied with these requirements.

    2. Social Media Termination. If you use the content on a social media platform or other third party website and the platform or website uses (or announces that it plans to use) the content for its own purpose or in a way that is contrary to this agreement, the rights granted for such use shall immediately terminate, and in that event, upon Motorsport Images’ request, you agree to remove any content from such platform or website.

    3. Refunds/Cancellation. All requests for refunds/cancellations must be made in writing. Provided that the request is made within 7 days and the licensed content has not been used, Motorsport Images may cancel the relevant order and issue a full refund to your account or credit card. No credits or refunds are available for cancellation requests received more than 7 days from your receipt of content, or for research, lab, service or subscription fees, all of which are non-refundable. In the event of cancellation, your rights to use the content terminate, and you must delete or destroy any copies of the content.

    4. Content Withdrawal. Motorsport Images may discontinue licensing any item of content at any time in its sole discretion. Upon notice from Motorsport Images, or upon your knowledge, that any content may be subject to a claim of infringement of a third party’s right for which Motorsport Images may be liable, Motorsport Images may require you to immediately, and at your own expense: cease using the content, delete or destroy any copies; and ensure that your clients, distributors and/or employer do likewise. Motorsport Images will provide you with replacement content (determined by Motorsport Images in its reasonable commercial judgment) free of charge, subject to the other terms of this agreement.

  8. Representations and Warranties. Motorsport Images makes the following representations and warranties:

    1. Warranty of Non-Infringement. For all licensed content (excluding content marked “access only”), Motorsport Images warrants that your use of such content in accordance with this agreement and in the form delivered by Motorsport Images (that is, excluding any modifications, overlays or re-focusing done by you) will not infringe on any copyrights or moral rights of the content owner/creator.

    2. Warranty Disclaimer. Unless specifically warranted above, Motorsport Images does not grant any right or make any warranty with regard to the use of names, people, trademarks, trade dress, logos, registered, unregistered or copyrighted audio, designs, works of art or architecture depicted or contained in the content. In such cases, you are solely responsible for determining whether release(s) is/are required in connection with your proposed use of the content, and you are solely responsible for obtaining such release(s). You acknowledge that no releases are generally obtained for content identified as “editorial,” and that some jurisdictions provide legal protection against a person’s image, likeness or property being used for commercial purposes when they have not provided a release. You are also solely responsible for payment of any amounts that may be due under, and compliance with any other terms of, any applicable collective bargaining agreements as a result of your use of the licensed content.

    3. Caption/Metadata Disclaimer. While Motorsport Images has made reasonable efforts to correctly categorize, keyword, caption and title the content, Motorsport Images does not warrant the accuracy of such information, or of any metadata provided with the content.

    4. No Other Warranties. Except as provided in this section above, the content is provided “as is” without representation, warranty or condition of any kind, either express or implied, including, but not limited to, implied representations, warranties or conditions of merchantability, or fitness for a particular purpose. Motorsport Images does not represent or warrant that the content or its websites will meet your requirements or that use of the content or websites will be uninterrupted or error free.

  9. Indemnification/Limitation of Liability.

    1. Indemnification of Motorsport Images by you. You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Motorsport Images and its parent, subsidiaries, affiliates, and content suppliers, and each of their respective officers, directors and employees from all damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable outside legal fees) arising out of or in connection with (i) your use of any content outside the scope of this agreement; (ii) any breach or alleged breach by you (or anyone acting on your behalf) of any of the terms of this or any other agreement with Motorsport Images; (iii) your failure to obtain any required release for your use of content, (iv) your infringement of any third party intellectual property right or right of publicity.

    2. Indemnification of you by Motorsport Images. Provided that you are not in breach of this or any other agreement with Motorsport Images, and as your sole and exclusive remedy for any breach of the warranties set forth in Section 8 above, Motorsport Images agrees, subject to the terms of this Section 9, to defend, indemnify and hold harmless you, your corporate parent, subsidiaries and affiliates, and each of your respective officers, directors and employees from all damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable outside legal fees) arising out of or in connection with any breach or alleged breach by Motorsport Images of its warranties in Section 8 above. This indemnification does not apply to the extent any damages, costs or losses arise out of or are a result of modifications made by you to the content or the context in which the content is used by you. This indemnification also does not apply to your continued use of content following notice from Motorsport Images, or upon your knowledge, that the content is subject to a claim of infringement of a third party’s right.

    3. The party seeking indemnification must promptly notify in writing the other party about the claim. The indemnifying party (the one covering the costs) has the right to assume the handling, settlement or defense of any claim or litigation. The indemnified party (the one not covering the costs) has to cooperate in any way reasonably requested by the indemnifying party. The indemnifying party will not be liable for legal fees and other costs incurred prior to the other party giving notice of the claim for which indemnity is sought.

    4. Limitation of Liability. MOTORSPORT IMAGES WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY FOR ANY LOST PROFITS, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL OR OTHER SIMILAR DAMAGES, COSTS OR LOSSES ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, EVEN IF MOTORSPORT IMAGES HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, COSTS OR LOSSES. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT PERMIT THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR LIABILITY.

  10. General Provisions.

    1. Assignment. This agreement is personal to you and is not assignable by you without Motorsport Images’ prior written consent. Motorsport Images may assign this agreement, without notice or consent, to any corporate affiliate or to any successor in interest, provided that such entity agrees to be bound by these terms.

    2. Audit. Upon reasonable notice, you agree to provide to Motorsport Images sample copies of projects or end uses that contain licensed content, including by providing Motorsport Images with free of charge access to any pay-walled or otherwise restricted access website or platform where content is reproduced. In addition, upon reasonable notice, Motorsport Images may, at its discretion, either through its own employees or through a third party, audit your records directly related to this agreement and your use of licensed content in order to verify compliance with the terms of this agreement. If any audit reveals an underpayment by you to Motorsport Images of five percent (5%) or more of the amount you should have paid, then in addition to paying Motorsport Images the amount of the underpayment and any other remedies to which Motorsport Images is entitled, you also agree to reimburse Motorsport Images for the costs of conducting the audit.

    3. Electronic storage. You agree to retain the copyright symbol, the name of Motorsport Images, the content’s identification number and any other information or metadata that may be embedded in the electronic file containing the original content, and to maintain appropriate security to protect the content from unauthorized use by third parties. You may make one (1) copy of the content for back-up purposes.

    4. Governing Law/Arbitration. This agreement will be governed by the laws of the State of New York, U.S.A., without reference to its laws relating to conflicts of law. Any disputes arising from or related to this agreement shall be finally settled by binding, confidential arbitration by a single arbitrator selected using the rules and procedures for arbitrator selection under the JAMS' Expedited Procedures in its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures ("JAMS") if you are in North America, or of the International Centre for Dispute Resolution ("ICDR") or JAMS if you are outside of North America (the applicable rules to be at your discretion), in effect on the date of the commencement of arbitration to be held in one of the following jurisdictions (whichever is closest to you): New York, New York; London, England; Paris, France; Munich, Germany; Madrid, Spain; Milan, Italy; Sydney, Australia; Tokyo, Japan; or Singapore. The arbitration proceedings shall be conducted in English and all documentation shall be presented and filed in English. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on the parties, and judgment may be entered on the arbitration award and enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not govern this agreement. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its reasonable legal costs relating to that aspect of its claim or defense on which it prevails, and any opposing costs awards shall be offset. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Motorsport Images shall have the right to commence and prosecute any legal or equitable action or proceeding before any court of competent jurisdiction to obtain injunctive or other relief against you in the event that, in the opinion of Motorsport Images, such action is necessary or desirable to protect its intellectual property rights. The parties agree that, notwithstanding any otherwise applicable statute(s) of limitation, any arbitration proceeding shall be commenced within two years of the acts, events or occurrences giving rise to the claim.

    5. Severability. If one or more of the provisions in this agreement is found to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions should not be affected. Such provisions should be revised only to the extent necessary to make them enforceable.

    6. Waiver. No action of either party, other than express written waiver, may be construed as a waiver of any provision of this agreement.

    7. Entire Agreement. No terms of conditions of this agreement may be added or deleted unless made in writing and accepted in writing by both parties, or issued electronically by Motorsport Images and accepted by you. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms of this agreement and the terms contained on any purchase order sent by you, the terms of this agreement will apply.

    8. Notice. All notices required to be sent to Motorsport Images under this agreement should be sent via email to generalcounsel@motorsport.com. All notices to you will be sent via email to the email set out in your account.

    10. Interest on Overdue Invoices. If you fail to pay an invoice in full within the time specified, Motorsport Images may add a service charge of 1.5% per month, or such lesser amount as is allowed by law, on any unpaid balance until payment is received.
