Digital Downloading Terms and Agreement

CONTENT USE AGREEMENT

This Agreement governs the terms by which clients of Thurston Photo obtain the right to use the digital content of Thurston Photo through the web site located at www.ThurstonPhoto.com (the “Site”). This Content License Agreement is in addition to the Terms of Use applicable to the Site and to all persons downloading content from the Site. In the event of any inconsistency between this Agreement and the Terms of Use (both of which are incorporated into this Agreement by reference), the terms of this Agreement shall govern.

1. Background of Agreement

(a) By downloading content from this site, you accept this Agreement, and agree to be bound by its provisions. If you do not accept or agree with these terms, do not download the Content. Pretty Simple.

(b) In this Agreement: (i) “you” or the “Client” means you ( the person downloading the content, (ii) “Thurston Photo” or “we” means Thurston Photo, operator of the Site; and (iii) “Content” means any photographic image, illustration, animation, film or video footage or any digital media or other material that you are downloading from the Site.

2. Downloading Terms

We hereby grant to you perpetual, non-exclusive, non-transferable, worldwide permission to use the Content for the Permitted Uses only (as defined below). Unless the activity or use is a Permitted Use, you cannot do it. All rights in and to the Content, including, without limitation, all copyright and other intellectual property rights relating to the Content, are retained by Thurston Photo.

3. Permitted Uses

(a) You may only use the Content for personal use only on your personal devices only. For clarity, you may not use the Content in products for resale, license or any other distribution. For example, you cannot superficially modify the Content, print it on a t-shirt, poster, template or any other item, and sell it to others for consumption, reproduction or re-sale. That would be ridiculously uncool. Any use of the Content that is not a Permitted Use shall constitute infringement of copyright!

(b) Seat Restrictions. Only you are permitted to use the Content for personal use, although you may transfer files among your personal devices such as phone, tablet, laptop or desktop computer. You may install and use the Content in only one location at a time for each file, although there is no time limit on the duration you can use it for. You may physically transfer the Content from one location to another i.e: distributing it among your personal devices. If you require the Content to be in more than one location or accessible by more than one person, you must download the Content from the Site for each such use or individual. You may make only one (1) copy of the Content solely for back-up purposes.

(c) Any additional permitted uses must be approved in writing by Thurston Photo.

If there is any doubt that a proposed use is a Permitted Use, you should contact Thurston Photo for guidance.

4. Standard License Prohibitions

(a) Prohibited Uses. You may not do anything with the Content that is not expressly permitted in the preceding section. For greater certainty, the following are “Prohibited Uses” and you may not:

use the Content in a fashion that is considered by Thurston Photo (acting reasonably) as or under applicable law is considered obscene, immoral, infringing, defamatory or libellous in nature, or that would be reasonably likely to bring any person or property reflected in the Content into disrepute;

either individually or in combination with others, reproduce the Content, or an element of the Content, in which event you shall be required to pay a royalty fee of Thurston Photos reasonable discretion for each and every reproduction.

6. Terms of Agreement
