- b) Licensee agrees not to manufacture or distribute sound recordings (including soundtrack albums, promotional CD’s or any and all methods of sound recording) separately from actual production with Licensee’s photography.
3) Term
The term of this Agreement shall commence upon Licensee’s digital download of the Recordings and shall remain in full force and effect for the duration of all copyrights in the Recordings, including but not limited to any renewals and extensions without Licensee having to pay any additional consideration thereof.

Licensor shall be compensated a flat fee in an amount set forth on Licensor’s website, https://theportraitmasters.com/, at the point of purchase by Licensee.

- a) Licensor owns 100% of the rights for the Recordings. Licensee agrees to provide attribution to Licensor using commercially reasonable efforts with any use of the Recordings.
- b) Licensee shall have no right or authority (1) to make any change in the fundamental character of the music of the Recordings; or (2) to make any other use of the Recordings not expressly authorized herein.
6) Relationship of Parties
The parties hereto are entering into this Agreement as independent contractors, and no partnership or joint venture or other association shall be deemed created by this Agreement.
7) Representations and Warranties
- a) Licensor hereby warrants and represents that it will not violate any law, regulation or contractual obligation by entering into this Agreement, and that it is free to enter into this Agreement, is not subject to any obligation or disability and has not made or will not make any grant or assignment which can, will or reasonably might prevent or materially interfere with the full performance of its obligations hereunder.
- b) Licensor warrants and represents that all Recordings hereunder shall be 100% owned by Licensor. Licensor further warrants and represents that to the best of Licensor’s knowledge after diligent investigation, such Recording(s), and Licensee’s use thereof, shall not infringe upon or any common law rights or any other rights of any person or entity.
8) Indemnification
Licensor hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Licensee, it’s successors, transferees, assignees and licensees, and the respective agents from and against any and all damages, costs, expenses, liabilities, claims and causes of action in any way arising by reason of the breach by Licensor of any warranty or representation hereunder or any other provision in this Agreement, including, without limitation, reasonable outside attorneys’ fees and costs in the defense and disposition of such matters, and any claim for any compensation by Licensor. Licensee shall defend and indemnify Licensor from and against all judgments, damages, costs and expenses, including reasonable outside attorneys fees and court costs, arising out of material assigned and/or supplied to Licensor by Licensee, material altered or added by Licensee, and/or Licensee’s development, production, distribution or exploitation of any use of the Recordings produced hereunder.
9) Remedies
The Recordings to be furnished and the rights herein granted to Licensee are of a unique character of such value that the loss of the Recordings could not adequately be compensated in damages in an action at law, and a breach by Licensee of any material provision hereunder will cause irreparable injury.
