Intellectual Property & Usage Policy

Revised January 1, 2026

1. Ownership of Media

All photographs, videos, floor plans, and drone media (the "Media") produced by Agents Choice Media℠ are the sole intellectual property of the creator. Under U.S. Copyright Law, Agents Choice Media℠ retains all copyrights to every image and video file delivered. License and use is not valid until payment is made as outlined in our Terms and Conditions.

2. Limited Usage License

Upon full payment of the invoice, the client (the "Agent" or "Agency") is granted a non-transferable, non-exclusive Limited Usage License.

Permitted Use: You may use the Media for the sole purpose of marketing the specific property featured for the duration of the listing. This includes the MLS, real estate websites (Zillow®, Realtor.com®, etc.), social media, and printed brochures.

License Expiration: This license is valid only for the duration of the listing. If the property is withdrawn or the listing expires and is later relisted with a different agent, a new license must be purchased.

3. Prohibited Uses & Transfers

To protect our brand and work, the following actions are strictly prohibited without prior written consent and additional licensing fees:

No Third-Party Transfer: You may not sell, give, or "hand off" the Media to another agent, the homeowner, builders, interior designers, or any third-party vendors.

No Commercial Resale: The Media may not be sold to stock photo agencies or used for commercial advertising outside of the specific property marketing.

No Unattributed Alterations: While standard social media filters are common, the Media may not be significantly altered or edited by third parties in a way that misrepresents our professional work.

4. Media Credit

While not required for standard MLS use, a photo credit to Agents Choice Media℠ is required when the Media is featured in editorial pieces, magazines, or high-profile social media features. Proper attribution helps maintain the professional integrity of the visual assets provided. News media outlets should be directed to contact us for proper licensing.
