Personal Contracts - advice please

[losdemas]

Hi all,

 

I have recently agreed to license a couple of photos to a charity for restricted use.

 

Can those of you that license images outside of work logged with agencies please advise as to how you normally arrange a contract:

 

• Do you write your own?
• Are you a member of an organisation which has templates which can be adjusted according to the license offered?
• Other?

 

I can knock one up myself of course, (and have done once in the past) but I need it sharpish and do want it to clearly outline the details of the license clearly and concisely - and preferably be legally binding!

 

Thanks in advance to anyone that might be able to assist with this.

We use a modded (personalised) form of the standard AOP "licence to use" form and their t&c's too.

 

See: http://www.the-aop.org/information/downloads/legal-business-forms

 

Scroll down to the Licence to use and then the Terms & conditions. You should send both. Ass covering is paramount in case of future 'misunderstandings'

p.s. Azure just beat me to it...

Thanks guys - that'll do nicely!

Only occasionally have I been asked for a printed license agreement.  With simple transactions, I set everything out in the invoice including the usage, exclusivity or non exclusivity, duration etc etc.  For more complicated transactions, I send them a license agreement that a lawyer friend supplied a few years back.
