License terms.

Free to use in your work, with a few plain-English limits. Read clause 01 for the gist and the rest for the detail.

Effective [EFFECTIVE DATE] · Version 0.1

01

The short version

This footage is free. You can use it in your own creative work, including paid client work, and you do not have to credit us. You cannot sell or hand out the raw clips on their own, and you are responsible for clearing anything your specific use needs (for example, a release from a person or brand that appears on screen). We provide the footage as-is, with no guarantees. The full terms below control.

02

Definitions

  • “Licensor,” “we,” “us” means [LEGAL ENTITY NAME], a [STATE] [ENTITY TYPE, e.g. limited liability company] doing business as Range of View Studios.
  • “Footage” means the video clips made available through the CTRL-A “The Reel” Atlanta b-roll pack, in any resolution or format we provide.
  • “You,” “Licensee” means the person or entity that downloads or uses the Footage.
  • “Production” means a finished work you create that incorporates the Footage together with your own or other material (for example, a film, ad, reel, social post, website, or client deliverable).
03

License granted

Subject to these terms, we grant you a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual license to:

  • reproduce, edit, alter, color, and combine the Footage into a Production;
  • use and distribute that Production for commercial and personal purposes; and
  • display the Production across any media now known or later developed.

No attribution is required. A credit reading “Footage by Range of View Studios” is welcome but never mandatory.

04

What you cannot do

  • Sell, license, sublicense, or otherwise redistribute the Footage on a standalone basis, or in a form substantially similar to how we provided it (for example, reselling it as stock footage or posting the raw clips for others to download).
  • Use the Footage in a way that is unlawful, defamatory, obscene, pornographic, hateful, or that promotes such content.
  • Use the Footage in a way that implies endorsement, sponsorship, or affiliation by us, by the City of Atlanta, or by any person, brand, or property that appears in the Footage, without their separate permission.
  • Use the Footage as a trademark, logo, or service mark, or register it as your own.
  • Represent the Footage, or an unmodified frame of it, as your own original cinematography for resale or in a stock library.
05

Third-party rights are your responsibility

The Footage is provided without any model, property, trademark, or other release. It may include people, private property, buildings, artwork, signage, or brands. Whether your particular use requires a release or permission depends on how you use it, and that is your responsibility to determine and obtain.

You agree that you will secure any consents, releases, or licenses required for your Production before you publish or distribute it. We make no representation that any such release exists.

06

No warranty

THE FOOTAGE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY WARRANTY OF NON-INFRINGEMENT, TITLE, MERCHANTABILITY, OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE FOOTAGE IS CLEARED FOR ANY SPECIFIC USE OR THAT IT IS FREE OF THIRD-PARTY CLAIMS.

07

Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS OR REVENUE, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE FOOTAGE OR THESE TERMS. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM RELATING TO THE FOOTAGE WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR IT, WHICH IS ZERO. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

08

Your indemnity

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold us harmless from any claim, demand, loss, or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your use of the Footage or your Production, including any claim that your use infringed a third party’s rights or required a release you did not obtain.

09

Term, changes, and termination

The license for Footage you have already downloaded is perpetual, subject to your compliance with these terms. We may stop offering the pack, change these terms for future downloads, or revoke your license if you materially breach it. On revocation for breach, you must stop using the Footage and remove it from Productions not yet published.

The version of these terms in effect when you download the Footage governs that download.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in [COUNTY, e.g. Fulton County], Georgia, and you consent to their jurisdiction.
