ASMP Chicago/Midwest Web Terms and Conditions
Photographer's Promise
I am a photographer and a member of the American Society of Media Photographers,Inc.(ASMP). I want to make use
of the internet website run by ASMP, which may be run by the national organization, a local chapter, an outside service
provider or otherwise (the Website). Among the reasons why I want to make use of the Website is to promote myself
for business and professional purposes. Among the ways in which I want to do that is to post examples of my photography on the Website.
ASMP is willing to make a place on the Website available to me for those purposes,based on the following conditions,
assurances and promises:
- I am the sole owner of the copyright to any photograph that I place on the Website. If there is a joint copyright to any photograph that I place on the Website,
the other joint copyright owner or owners have signed or will sign
their own document in the same form as this.No photograph that I place on the Website infringes anyone else's copyright,and I have the legal right to place any
images on the Website that I may submit for placement.
- No photograph that I place on the website infringes anyone else's trademark or other intellectual property.
- I understand that my placement of photographs on the Website for self-promotion may constitute purposes of
trade or advertising and therefore requires model releases in order to avoid the risk of violating the subjects'rights of
privacy and/or publicity.Because of that,I have a valid release signed by every recognizable person in every photograph that I place on the website.
I will provide ASMP with a copy of each model release for each photograph that I
want to place on the Website before ASMP will allow the photograph to be placed on the Website.
- No photograph that I place on the Website casts any person or thing in a false and negative light.
- I understand that my placement of photographs on the Website could cause ASMP to be subjected to legal
claims and or liability, that defending those claims could be very costly, and that even if ASMP were not found to be
liable, ASMP could have substantial expenses. I therefore promise to indemnify ASMP (including its chapters,its officers, its directors, its staff, and its agents
and contractors) against any claims, expenses or liabilities to which it might be
exposed by reason of placing any of my photographs on the Website; I promise to hold ASMP harmless against such
things; and I promise to defend ASMP against them.
- Because of such possible problems as described above, I give ASMP the right to remove or refuse to place any
photograph of mine on the Website that it believes or has reason to believe will cause such problems for ASMP.
- I will not hold ASMP responsible for any original photographs that I may submit to ASMP or others as part of
the process of having my photographs placed on the Website.
- I have all legal rights and powers needed to give the statements, assurances and commitments in this document
and to sign it as a validly executed, legal instrument. It shall be binding on me and on my heirs, executors and assigns.
- The images used on the site will remain on the site as long as the image maker is an ASMP Member in good
standing. The images will be removed when they are no longer members in good standing.
- Payment made for the portfolio page is for work done and the images will not be displayed on the site after
the image maker is no longer an ASMP member, nor will there be any refund of the money paid for building their page.
- Materials submitted will not be returned unless the web developer is specifically asked that they be returned.
Materials will be returned only if the ASMP member provides self-addressed and postage attached mailer to return
material.
