0§ AITA for refusing to sign this?
I was recently asked to shoot a charity event for charity. I say sure, a little good will and do something nice for others right? Well a Photography Agreement was e-mailed to me, ok cool I say, I send this all the time to clients, let's read theirs. Here's a snippet:
***Property of XXX.*** *All drawings, models, designs, formulas, methods, documents, creative works (including photographs, audio-visual and other multi-media materials), tangible and intangible items and work product (collectively, the “Work Product”) prepared for and/or submitted to XXX by Vendor in connection with the Services shall belong exclusively to XXX and shall be deemed to be works made for hire as defined in 17 U.S.C1. Any Work Product or deliverable of the Services is the property of XXX and will not be made available by Vendor to any third party. Promptly upon the completion of the Event, or upon the request of XXX at any time, Vendor shall deliver to XXX, in a form specified by XXX, all Work Product, documents, and tangible items, including samples, provided to Vendor or created by Vendor for use in connection with Services. This includes, without limitation, all photographs, audio-visual and other multi-media materials, together with all copies and abstracts. If any Work Product does not constitute “work made for hire,” Vendor irrevocably assigns XXX, for no additional consideration, its entire right, title, and interest throughout the world in and to such Work Product, including all intellectual property rights, including the right to sue for past, present, and future infringement, misappropriation, or dilution.*
***Trademarks & Logos****. Vendor may not use, publish, distribute, or reproduce the names, symbols, designs, photographs, emblems, trademarks or logos of XXX without prior written approval from the authorized XXX representative. In the event such approval is granted to Vendor, Vendor’s use of the trademark or logo must be appropriate for and relate solely to the Services. XXX may revoke approval previously granted to Vendor at any time*.
Soooooo if i'm understanding this correctly, the photos can't be used in my portfolio, used on my business accounts in a post telling people in the community hey we donated our time towards this charitable effort. Am I wrong to tell them no thanks?
