Terasor Stock Contributor Terms

1. WHAT YOU ARE AGREEING TO

Terasor Stock lets approved pilots ("Contributors") offer drone footage and images ("Stock Content") for licensing to buyers through the Platform. When a buyer purchases a licence, the licence is granted by you, the Contributor, through the Platform under the licence tiers described in section 5. Terasor operates the storefront, handles payment collection, delivery and support, and retains a platform fee from each sale.

2. OWNERSHIP AND ORIGINALITY

For every item of Stock Content you upload, you warrant that:

• you are the sole original author and sole owner of all copyright and other rights in the content
• the content has not been copied from, and does not incorporate, anyone else's work
• no other person or company has any claim, licence or interest that would conflict with the licences sold through Terasor Stock, including any exclusive licence granted elsewhere
• the content was captured in compliance with the drone, aviation, privacy and filming laws applicable where it was shot

3. THIRD-PARTY RIGHTS AND RELEASES

You warrant that your Stock Content does not infringe the rights of any third party, including copyright, trade marks, design rights, privacy and data protection rights, and rights in identifiable people or private property.

In particular:

• People: content featuring identifiable individuals must not be uploaded unless you hold any consent or model release required for commercial licensing of that footage in the jurisdiction where it was captured. Incidental, non-identifiable capture of people in public spaces is acceptable where lawful.
• Property: content that identifiably features private residential property, or property where a release is required for commercial use, must not be uploaded without the required property release or consent.
• Trade marks and branding: content must not feature prominent third-party logos, branding or trade dress in a way that would require a licence you do not hold.

You are responsible for holding evidence of any required release and providing it to Terasor on request.

4. LICENCE YOU GRANT TO TERASOR

By uploading Stock Content, you grant Terasor a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, store, transcode, watermark, display and market the content on the Platform, and to grant licences over the content to buyers on your behalf under the tiers described in section 5. This licence lasts while the content remains listed, and survives for content already licensed to buyers (whose licences continue) and as needed for record keeping and dispute handling.

5. THE LICENCE TIERS YOU AUTHORISE

You authorise Terasor to sell licences over your Stock Content under the following tiers, as further described in the Terasor Terms and Conditions and on each listing:

• Standard Licence: royalty-free, non-exclusive, digital, web and social media use, up to 500,000 impressions, no broadcast use and no resale as a product.
• Extended Licence: non-exclusive with unlimited impressions, including television and broadcast advertising, product packaging, and use within apps and software.
• Exclusive Buyout: a full transfer of copyright and all other rights in the content to the buyer. On completion of a buyout sale, ownership of the content passes to the buyer and the content is permanently removed from the marketplace.

You cannot withdraw a licence tier from a listing after a buyer has purchased under it. You may ask Terasor to delist content at any time; delisting does not affect licences already sold.

6. EXCLUSIVITY: BOUGHT-OUT CONTENT IS GONE FOR GOOD

When your content sells as an Exclusive Buyout, the buyer pays for exclusivity and you must protect it. From the moment a buyout sale completes:

• you must not re-upload the content, or any copy, re-export, re-encode or trivially modified version of it, to Terasor Stock or anywhere else on the Platform
• you must not license, sell, publish or otherwise commercially exploit the content anywhere off the Platform, including on other stock marketplaces
• you warrant that you have not previously granted anyone else a licence that conflicts with the buyout
• you must not retain the content in any public portfolio, showreel or promotional material without the buyer's written consent

These obligations are permanent and survive the closure of your Account. Breach of this section is treated as a serious violation: see section 8.

7. PAYMENT

For each completed sale of your Stock Content, you receive 90 percent of the sale amount, less payment processing fees, which are borne by you. Terasor retains a platform fee of 10 percent of the sale amount. Where a sale settles in a different currency from the listing price, your share is calculated on the settled amount.

Payouts are made to your Stripe Connect account, in line with the payment provisions of the Terasor Terms and Conditions. Payout timing depends on payment settlement and Stripe processing times. You are responsible for any taxes on your earnings.

8. REMOVAL, REFUNDS AND RECOVERY

Terasor may remove any Stock Content, reject any upload, or suspend your access to Terasor Stock at any time, including where content is reported or suspected to infringe third-party rights, breach these Contributor Terms, or breach the Terasor Terms and Conditions.

Where a sale is affected by your breach of these Contributor Terms (for example an infringement claim from a third party, or a breach of the exclusivity obligation in section 6), Terasor may:

• refund the buyer in full or in part
• recover from you the proceeds previously paid to you for the affected sale or sales, by deduction from future payouts or as a debt where permitted by law
• suspend or permanently remove your access to Terasor Stock or the Platform

9. INDEMNITY

You will indemnify Terasor against losses, claims, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from any third-party claim that your Stock Content infringes intellectual property, privacy or other rights, or that you have breached the warranties or the exclusivity obligation in these Contributor Terms. The indemnification process set out in the Terasor Terms and Conditions applies.

10. CHANGES AND CONTACT

Terasor may update these Contributor Terms from time to time. The version you accept is recorded against each upload, and material changes will be highlighted at the next upload after the change. Questions about these Contributor Terms can be raised through the contact details shown on the Platform.
