Jordanphoto.com (the “Site”), the agreement is in addition to the terms of use applicable to the Site and to all persons downloading content from the Site. In the event of any inconsistency between this Agreement and the Terms of Use (both of which are incorporated into this Agreement by reference), the terms of this Agreement shall govern.

1. Background of Agreement

(a) By downloading Content from this Site, you accept this Agreement, and agree to be bound by its provisions. If you do not accept or agree with these terms, do not download the Content, as defined below. 

(b) In this Agreement: (i) “You” or the “Customer” means you (the person downloading the content, (ii) “Customer Client” means your client (to whom you are pitching your design work), (iii) “Christopher Jordan (DBA Jordan Photographic)” or “We” means Christopher Jordan (DBA Jordan Photographic), operator of the Site; and (iv) “Content” means any photographic image or other material that you are downloading from the Site.

2. Downloading Terms

We hereby grant to you one-time, non-exclusive, non-transferable, worldwide permission to use the Content for the Permitted Uses only (as defined below). Unless the activity or use is a Permitted Use, it is prohibited. All rights in and to the Content, including, without limitation, all copyright and other intellectual property rights relating to the Content, are retained by Christopher Jordan (DBA Jordan Photographic).

3. Permitted Uses

(a) You may only use the Content for use only on your personal devices, only for the purpose of generating comprehensive design layouts (“Comps”) to pitch to a single potential customer client, (the “Permitted Use”). The circulation of your Comp is limited to you and your client solely for the purpose of securing contracted business. Further use of the image is prohibited without a subsequent licensing agreement between You and Christopher Jordan (DBA Jordan Photographic).

You may not use the Content in products for resale, license, or any other distribution. For example, you cannot superficially modify the Content, print it on packaging, poster, template or any other item, and sell it to others for consumption, reproduction or re-sale. Any use of the Content that is not a Permitted Use shall constitute infringement of copyright.

(b) Seat restrictions and use durations. 

Only You and Your immediate design team are permitted to use the Content for the Permitted Use on devices such as phone, tablet, laptop or desktop computer for the purpose of creating Comps. You may install and use the Content in only one (1) location at a time for each file, for a period of six (6) months. You may physically transfer the Content from one location to another, i.e: distributing it among your individual devices. You may make only one (1) copy of the Content solely for back-up purposes.

Additional seats require additional license purchases for the Content. For example, if multiple designers are using the image on multiple computers in the creation of separate design comps, an additional license purchase of the content is required for each one.

Additional duration of usage beyond six months requires additional license purchases for the Content. An additional license purchase extends the period for an additional six (6) months.

Likewise, pitching the image (as part of a Comp) to additional, potential clients, requires an additional license purchase for each potential client. 

Comps using the Content may be shared with potential clients as part of a business pitch for a period of six (6) months, up until the image/comp is accepted or rejected by your client. Afterward, the image must be destroyed/deleted, thus terminating this Agreement.

Subsequent image use (i.e., if an image is chosen for a design in a successful pitch) will be subject to a new licensing agreement and terms between You and Christopher Jordan (DBA Jordan Photographic), with terms based on usage and circulation requirements.

Subsequent license agreements and terms between You and Christopher Jordan (DBA Jordan Photographic) may be determined in advance of downloading your image for design comp and/or pitch. If desired, you are responsible for contacting Christopher Jordan (DBA Jordan Photographic) to request a license agreement estimate in the advance of your comp image license/download.  This estimate will be based on usage and circulation requirements. 

(c) Any additional Permitted Uses must be approved in writing by Christopher Jordan (DBA Jordan Photographic). If there is any doubt that a proposed use is a Permitted Use, you should contact Christopher Jordan (DBA Jordan Photographic) for guidance.
