⸻

 

6. CANCELLATIONS & RESCHEDULING

​

Standard real estate listing shoots may be cancelled or rescheduled without charge with at least 24 hours’ notice. Cancellations or rescheduling with less than 24 hours’ notice, no-shows, or inability to access the property incur a $50 fee.

 

For productions requiring a deposit, cancellation at least 48 hours before the shoot receives a deposit refund, less any previously approved, nonrecoverable expenses. For later cancellations, the deposit is retained. One reschedule is permitted with at least 24 hours’ notice, subject to availability, with the deposit transferred to a date within 30 days.

 

Weather-related rescheduling initiated by us carries no rescheduling fee. If we cancel and cannot agree on another date, payments for services not provided are refunded.

 

If a project is cancelled after work begins, the client is responsible for work already completed and any previously approved expenses that cannot be recovered. Payments already received will be deducted from the amount owed.

​

Company Rescheduling

​

* Weather

* Safety concerns

⸻

 

9. COPYRIGHT & OWNERSHIP

 

ALL media, footage, photographs, videos, edits, graphics, concepts, deliverables, and creative works produced by the Company remain the sole intellectual property of Bits & Pieces Creative LLC unless expressly transferred in writing.

 

Clients DO NOT purchase ownership rights.

 

Clients purchase a limited usage license only.

 

⸻

​

10. LICENSED USAGE RIGHTS

 

Clients receive a nonexclusive usage license for the purposes agreed upon in their accepted quote.

 

For projects invoiced upon delivery, including standard real estate listing shoots, usage permission begins upon delivery. For projects requiring payment before final delivery, usage permission begins after full payment.
 

Real Estate Listing Media:

The client and their brokerage may publish delivered media through the MLS, authorized listing syndication platforms, property websites, social media, print materials, and advertisements. They may grant the publication and distribution permissions required for those listing channels.

​

The client may also retain the media in sold-listing archives and use it to promote their own real estate services.

​

Commercial and Aviation Media:

Permitted uses are specified in the accepted quote. Use outside that scope requires written permission.

​

Editing and Restrictions:

Routine cropping, resizing, compression, and the addition of branding or marketing text are permitted for approved uses.

 

Substantial alterations, including compositing, generative AI manipulation, or changes that misrepresent the property, product, or business, require prior written permission.

 

Except for the brokerage, MLS, and authorized listing distribution permitted above, clients may not resell the media, transfer usage rights to another business, or authorize use outside the agreed scope without written permission.

 

Clients may not claim authorship or use Company media to train AI systems without written permission. Copyright notices and third-party attribution required by an applicable license must remain intact.

 

Copyright remains with Bits and Pieces Creative LLC unless separately transferred in writing. RAW files and editable project files are not included unless expressly agreed upon. Third-party assets remain subject to their respective licensing terms.

 

11. PORTFOLIO & PROMOTIONAL RIGHTS

 

Unless confidentiality restrictions are agreed upon in writing before the shoot, the Company may use completed media in its portfolio, website, social media, and business marketing after the listing or project is publicly released.

 

Access codes, personal documents, and other sensitive information will not be published.

 

Clients requiring confidentiality, an embargo, or restrictions on portfolio use must discuss these requirements before booking. Agreed restrictions, any additional charges, and the permitted publication date will be recorded in the accepted quote or a separate written agreement.

 

12. NON-PAYMENT CONSEQUENCES

 

Payment remains due according to the accepted quote and invoice, regardless of when usage permission begins.

 

For projects invoiced upon delivery, clients may use delivered media during the agreed payment period. An overdue invoice does not automatically revoke permissions already granted for MLS publication or authorized listing syndication.

 

Overdue accounts may result in suspension of future services and collection action. For projects requiring payment before final delivery, final files and usage permission may be withheld until payment is received.

If an invoice remains unpaid after its due date, the Company may issue written notice giving the client seven calendar days to pay. If payment is not received within that period, the Company may terminate the client’s usage license by further written notice. Following termination, the client must stop using the media in marketing channels under their control. Permissions previously granted to the MLS and authorized syndication partners remain subject to the applicable platform agreements.
