In cases where Sane Seven client is a direct client (i.e. with no agency or intermediary), all references in this agreement to both “the Agency” and “the Advertiser” shall be interpreted as references to Sane Seven client. “Imagery” means all photographic material furnished by Sane Seven, whether prints or any other type of physical or electronic material.
2. COPYRIGHT
The entire copyright in the Imagery is retained by Sane Seven Ltd at all times throughout the world. Title to all Imagery remains the property of Sane Seven.
3. USE
The Licence to Use comes into effect from the date of payment of the relevant invoice(s).

The Licence only applies to the advertiser and product as stated on the front of the form and its benefit shall not be assigned to any third party without Sane Seven permission. Accordingly, even where any form of ‘all media’ Licence is granted, Sane Seven permission must be obtained before any use of the Imagery for other purposes e.g. use in relation to another product or sublicensing through a photolibrary. Permission to use the Imagery for purposes outside the terms of the Licence will normally be granted upon payment of a further fee, which must be mutually agreed (and paid in full) before such further use. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, all further Licences in respect of the Imagery will be subject to these terms and conditions.

The Agency and Advertiser will be authorised to publish the Imagery within the terms of Usage License agreed, to the exclusion of all other persons. However, Sane Seven retains the right in all cases to use the Imagery in any manner at any time and in any part of the world for the purposes of advertising or otherwise promoting Sane Seven work. After the exclusivity period indicated in the Licence to Use Sane Seven shall be entitled to use the Photographs for any purposes.
5. CLIENT CONFIDENTIALITY
