All media is exclusively owned and copyrighted by Ridgetop Media Group LLC, unless other copyright terms are agreed upon in written contract. The invoice, once paid, serves as a license to the individual or organization paying to use the media for the project listed on the invoice.

Additional commercial use licenses for the images may be purchased by stagers, builders, contractors, interior designers, etc. Ridgetop Media Group LLC and The Photographer reserve the right to resell any MLS image licenses to third parties (including other real estate agents) at any time.

The Photographer is aware that images posted to the MLS are often reposted to other real estate services such as Zillow, Redfin and others, through no control of The Client or the MLS. The Photographer specifically allows these reposts of original MLS postings so long as all other terms of this contract are in effect, specifically, that the listing is still active, or one year from delivery date has not elapsed, and will hold harmless The Client (and the MLS) for such normal reposts. Additionally, The Photographer will hold The Client (and the MLS) harmless for any use of the images by third parties beyond their control.
In the course of promoting the home for sale, The Client is specifically allowed to post to FSBO sites, and other sites that promote the home for sale, so long as the contract and its terms remain in effect. Images may also be used by client to promote the sale of the home on social media (Facebook, Twitter, InstaGram, etc.) without restriction. Images may be posted to a Realtors site to promote the sale of the house, but may not be used to promote the Realtor, staging company, or for any other promotional purpose without additional license. In any case, such reposts may NOT alter the images in any way other than resizing/cropping to the format supported by that site.
