in point 1) 30 days after receipt of the invoice issued
by Photomovie.

After having used the image, it must be destroyed by the contractor by and no later than 30 (thirty) days after the date of downloading, and cannot under any circumstances be kept in the archives of the contractor.
- The downloading of images contained in the site is automatically
authorized for editorial use only, in other words in connection
with illustrations for articles, by the press or television
with the objective of divulging events, films and persons

is consequently obliged to use the photo(s) without manipulating,
altering or touching them up, keeping in context with
the way the photos were originally taken and mentioning
the relative credits. The agency Photomovie is not responsible
for eventual moral consequences or economic repercussions
due to the improper use of photographs, in particular
for defamatory use that violates the privacy of the persons
photographed. The undersigned releases Photomovie from
any economic or moral consequences resulting from improper
use of photographs as stipulated above.
- For any use other than what is expressly foreseen in
article 4, a contract must be made beforehand with Photomovie.
- In the case of exploitation other than for editorial
use, the contract with Photomovie relates only to the
cession of rights for the reproduction of the image at
issue. None of the photographs contained in Photomovie's
on-line archives are model-released. Hence, for advertising
and/or commercial use of the image, the undersigned must
arrange for the release, the permission and necessary
consent of the person(s) portrayed before using the photograph(s)
and a copy must provided for Photomovie.
- The undersigned releases Photomovie from any claims

days will result in an additional charge for the undersigned
equivalent to the costs fixed at the moment of downloading
indicated in the price list (enclosure sub. A). In any
case, failure to use the image(s) within 60 (sixty) days
of withdrawal results in the loss of rights for reproduction
and the undersigned is obliged to destroy the materials
withdrawn.
- Every image downloaded by the undersigned must be published
with the name of the agency, the photographer and all
the credits indicated by Photomovie. It is the complete
responsibility of the undersigned should there be any
erroneous or incomplete information or any mistakes contested
by Photomovie.
- The reproductions edited by the undersigned must be
carried out with complete loyalty, as well as chromaticity
according to the originals. The undersigned is accountable
for reproducing these photographs in their entirety (except
for other explicit authorisation) as well as for preventing
and avoiding any damage to the moral rights of the author.
This right must be respected and enforced even if Photomovie
has given the authorisation for reproduction on the basis
of economic usage.

in the norms and conditions of authorisation, that is,
any alteration in the terms and conditions declared, Photomovie

due and seek compensation for damages incurred. Photomovie
