HiFly Photography will respond to all such notices, including as required or appropriate by removing any infringing material or disabling links to any infringing material.
5. Intellectual Property.
A. Introduction.
Footage is created for every job that HiFly Photography takes on. The footage is an original work in a fixed medium and is subject to all United States and international copyright laws. This section will detail the ownership and licensing of copyrights in the footage.
B. Operator Terms.
Each Operator agrees, represents, and warrants that all footage created under a job order accepted by the Operator from HiFly Photography will be and/or has been created solely by the Operator as “work made for hire” for HiFly Photography under this Agreement pursuant to Section 101 of the Copyright Act (Title 17 of the U.S. Code), with all copyrights worldwide in all such footage vesting solely in HiFly Photography. In the event the preceding sentence is for any reason deemed ineffective to fully vest all copyrights worldwide in all footage solely in HiFly Photography, each Operator hereby sells, conveys, transfers, and assigns to HiFly Photography, LLC, all rights, title, and interests in and to all copyrights for all footage created under a job order accepted by the Operator from HiFly Photography. Each operator agrees, represents, and warrants that the Operator further assigns to HiFly Photography, LLC, dba HiFly Photography any and all claims against third parties (known or unknown) for violation of any of the rights of Operator in the footage prior to any vesting of all copyrights in the footage in HiFly Photography, including any and all claims of copyright infringement, trade secret violations, and all other claims involving Operator’s intellectual property rights in the footage. Further, upon request by HiFly Photography at any time, Operator will execute and deliver to HiFly Photography all documents, instruments, and copies of the footage, and do all other things deemed reasonably necessary, desirable, or useful by HiFly Photography in establishing, perfecting, protecting, prosecuting, defending, and enforcing HiFly Photography’s proprietary right, title, and interest in the footage, including ensuring that all footage is fully and effectively conveyed, transferred, and assigned to HiFly Photography. To the extent that any third party retains any intellectual property rights in any footage, whether by contract or under any applicable laws, and such rights are not otherwise granted to HiFly Photography under this Agreement (“Retained Rights”), Operator grants to HiFly Photography (or agrees to obtain for HiFly Photography, at Operator’s expense) a royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, and nonexclusive license to make, have made,
sell, use, disclose, reproduce, modify, prepare derivative works from, distribute, publicly perform, and publicly display the materials that are the subject of the Retained Rights, with full rights of HiFly Photography to authorize others to do so, without the obligation of HiFly Photography to identify, or to seek the consent of, such third parties. HiFly Photography grants to each Operator a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to use footage created by the particular Operator, and to use the HiFly Photography name and then-current logo, solely for the purpose of the Operator advertising their services, with credit given on, next to, or under each work that it was made “for HiFlyPhotography.com,” with an active link to such website, unless impossible or otherwise agreed by HiFly Photography in writing. HiFly Photography may revoke the foregoing license in its sole discretion at any time if Operator and HiFly Photography cease working together, or for any other reasonable cause.
C. Client Terms.
Each Client agrees that they are not purchasing ownership of footage received from HiFly Photography, but rather a license. Specifically, upon receipt of payment from Client for footage, HiFly Photography grants to the particular Client a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to use the particular footage for which the Client paid for the purpose for which Client ordered the footage, and for any other non-commercial purpose. Clients may not distribute footage received from HiFly Photography to any third parties except as expressly authorized in writing by HiFly Photography.
D. Additional Terms.
HiFly Photography is the copyright owner for all footage created by any Operator and the copyright licensor of all footage delivered to any Client. HiFly Photography retains all copyrights in the footage, subject only to the licenses granted in this Agreement. HiFly Photography shall not be deemed to have abandoned any copyrights by any action or omission, and instead expressly states its intent that it shall not abandon any copyrights unless otherwise expressly stated in writing duly executed before a notary by a majority-in-interest of the voting Members of HiFly Photography. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, this Agreement does not transfer from HiFly Photography to anyone any copyrights, trademarks, service marks, patents, or other intellectual property belonging to HiFly Photography, which retains all right, title, and interest in and to all such intellectual property subject only to this Agreement. HiFly Photography, HiFlyPhotography.com, the HiFlyPhotography logo, and all other trademarks, service marks, graphics, logos, trade names, trade dress, domain names, and other intellectual property used in connection with HiFlyPhotography.com or our Services belong solely to HiFly Photogrpahy, unless they are licensed to HiFly Photography from a third party. Use of our Services grants you no right or license to reproduce or otherwise use any HiFly Photography or third-party trademarks, service marks, graphics, logos, trade names, trade dress, domain names, or other intellectual property, except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement.
6. Changes to Services or this Agreement.
We are constantly updating our Services, and that means sometimes we have to change the legal terms under which our Services are offered. If we make changes that are material, we will let you know by posting on one of our blogs, or by sending you an email or other communication before the changes take effect. The notice will designate a reasonable period of time after which the new terms will take effect. If you disagree with our changes, then you should stop using our Services within the designated notice period. Your continued use of our Services will be subject to the new terms. However, any dispute that arose before the changes shall be governed by the version of this Agreement in place when the dispute arose.
7. Party Relationships
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, this Agreement does not create any employment relationship between or among HiFly Photography, Operators, or Clients. Rather, the relationship created by a Client submitting a job request is that of business and customer. The relationship created by an Operator accepting a job order from HiFly Photography is solely that of an independent contractor, not an employee. To be clear, Operator shall be an independent contractor of HiFly Photography only, and Operator shall not be treated as an employee of HiFly Photography, nor an independent contractor nor employee of Client, for any purposes, including without limitation for purposes of any federal or state income or other withholding taxes, social security taxes, payroll taxes, or unemployment contributions, or within the meaning of the Worker’s Compensation Act of Texas. Operators shall be solely responsible for providing at their own expense all of their own tools of the trade, knowledge, education, skill, training, know-how, insurance, licenses, permits, and other resources needed to complete a job order. The only direction given by HiFly Photography to Operators is to complete the work requested by the Client at the address provided by the Client on the date requested by the Client, and to timely provide the footage to HiFly Photography in a medium usable by HiFly Photography. Operators represent and warrant that all work shall be completed in a good and workmanlike manner to at least the minimum “high resolution” standard generally accepted in the aerial photography industry at the time of the job, or such lesser minimum quality standard as HiFly Photography may require or accept in its sole discretion.

If any portion of the foregoing paragraphs in this Limitation of Liability / Indemnity section is held legally unenforceable, that portion shall be reformed by a court of competent jurisdiction to achieve to the greatest extent legally possible the intent of the parties as set forth in the foregoing paragraphs, such that the foregoing paragraphs, with any legally-required revisions, may and shall be enforced as a whole to limit the liability of the Released Parties and maximize the scope of the foregoing indemnities to the greatest extent legally permissible and supported by the intent demonstrated by the terms of this Agreement.
11. Translation.

The provisions of this Agreement are severable, and the invalidity, in whole or in part, of any provision of this Agreement will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other of their provisions, provided severance does not defeat the material intent of this Agreement as drafted. If one or more provisions of this Agreement is declared invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect and will be construed in the broadest possible manner to effectuate the intent and purposes of this Agreement. The headings and captions of this Agreement are inserted for reference convenience and do not define, limit, or describe the scope or intent of this Agreement or any particular section, paragraph, or provision of this Agreement.
