IN ANY EVENT, THE LIMIT OF LIABILITY OF THE COPYRIGHT OWNER OF THE IMAGE AND AGENT SHALL BE THE FEE PAID FOR THE IMAGE TO AGENT.

UNAUTHORIZED USE 

Since it is difficult to determine damages resulting from unauthorized usage, in the event you utilize an Image other than for the usage indicated on our Invoice, we agree to forego our right to sue you for copyright infringement and you agree to pay, as liquidated damages, a retroactive license equal to ten (10) times the normal price we would have charged for such unauthorized use within ten (10) days of our billing such fee. If you fail to timely make such payment, we shall have the right to sue for copyright infringement and/or breach of contract, for which we will shall seek all damages and remedies available, including attorney's fees and all associated costs.

RETURN PERIOD & HOLDING FEES FOR IMAGES: 

Images other than digital files are to be returned within 2 months after date of invoice, except in cases of outright purchase. User agrees to pay, as reasonable charges, the sum of $5.00 per week per image after such 2-month period to date of return. NOTE THIS IS NOT A BAILMENT. Holding fees will accrue for one year from the stipulated return date, after which unreturned Images shall be deemed to be lost and you will be billed for lost Image fees in accordance with the Liquidated Damages provisions below. Payment of Lost or Damage fees does not entitle you to any rights whatsoever in the Images, which must be returned to Science & Society Picture Library immediately if subsequently found. You will then be liable for holding fees rather than Lost Fees, whichever is less. 

RESPONSIBILITY FOR ORIGINAL IMAGES 

If original Images are delivered to User, User is responsible for loss or damage to the Images delivered to them, from time of receipt until their return to Science & Society Picture Library. User shall be responsible for safe delivery and return of Images to Science & Society Picture Library and shall indemnify Science & Society Picture Library against any loss or damage to Images in transit or while in the possession of User. This agreement is not considered a bailment and is specifically conditioned upon the item so delivered being returned to Science & Society Picture Library in the same condition as delivered. Projection of Images is not permitted. User assumes an insurer's liability herein for the safe and undamaged return of the Images to Science & Society Picture Library. Such Images are to be returned by bonded messenger or by registered mail (return receipt requested), prepaid and fully insured.

LIQUIDATED DAMAGES  

The monetary damage for loss or damage of an original color transparency or photograph shall be determined by the value of each individual photograph. User agrees, however, that the reasonable value of such lost or damaged photograph or transparency shall be Fifteen Hundred ($1,500.00) Dollars. Science & Society Picture Library agrees to the delivery of the goods herein only upon the express covenant and understanding by User that the terms contained in this section are material to this agreement. User assumes full liability for its employees, agents, assigns, messengers and free-lance researchers for the loss, damage or misuse of the images.

RETENTION OF DIGITAL FILES 

Digital files may be retained for sixty days or until the date indicated on the invoice. Unless this period is extended in writing, you must delete the Images from all electronic and removable media and destroy any other copy of the Images, except as licensed under this Agreement. Our copyright information and Image identification number must be retained with the digital files while you retain them. 

CREDIT

Images used editorially should bear a credit line as indicated by Science & Society Picture Library. User must register copyright in their name to afford protection to the photograph. Such copyright shall be immediately reassigned upon request, without charge.

MISCELLANEOUS

This agreement is not assignable or transferable on the part of User.

This contract contains all the terms of the agreement concerning transmission, delivery and review of Images, and no term or conditions may be added or deleted unless made in writing and signed by both of us. These terms and the terms of any subsequent invoice supersede any and all terms of User's purchase order. Any subsequent invoice may contain additional terms relating to the rights granted and the type of usage allowed. 

Time is of the essence in the performance by User of its obligations for payments. 

Payment of the invoice herein is to be net thirty (30) days. A service charge of two (2%) percent per month on any unpaid balance will be charged thereafter. Any claims for adjustment or rejection of terms must be made to Science & Society Picture Library within ten (10) days after receipt of invoice. In the event that any Images are used by User in publications, User shall provide Science & Society Picture Library with two (2) free copies of such publication immediately upon printing.

Rights are being reserved to User when an invoice is created. If the invoiced Image is not used, User must notify Science & Society Picture Library within five (5) days from receipt of the invoice. If User fails to do so, User is responsible for full payment on the invoice.
