and worse still - I'm pretty sure it wouldn't hold up in a court of law unless a document had been drawn up and signed in person with witnesses. Therefore - you're putting yourselves in a vulnerable position.
There are very stringent laws about using or trying to take over other people's images.
I don't mind putting my images anywhere at all from an external source with no such 'contract' (!) like this as they would be protected but I really don't like the idea of this statement and the fact that I would have to hand them over to your
Gallery first!
We both sell and know quite a lot about these things.
I'm not sure if you're doing yourself any favours here as you
may be lowering the standards of your photographic contributors - and I don't mean to offend by this.
Eh bien - it started well - perhaps I can enjoy just having a chat instead?
I hope you don't mind me raising these issues? I was quite shocked when I read that 'agreement'!
