GETTY IMAGES CONTRIBUTOR AGREEMENT FOR PHOTO SHARING CONTENT

This Getty Images Contributor Agreement for Photo Sharing Content (“Agreement”) is between [A subsidiary of Getty Images (US),
Inc., inserted as appropriate when you complete the electronic signing process and depending on Your location] and the undersigned
individual or entity (”You”) (collectively, the “Parties”), and includes the below Commercial Terms and following Standard Terms and
Conditions. Definitions of capitalized terms can be found underlined throughout and in Section 14. Definitions. This Agreement
supersedes any previous Getty Images Contributor Agreement for Photo Sharing Content but does not supersede or otherwise vary
any other agreement You may have with Getty Images.
COMMERCIAL TERMS
Your name / payee [Your name and payee name must match and will be inserted when You complete the electronic signing process]
name: located at [Your Address – inserted when You complete the electronic signing process]
Commencement Date: [The first day of the month You enter into this Agreement, inserted when You complete the electronic signing process]

Exclusivity: All Content accepted by Getty Images is on a Content exclusive basis. Such Content and any Similars may
not be submitted to any third party for license, sale or distribution. However, on a non-exclusive basis, You
may use Content and any Similars for Your personal or self promotional, non-commercial use, including
Photo Sharing, provided that You do not compete with or limit the rights granted to Getty Images under the
Agreement. On an exclusive basis you may use Content and any Similars for limited edition, signed and/or
numbered fine art prints (though Getty Images retains the exclusive right to sell and license prints not
signed or numbered).
Copyright: Subject to the rights granted in this Agreement, You will retain Your copyright in all Content. You may
register the copyright in any Content with the relevant copyright authority, or Getty Images may do so on
Your behalf.
Credit line: Using the credit line supplied by You, Getty Images shall use commercially reasonable efforts to credit You
as the source of Content, but shall have no liability for lack of credit.
Royalties : Royalties are paid on Gross License Fees for business-to-business licenses and on Net License Fees for
Consumer Licenses (all as defined in Section 14), based on the license model through which Content is
being licensed at the time, as follows:
LICENSE MODEL AND CONTENT TYPE ROYALTY
Rights Managed / Rights Ready Still Images and Footage 30 percent
Royalty Free Footage 25 percent
Royalty Free Still Images 20 percent

Royalty reports: Within 20 days after the end of each calendar month (the “License Month”), Getty Images will make
available to You a report (the “Royalty Report”) showing transactions occurring during the License Month.
The Royalty Report will state the Royalties due to You and any Royalty Deductions and will also include the
following information for Rights Managed and Rights Ready licenses: (i) the invoice number or transaction
identifier and date; and (ii) where appropriate, the rights granted by a license.
Royalty payments: Getty Images will make Royalty payments monthly, within 60 days after the end of each License Month, by
PayPal or by electronic funds transfer. No payment will be issued unless a minimum of US$50, after
Royalty Deductions, is due. Any unpaid amounts under US$50 will accrue and be paid in the next monthly
Royalty payment once the total amount due exceeds US$50. Residents of the Republic of Ireland must
invoice Getty Images for any applicable VAT using a VAT-compliant invoice, within 60 days of receipt of
Royalties. Getty Images will pay all such VAT invoices within 30 days of receipt and shall not be liable for
VAT that is not duly invoiced.
Term & termination: Term is 2 years from the Commencement Date, then automatically renews for successive one-year periods.
Either Party may terminate by providing notice: (a) at least 60 days prior to the expiration of the then-current
Term; or (b) if the other Party: (i) breaches any material term or condition of the Agreement and, if capable
of remedy, fails to remedy such breach within 60 days after being given notice thereof by the non-breaching
Party; or (ii) becomes insolvent or suffers any act of insolvency. Upon expiration or termination, Getty
Images will use commercially reasonable efforts to inactivate digital Content in its inventory. The expiration
or termination of this Agreement will not affect the accrued rights and obligations of the Parties or any
licenses issued to Clients prior to termination (including any licenses renewed pursuant to Section 8).
Nature of relationship: You agree that You are an independent contractor. The Parties expressly acknowledge and agree that their
relationship is not one of partnership, employment, joint venture, principal-agent or any other legal identity,
and that Getty Images has no obligation to find or offer employment to You.
I have reviewed and agree to the terms of this Getty Images Contributor Agreement for Photo Sharing Content v1.2, including all of the
Standard Terms and Conditions.
