1. Definitions
In this Agreement the following definitions apply:
a) "Licensed Material" means any still image, film or video footage, audio product, visual representation generated optically, electronically, digitally or by any other means, including any negatives, transparencies, film imprints, prints, original digital files or any reproductions thereof, or any other product protected by copyright, trademark, patent or other intellectual property rights, which is licensed to Licensee by Licenser under the terms of this Agreement.
b) "Invoice" means the computer-generated or pre-printed invoice provided by Licenser that sets forth, without limitation, the specific party contracting as Licenser, the specific areas of use for the Licensed Material selected, grants Licensee the Reproduction rights chosen, sets forth limitations on the licence (if any) and states the corresponding price(s) for the licence of such Licensed Material. The Invoice shall be made a part of this Agreement and shall be incorporated by reference herein, and together with this Agreement shall constitute the entire agreement between Licenser and Licensee regarding the Licensed Material. All references to the Agreement shall include the Invoice.
c) "Reproduction" and "Reproduce" include any form of copying or publication of the whole or a part of any Licensed Material, whether by printing, photography, photocopying, slide projection (whether or not to an audience), layout or presentation, use in a production process, electronic, digital or mechanical means, use as a reference by an artist or in an artist's illustration or by any other means. Reproduction further includes the distortion or manipulation of the whole or a part of the Licensed Material (for example, by computer, electronically, digitally by an artist or by any other means), even though the resulting Licensed Material may not appear to a reasonable person to be derived from the original Licensed Material. Reproduction also includes distribution in whole or in part of any Licensed Material via television, cable, telecommunications network or Internet transmission.
2. Grant of Rights
a) Unless stated otherwise in the Invoice, Licenser grants to Licensee a nonexclusive non-sub-licensable, non-transferrable and non-assignable right to use and Reproduce the Licensed Material identified in the Invoice to the extent explicitly stated therein. Licenser further grants to Licensee the right to have the Licensed Material Reproduced, solely to the extent explicitly stated in the Invoice, by subcontractors of Licensee, provided that such subcontractors agree to abide by the restrictions of this Agreement. See Section 3 below for more information about the nature of the rights granted to Licensee hereunder.
b) The Licensed Material is strictly limited to the use, medium, period of time, print run, placement, size of image, territory and any other restrictions specified in the Invoice. Licenser grants Licensee the right to utilise the Licensed Material in the sales and production process that may be necessary for the intended use specified on the Invoice. The terms specified in the Invoice, or in this Agreement, shall not be modified without the express written consent of Licenser, and any attempt to modify the Agreement without such express written consent, or any attempted deviation from the terms thereof of this Agreement, shall nullify Licenser's indemnity obligations, and the representations and warranties made by Licenser hereunder. Fees assessed for Licensee's use of the Licensed Material depend on the nature of the rights granted. Licensee shall not undertake any expanded use of the Licensed Material without the prior approval of Licenser and the payment of any additional licence fee required by Licenser for such expanded use. Licensee shall promptly notify Licenser of any expanded use of the Licensed Material for which Licensee has not received Licenser's prior approval, and shall pay to Licenser any additional licence fee required by Licenser for such expanded use. The rights and remedies of Licenser hereunder shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights or remedies that Licenser may have at law or in equity.
c) Licenser grants no rights and makes no warranties with regard to the use of names, trademarks, trade dress, registered, unregistered or copyrighted designs or works of art or architecture depicted in any Licensed Material, and Licensee must satisfy itself that all the necessary rights or consents regarding any of the above, as may be required for Reproduction, have been obtained.
d) Use of Licensed Material in a manner not expressly authorised by the Invoice and this Agreement (i) may constitute an infringement of the proprietary rights of Licenser or a third party and (ii) may result in Licensee incurring or being responsible for any damages resulting from any such use, including any damages resulting from any claims for infringement of the intellectual property or proprietary rights of Licenser or a third party.
e) If any Licensed Material featuring a model is used in an authorised manner that implies endorsement of, use of, or a connection to a product or service by that model or a potentially unflattering or controversial subject, Licensee must accompany each such use with a statement that indicates that the person is a model and is used for illustrative purposes only. Licenser's grant of rights regarding use of Licensed Material on or in a product does not grant Licensee the right to use that Licensed Material in any manner, directly or indirectly (such as, without limitation, in any image or illustration of such product) in the advertising of such product unless that right is also specifically granted.
f) While Licenser makes efforts to correctly caption the subject matter of the Licensed Material, Licenser does not warrant that such information is accurate.
g) Pornographic, defamatory, libellous or otherwise unlawful use of Licensed Material is strictly prohibited whether directly or in context or juxtaposition with specific subject matter.
3. Limitations on Reproduction Rights and Credit Lines
a) Except as set forth below, the following credit line must appear adjacent to any Licensed Material utilised in an editorial manner: (Photographer's name)/Irish Imagery.
b) Trinity College Dublin Licensed Material: The following credit line must appear adjacent to any Licensed Material utilised in an editorial manner: (artist name)/Trinity College Dublin/Irish Imagery. Licenser also requires that the credit line be utilised whenever reasonably possible in connection with non-editorial uses. Licensee may crop or rotate Trinity College Dublin Licensed Material. Trinity College Dublin Images of historical vintage often employ older photo techniques. Some of this Licensed Material contains "artefacts" or other flaws inherent in prints of the particular vintage and are not defects. Some Trinity College Dublin Licensed Material may be in the public domain or licensed to Trinity College Dublin on a non-exclusive basis. It therefore may be possible for another library to licence licensed Material represented by Trinity College Dublin for a conflicting use. Licenser shall have no liability for any such situation.
4. Copyright
No ownership or copyright in any Licensed Material shall pass to Licensee by the issuance of the Licence contained in this Agreement. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, Licenser grants Licensee no right or licence, express or implied, to the Licensed Material. Licensee shall provide applicable copyright notice and/or protection. Upon demand, Licensee shall immediately assign to Licenser (or Licenser's designee) any copyright of or to the Licensed Material arising out of the publication of the Licensed Material. No copyright information shall be removed from any digital file.
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, if any Licensed Material reproduced by Licensee for editorial purposes (i.e., for any non-promotional purpose) omits the credit line specified in Section 3 above, or any other credit line specified by Licenser, an additional fee equal to twenty percent (20%) of the original amount invoiced shall be payable by Licensee at Licenser's discretion. The foregoing fee shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights or remedies that Licenser may have at law or in equity.
5. Warranty and Limitation of Liability.

5. Licenser makes no representations or warranties as to whether or not any additional fees or payments may be due to any model depicted in Licensed Material pursuant to the requirements of any applicable trade union. Licensee shall be solely responsible for such additional fees or payments.
