11.4 Model and Property Releases
Model Release Requirements Stockxpert requires you to upload a validly signed model release for each image and footage clip (at the time of upload) that has a person in them. A model release is required for each person in the image/clip. This includes crowd shots with lots of people. The only exceptions allowed will be: - crowd shots with 20+ people and all faces are blurred (however, if any person in the crowd is identifiable, a release is required); - For images or footage clips of body parts such as the hands, torso, eyes, mouth, legs, etc. — a model release is NOT required UNLESS there are identifiable markings that identify the model, such a tattoos, piercings, etc. Property Release Requirements Stockxpert requires you to upload a validly signed property release for all images or footage clips taken of private property such as homes and buildings (interiors and exteriors). You may or may not need a property release for interior or exterior shots of public property, churches or government buildings, depending upon the specific property. For example, any images of famous fast food restaurants, LAX Airport, the New Orleans Superdome, or the Empire State Building alone (and not part of a skyline), just to name a few, may not normally be used for commercial purposes without a release. You will need to determine on a case-by-case basis whether a property release is needed for these types of properties. For images or footage clips taken of private homes from public property — such as the street, you still need a property release. The house belongs to someone and without a validly signed property release the owner has not granted permission for you to use an image or footage clip of their property for commercial gain. If you do get permission from the owner, please remove all identifiable location information such as house number or street address. We do not require an additional property release in the event the private property changes ownership as permission was granted at the time the image or footage clip was taken. Any images or footage clips that contain identifiable trademarks (such as company logos) or copyrighted materials such as (popular brand-name toys like Barbie), also require property releases. If you would like to learn more about model releases, please visit Dan Heller's website. He has a great article on them. For your convenience here are some model release documents that you can download, print and fill out. If you have your own ones you can use those aswell, but they have to be essentially the same. We can't do anything with photos that are not allowed to be distributed on our site. » Model release for adults (16 Kbytes, PDF) » Model release for minors (15 Kbytes, PDF) » Property release (15 Kbytes, PDF)
