At Bro Media Co., we take great pride in our work and the images we create. This Image Usage Policy outlines the rules and restrictions regarding the use of photos or other content from our Website, including images from any photography sessions. By accessing or using images from our Website, you agree to the terms outlined in this policy.

1. Ownership of Images

All images on the Website, including but not limited to photos, videos, and other visual content, are owned by Bro Media Co. and are protected by copyright laws. As the copyright holder, we retain full ownership of all intellectual property rights to these images unless otherwise specified in a written agreement.

2. Personal Use of Images

Clients who purchase or receive images from Bro Media Co. are granted a personal, non-exclusive, and non-transferable license to use the images for personal purposes. This includes printing images for personal use, sharing on social media (with proper attribution), or using the images in private projects. The following uses are prohibited without prior written consent:

• Commercial use (e.g., selling, advertising, or promoting products or services).

• Modification or alteration of images (including cropping or adding filters) without prior approval.

• Using the images in a way that implies endorsement of a product, service, or business.

3. Commercial Use

Any commercial use of images from Bro Media Co. (including for advertising, merchandising, or any form of public display) requires a separate licensing agreement. Clients must obtain written consent from Bro Media Co. and may be required to pay additional licensing fees based on the scope of the intended use.

4. Social Media Sharing

Clients may share their purchased or received images on social media platforms, provided that proper credit is given to Bro Media Co. by tagging our account or including our website link (e.g., @bro.mediaco or www.bromediaco.com). We encourage sharing, but it is important to respect our copyright and intellectual property rights.

5. Unauthorized Use

Unauthorized use of images from our Website, including downloading, copying, or distributing photos for commercial purposes, is prohibited and may result in legal action. If you wish to use an image for any purpose not covered by this policy, please contact us to obtain the necessary permissions.

6. Image Modifications

Clients who purchase digital images from Bro Media Co. are permitted to make personal edits (e.g., cropping, adjusting brightness) for personal use. However, any modifications that alter the original image's content (such as adding logos or text) for commercial purposes are prohibited unless written permission is granted by Bro Media Co.

7. Model Releases

For certain photography sessions (such as portrait sessions or commercial projects), clients may be required to sign a model release form. This form grants Bro Media Co. the right to use the images for promotional purposes, including on the Website and social media. If a model release is not signed, the use of images will be restricted to personal use by the client only.

8. Image Storage and Retention

Once images are delivered to clients, it is the client’s responsibility to store and protect them. Bro Media Co. does not guarantee that images will be retained or backed up for an extended period after delivery. We recommend clients save a copy of their purchased images for future use.

9. Modifications to the Policy

Bro Media Co. reserves the right to update or modify this Image Usage Policy at any time. Any changes will be posted on this page with the updated date. Continued use of the images after modifications to the policy indicates acceptance of the new terms.
