STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Please review this document carefully and thoroughly
and contact
BoliviaNature customer service or your
account representative if you do not understand this
Agreement, if you wish to use an Image in a manner not
permitted under this Agreement, or have any questions.
The following terms and conditions apply to your access
and use of all material and Images from
BoliviaNature.
Standard Terms and Conditions:
The BoliviaNature invoice is incorporated by reference
into this Agreement, and all references to the Agreement
shall include the BoliviaNature Invoice. Along with
the BoliviaNature Invoice, these terms constitute
a binding agreement. If you are entering into this
Agreement on your employer's behalf, this Agreement
applies both to your employer and to you. By obtaining
any Image(s) or any material from BoliviaNature directly
or via the online site, you agree to be bound by this
Agreement. If you choose not to be bound, do not use
BoliviaNature' site or download or use any Images.
Use of Images:
"Image" means all images and related informational
materials in any medium furnished by BoliviaNature
hereunder, including related text, captions, or information.
You agree to payment for the license of the Image
according to the terms of the invoice and this Agreement.
You are required to pay for all Images that you obtain,
regardless of whether you use them, unless you comply
with the return/credit provisions of this Agreement.
Except as specified in the BoliviaNature invoice,
Images obtained from BoliviaNature are licensed on
a non-transferable, one-time, non-exclusive basis,
and are strictly limited to the use, medium, time
period, print run, placement, size of Image, territory,
and any other restrictions indicated in the invoice
or contained on BoliviaNature' online site, and are
licensed for use within one year from the date of
the invoice, or sixty (60) days for internal evaluations
("comps").
Listed Restrictions:
Images may contain listed restrictions, including
without limitation restrictions as to time, manner,
industry and territory of use, and pre-approval by
a depicted person or their representative. Your ability
to access an Image does not in itself entitle you
to use that Image. Use of any Image contrary to a
listed restriction is prohibited. If you do not understand
or are unsure as to any restriction, you must contact
BoliviaNature prior to download or use of any Image.
License granted by BoliviaNature:
Unless otherwise specified in a separate writing signed
by BoliviaNature, your reproduction of Images is
limited to (i) internal evaluation or comps, or (ii)
the specific use described in your invoice, which
together with these terms shall constitute the full
license granted. Additional restrictions indicated
on BoliviaNature' online site or in the invoice may
contain limitations on your use, medium, time period,
print run, placement, size of Image, territory, and
any other restrictions. Any license granted by BoliviaNature
is conditioned upon (i) your meeting all conditions
and restrictions imposed by BoliviaNature, and (ii)
BoliviaNature' receipt of full payment by you for
such use as invoiced by BoliviaNature. Your failure
to make full payment when due, shall terminate any
license granted to you and entitles BoliviaNature
to pursue all remedies available under copyright laws.
You may not otherwise make, use or distribute copies
of any Images for any purpose except as authorized.
BoliviaNature reserves all rights to the Images,
and you do not acquire any copyright, ownership or
equivalent rights in or to any Image as a result of
any license BoliviaNature grants to you.
The limited license granted to you is personal and
non-transferable; the work you produce incorporating
the Image must be for your own use or for the use
of your direct employer. If you are licensing an Image
on behalf of or for use by a client, that client must
be the sole end user of your work. You may not sell,
rent, loan, give, sublicense or otherwise transfer
to anyone the Image or any right to reproduce the
Image (except insofar as it has been incorporated
by you into the permitted use as stated in the invoice.
Storage of Images:
You may place Images on your internal computer network
for a limited time, provided you limit access to the
Images to those having a bona-fide need to facilitate
production or creation of any licensed use, but you
shall not otherwise distribute or permit access to
any Images. You agree not to store or maintain any
digital copies within fifteen (15) days after having
used them for the authorized purpose. You agree not
to store or maintain any archive of any Image in any
format or medium unless your invoice with BoliviaNature
permits re-use, whereupon you may store Images solely
as permitted by such invoice. This section shall survive
termination of the Agreement.
No Alterations:
Special ethical considerations apply to editorial,
news, and fine art Images. When using such Images,
you may not make or permit any modifications to or
alterations of the Images (except for standard color
correction or minor cropping for space limitations)
or to the caption information unless specifically
agreed in writing by BoliviaNature.
Property Releases/Clearances:
The rights BoliviaNature grants to you do not include
a license to any persons, places, property, or subject
matter depicted in an Image, which may be subject
to copyrights, trademarks, rights of publicity, moral
rights, property rights or other rights belonging
to third persons. You shall assume that no model or
property releases, or other releases or licenses exist
in connection with any of the Images, unless specifically
stated in a separate writing by BoliviaNature. BoliviaNature
makes no representations or warranties that it owns
or licenses any rights nor does BoliviaNature grant
you any rights including copyright, trademarks, or
rights of publicity belonging to any person, place,
property, or subject matter depicted in any Image.
Further, BoliviaNature makes no representation or
warranty as to the accuracy of any information provided
with the Images. You are solely responsible for determining
whether your use of any Image requires the consent
of any third party or the license of any additional
rights, and you should not rely solely on the information
provided by BoliviaNature. If you are unsure whether
additional rights are needed for your use, you are
responsible for consulting with competent legal counsel.
If an Image depicts a person and is used in a manner
that implies the use or endorsement of a product or
service by that model, you must indicate that the
person depicted is a model and used only for illustrative
purposes. Any license granted by BoliviaNature is
conditioned upon your obtaining all necessary third-party
rights, releases and permissions. You agree to provide
BoliviaNature with proof of such releases and permissions
upon request.
Unauthorized Use:
Without limitation, Images may not be utilized as
a trademark or service mark. Unauthorized use of these
Images constitutes copyright infringement and shall
entitle BoliviaNature to exercise all rights and
remedies under applicable copyright law, including
an injunction preventing further use and monetary
damages against all users and beneficiaries of the
use of such Images. BoliviaNature in its sole discretion
reserves the right to bill you (and you hereby agree
to pay) ten (10) times the normal license fee for
any unauthorized use, in addition to any other fees,
damages, or penalties BoliviaNature may be entitled
to under this Agreement or applicable law. The foregoing
is not a limiting statement of BoliviaNature' rights
or remedies in connection with any unauthorized use.
Payment:
Prices for use of Images shall be determined solely
by BoliviaNature; if you are unsure as to the price
applicable to your intended use, you must contact
BoliviaNature prior to obtaining an Image. Payment
is due within thirty (15) days after your receipt
of an invoice or the date specified in an invoice,
whichever comes first.
Taxes:
You are responsible for the payment of all sales and
use tax, when applicable. BoliviaNature does not
accept resale certificates without prior written approval
and at BoliviaNature' discretion.
Cancellations:
If you cancel rights granted in the Invoice within
seven (7) business days from the date of the invoice,
you will be charged a $20 transaction fee per Image.
If the cancellation notice is received more than seven
(7) but less than thirty (15) business days after
the invoice date, a cancellation fee equal to fifty
(50%) percent of the amount of the Invoice will be
charged. AFTER THIRTY DAYS, NO CANCELLATIONS WILL
BE ACCEPTED AND THE FULL AMOUNT OF THE INVOICE MUST
BE PAID. For any cancellations, you must also pay
the full service charge, production fee, processing
and handling fee and shipping fee. No license to use
the Image will be granted upon cancellation; all cancellations
are final.

At BoliviaNature' request, you shall provide to BoliviaNature
free of charge, up to three (3) copies of any printed
product or publication you create using the Images,
or if electronic use is permitted, the URL and any
required passwords or the screen captures for our
records.
Publication Right:
BoliviaNature shall exclusively retain all publication
rights arising from your use of our Images.
Indemnification:
You agree to indemnify and defend BoliviaNature against
all claims (including without limitation claims by
third parties), liability, damages, costs and expenses,
including reasonable legal fees and expenses, arising
out of or related to (i) a breach of this Agreement
and any Image restrictions, (ii) the use of any Image
either alone or in combination with any other material,
(iii), your failure to abide by any restriction regarding
the use of an Image.
Credit Line and Copyright Notice:
For editorial uses, you shall include a copyright
notice and photo credit adjacent to each Image (in
the format: "© Hermes Justiniano/BoliviaNature")
with each publicly distributed Image. Receiving credit
is a material aspect of the Agreement for BoliviaNature,
and in editorial uses of Images, you agree to pay
triple the invoice amount if you do not provide such
credit and copyright notice. For commercial uses,
you shall include the credit described above when
customary and appropriate.

use the trademarks or service marks of BoliviaNature
without BoliviaNature' prior written consent.

performance of any of its obligations hereunder is
delayed by labor dispute, war, governmental action,

public enemy, or any other matter not within BoliviaNature'
reasonable control, then the date for performance
shall be extended by the time of such delay. If any
