Squareshot Model Usage Rights Policy
Squareshot retains full copyright and intellectual property rights for all images our team produces. By purchasing model images or paying for a model shoot, you get the following usage rights from Squareshot depending on the project & model types:
Model type
The model type determines the duration of usage rights:
Recognizable models*: Includes 6 months of usage rights at no extra cost. You can extend beyond that for an additional fee. Usage rights begin on the project deadline date — the day you receive your final images.
Unrecognizable models**: Usage rights are unrestricted, just like our standard product images described here.
*Any model whose face is fully or partially visible in the images
**Any model whose face isn't visible in the images, either fully or partially
Project type
Your project type determines what’s included in your final files:
Per-image project: You receive retouched model images based on the number of images ordered.
Per-hour projects: You receive retouched model images plus all raw shots from the shoot.
You are responsible for negotiating usage rights with non-Squareshot models.
Model Usage Rights Extension
Usage rights restrictions apply to all recognizable models, meaning any model whose face is visible in the images. We include 6 months of usage rights at no additional cost. If you need to extend these rights beyond the initial period, you can do so for an additional fee:
Model type | Booking duration | Usage rights | Usage rights | Usage rights |
Hand/foot | Half day | $125.00 | $250.00 | $500.00 |
Hand/foot | Full day | $250.00 | $500.00 | $1,000.00 |
Full body | Half day | $187.50 | $375.00 | $750.00 |
Full body | Full day | $375.00 | $750.00 | $1,500.00 |
*In perpetuity means no timing restrictions for usage rights
Note that Squareshot may use images for portfolio, social media, or advertising. You can request up to a 3-month publishing delay for our portfolio, social media, or advertising. Email us at [email protected] for such requests.
