ALP Studio MLS Terms & Conditions

This Agreement is entered into between ALP Studio (“Company or Artist”) and the hiring client (“Client”).

By engaging Company services, Client agrees to the following terms:

1. Ownership

All media created by Company, including but not limited to photographs, video, drone footage, floor plans, virtual tours, and derivative works (“Media”), remain the exclusive intellectual property of Company.

No copyright transfer occurs. Only a limited license is granted.

No exclusivity is granted unless expressly agreed in writing. Company reserves the right to license the Media to any third party.

2. Grant of License

Company grants Client a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to use the Media solely for marketing the specific real estate listing for which the Media was produced.

3. Authorized Users

Authorized users are strictly limited to:

  • Listing Realtor

  • Listing Brokerage

  • Co-Listing Agent

  • Homeowner (for listing marketing only)

No other party may use, access, distribute, or reproduce the Media without written consent.

This license is granted solely to the original hiring Client and does not transfer to another agent, brokerage, or listing without prior written consent.

4. Term

The license is valid only during the active MLS listing period.

Upon sale, expiration, cancellation, withdrawal, or relisting, all rights terminate 30 days automatically unless renewed in writing. Authorized users are not required to remove media from existing previously published platforms.

Any reuse of the Media for a new listing of the same property, whether by the same or different agent, requires a new license.

External reuse requires a new licensing agreement, which may include additional costs.

5. Modifications

  • Standard MLS resizing and cropping

  • Submit Media to publications, awards, or magazines without consent

  • Use Media for commercial branding unrelated to the listing without consent

Separate commercial licensing applies for developers, commercial entities, or extended usage. 

Any third-party use without a valid license obtained directly from Company constitutes unauthorized use and may be subject to retroactive licensing fees.

7. Payment & License Validity

  • Immediate suspension of license
