Archive Representation Agreement

This agreement is between SNVRKOTICS LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Agent"), and the creator named on the signature page or in the online acceptance record ("Creator"). It takes effect on the date of the last signature or of the online acceptance (the "Effective Date").

Creator owns a body of photographic or audiovisual work (the "Archive"). Creator wants it preserved, cataloged and licensed. Agent does that work and licenses the Archive on Creator's behalf.

"Archive" means the works Creator places under this agreement: the entire archive, or only the works listed in Schedule A, as the Scope clause says.

"Catalog" means the copies, fingerprints, metadata, descriptions, keywords and index Agent builds from the Archive.

"License" means a grant Agent makes to a third party to use a work from the Archive, on terms stated in writing.

"Gross license fees" means the amounts a licensee pays for a License, before any deduction.

"Program" means the representation program Agent operates under the name SNVRKOTICS RIGHTS.

Creator retains all copyright in the Archive. Nothing in this agreement transfers, assigns or encumbers Creator's ownership. Agent receives only the limited right to license the Archive to third parties, as set out below.

Copyright registrations are filed in Creator's name. Every License names Creator as the copyright holder.

Agent will: (a) copy the Archive from Creator's media to redundant storage, at Agent's cost; (b) catalog every file: fingerprint, metadata extraction, description, keywords; (c) build and maintain a searchable index; (d) identify and record rights information: subjects, releases, clearance status; (e) prepare and file copyright registrations in Creator's name, at Agent's cost; (f) market and license the Archive; (g) monitor for unlicensed third-party use and report it to Creator; (h) provide Creator a complete copy of the digitized and cataloged Archive, at any time, on request.

Agent may not, without Creator's prior written approval in each instance: (a) grant any exclusive license; (b) grant any license in perpetuity or any buyout of all rights; (c) license any work for advertising or endorsement use; (d) publish, post or display any work publicly outside of the licensing index; (e) alter, crop or materially edit any work beyond ordinary correction; (f) sublicense or assign its rights under this agreement.

No exclusive license is granted without that approval. Agent's licensing software refuses to issue an exclusive, perpetual or advertising License on Creator's work until Creator's approval of that request is recorded.

Exclusivity of representation, territory and covered works are chosen on the signature page: exclusive or non-exclusive representation; worldwide or a named territory; the entire Archive or only the works listed in Schedule A.

Unless the signature page says otherwise, representation is exclusive, worldwide, and covers the entire Archive. Exclusive representation means Agent is Creator's only licensing agent for the Archive during the term. It does not make any License exclusive; clause 5 governs that.

Agent collects license fees and remits Creator's share.

Creator receives 60% of gross license fees.

Agent pays its own costs out of its share. Agent does not deduct expenses from gross before the split, except third-party costs Creator approves in writing in advance.

Agent remits within 30 days of the end of each calendar quarter.

Each remittance comes with a statement listing every license issued in the quarter: the work, the licensee, the use, the fee, and the calculation.

Creator may audit Agent's records once per calendar year on 30 days' notice. If an audit finds an underpayment over 5%, Agent pays for the audit.

Initial term: 5 years from the Effective Date.

Renews for successive one-year terms unless either party gives written notice at least 60 days before the end of the then-current term.

Either party may terminate at any time on 90 days' written notice.

On termination, for any reason: Agent delivers to Creator the complete digitized, cataloged Archive and all metadata, in an open format, at no charge. Agent's licensing rights end immediately as to new licenses. Licenses already granted stay in force for their stated term, and Creator's revenue share continues to be owed and paid on them. Agent deletes its copies within 90 days, except records it must keep for tax, legal or existing-license purposes.

Creator represents that Creator owns or controls the copyright in the Archive and has the right to enter this agreement, and that to Creator's knowledge the Archive does not infringe anyone else's rights.

Creator will tell Agent of any work that is subject to a prior exclusive license, agency agreement or dispute.

If Agent finds unlicensed use, Agent reports it to Creator with the evidence.

Creator decides whether to pursue it. Agent takes no action without Creator's written direction.

If Creator chooses to pursue, Creator engages counsel. Agent is not a law firm, does not provide legal advice, and does not represent Creator in any legal matter. At Creator's direction, Agent may refer the matter to a partner attorney; any engagement is between Creator and that attorney.

Any recovery is split as in clause 7 unless the parties agree otherwise in writing before action is taken.

Neither party discloses the other's non-public business information. Agent does not disclose unpublished works without Creator's consent.

Independent contractors. Nothing here creates a partnership, employment or joint venture.

Entire agreement. This replaces anything said before it. Changes must be in writing and signed by both parties.

Notices go by email with confirmation of receipt, or by certified mail. Notices to Agent go to legalteam@snvrkotics.com; notices to Creator go to the email on the signature page or acceptance record.

Severability. If any part is unenforceable, the rest survives.

Governing law: State of [to be completed].

Venue: [to be completed].

Attach the catalog export, or describe the Archive: date range, approximate volume, media, subject matter.

Where the Scope clause selects the entire Archive, Schedule A is the Catalog as it stands on any day, and a work added to the Catalog later is covered from the day it is added.
