Intellectual Property
No ownership or copyright in any Licensed Material shall be assigned to the Licensee by this Agreement. Except as expressly stated in this Agreement, Lenorko grants the Licensee no right or license, express or implied, to the Licensed Material.
In connection with the use of "Lenorko" or any other of Lenorko's or its partners' trade names, trade marks, logos or service marks, including the names of all Licensed Material collections ("Marks"), the Licensee acknowledges and agrees that:
- such Marks are and shall remain the sole property of Lenorko or its partners;
- except as expressly required in order to satisfy the credit obligations under this Agreement, nothing shall confer upon the Licensee any right of use in or to the Marks; and the Licensee shall not now or in the future contest the validity of Lenorko's Marks.
If Lenorko’s Site specifies that a credit must be stated whenever the image is used then the Licensee must use the credit as directed on the Lenorko’s Site. If the Licensee omits the credit, an additional fee in an amount up to one hundred percent (100%) of the Licence Fee may be payable by the Licensee, at Lenorko's sole discretion. The foregoing fee shall be in addition to any other rights or remedies that Lenorko may have at law or in equity.
If Licensed Material is used in an audio/visual production where credits are accorded to other providers of licensed material, then the Licensee must state such credit as set out on the Lenorko Site. The credit shall, where technically feasible, be of equal size and comparable placement to such other credit.
The Licensee will immediately notify Lenorko if it becomes aware or has reason to believe that any third party is using the Licensed Material, in whole or in part, in any way which violates any of Lenorko's intellectual property rights or is otherwise illegal.

- it has all necessary rights and authority to enter into and perform this Agreement;
- the Licensee's use of the Licensed Material in accordance with this Agreement and in the form delivered by Lenorko will not infringe on any copyright, moral right, trade mark or other intellectual property right and will not violate any right of privacy or right of publicity; and
- all necessary releases for use of the Licensed Material authorised under this Agreement have been obtained.

Lenorko shall not be liable to the licensee or any other person or entity for any punitive, special, indirect, consequential, incidental or other similar damages, costs or losses arising out of this agreement, even if Lenorko has been advised of the possibility of such damages, costs or losses.
Lenorko shall not be liable for any damages, costs or losses arising out of or as a result of modifications made to the licensed material by the licensee or the context in which licensed material is used in a the New Work.
Indemnification
The Licensee shall indemnify Lenorko against all liabilities, costs, expenses, damages or losses (including any direct or indirect consequential losses, loss of profit, loss of reputation and all interest, penalties and legal and other reasonable professional costs and expenses) (each a “Claim”) suffered or incurred by Lenorko arising out of or in connection with the Licensee's exercise of its rights granted under this Agreement or any breach by the Licensee of the terms of this Agreement.
This indemnity shall not cover Lenorko to the extent that a Claim results from the Lenorko's negligence or wilful misconduct.
If any third party makes a Claim, or notifies Lenorko of an intention to make a Claim which may reasonably be considered likely to give rise to a liability on the part of the Licensee under this indemnity (a “Relevant Claim”), Lenorko shall:
- as soon as reasonably practicable, give written notice of the Relevant Claim to the Licensee, specifying the nature of the Relevant Claim in reasonable detail;
- not make any admission of liability, agreement or compromise in relation to the Relevant Claim without the prior written consent of the Licensee (such consent not to be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed), provided that Lenorko may settle the Relevant Claim (after giving prior written notice of the terms of settlement (to the extent legally possible) to the Licensee, but without obtaining the Licensee's consent) if Lenorko reasonably believes that failure to settle the Relevant Claim would be prejudicial to it in any material respect;
- give the Licensee access at reasonable times (on reasonable prior notice) to its premises and its officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives or advisers, and to any relevant assets, accounts, documents and records within the power or control of Lenorko, so as to enable the Licensee and its professional advisers to examine them and to take copies (at the Licensee's expense) for the purpose of assessing the Relevant Claim; and
- subject to the Licensee providing security to Lenorko to Lenorko's reasonable satisfaction against any claim, liability, costs, expenses, damages or losses which may be incurred, take such action as the Licensee may reasonably request to avoid, dispute, compromise or defend the Relevant Claim.
If a payment due from the Licensee under this clause is subject to tax (whether by way of direct assessment or withholding at its source), Lenorko shall be entitled to receive from the Licensee such amounts as shall ensure that the net receipt, after tax, to Lenorko in respect of the payment is the same as it would have been were the payment not subject to tax.
The Licensee shall, at its expense, carry adequate general liability insurance coverage to support its liabilities under this agreement.
Nothing in this agreement shall have the effect of excluding or limiting any liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence or for fraud.
Condition of Licensed Material
The Licensee should examine all Licensed Material for possible defects (whether digital or otherwise) before sending any Licensed Material for Reproduction. Without prejudice to Section "Warranty and Limitation of Liability" above, Lenorko shall not be liable for any loss or damage suffered by the Licensee or any third party, whether directly or indirectly, arising from any alleged or actual defect in any Licensed Material or its caption or in any way from its Reproduction.
Unauthorised Use and Termination
Any use of Licensed Material in a manner not expressly authorised by this Agreement constitutes copyright infringement, entitling Lenorko to exercise all rights and remedies available to it under copyright laws around the world. The Licensee shall be responsible for any damages resulting from any such copyright infringement, including any claims by a third party. In addition and without prejudice to Lenorko's other remedies under this Agreement, Lenorko reserves the right to charge and the Licensee agrees to pay a fee equal to up to five (5) times Lenorko's standard Licence fee for the unauthorised use of the Licensed Material. Lenorko reserves the right to terminate this Agreement in the event the Licensee:
- enters the Agreement after having received notice of unauthorised use from Lenorko relating to the Licensed Material;
- otherwise breaches the terms of this Agreement.
Upon termination, the Licensee must immediately stop using the Licensed Material and destroy or, upon the request of Lenorko, return to Lenorko the Licensed Material and, in the case of termination by Lenorko for one of the reasons listed above, the New Work in the possession or control of the Licensee.
Effect of termination
On termination of this Agreement for any reason, all rights and licences granted under it shall automatically terminate and the Licensee shall immediately cease all use of the Licensed Material, remove any reference to the Licensed Material from the Licensee's Site and destroy all copies from any databases in his possession or control.
Termination of this agreement shall not prejudice or affect any right of action or remedy that has accrued or will thereafter accrue to either party. For the avoidance of doubt, no money paid by the Licensee to Lenorko before the date of any termination shall be refundable.
Audit
Upon reasonable notice, the Licensee shall provide sample copies of Reproductions containing Licensed Material to Lenorko. In addition, upon reasonable notice, Lenorko may, at its discretion, either through its own employees or through a third party, audit the Licensee's records directly related to this Agreement and use of Licensed Material in order to verify compliance with the terms of this Agreement.
If any such audit reveals an underpayment by the Licensee to Lenorko of five percent (5%) or more of the amount the Licensee should have paid for the time period that is the subject of the audit, in addition to paying Lenorko the amount of such underpayment, the Licensee shall also reimburse Lenorko for the costs of conducting such audit.
Electronic Storage
For all Licensed Material that is delivered to the Licensee in electronic form, the Licensee must retain the copyright symbol, the name of Lenorko, the Licensed Material's identification number and any other information as may be embedded in the electronic file containing the original Licensed Material.
The Licensee shall maintain a robust firewall to safeguard against unauthorised third-party access to the Licensed Material.
Withdrawal
Upon notice from Lenorko, or upon the Licensee's knowledge that any Licensed Material may be subject to a claim of infringement of another's right for which Lenorko may be liable, Lenorko may require the Licensee to immediately and at its own expense:
- stop using the Licensed Material;
- delete or remove the Licensed Material from its premises, computer systems and storage (electronic or physical); and
- ensure that its clients do likewise.
Lenorko shall provide the Licensee with comparable Licensed Material (comparison to be determined by Lenorko in its reasonable commercial judgement) free of charge, but subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement.
Severability
If one or more of the provisions contained in the Agreement is found to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not be affected. Such provisions shall be revised only to the extent necessary to make them enforceable.
Waiver
No action, inaction or delay of either party, other than express written waiver, may be construed as a waiver of any provision of this Agreement and a single or partial exercise by either party of any such rights or remedies will not preclude other or further exercise of that right or remedy. A waiver of a right or remedy on any one occasion will not be construed as a bar to or waiver of rights or remedies on any other occasion.
Entire Agreement
This Agreement contains all the terms of the licence agreement. No terms or conditions may be added or deleted unless made in writing and either accepted in writing by an authorised representative of both parties or issued electronically by Lenorko and accepted in writing by an authorised representative of the Licensee.
Exclusion of third party rights
