You ("Photographer") have requested permission to photograph the artist publicly known as
“Ariana Grande” ("Artist") at and/or in connection with the ______________________, 2019
live concert/personal appearance by Artist at _______________________________________
(the "Performance"). Any and all photographs and/or other recorded material embodying the
images of Artist taken by Photographer are referred to herein as the "Photographs". For good
and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, Photographer is hereby
granted such permission, conditioned upon and subject to the following:
1. Right To Photograph:
(a) Photographer shall have the limited right to capture solely still photographs of
Artist solely during the first three (3) songs performed by Artist at the Performance. Any such
photography shall only occur from a designated spot at the front of house (not in the “pit”)
Photographer shall not have the right to use any "flash" in connection with any such
photographs.
(b) Photographer acknowledges that all photography is “shoot at your own risk.”
Photographer therefore takes all responsibility for anything that could or does happen to
Photographer and/or Photographer’s photography equipment. Company and Artist accept no
responsibility for Photographer while at the Performance. Photographer hereby releases
Company, Artist and each of their related entities and each of their respective assigns,
representatives, employees and contractors from any and all claims, damages, liability, cost or
expense arising out of or in connection with Photographer’s participation as a photographer at
the Performance.
2. Ownership/Rights:
(a) All rights (including all copyrights) in and to the Photographs shall be owned by
GrandAriTour, Inc. (“Company”) as a “work-made-for-hire”. In the event that the Photographs
are determined not to be a “work-made-for-hire,” this Agreement shall constitute an assignment
to Company of any and rights in and to the Photographs. At Company’s request, Photographer
hereby agrees to promptly provide Company with one (1) complete set of contact sheets and
digital files of any and all Photographs taken in connection with the Performance, for personal,
commercial and/or archival use by Company and Artist (and the licensees and designees of
Company and/or Artist). Company and Artist (and the licensees and designees of Company and
1
Artist) shall have the right, without any obligation to Photographer or any third party, to use and
exploit the Photographs in any manner, by any and all means, in any medium or form, whether
now known or hereafter devised, either alone or coupled with other materials.
(b) Photographer shall have the limited right to use certain Photograph(s) expressly
approved in writing by Artist, in a single instance, solely as part of a news item relating to the
Performance in the news publication of which Photographer is an employee/agent. Any other
use of the Photographs (including, without limitation, any syndication of the Photographs, any
additional use in connection with the news publication of which Photographer is an
employee/agent, or any use in other publications) is subject to Company’s prior written consent
in each instance. The Photographs may not be used in any manner which could imply an
advertisement or endorsement by Artist of any company, person, product or service. By way of
example, but without limiting the foregoing, neither Photographer nor the news publication of
which Photographer is an employee/agent shall have the right to embody the Photographs (or any
portion thereof) in or on any items of merchandise or in connection with any advertisement or
promotion of any person, product or service whatsoever. If the Photographs are to be printed
together with any editorial, news or other informational text, the final edit of such text shall be
subject to Artist’s prior written approval. Photographer shall have no other rights with respect to
the Photographs, and Photographer shall not assign, license or transfer such rights. All rights in
and to the Photographs not expressly granted pursuant to this subparagraph 2(b) are reserved by
Company and Artist.
3. Confidentiality: All information concerning the Artist, Artist’s friends, family, business
associates, business entities, affiliates and other individuals and entities (the “Persons”), including,
without limitation, legal and financial affairs, the terms of any agreement between Artist and the
Persons, the Persons’ physical health, or philosophical, spiritual or other views or characteristics,
planned wardrobe(s), hairstyle(s) and fashion collaborations shall be deemed to be confidential,
private, secret and sensitive information (collectively “Confidential Information”). Photographer
shall not, publish, directly or indirectly, or cause or induce the publication to a third party of, any
Confidential Information, including, without limitation, texting, “tweeting,” posting on social
media, giving any interviews, making statements to the press, or writing, preparing or assisting in
the preparation of any books, articles, programs, press releases or any other oral or written
communications. Photographer shall not remove, reproduce, summarize, copy, excerpt, distribute,
sell, exploit or utilize in any manner whatsoever any Confidential Information from any location
without Artist’s prior written consent in each instance. Furthermore, Photographer agrees that
Photographer shall not make any derogatory or negative statements with respect to the Persons, or
otherwise engage in any act that may harm or disparage or cause to lower in esteem the Persons’
reputation or public image. Photographer acknowledges that a breach by Photographer of any of
the provisions hereof will cause Artist irreparable harm for which Artist will have no adequate
remedy at law. Therefore, Photographer agrees that in addition to any and all other available rights
or remedies, including damages as determined by a court, Artist shall be entitled to injunctive relief
and all other remedies provided in such event by law or equity. Such remedies shall include,
without limitation, an award of attorneys’ fees and the right to prevent dissemination of
