ABSTRACT

These companies will supply their own license agreements and are generally reluctant to change them. When you license stock footage, make sure that the stock footage company is representing and warranting that it has all the rights needed to enable it to license the clip to you. (See Appendix C, “Representations and Warranties,” p. 381.) Further, make sure that you’re being indemnified by them for any breach of these representations and warranties. (See Appendix C, “Indemnification,” p. 386.) Fortunately, most reputable stock footage houses have made sure that their clips have been cleared for stock footage use.
