Last updated: June 2026. How you may use the photography, video and other media Silverhouse creates for you.
This agreement outlines the terms of use for all photography, videography, and other visual content created by Silverhouse.
1. Grant of License
Upon full payment, Silverhouse grants the client a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use the commissioned visual content for the specific property marketing and real estate purposes outlined in the service agreement.
Permitted uses
- MLS listings and real estate marketing materials
- Property websites and virtual tours
- Social media marketing for the specific property
- Print advertising and brochures for the property
- Agent portfolio and personal marketing materials
- Property management and rental listings
Prohibited uses
- Resale or redistribution of images as stock photography
- Use for properties other than those photographed
- Modification or alteration without written permission
- Use in materials that misrepresent the property

4. Copyright & Ownership
Silverhouse retains full copyright ownership of all created content. The client receives the usage rights specified in this agreement, but copyright remains with Silverhouse — allowing us to use the content for our own marketing, portfolio, and promotional purposes.
5. Attribution
While not required, attribution is appreciated when sharing content on social media or in marketing materials. Where provided, please credit “Photography by Silverhouse” or tag @silverhousehd.
6. Duration of License
The license for property-specific marketing use is perpetual for the commissioned property. If the property changes ownership, new owners must obtain separate licensing or commission new content.
7. Quality & Modifications
Content is delivered in professional quality suitable for all standard real estate marketing. Minor modifications for branding (logos, contact info) are permitted. Significant alterations that could affect image quality or property representation require approval.

8. Extended Licensing Options
