Stock Footage Licensing Terms and Conditions (Clip Packs & SELECT)

Thank you for purchasing stock footage from Chris Homer. Please read the following terms and conditions carefully as they govern the use of the clips you have purchased, whether via a curated Clip Pack or the custom SELECT license. By completing your purchase, you agree to abide by these terms.

1. Delivery of Files

  • Clip Packs: Upon successful purchase of a pre-curated Pack, you will receive a download link to the files within 24 hours (usually within 1 hour).

  • SELECT License (Single & Bundles):

    • After purchasing a SELECT license, you must complete the selection form to identify your required clips.

    • Delivery times (within 24 hours, usually 1 hour) commence once the selection form has been received.

    • For "Banked Credits" (see Section 2), download links will be generated individually as and when you redeem your credits in the future.

  • All download links will be sent to the email address used during the purchase or specified on the selection form.

  • For urgent requests or special arrangements, please contact Chris Homer directly.

2. SELECT License & Credit System

If purchasing a multi-clip bundle via the SELECT license, the following specific terms apply:

  • Credits: One "Credit" equals the license for one individual video clip file from the archive.

  • Validity: Credits purchased via the SELECT bundles do not expire. They remain valid indefinitely until you are ready to redeem them.

  • Redemption: You may redeem all credits immediately or "bank" them for future projects. To redeem banked credits at a later date, simply contact Chris Homer with your original order number and your new clip selection.

  • Refunds on Credits: Bundles are sold as a discounted package. Partial refunds are not available for unused credits. Once a bundle is purchased, the value is retained in clips (credits), not cash.

3. Usage License

The clips are sold with a broad usage license that permits their use for any audience, including broadcast television, film, and web.

  • Responsibility: It is the buyer’s responsibility to ensure appropriate use of the clips, including determining whether the use is commercial or editorial. Some clips may depict identifiable landmarks, logos, or individuals; it is up to the buyer to verify clearance for their intended use.

  • Ownership: Chris Homer retains the copyright to all footage sold. By purchasing, the buyer is acquiring a license to use the clips, not ownership of the content.

  • Model Releases: Chris Homer’s personal image within the clips is model-released and can be used without further restriction. All other elements may be limited to editorial use, and the buyer assumes responsibility for compliance.

4. Prohibited Uses

  • AI Training: Clips must not be used for Artificial Intelligence (AI) generation, machine learning, or training datasets.

  • Resale: Clips must not be resold, redistributed, or sublicensed in any form, including as part of another stock footage library or collection.

  • Unedited Publication: Clips must not be published or distributed in their unedited entirety (e.g., uploading the raw clip to YouTube as your own content).

  • Illegal/Defamatory: The clips may not be used in any context that is defamatory, obscene, or otherwise violates applicable laws or regulations.

  • False Endorsement: Clips may not be used in a manner that falsely implies sponsorship, endorsement, or association with any third party or brand.

5. Payment Terms

  • Payment can be made securely via credit card.

  • Invoice and bank transfer, including BIC/IBAN, is available as an alternate payment method upon request.

  • All prices include UK VAT at 20%.

6. Liability & Indemnity

  • Chris Homer is the seller and provider of the clips. While no distinction is made between commercial and editorial use at the point of sale, the buyer assumes full responsibility for ensuring legal compliance with their intended use.

  • Chris Homer is not liable for any legal claims arising from the misuse of the footage or failure to obtain necessary permissions.

  • The footage is sold as-is, and Chris Homer accepts no responsibility for its use beyond the license granted.

  • Indemnity: The buyer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Chris Homer from any legal actions or liabilities arising from the misuse of the footage.

7. Additional Information

  • The clips are provided as-is, without warranties of any kind, express or implied.

  • By purchasing, you acknowledge that you have reviewed the content and accept all associated risks and responsibilities regarding its use.

  • For any inquiries, additional requests, or support, please contact Chris Homer via www.ChrisHomer.uk.

8. Low-Resolution Screeners / Preview Files

Upon request via the free “Request Free Low-Resolution Screeners (720p Watermarked Previews)” product, Chris Homer may provide low-resolution (typically 720p), watermarked, low-bitrate preview files (“Screeners”) of one or more Clip Packs, or in some cases portions of the entire library.

  • Screeners are supplied free of charge solely for evaluation and offline editing purposes.

  • They remain watermarked and may not be used in any final production, broadcast, distribution, or public display.

  • Watermarks may not be removed, cropped, or obscured, and Screeners may not be shared with third parties outside your immediate production team or client.

  • Provision of Screeners does not grant any license to the underlying footage. Full-resolution, unwatermarked 4K files require purchase of the relevant Clip Pack or a SELECT custom bundle.

  • All other terms in these Stock Footage Terms & Conditions (including prohibited uses and copyright) apply fully to Screeners.

Thank you for your purchase, and enjoy creating with these clips!
