2. This agreement is in addition to EditStock’s Terms of Use as well as any additional agreement that may be therein, all of which you acknowledge that you have read and understand, and in the case of the Terms of Use, accept.  In the event of any inconsistency between this Agreement and its incorporated agreements, the terms of this Agreement shall govern.
3. Please read this Agreement carefully.  This Agreement limits EditStock’s liability and may substantively affect your rights.  We encourage you to print a copy of this Agreement for your records.

Offer of License by Submission

1. By submitting Content to EditStock, you are offering EditStock a worldwide, non-exclusive license to the Content pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.  If EditStock accepts your offer, EditStock will obtain a non-exclusive license to the accepted Content; however, you will retain full ownership of your Content, and no copyright or title will be transferred.  For purposes of clarity, you will retain all right, title, and interest in all Content except to the extent you have granted these rights to EditStock under this Agreement for the purpose of distributing, marketing, and licensing the Content accepted by EditStock.
2. You acknowledge and accept that EditStock has the right but not the obligation to sublicense your submitted Content to end users (“Sub-Licensees”) under the terms of the EditStock Terms of Agreement and any other such agreement as you may have authorized EditStock to use, and that Sub-Licensees may make broad use of licensed Content and are under no obligation to inform you or EditStock of any usage thereof.  Further, you waive (or have procured a valid and enforceable waiver of) the following “moral rights” relating to the Content: (i) the right to be identified as the author of the Content; and (ii) the right to object to the modification of any Content.

Submission Process

1. Once you have agreed to the terms of this Agreement and provided all information as required by EditStock, you may upload, mail in, or deliver Content to the site in accordance with the Contributor guidelines provided by EditStock.
2. EditStock has the right but no the obligation to accept or refuse any offered Content at its discretion for any reason, and will notify you of its decision via email.  In the event that EditStock refuses your submission, your offer of license will terminate, and EditStock will obtain no rights in the reused Content.  In the event that EditStock accepts your submission, the license granted hereunder will become effective.
3. EditStock reserves the right to delete, move, refuse to accept or edit any Content that EditStock may determine, in its sole discretion, violates or may violate this Agreement, the law, the intellectual property rights or any other rights of others, or any of EditStock’s policies.  You hereby agree to forfeit any fees payable in respect of such violating or illegal Content to EditStock or as it may direct. EditStock shall have the right but not the obligation to correct any errors or omissions in any Content, as it may determine in it’s sole discretion.  You acknowledge that any screening of Content performed by EditStock to determine accepted Content is done as a courtesy only, and EditStock shall have no liability therefore.  You acknowledge that EditStock is not providing legal advice, or quality control services to you.

Scope of License 

1. The license granted hereunder shall permit EditStock to sublicense the Content to Sub-Licensees under the terms of Use Policy and any other such agreement as you may from time to time authorize EditStock to use. You acknowledge that EditStock is not responsible for the compliance by purchasers and licensees of the terms of the License Agreement and you acknowledge and agree to the possibility of Content being used in a manner that is not contemplated in this Agreement or the Royalty Free License. You also agree that, notwithstanding any rights you may have to pursue the licensees of such Content at law, EditStock shall have no liability to you or any person claiming through you for any breach by a licensee of the terms of any agreement respecting the accepted Content.  In addition, you acknowledge that EditStock may grant sublicensees throughout the term of this Agreement, and that the terms of such sublicensees are perpetual.
2. The license granted hereunder shall further permit EditStock to utilize the Content for purposes of advertising, marketing, and promoting the site (“Promotional Uses”), including but not limited to the use of the Content and derivative works thereof on the site.  Such Promotional Uses shall not entitle you to any compensation nor create any additional relationship or responsibilities between you and EditStock. If your relationship with EditStock ends, they may continue to use any marketing material which has already been created using the accepted materials.
3. The license granted hereunder shall further permit EditStock to edit, convert, sample, color correct, crop, and otherwise composite the Content, for the purposes of sub-licensing such Content to Sub-Licensees under the terms of this Contributor Agreement.
4. You give EditStock the right to use your name and biographical information in connection with the promotion, marketing, or advertising of your Content, you, or EditStock. EditStock will use reasonable efforts to identify you as the creator of the Content, and will advise, but not obligate Sub-licensees to credit you when in the Sub-Licensee’s judgement doing so is appropriate and feasible.  Any such credit may include references to EditStock as licensor of the Content.

Pricing and Payment of Contributor's Fees

At EditStock’s sole discretion, EditStock may make payment to you including Contributor’s Fee’s accrued through the 15th, however such early payments shall have no precedential value, and EditStock may change any early payment policy at any time. 
3.
