It is your responsibility to keep Blixel informed of your current email address via the account management tool made available to you by Blixel. Continued submission of Content or failure to terminate this Agreement within 30 days of Blixel notifying you of any changes to the Commission Schedule will be deemed acceptance by you of those changes and they will be incorporated by reference into this Agreement.

Standard Terms & Conditions

SECTION 1. Rights and Commissions.

1.1 License Grant to Blixel: You grant Blixel a worldwide, exclusive right to market and sublicense the right to copy, reproduce, display, transmit, broadcast, modify, alter, create derivative works of and publish the whole or part of any Content (as defined below) that you submit to Blixel. These rights may be exercised via any analog or digital means of communication now known or hereafter devised including without limitation via print, websites, other electronic formats, mobile devices, TV, cinema, exhibitions; and, subject to applicable laws, may be used for any purpose of any nature including without limitation for advertising, publicity, promotions, graphic design, marketing within and on products, corporate communications, press articles, press releases, brochures, reports, décor, programs and films. Blixel may sublicense or authorize any third-party distributors (“Distributors”), any customer who licenses Accepted Content from Blixel or a Distributor (“Clients”) and their customers to exercise the rights described in this Section 1. Blixel and Distributors will determine the terms and conditions of all licenses of Accepted Content granted by them, but will not use or license Accepted Content for uses that are defamatory, pornographic or otherwise illegal and will use commercially reasonable efforts to stop any such use by Clients brought to their attention. Blixel and Distributors may determine how Accepted Content may be marketed and may stop marketing or licensing it at any time. If Blixel notifies you that it has permanently stopped marketing and licensing any particular Accepted Content, the Agreement will be deemed to be terminated only with regards to that Accepted Content.

1.2 Types of Content: This Agreement will apply to the following types of content (the “Content”): (a) photographs, images, and other still visual representations (“Still Image(s)”); (b) illustrations, drawings, and cartoons (“Illustrations“); and (c) moving visual content in any form including, film, video tape, digital files, animation and clips (“Footage”); and (d) font, audio file and any other work protected by copyright, in all cases, generated by any means and in any format or medium, including any reproductions and any modifications and derivative works thereof.

1.3 Collections and Movement of Accepted Content: Accepted Content may be included in one or more of Blixel’s current or future Content collections (“Collections”) made available for licensing or distribution by Blixel or Distributors. Collections include, but are not limited to, Blixel Images, Blixel Illustrations, Blixel Videos, and Blixel Timecapsule. When you submit Content you will be asked to specify, where appropriate, the license model(s) through which the Content is available to be licensed. Blixel will determine the Collection and may subsequently move and license Accepted Content through any other license models and/or Collections. For Content that moves into a new license model and/or Collection, the Commissions of the new license model or Collection will apply going forward. Blixel will notify you of the move, including Accepted Content reference number(s), within 30 days of the move.

1.4 Commissions.  Commissions for Images and Illustrations will be paid based on an ad revenue model. A breakdown of this calculation can be found in the following document, How to Earn with Blixel. Commissions are based on the type of Accepted Content, license model and/or Collection through which Accepted Content is actually licensed. In all cases, the following deductions shall be made from Commission Fees before commissions are calculated: any (i) applicable VAT, duty, levy or impost of any nature required to be withheld, deducted or paid by Blixel from any current or future sums due to you by any law, regulation, or treaty (excluding: (a)  any taxes on the net profits of Blixel or any Distributor; and (b) any withholding taxes imposed on remittances to Blixel from countries outside of the United States); (ii) unauthorized use detection/enforcement fees and expenses; and (iii) shipping charges, insurance charges and service fees such as, for example, special formatting requests, printing/framing costs and technology delivery/access services, in all cases arising out of or resulting from any license of the same Accepted Content (“License Fee Deductions”).

1.5 The following Creator Commission rates (“Commissions”) are calculated for Accepted Video products based upon Blixel model of calculation. Product’s purchase price (sale price) is made up of 4 parts:

Purchase Price: The price the customer pays for the product (minus any applicable sales tax). The price is also listed on the video’s product page. The purchase price consists of the product price plus the buyer fee.

Video Product Price: The price paid to the creator for the product license (Blixel has two license types: standard license and extended license).

Buyer Fee: The portion of the purchase price that represents Blixel’s fee to the customer This is a fixed fee of $1.50. Images and Illustrations do not have a buyer fee.

Creator Commission: A portion (%) of the Product price that represents Blixel’s payment to the creator.

Product Price + Buyer Fee = Purchase Price.

Blixel pays Creators a “Creator Commission” on their Product Price when it sells. This commission is between 40-80%, depending on how many Products you sell; the more you sell, the higher your commission. Thus, high-performing creators are rewarded with more earnings.

1.6 Commission Deductions. Blixel may deduct the following amounts from the Commissions payable to you (together the “Commission Deductions”): (a) advances on earnings or commissions under any agreement with Blixel; (b) cancellations, partial refunds or other sales incentive rebates in respect of a license where the original sale has been reported in a current or past sales report (“Sales Report”) including where due to a fraudulent transaction; (c) overpayment of Commissions in a prior Commission period; and (d) amounts that may be deducted or withheld in accordance with the Section 2.2 Indemnification. Blixel will notify you of any Commission Deductions in a Sales Report before deducting amounts from payments to you. Other than Commissions for Content that is improperly credited to you or any cancellations under (b), if Blixel has not notified you of any Commission Deduction within 1 year after it has been incurred, Blixel waives the right to recoup it.

1.7 Reporting and Payment. Within 20 days after the end of each calendar month (the “Sales Month”), Blixel will make available to you a Sales Report for transactions reported during the Sales Month. The Sales Report will state the Commissions due to you, any Commission Deductions and will also include the following information for Accepted Content other than Content licensed via a royalty-free license model: (a) the invoice number or transaction identifier and date; and (b) where appropriate, the rights granted by a license. Blixel will make Commission Payments monthly, within 60 days after the end of each Sales Month, via PayPal. No payment will be made unless a minimum of US$50.00 (or local currency alternative), after Commission Deductions, is due to you.

1.8 Aggregated Licensing. Blixel may offer license models and price agreements that will make Content available for use by Clients on a high-volume basis. Accordingly, where appropriate, the amount due to you will be determined according to: (a) the ratio of the number of individual items of your Accepted Content to the total number of individual items of Content licensed together; or (b) in Blixel’s discretion, the relative value of the Accepted Content compared to all other Content licensed together with it. In addition, the frequency and methodology for reporting and paying Commissions may also vary in order to facilitate such high-volume licensing. In all cases, the Commission rate applied shall be as set out in the Commercial Terms, except as may be varied according to the Commission Schedule.

1.9 Consumer Products/Services. Blixel may include Accepted Content within direct-to-consumer products and services (as opposed to Blixel or Distributors licensing to Clients for such uses) including, without limitation, within merchandise and on websites that primarily generate revenue from advertising. The amount due to you will be determined in the same way as under Section 1.7.

1.10 Restrictions. The Submission Requirements allow you to specify certain use restrictions for Content at the time of submission. Blixel will notify Clients of all such restrictions that you submit with such Accepted Content.

1.11 Marketing Use of Accepted Content. Blixel and Distributors may use Accepted Content to market you, your work, Blixel, or Distributors, including use in composites that include Content supplied by a third party. No commissions will be paid on these marketing uses.

1.12 Right to Control Claims. Blixel shall have the right to determine, using its best commercial judgment, whether and to what extent to proceed against any third party for any unauthorized use of Accepted Content. You authorize Blixel and Distributors at their expense the exclusive right to make, control, settle and defend any claims related to infringement of copyright in the Accepted Content and any associated intellectual property rights (“Claims”). You agree to provide reasonable cooperation to Blixel and Distributors and not to unreasonably withhold or delay your cooperation in these Claims. Blixel will not enter into any settlement that will compromise your ownership of the copyright in Accepted Content or that prohibits your future conduct with respect to Accepted Content without your prior written consent. Blixel will pay you Commissions on any settlements it receives from Claims. If Blixel elects not to pursue a Claim, you will have the right to pursue it.

1.13 Use of Accepted Content by you. On a non-exclusive basis, you may use Accepted Content and any Similars for promoting or documenting you and your work, provided that these uses do not compete with or limit the rights granted to Blixel under the Agreement. You must obtain Blixel’s prior written consent to use rights-managed creative or rights-managed editorial Accepted Content on the cover of a self-promotional book to ensure that your use does not conflict with any licenses that Blixel may have previously issued. On an exclusive basis you may use Accepted Content and any Similars for: for Footage originally created for an edited program, use within that edited program, including the sale or license as a complete cut of that edited program such as for television, film, commercial or documentary use.

1.14 Copyright to Accepted Content and other Works. Subject to the rights granted in this Agreement, you will retain all right, title and interest, including copyright, in all Accepted Content including when it is incorporated in a derivative work created by others. Blixel will own all right, title and interest, including all copyrights that arise apart from the copyright in your Accepted Content, to all types of derivative works created by or for Blixel that contain multiple items of Accepted Content and/or other Content. Either you or Blixel on behalf of you may register the copyright in any Accepted Content with the relevant copyright authority.

1.15 Credit and Moral Rights. Using the credit line supplied by you, Blixel shall use commercially reasonable efforts to credit you as the source of Accepted Content, but shall have no liability for lack of credit. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Moral Rights” means all non-transferable and non-licensable rights belonging to the original creator of Accepted Content that are automatically conferred by legislation to varying degrees in different countries, which shall include the following rights and all rights of a similar nature: (a) the right to be identified as the creator; (b) the right to object to misrepresentative modification of Accepted Content; and (c) the right to withdraw Accepted Content from the market (except pursuant to the termination provisions of this Agreement). To the extent allowed by law, you waive all your Moral Rights relating to Accepted Content. To the extent such waivers are not permitted by applicable law, you agree not to enforce such moral rights against Blixel, Distributors or Clients. Where you are not the owner of any Moral Rights, you confirm that all Moral Rights have been waived to this same extent or that you have obtained the same commitments not to enforce Moral Rights.

Blixel will honor one audit request per calendar year, upon 60 days notice. If an underpayment is discovered in an audit, Blixel will pay you interest based on the average one month LIBOR rate for the period under audit on the amount due from the date payment was due, correct the books and records, and will pay any amounts due (subject to any applicable Commission Deductions) within 30 days after the amount due is finally determined.

Blixel reserves the right to disclose any information you provide in order to respond to claims or protect the rights, property or safety of itself, its related companies, Distributors and their employees, customers or the public.
