Client License Terms

Applies to Property Solutions work — listing, leasing, and property marketing media. Once the project is paid in full, property clients receive a non-exclusive, non-transferable, United States–only license to:

• Use the media on MLS platforms and property listing websites related to the property;
• Use the media on social media, the client's website, and in advertising and marketing for the client and their brokerage;
• Use the media in marketing materials that accurately represent their professional services.

Listing term — what the license covers, and for how long

The license is granted for the specific listing or leasing engagement the media was commissioned for. Active listing marketing — MLS entry and syndication, listing sites and portals, listing-specific ads, brochures, flyers, and signage — is licensed for that listing period only, and ends when the listing expires, is withdrawn or cancelled, or the property sells or leases.

After the listing ends, you keep a continuing, non-transferable right to use the media for your own marketing: portfolio, "just sold" and track-record posts, social media, your website, listing presentations, and personal brand advertising.

Re-listing the same property

Your continuing right does not include marketing the property again. If the property is re-listed — by you, by another agent, or by another brokerage — a new listing license is required before the media appears in any new listing, new MLS entry, or new listing materials. This applies whether the property is re-listed a week later or a year later.

Re-list licenses for a prior client are offered at a reduced rate. Licenses do not travel with the property or the listing: a new agent or brokerage taking over must license the media directly from Amdak. Please contact us to arrange either.

A few limits

• The media may not be transferred, sold, gifted, or sublicensed to third parties outside the brokerage — including other agents, builders, sellers, stagers, or third-party marketers — without Amdak's written consent.
• Other agents within the same brokerage may use the media for clear brokerage marketing of that listing during the listing term, but not to present it as their own personal creative work and not for a later re-list.
• Substantial re-editing, heavy cropping, creative color grading, or other derivative works require Amdak's written permission. Minor technical adjustments for layout or format are fine.
• The media may not be used with AI tools, machine learning models, or generative systems without Amdak's prior written consent.
• Copyright notices, watermarks, and embedded metadata must be left intact.

Micah J. Zimmerman retains copyright as the author; Amdak Productions, LLC handles the licensing. You receive a non-exclusive, non-transferable, perpetual publicity-and-collateral license for the named client only. Rights begin on payment in full.

A magazine may run a news or trade story about the project. Buying print advertising, reprints, or a large circulation campaign is not included. Vehicle wraps, fleet graphics, billboards, and other paid placements require a separate written license. Other project parties need their own license.

For projects with confidentiality requirements, we'll put an NDA or project-specific agreement in place that controls over these general terms.

Applies to brand films, team and executive imagery, culture and recruiting content, and corporate campaign media. Once the project is paid in full, clients receive a non-exclusive, non-transferable, United States–only license to use the deliverables in their own marketing and communications — website, social media, email, trade shows, recruiting, internal communications, and organic campaigns.

Paid advertising, broadcast, and out-of-home placement are covered when the written agreement says so; otherwise they're a simple add-on. Talent, model, and location releases for people and places appearing in the media are the client's responsibility.

The media may not be sublicensed, resold, or handed to third-party agencies for use outside the client's own brand, and substantial re-editing or derivative works require Amdak's written permission. Minor technical adjustments for format and layout are fine.

Applies to development brand films, deck-ready asset packages, aerial context imagery, and executive media created for capital and stakeholder communication. Once the project is paid in full, clients receive a non-exclusive, non-transferable, United States–only license to use the deliverables in:

• Pitch decks, offering materials, LP and investor updates, and board presentations;
• Investor-day events, community and public-approval meetings, and municipal presentations;
• The client's own project marketing, website, and social media.

Development partners, lenders, and equity partners may view and receive materials as part of these communications, but the license does not transfer to them for their own independent marketing. Ownership changes, entity sales, and successor developers need a new license.

Where a raise is confidential, we'll put an NDA or project-specific agreement in place that controls over these general terms.

Unless a signed NDA or project agreement limits it, Amdak may use the media it creates for:

• Portfolio, website, and case studies;
• Social media and reels;
• Demonstration and educational purposes;
• Licensing the media to other companies;
• Repurposing clips, stills, and excerpts from the delivered work.

Clients and third parties may not use my media as training data or as inputs for generative AI, machine learning, or similar automated systems without my prior written consent.

Only Amdak Productions may decide when and how its own media is used in AI workflows, subject to any applicable client agreements.

If the media is used outside the scope of the license or in violation of these terms, Amdak may revoke the license and pursue any remedies available under applicable law.

Ownership, license limits, and these remedies continue to apply after delivery, project completion, and listing expiration.

When a project calls for copyright to transfer, we sign a short addendum in addition to the project agreement. Sample language:

"Micah J. Zimmerman assigns to [Client] all right, title, and interest, including copyright, in the following identified deliverables: [list deliverables]."

"This assignment is limited to the deliverables listed above and does not extend to raw files, project files, or any other work created by Micah J. Zimmerman. Micah J. Zimmerman retains a non-exclusive right to display the deliverables for portfolio, case study, and educational purposes unless a separate NDA states otherwise."

If the parties sign a separate written copyright assignment, that assignment is effective only as stated in that signed document. Unless that document says otherwise, payment in full activates a license and does not transfer copyright.

This page describes general terms. Your signed proposal, project agreement, NDA, or assignment addendum controls if anything differs.
