Key terms that apply to every project, gallery, and delivered file.
Micah J. Zimmerman owns the copyright in the original photographs, videos, and other media he creates, and in the original content of this website. Amdak Productions, LLC is the licensing business through which that media is delivered and licensed. The work is not created as a work made for hire. Payment in full activates the client's license. Payment does not transfer ownership. Copyright is assigned only through a separate written assignment or a project agreement that expressly says so.
After payment in full: a non-exclusive, non-transferable, US-only license for MLS and listing sites, the client's social media and website, and marketing for the client and their brokerage. The listing license covers the commissioned listing period, plus a continuing portfolio / "just sold" right. A re-list of the same property requires a new license.
A non-exclusive, non-transferable, perpetual publicity-and-collateral license for the named client, beginning on payment in full: website and project pages, organic social, awards and submissions, press and trade editorial, proposals and recruitment. Out-of-home, vehicle wraps, paid national advertising, packaging, and use by other project parties require a separate written license.
Agents within the same brokerage may use the media for brokerage marketing, but not as their own personal creative work. Sharing outside the brokerage needs Amdak's written consent.
Amdak's media may not be used as training data or inputs for generative AI or machine learning systems without Amdak's written consent.
Minor technical adjustments for layout or format are fine. Substantial re-editing, heavy cropping, creative grading, or derivative works need Amdak's written permission.
Amdak may use the media it creates for any purpose it deems appropriate, including portfolio, social media, marketing and advertising (including paid advertisements), editorial features, nonprofit gifts, reels and case studies, demonstration and educational purposes, and licensing — except where an NDA or specific agreement limits it.
If media is used outside the scope of the license or in violation of the Terms, Amdak may revoke the license and pursue any remedies available under applicable law.

The information, terms, contracts, and policies provided on this website and in any documents, estimates, proposals, or agreements are for general informational purposes only and do not constitute legal advice. Nothing on this website or in any communication from Amdak Productions, LLC creates an attorney-client relationship.

All agreements and disputes shall be governed by the laws of the State of North Dakota, without regard to conflict of law principles. Disputes will be brought in the state courts of Cass County, North Dakota whenever venue there is available. Where governing law determines venue — including copyright, trademark, and other claims arising under federal law — the matter will proceed in the court with proper jurisdiction and venue over those claims.
