Document background
The Photography Usage Agreement is essential for protecting both photographers' rights and clients' interests in Nigeria's growing creative and digital economy. This document is typically used when a photographer or photography studio grants specific usage rights for their work to clients, whether for commercial, editorial, or promotional purposes. The agreement, governed by Nigerian law, particularly the Copyright Act (Cap. N97, LFN 2004), outlines crucial terms including usage scope, duration, territory, fees, and attribution requirements. It addresses both traditional and digital usage rights, considering the evolving landscape of digital media and online platforms. The document is particularly important given Nigeria's expanding media and advertising sectors, where clear usage rights and terms are essential for avoiding disputes and protecting intellectual property.
