Copyright Waiver Agreement

"I need a Copyright Waiver Agreement for my photography business where I'm waiving rights to a collection of 50 nature photographs that will be used in a public exhibition starting March 2025, but I want to retain the right to use them in my portfolio."

Document background
A Copyright Waiver Agreement is essential when a copyright owner wishes to surrender their rights in a work, either partially or completely. This document, governed by Singapore law, outlines the scope of rights being waived, any limitations or conditions, and addresses moral rights considerations under the Copyright Act 2021. It's particularly useful in collaborative projects, open-source initiatives, or situations where the copyright owner wants to make their work freely available for use by others. The agreement ensures legal certainty for both parties and helps prevent future disputes over copyright ownershIP or usage rights.
