Licensing

The fee we charge is for licensing the use of the images we create.

Purchasing a usage license does not transfer ownership of the images you, the client, as ownership remains with the creator but instead doing so allows you to use the images in your marketing and campaigns, both in print and online. It is important that the correct usage license is purchased as allowable usage varies.

The prices associated with our different licenses are reflective of the scope of use, as well as volume of time given to both the capture and retouching of the imagery.  

Licenses that have been purchased cannot be transferred without the written consent of Diopik.

Our Standard and Extended Licenses are explained below:

Standard Usage License

Real Estate Agents / Private Sellers

Our Standard Usage License allows the use of the licensed work for the duration of the specific sales or rental campaign for which the work has been booked in for, and only by the client who has paid for it. The client may use the licensed work in both online and print media to advertise said campaign and related marketing, but the licensed work may not be used for any other purpose nor sold or transferred in any capacity.

In addition, the licensed work may not be provided to, or be used by any other company or individual such as builders or stylists etc without permission and purchase of usage from Diopik.

In the case that the property does not sell or lease (depending on the type of campaign), further campaigns will require re-licensing of the images.

In the case that a new client wishes to use images previously licensed to someone else, permission must be granted by both Diopik and the previous agency to do so. In addition to this, the new client must purchase the appropriate Usage License to then use the requested images.

Extended Usage License

Builder / Stylist / Architect / Interior Designer / Short Stay

Our Extended Usage License allows for broader use of the commissioned images, as well as a longer duration spent on the preparation, capture and retouching of the images. The increased cost of this license is reflective of this increase in scope.

The use of images commissioned through the Extended Usage License is not time restricted, and as such the client may use the images in a long-term capacity. This allows the use of the images to extend beyond the marketing campaign the work was booked in for.

The client may use the licensed work in both online and print media in any advertising, but the licensed work may not be sold or transferred in any capacity.

The usage of the images is restricted to the client or company which has purchased the usage license, and in addition; the licensed work may not be provided to, or be used by any other company or individual (such as contractors or company clients) without permission and purchase of usage from Diopik.

In the case that a new individual wishes to use images previously licensed to someone else, permission must be granted by both Diopik and the previous client to do so. In addition to this, the new client must purchase the appropriate Usage License to then use the requested images.

 
 

Floor Plans

All measurements, scale, surfaces, furnishings and elements of our floor plans are approximate and are provided for illustrative purposes only and should be verified on site.

No consideration is made for wall thickness nor eaves on our floor plans.

Floor Plan prices are provided as an estimate, and will be finalized after measurement. Square meterage is calculated via total area measured which includes verandahs and detached structures etc, and is not based on the residence area alone.

Our Site Plans do not ordinarily cover common property, nor any areas outside the boundaries of the dwelling being measured. If these areas are required, a strata map or similar document is needed in order to include these areas on any drawings.

‘Re-Draws + On Site Visit’ provides a short attendance to site to verify and provide minor updates to existing floor plans. Doing so allows for the inclusion of missing room dimensions and small additions or changes following renovations. The addition of site plans is not included in this product.

Cancellation Policy

If a booking is cancelled or postponed within 1 hour of the scheduled commencement time, a cancellation fee of $65 will apply.

Upon on-site arrival, if properties are found to be inaccessible or unprepared, or in the event of a missed appointment, a call-out fee of $110 will be applicable.

If a Portrait Session is cancelled or postponed with more than 1 hours notice but less than 48 hours, a studio booking fee of $50 will apply.

Ownership

All photographs and imagery created by Diopik, as well as the associated Intellectual Property rights and Copyright holdings belong exclusively to Diopik.

As such, we may use our imagery to promote and advertise our business in both online and print media, at any time.

Moral Rights

These are separate rights owned by Diopik as creator of our works. Moral rights are always owned by the author and are non-transferable by us. These include:

  • The right to be identified as the author of our work whenever it is published;

  • The right to take action against any mistreatment of our work.
