Video License Rider
LIMITED HOME USE VIDEO RECORDING PERMISSION
WHEN SIGNED IN THE SPACES INDICATED BELOW, AND UPON RECEIPT BY MTI OF LICENSEE’S PAYMENT OF SEVENTY-FIVE DOLLARS ($75.00), THE FOLLOWING TERMS SHALL CONSTITUTE AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN
(THE “LICENSEE”) AND MUSIC THEATRE INTERNATIONAL (“MTI”), GRANTING LICENSEE LIMITED PERMISSION TO MAKE ONE VIDEO RECORDING OF LICENSEE’S PRODUCTION OF THE PLAY ENTITLED
1. Notwithstanding the prohibition against any video recording whatsoever in the Performance License previously granted to Licensee by MTI for the live stage performance of the Play, MTI, having secured permission from The Walt Disney Company for the creation by Licensee of a performance video recording hereby permits Licensee to make one video recording for each cast in different performances of your production of the Play subject to Licensee’s strict observance of the conditions set forth herein.
2. A video recording of the Play (the “Video recording”) may be created by Licensee as a non-commercial venture for archival purposes, which video recording may not be sold, leased or rented except as provided as herein. Alternatively, Licensee may hire an outside party to professionally make one video recording of the Play provided that such video recording may only be used (a) for archival purposes, and/or (b) to make additional copies of the recording that may be sold to participants in the Play or their families for their own personal, at-home (i.e., non-commercial use). Such outside party may not use the name “Disney” or any other trademarks of The Walt Disney Company in any way, except to indicate the content of the video recording. In addition, Licensee may authorize participants in the Play (i.e., cast, crew, creative team) or their families to create a video recording of the Play solely for their own personal, at-home (i.e., non-commercial) use.
3. As a condition to the rights granted herein, Licensee agrees to use good faith efforts to inform all audience members of the restrictions and limitations on video recording and the subsequent use thereof, as set forth herein. At a minimum, Licensee agrees to include a statement in the Play’s program substantially in the form provided below and shall further inform audience members of the below limitations by way of an announcement prior to the start of each performance of the Play:
ANY VIDEO RECORDING MADE OF THIS PERFORMANCE IS AUTHORIZED FOR PERSONAL, AT-HOME, NON-COMMERCIAL USE ONLY. THE SALE OR DISTRIBUTION OF SUCH RECORDING IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED UNDER FEDERAL COPYRIGHT LAW.
4. In no event may any video recording of the Play authorized herein, either in whole or in part, be otherwise reproduced and/or disseminated in any way, including broadcasting, televising, sale or electronic transmission and/or posting on the Internet.
5. Licensee understands that its failure to follow the above requirements, even if inadvertent, will incur liability for statutory copyright infringement under federal law. Licensee agrees that, without limiting any other recovery that MTI may obtain against Licensee, whether at law or at equity, for its breach of this Agreement, Licensee shall, at a minimum, reimburse MTI for its out-of-pocket legal fees and shall pay to MTI damages equal to three times the total license royalty fees paid or payable to MTI by Licensee for its production of the Play.
6. All other provisions, terms and conditions of the License Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.
