4A. USAGE

4A.1 Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the fee quoted includes a non‑exclusive licence for the Client to use the final deliverables for a period of 12 months from first publication, for organic use on the Client’s own channels (including website, email, and social media), and in internal communications.

4A.2 The licence does not include use in paid media or above‑the‑line advertising such as TV or VOD broadcast, cinema, out‑of‑home, paid social, programmatic, or any third‑party media placements. Any such usage must be agreed in advance and will be subject to additional fees.

4A.3 Extensions to the usage period, expansion to new territories, or additional media (including but not limited to TV, VOD, cinema, out‑of‑home and paid digital campaigns) can be licensed on request and will be quoted separately.

4A.4 Until all fees (including any agreed usage fees) are paid in full, no licence is granted and the Client shall not exploit the deliverables in any form. Upon full payment, the Client is entitled to the use of the final deliverables as specified in the brief. DRIFT retains ownership of raw footage, project files (e.g. DaVinci Resolve, Adobe files), and working materials unless separately agreed.​
