A copyright verse

trader100

Hello there,
Recently a company has asked me if they can use one of my pictures in their shop window. They said a price & it was reasonable so I agreed. I need to come up with some wording for a release of the picture. Not full copyright, just for them to use it in their store.
Something like this:
You are not permitted to distribute the image or use it for commercial gain . The image is only for use in the <company name> store in <address>

Does that sound ok? I don't want the image sold ect or for them to take advantage. Maybe it could be worded better?

Any help appreciated
Thanks

From memory you are giving them a licence. Without specific advice, in such a licence you should give the terms under which they can use it (you covered that). Include how much they are paying, that they cannot transfer any of the rights you are giving them, the licence is exclusive to them. Also a line in that you can cancel the licence at any point is helpful it these cases.

Or maybe grant the license for a specific period of time? One year?

The easiest way out of this is to give them a 'right to use' for purely non-commercial purposes. Therefore you will retain copyright and all related rights in the material. Assigning a license could get messy.
