These Terms & Conditions are governed by Italian law (Law 633/1941 on copyright) and are binding only in their Italian version. The English translation below is provided for convenience.
Legal terms for use of content
The STUDIO is the sole holder of the copyright on all content it produces. Any use or publication requires the STUDIO's written authorisation. Any abuse will be prosecuted under the law, worldwide.
All authorisation requests may be sent to: info@monsterwebagency.com.
No one is allowed to appropriate images via screenshots and publish them in any form without the STUDIO's permission. Taking a screenshot is equivalent to misappropriation; the offence is aggravated if the content is used as one's own (e.g. published on one's own channels) and even more so if any modification is applied that alters its original essence (the classic example is applying a personal filter). Content may be used only when expressly sent by the STUDIO (after clients receive their material we also forward it to all suppliers).
The look (post-production) applied by the STUDIO is an integral part of the photograph or video and belongs to the STUDIO; it is part of its style and artistic universe. The STUDIO alone decides which post-treatment is applied. Only STUDIO-edited material may be used. It is an offence to use authorised content modifying its aesthetic characteristics (e.g. applying a filter).
Permanent download, in whole or in part, of images and videos is not permitted, nor any other use or processing that may harm copyright.
Photographs, videos and any multimedia material created by the STUDIO during a session with the CLIENT are protected by copyright. In consideration of the agreed price, the STUDIO transfers to the CLIENT the following economic copyrights for personal use: printing and reproduction of photos and videos worldwide for the full duration of copyright.
Any other use of the material requires a prior written agreement with the STUDIO. Commercial use of session images by the CLIENT is not authorised unless previously agreed in writing.
Even after delivery, digital files remain the intellectual property of the STUDIO and are not royalty-free. Any personal use (online publication, exhibition, etc.) must credit the STUDIO. The CLIENT may not modify files without the STUDIO's prior written consent.
Pursuant to Article 98 of Italian Law no. 633 of 22 April 1941 and the Italian Supreme Court ruling no. 4094 of 28 June 1980, RAW files are deemed property of the STUDIO, which undertakes to keep them with care and not to share them with third parties.
The STUDIO may, upon CLIENT request, agree to transfer the RAW files for an additional fee, to be agreed based on the STUDIO's price list at the time of request.
The STUDIO undertakes to keep all created files for a maximum of 365 days from creation; after that period the STUDIO declines any request and responsibility.
Upon full payment, the CLIENT acquires the rights mentioned above, with the obligation not to harm the STUDIO's public image.
