Licensing Agreement
What you can do with the photos, video and floor plans from your shoot.
Every shoot comes with a licence to use the media Tour Shots creates for you: photos, video, floor plans and other content. Tour Shots Real Estate Media (“Tour Shots”) keeps the copyright, and you get the right to use the media as set out below.
Your licence
Which licence you get depends on what the shoot is for. Your licence is yours alone: it can’t be passed on to anyone else.
Listings

Market and sell the listing anywhere, for as long as you’re the listing agent: MLS and REALTOR.ca, your and your brokerage’s websites, social media, print, and video and virtual tours.
After it sells, keep using the media to promote yourself, like Just Sold posts and your past-sales page.
Rentals
Long-term rentals, property managers, Airbnb and other short-term rentals
Rent and promote the property anywhere, with no end date. Use the same photos every time it comes up for rent.
Unlimited Use

Copyright

Tour Shots may also show the media in its own portfolio, website, social media and advertising.
