Usage rights
← Back to glossaryDefinition
Usage defines the usage rights granted by the model for their images in a specific context: medium (print, digital, TV), duration, territory, exclusivity. The broader the usage, the higher the compensation. This contractual concept protects the model's image and ensures fair compensation based on the commercial value of the use. Agencies carefully negotiate these clauses to optimize revenue.
