Creator Services Agreement

You work for yourself, carry your own insurance, and every file you shoot belongs to the client, never to you.

Version
1.1
Effective
October 25, 2026
Provided by
StudyMyVisuals LLC, doing business as RealShot

The short version

  • You are an independent contractor, not an employee. You choose your shoots and handle your own taxes, equipment and insurance.
  • RealShot accepts no liability for injury, loss or damage at a shoot, to you, your gear, the client or the location.
  • Everything you shoot on a booking is assigned to StudyMyVisuals LLC and then to the client. You may not keep, post or use it, including in your portfolio, without the client's written permission.
  • Delete every copy within 7 days of delivery.
  • Breaking these rules means a permanent ban, and RealShot will pursue legal action and damages.

01This agreement

This Creator Services Agreement ("Agreement") is between you, the photographer or videographer ("you" or "Creator"), and StudyMyVisuals LLC, doing business as RealShot ("RealShot"). It applies to every booking you accept through RealShot, together with the Terms of Service and the Community Guidelines. You sign it electronically by checking the box and typing your full legal name.

02Independent contractor

  • You provide services as an independent contractor. Nothing in this Agreement makes you an employee, partner, joint venturer or agent of RealShot, and you have no authority to bind RealShot.
  • You decide whether to accept a booking and how to perform the work, subject to the booking's scope and these rules.
  • You supply your own equipment, transport and insurance, and pay your own expenses.
  • You are responsible for your own taxes. RealShot will report payments to you on the tax forms the law requires. You are not entitled to employee benefits from RealShot.

03Approval and standards

  • You must be at least 18, pass identity verification and a background check, and have sample work approved for each service you offer (photography, videography or both).
  • Everything you tell RealShot about your experience, equipment, licenses and work must be true and kept up to date.
  • You must hold any license or permit the law requires for the work you do.

04Performing a booking

  • Arrive on time, prepared, and with working equipment.
  • Deliver the full scope of the booking. Video is recorded in 4K resolution, in the orientation the client chose (vertical or horizontal). Photos are high-resolution JPEGs with standard color and exposure correction.
  • Upload every file from the booking to RealShot using the method RealShot designates, in time to meet the delivery deadline. RealShot delivers files to the client. Never send them to the client yourself.
  • Follow the client's lawful instructions and the location's rules. Never film in restricted areas or unsafe conditions.

05Going Online

  • Going Online shares your live location with clients on the RealShot booking map, so they can see you and book you nearby. It is shown only while you are Online and is deleted when you go offline. RealShot keeps no history of it.
  • Keep RealShot open while you are Online. If RealShot stops receiving your location for about 2 minutes, you go offline automatically.
  • Go offline whenever you are not available to take a booking.

06Insurance and risk

You carry your own insurance, including general liability insurance and coverage for your equipment. RealShot does not insure you, your equipment or your shoots. If RealShot later offers coverage through a third-party provider, it will tell you in writing, and only the terms of that coverage will apply.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, RealShot accepts no liability for any injury, death, loss, theft or damage during or in connection with a shoot, whether to you, your equipment, the client, other people, or the client's shoot location and property. You perform shoots at your own risk.

07Cancellations and no-shows

Cancel a booking you accepted only for a genuine reason, and as early as possible. Late cancellations and no-shows count against your account. Repeated cancellations or no-shows lead to suspension or removal. RealShot may reassign any booking to another Creator.

08Ownership of everything you shoot

All photos, video, audio, raw and edited files, and any other material you create in connection with a booking ("Booking Content") belong to the client, not to you.

To make that so, you hereby assign to StudyMyVisuals LLC, automatically as each item is created, all right, title and interest in all Booking Content, including all copyrights and the right to sue for past infringement. StudyMyVisuals LLC may then assign it to the client, as the Client Booking & Usage Rights Terms provide.

You waive, and agree never to assert, any moral rights, rights of attribution or similar rights in Booking Content, to the fullest extent the law allows.

You will sign any document RealShot reasonably requests to confirm or record these assignments. If you do not, you appoint RealShot as your attorney-in-fact solely to sign it for you.

If you use your own presets, LUTs or similar tools, you keep them, and you grant StudyMyVisuals LLC and the client a perpetual, royalty-free license to use them as part of the Booking Content.

09No personal use of Booking Content

Unless the client gives you written permission through RealShot, you may not:

  • publish Booking Content anywhere, including a portfolio, website, reel or social media;
  • use it in any advertising, sell it, license it, or submit it to stock sites or contests;
  • use it to train or prompt any AI system; or
  • keep, copy or share it beyond what is needed to upload it to RealShot.

10Deleting files

Within 7 days of delivery, delete every copy of the Booking Content you hold, on memory cards, drives, computers, phones and cloud storage, including backups. Confirm in writing that you have done so whenever RealShot asks.

11Confidentiality and client privacy

  • Use client names, addresses, phone numbers, shoot details and footage only to complete the booking. Never share or sell them.
  • Keep Booking Content secure while you hold it.
  • If Booking Content or client information is lost, stolen or exposed, tell RealShot at support@realshot.app within 24 hours.

12Staying on RealShot

Do not ask or allow clients you meet through RealShot to book, pay or work with you outside RealShot. All payment for bookings goes through RealShot.

13Payment

RealShot collects payment from clients. Your rates, any fees, and when and how you are paid out are set out in the payout terms RealShot provides before you can accept paid bookings. You may not collect payment from a client directly.

14Enforcement

If you break the sections on ownership, personal use, deleting files, confidentiality or staying on RealShot, your access will be permanently removed and RealShot will pursue legal action against you. RealShot may seek damages, an injunction and, where the law allows, its attorneys' fees and costs.

You agree that a breach of those sections would cause harm that money alone cannot fix, so RealShot may seek a court order to stop it without posting a bond, in addition to any other remedy.

You will defend, indemnify and hold harmless StudyMyVisuals LLC from any claim, loss or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your work, your conduct at a shoot, or your breach of this Agreement.

15Term and termination

Either you or RealShot may end this Agreement at any time. Bookings you have already accepted must still be completed or cancelled under these rules. The sections on ownership, personal use, deleting files, confidentiality, enforcement and disputes continue after the Agreement ends.

16Disputes

The informal resolution, arbitration, class action waiver and governing law sections of the Terms of Service apply to this Agreement, except that either party may go to court for an injunction under Enforcement.
