Universal terms across every tier

Applies to all three licenses above

Worldwide rights, perpetual, royalty-free, non-exclusive

All tiers grant the same baseline: use anywhere on Earth, no expiry, no per-project royalties, no per-impression fees. Sacraw retains ownership of the Footage and may license the same clip to others.

Delivery and file format

All tiers receive the same digital file at purchase — Apple ProRes master, full resolution, no watermark, no compression. Delivery via secure download link, valid for 14 days.

Refunds

Digital sales are final once the download link is generated. Tier upgrades within 14 days of original purchase are credited at the price-difference rate.

Audit and enforcement

Sacraw reserves the right to request reasonable evidence of license-tier compliance if there is credible indication of breach. License violations may be subject to invoice for the price difference, cease-and-desist, and civil action under applicable copyright law.

Indemnification

Sacraw represents that it owns or has cleared all rights necessary to grant the license. Licensee indemnifies Sacraw against claims arising from Licensee's use of the Footage outside the granted scope, including any misrepresentation of license tier at purchase.

Model and property releases

Sacraw does not provide model releases, property releases, or trademark clearances for any Footage. Licensee is solely responsible for obtaining any third-party rights required for their specific use case (e.g., people identifiable in a clip used in an ad).

No editorial-to-commercial conversion

Footage marked "Editorial Use Only" cannot be re-licensed under any of the three commercial tiers, regardless of price paid. Editorial scope is preserved.

Volume discount

Existing volume pricing applies per tier:

• 3+ clips of the same tier in one order: 15% discount automatically applied
• 10+ clips of the same tier in one order: 30% discount (code COLLECTION30)
• Discounts apply at the tier level, not across tiers — a buyer purchasing 2 Commercial + 2 Broadcast does not hit the 3-clip threshold for either tier.

Editorial-only clips

For clips tagged "Editorial Use Only"

Some clips in the Sacraw library are marked "Editorial Use Only" — typically clips featuring newsworthy subjects, identifiable people without model releases, or recognizable property/locations without releases. These clips do not ship under the three commercial tiers above. Instead they're licensed for editorial use under different terms:

Permitted editorial use

• News reporting and current-events coverage
• Documentary filmmaking
• Academic and educational publishing
• Editorial articles, books, and journals where the footage illustrates a newsworthy subject or matter of public interest
• Non-commercial blog and podcast content covering newsworthy topics

Prohibited under editorial license

• No advertising of any kind, paid or organic, commercial or sponsored
• No promotional content for a product, service, brand, or company
• No corporate or marketing use, even if framed editorially
• No tier upgrade — editorial scope is preserved; an Editorial clip cannot be converted to Commercial or Broadcast at any price

If you need similar footage for commercial use, browse the commercially-cleared catalog at /collections/all-footage — those clips are available under all three commercial tiers.

FAQs & edge cases

Common situations, plain answers

My YouTube channel is 95K subs. Which tier?

Social tier — at purchase time. If you cross 100K later, your existing usage is grandfathered; new uploads using the Footage past 100K need a Commercial upgrade.

I'm a freelance editor working for an agency. Who buys the license?

The agency (or its end-client brand) buys the Commercial license. You as contractor use the Footage in their project under that license — no separate license needed for you.

My documentary got picked up for streaming. What now?

If a Commercial-licensed doc gets picked up for streaming distribution, upgrade to Broadcast for the price difference before release. We don't backlist licenses — upgrades are forward-looking.

My ad campaign expanded beyond $50K.

Upgrade to Broadcast before exceeding the cap. The cap is per individual campaign, so multiple separate sub-$50K campaigns can each run under Commercial.

I bought Social and my use was actually commercial.

Self-upgrade by paying the difference (admin fee waived on first-time honest disclosure). If discovered without disclosure, you owe the price difference plus reasonable legal cost.

Can two people share one Social license?

No. Social is per-natural-person. Commercial is per-entity (so multiple employees of one company are covered). Broadcast is per-entity with one-time entity transfer permitted.

Can I use the Footage in AI training data?

No — that's prohibited under all three tiers. Sacraw Footage is not licensed for use in AI / machine-learning training datasets, regardless of tier.

Can I resell the file?

No — that's prohibited under all three tiers. You cannot redistribute the Footage as a standalone file or sell it as part of a stock-footage product.
