This ensures that both parties are aware of local regulations and confirms who will bear the responsibility and cost of acquiring such permits.

03
How does a service agreement protect against copyright claims?
A service agreement protects against copyright claims by stipulating who owns the rights to the footage, the extent of usage rights, and permissions required from third parties. This legal clarity prevents unauthorized use and ensures compliance with copyright laws, safeguarding intellectual property.
