Video Footage Licensing
The GRRRLTRAVELER LLC works tirelessly to create quality travel documentary videos for our audiences on YouTube and social media. So we appreciate your interest in it. These days social and online platforms and creators are serious about catching copyright infringement (often, we are even notified immediately for action). If the platform catches the offending account or we report it, it can result in copyright strikes or account suspension. We have both, free and paid usage rights available. See our terms and rates below.
You are inspired by our YouTube videos- awesome!
You are welcome to re-share our videos directly from our YouTube channel or Facebook page using the Share button or simply posting the video’s URL.
If you partnered with us on a video, you may also embed our YouTube videos on your website, by using the html or embed code, directly from YouTube.
Walk-thru instructions here.
For educators, we request you view our videos from the YouTube platform. Most folks want to download videos to skip the ads, but the ads are a small percentage of how we pay back our expenses for sharing our video and its information for free. By allowing the ads, you help support us as the creator.
This is the correct and legal way to honor a creator’s work.
This does not give you permission to :
- Download the video from our YouTube or social media and re-upload for private or commercial use.
- Copyright music and talent appearance usage of those who appear in our videos.
- Scrape our channel or website feed, with the intention to allow/make illegal downloads from your website.
- Repurpose or re-sell our video footage without our permission.
Copyright infringement detection and policing is strong on most platforms and with web hosting providers
- YouTube, Facebook and Instagram have strict copyright policies and software. Once uploaded, we are contacted immediately with a video match down to specific seconds which have been used. You receive a copyright infringement strike as we request a takedown of the content. A major copyright violation and the platform takes down your entire account.
- If copyright infringement is found on a website, web hosting providers will do a takedown of the violating website. In some cases, the holder of the account will incur serious penalties.
We possess all original copies and receipts for our media content as proof of creation.
Video Licensing – How it Works
All video footage created and owned by Christine Kaaloa / GRRRLTRAVELER is protected under U.S. copyright law. Licensing grants limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable permission to use specified footage only. No license is implied, granted, or assumed without a signed written agreement and receipt of full payment.
Licensing is charged per second of footage used, with a minimum usage rate applied to all requests regardless of clip length. The rate varies based on usage type, platform, distribution scope, and exclusivity.
Permitted use is limited to the purchasing client only. The license does not extend to parent companies, subsidiaries, affiliates, third-party partners, or any entity not named in the agreement. Sub-licensing, resale, or transfer of footage rights to any third party is strictly prohibited without separate written authorization and additional licensing fees.
Usage restrictions – Licensed footage may not be altered, re-edited, or combined with content that misrepresents the original context, intent, or creator’s identity. Use of footage in political advertising, AI training datasets, or any content that depicts illegal activity is prohibited under all license tiers.
Credit and attribution – Unless otherwise agreed in writing, all licensed footage must include visible on-screen credit to GRRRLTRAVELER and/or Christine Kaaloa in the final production.
License term and termination – All licenses are issued for a specified term. Use of footage beyond the agreed term constitutes copyright infringement. GRRRLTRAVELER reserves the right to terminate any license immediately if terms are violated, with no refund issued.
Ownership – Licensing does not transfer ownership or copyright. Christine Kaaloa retains full ownership of all footage at all times.
This statement does not constitute a legal contract. A formal licensing agreement will be issued upon request approval. For rates and availability, use the contact form.
