Editing & Alterations
Basic cropping is allowed. Heavy alterations (AI replacements, compositing, changing time-of-day/sky beyond purchased add-ons, misrepresenting the property) are not permitted without written approval.
Portfolio Use
Stanforth Creative may use delivered work for portfolio, website, social media, and advertising unless Client submits a written opt-out request prior to delivery.
6) Third-Party Platforms, MLS & Publishing
- Client is responsible for compliance with MLS rules and third-party platform terms.

9) Single-Property Listing Pages & White-Label Delivery
Listing pages may be delivered as hosted pages, embedded modules, or white-labeled pages under Client branding. White-label delivery means the listing can be presented as if managed directly by Client rather than a third party.
