Video Rights

Rights Statement

When purchasing films at the College/Institution or K12/Public Library/Community Group price, Public Performance Rights (PPR) are included. The higher institutional prices correspond to the rights for public exhibition. These rights allow the purchasing entity to screen the film an unlimited number of times on their premises for non-paying audiences. Screenings where admission is charged are usually billed at a percentage of projected box office income.
 
We carry a selection of DVD titles that are available for personal use only. These DVDs may be used in the home or non-public place for personal viewing or viewing with family and friends. These films and videos may not be screened, loaned or broadcast for any group for either educational or commercial purposes.
 
Broadcast and cablecast licensing is available for some titles. Please call for more information.
 
All films and videos are protected by United States copyright law. Unless otherwise indicated, duplication, reproduction, alteration, subleasing, television and internet broadcast, or commercial use (i.e., charging admission) are strictly prohibited without prior written consent from Vision Maker Media.
 

Vision Maker customers will be asked to agree with this rights statement when purchasing all videos. Please review it; and if you have questions, email shopfilms@visionmakermedia.org.
