F1 Class Photos & Images for Marketing

CLASS PHOTOS & IMAGES FOR MARKETING

We want to share in the excitement of your completion of Sarga Table I training! Class photos are a great way to immediately show people what Sarga Bodywork is about and to pique interest and start discussions but should not be used for permanent marketing purposes. We encourage graduates to take their own professional photos/videos after class or use Sarga Bodywork stock photos/videos (available with annual membership) to be used for permanent marketing purposes.
We would like to note the distinction between class photos used for social media posts and photos/videos used for permanent marketing purposes. Please refer to your media release waivers and the definitions below regarding class photos and videos.

IN-CLASS PHOTOS & VIDEOS (THAT YOU OR OTHER STUDENTS CAPTURE WITH CAMERAS OR SMARTPHONES
1. Must be used for personal/educational purposes only.
2. However, if you would like to post an in-class photo of yourself and/or a Sarga Bodywork instructor on social media, please make sure that it does not include other students. Not everyone in class releases full permission to use their image(s), and we need to respect their privacy. If you would like to post an in-class photo of yourself and/or a Sarga Bodywork instructor, please crop out any other students who may appear in the photo, including any recipients lying on the massage table(s).
3. Please refrain from posting in-class videos on social media platforms. In-class videos should be used for personal/educational purposes only.

CLASS PHOTOS ON THE FACEBOOK GRADUATE PAGE (TAKEN BY INSTRUCTORS)
After each Sarga Bodywork course an album of photos from class will be posted on the Sarga Bodywork Graduates FaceBook Page by admin. These photos have been approved by our admin team and may be shared/re-posted on your social media platforms.

PHOTOS/VIDEOS USED FOR PERMANENT MARKETING IMAGERY
Original photos and videos produced by you, outside of a Sarga Bodywork course are yours to publish and use as you wish. It is your exclusive legal right to reproduce, publish, sell, or distribute these photos and videos as you choose. Note that copyright on your original images/videos is automatic and there is no further action required to gain copyright protection, although you may wish to use the universally recognized © symbol as a way to remind your audience of these inherent rights and to discourage others from using, distributing, re-posting, or preparing derivative images based on your work.

VIDEOS
Videos are a great way to showcase Sarga Bodywork. To protect the Sarga Bodywork brand and copyrighted methodology, we ask that you do not post footage of a stroke from start to finish. Close-ups and segmented videography are ok. It is a concern that others do not try to learn our proprietary protocols or attempt these techniques without proper training and course completion. If you are showcasing a mixed modality massage style or incorporating your own techniques not taught in Sarga Bodywork courses, we ask that you refrain from using Sarga Bodywork logos (available via membership), and instead use your own business logo, so the work you are performing represents you and your own unique style. However, if you are showcasing Sarga Bodywork methodology that you learned in a Sarga Bodywork course, feel free to use the Sarga Bodywork logo (available via membership) within your video.

RE-POSTING SOCIAL MEDIA PHOTOS AND/OR VIDEOS
Images are extremely easy to copy, re-post, and re-publish on the internet and we have an inherent interest to not let that happen without consent. We each work hard to create our photographs, investing time and money into our projects. But with a few simple clicks or the help of apps, people can take images and do almost whatever they want with them without many technical restrictions. We would like to protect both our images and yours, as much as we can, and so we ask that you respect the copyrighted images and videos published by our Sarga community. When re-posting other's original/copyrighted images, please follow the following criteria:

1. Ask for permission to re-post original image(s). Again, permission is not required for posting stock photography (via membership) and/or the admin-posted class photos on the FaceBook Graduate Page.
2. After gaining permission to re-post an original image, use an app such as Regramer or Repost, and/or give credit to the owner; content should not be altered in any way and should be posted from a tasteful account.
3. Remember that every business and individual may refuse re-posts, especially if it will be re-posted by a brand, individual and/or business that represents conflicting interests or will use your image to generate revenue.
