I need a quickie intellectual property agreement that I can fill out for a project for my animal rescue organization. We can’t afford an attorney so I was hoping to get one free from the internet. The one at RocketLawyer looks perfect but they insist on collecting my credit card info before they’ll give me even one free contract. If someone here happens to already have an account with them and can send me the contract, that would be awesome.

Okay, how about other ideas about how I can get a quickie IP license agreement?

The closest thing Nolopress has to what I need is an IP agreement for an invention. I need one for a couple of videos that someone is making for us. Will it work if I replace the word “invention” with “videos”?

So the “Getting Permission” product doesn’t work for you? The description says,

"Learn how to secure the use of copyrighted images, text, music, and more with the clear, up-to-date instructions found in Getting Permission. This all-in-one book tackles the permissions process head on and covers topics including:

```
the public domain
copyright research
fair use

```

Includes all the legal forms you need!"

Oh, I found a good one here: [http://artlawjournal.com/download-artists-licensing-agreement-free/](http://artlawjournal.com/download-artists-licensing-agreement-free/)

It works better because it’s set up for contract photographer work, which is close to what we’re doing. Just making a few tweaks.

The OP is better suited to our IMHO forum rather than General Questions. Moved.
