Motion Picture Agreement. (cont'd)
807.02
Who may sign the Agreement. (cont'd)

the Agreement through a legal representative empowered to bind the business entity, as for example, the officer of a corporation, an attorney-in-fact for the depositor, or another agent of a depositor satisfactory to the Library of Congress. In certain cases, the Standard Modification must be completed; see NOTE in section 807.01 above. Also, in certain cases, a bond signed by the attorney-in-fact for the depositor, which subjects such attorney-in-fact to certain liability under the Agreement, is required in addition to the Agreement.

807.03
Return of deposit copy under the Agreement. The Copyright Office will return the motion picture to the depositor under the Agreement if it receives a specific written request for return of that particular motion picture. In general, the following conditions apply for the return of motion pictures:
1)
If a motion picture is to be returned by a private carrier designated by the depositor, shipment instructions must be included with the request for return. The instructions must name the carrier to be contacted, give an account number (if available), indicate that the motion picture is to be returned at the depositor's expense, include a declara­tion of value, and state the amount of insurance required.
2)
If the depositor so requests, the motion pic­ture will be shipped collect by means of a private carrier chosen by the Library of Congress, with insurance coverage at the depositor's expense, to the amount of the declared value; if no value has been de­clared, the amount of this insurance will be based on the estimated replacement cost for a copy of identical physical characteristics produced by a commercial laboratory.
