Luxvt: They are taking all of my work/repackaging it under their own brand14927

Has anyone heard of Luxvt services? I'm wondering about copyright issues. They are taking all of my work and repackaging it under their own brand. The website they created features all of my images, my Matterport tour, and floorplans. The links below are for their youtube and one-page website. I have never done such a high-end house but something doesn't feel right about a company charging a real estate broker that basically features all of my work. Maybe this is common for this level of sale and I should be happy I'm getting exposure. What do you all think?

Is this something the Listing agent or Brokerage signed up for? Essentially, this is looking like a Fancy TourFactory type virtual tour platform where the agent or brokerage provides images and resources then they package them into a tour

The realtor signs up for the service. They promise exposure in high-end newspapers, magazines, etc. Basically reaching the crowd that can afford a property such as this and I believe that is really what their main selling point is for the realtor. I gave him a one page website as well but this company can reach a specialized audience.

These larger virtual tour companies buy syndication typically "Listhub" or similar which give them a bit of reach

TourFactory is pretty popular in my area but, they also offer photo and tour services

This is an example of a TourFactory tour

I also include WP3D single property websites for my agents I am about 60/40 on agents using the tours. Some agents are still using TourFactory here as it's what they know

It does appear my watermark on the images are gone. My main question is does this violate the copyright protection of photos and tour?

The agent or brokerage would have agreed to a General TOS saying they had permission to use the photos
