Copyright.
The copyright for all images remains with the photographer. This remains the case for all images captured by me, including where I have been commissioned by you, you have bought the right (licence) to print your own photographs and where the photographs were taken on your private land. You will be asked to sign a model release form to this effect prior to any pictures being taken. The licence to use an image does not come into effect until the entire bill has been paid in full. Use of and/or printing, publication, whether printed or electronic form is prohibited until the licence comes into effect. Legal action may be taken against anyone who uses my copyrighted images without the proper licence.
Deposit.
The deposit is due at the time of booking. This may, in certain circumstances , be delayed but in any case, the deposit must be paid before any shoot can take place. If someone else wishes to book the slot you want, but you have not paid the deposit, you will be given a short period of time to pay the deposit. If the deposit isn’t paid within this time, the slot will be deemed to have been released by you and I will let the other party book that slot. Once paid, your deposit will guarantee that slot which cannot then be booked by anyone else.
I operate a “best practice” policy. If you need to cancel, for any reason, half the
deposit paid (as long as expenses are covered) will be returned to you. I will then
endeavour to fill that particular day/time with another customer. If this happens,
I will refund the remainder of the deposit. If I can’t fill the slot, the rest of
the deposit is non refundable. Obviously, the earlier you let me know, the more chance
I have of re-
Post Shoot Orders.
As any image order, (print, photo gift, DVD etc) is only applicable to and specific to you, all orders are special orders. Once placed, special orders CANNOT be cancelled. Payment in full is required even if you change your mind and decide not to take the photos, products etc.
Payment.
Payment can be made via cash, credit or debit cards & cheques. Cheques will have to clear before I commit to the order. Please be aware that this method of payment will add around a week to the delivery time for this reason.. I regret that American Express (AMEX) cards and Paypal are not accepted as payment.
Nude Portraits.
I am happy to take nude photographs of anyone over the age of eighteen. Proof of age will be required. The ONLY proof of age ID permissible, is either a passport or driving licence that includes a photograph. You MUST provide BOTH parts of the driving licence. NO other form of ID is acceptable. There are no exceptions to this. If suitable proof of age ID isn’t available, no nude photography can take place. The client will be liable for all costs incurred in the event of cancellation of a studio etc due to appropriate ID not being available. This part of your deposit will be forfeited in this instance.
Log in.
Your log in is unique to your event. I will only give this log in to you. If there
is someone who you do not wish to order prints etc of your event, do not give them
the log in or password. It is up to you to ensure that they aren’t given the log
in and password for your event. The log in will become invalid after a time. If you
or anyone you know wishes to re-
Warranty.
All goods, key rings, prints, electrical goods etc will be checked prior to collection/delivery. Electrical goods have a 12 month guarantee. If a fault develops within this time, please contact me. Faults due to wear and tear, modification, accident, civil unrest, theft or improper use are not covered by any guarantee. Photographic prints are printed using dye sublimation inks which are resistant to fading under normal circumstances.
By placing an order, you have agreed to be bound by these terms and conditions. Your statutory rights are not affected.
