1. Definitions

For the time being, these Terms and Conditions shall mean:

Photographic work: photographic works as referred to in Article 10(1)(9) Aw, or other works within the meaning of the Aw, which can be aligned with such photographic works.

Image carrier: the carrier on which a Photographic work (recognisable or not) is recorded, such as a slide, negative, print, polaroid, CD-ROM, DVD or USB stick.

Photographer: the user in the sense of art. 6:231 BW.

Counterparty: the other party in the sense of Art. 6:231 BW.

Use: reproduction and/or disclosure within the meaning of Article 1 y. 12 and 13 Aw.

2. Application

These Terms and Conditions shall apply to all legal relations between a Photographer and a Counterparty, including tenders, contract confirmations and oral or written agreements, even after the termination of an agreement, unless the parties have deviated in writing and expressly from those terms.

3. Quote

Tenders are entirely non-binding, unless expressly stated otherwise. The Photographer has the right to withdraw this offer up to two working days after receiving acceptance of his offer. The tender does not require the delivery of part of the performance at a proportional price.

4. Fee

4.1 If no remuneration has been agreed by the parties, the remuneration used by the Photographer is applicable.

4.2 If, to the extent that a customary fee cannot be considered, the Photographer will, in fairness and fairness, determine the remuneration, whereby the Photographer will be able to,(i) address, inter arreduction of the fees in the market for comparable contracts, between comparable clients and comparable contractors, referring to fees such as those charged by the Photographer’s colleagues , (ii) which has been legally regarded as reasonable and equitable in previous cases, (iii) comparative fees as charged by photographers in surrounding countries and (iv) the extent and scope of the use of the work desired by the Other Party.

4.3 If it is plausible that the Photographer has incurred higher costs and/or carried out additional work, which were reasonably necessary, these costs and/or additional work will also be eligible for reimbursement by the Other Party.

5. Invoice and payment

5.1 The Other Party will check the Photographer’s invoice for inaccuracies. If the Other Party has not in writing rejected the invoice stating relevant reasons within 10 working days of the date of invoice, stating the relevant reasons and returned it to the Photographer, the invoice in question will be binding between the parties and any right of the Other Party to reclamation will be voided.

5.2 Payment must be made within 30 days of the date of invoice.

5.3 The Other Party shall make the payments payable to the Photographer without a discount or recourse to compensation, except for settlements with transferable deposits recognised between the parties, which he has provided to the Photographer.

5.4 If the Photographer has not received the amount due within the time limit referred to in 5.2, the Other Party shall be liable for default and therefore the statutory interest, plus 2%.

5.5 If the Other Party is in default or otherwise fails to fulfil one or more of its obligations, including a copyright infringement, all costs for obtaining payment shall be borne in and out of court.

5.6 No use of photographic work in any way is permitted, as long as the Other Party has not yet fulfilled any outstanding invoice from the Photographer or otherwise has not fully complied with any obligation arising from any agreement with the Photographer.

6. Control

6.1 If the remuneration is in any way dependent on facts or circumstances, which must be apparent from the administration of the Other Party, the photographer has the right to check the client’s records by appointing an RA/AA accountant to be signed by the photographer.

6.2 In the event that the outcome of the audit differs more than 2% from the other party’s declaration and settlement, the costs of the audit will be entirely borne by the Other Party. In addition, the Other Party will then pay the Photographer after billing on the basis of the actual data.

7. Proof copy

When disclosing a Photographic work, the Other Party must forward to the Photographer immediately and without costing a copy of the publication.

9. Complaints

Complaints concerning the work provided should be communicated in writing to the Photographer as soon as possible, but at least within 10 working days of delivery of the Photographic works. The Photographer has the right to do good work for rejected work within a reasonable period of time, unless this would lead to disproportionate harm to the Other Party.

10. Property/property Image carriers

10.1 If it has not been agreed that Image Bearers remain in the possession of the Other Party, it shall take care of the Photographer without delay after the agreed use for free return.

12.3 The Photographer has the right to carry out everything that is not expressly defined in a contract agreement in his own technical and creative understanding.

12.4 Amendments to the contract by the Other Party for whatever reason and pending the performance of the contract shall be borne by the Other Party and will only be carried out by the Photographer after separate tenders of additional costs signed by the Other Party for agreement and returned to the Photographer.
