LICENSES GRANTED
As a client, you would be granted a license to reproduce and/or distribute the photographs. All licenses have geographical, time, media and usage restrictions. Our policy is to negotiate a license that meets your needs and represents the best value for money for you and/or your client. Use of the photographs outside the terms of the license granted would be a breach of copyright.
LICENSE EXTENSION OPTIONS
If, having agreed a set of license conditions you subsequently realise that you need wider use of the photographs we are always happy to negotiate a license extension.
COPYRIGHT
Unless agreed in advance and in writing NI Photography does not assign copyright to any clients or third parties. Please be aware that buying the copyright is far more expensive than buying an extensive and wide-ranging license.
DELIVERY METHOD AND DEADLINES
As part of the commission, we will agree how, when and where the photographs will be delivered. Options include web galleries, email and USB flash drives. Photographs will be supplied in the agreed format within the agreed deadline. Copies of all files will be retained in line with industry best practice and any subsequent re-issue of any or all of the image files will be subject to a charge equal to the actual cost of producing and delivering them plus a 20% service charge.
INVOICING AND PAYMENT
Fees and costs will be negotiated and agreed before the commission takes place. Should the details of the commission change then alterations to the costs will be agreed as soon as possible. A 50% non-refundable prepayment is required prior to the first photo shoot, remaining balance is due prior to the delivery of the final images. The grant of license will only come into force once payment has been made in full. If the client postpones or cancels the commission between 72 and 24 hours before the start time we reserve the right to charge 50% of the agreed fees. Cancellations or postponements within 24 hours of the start time may be charged at 100% of the agreed fees.
THE LIMIT OF OUR LIABILITY
Unfortunately NI Photography cannot accept liability for unexpected events including: poor weather, industrial disputes, sickness or injury, equipment malfunction, model release disputes, property release disputes and other actions or accidents that are outside our control and that cannot be reasonably predicted. Back-up copies of your images will be stored for a minimum of 5 years after the photo shoot using reliable methods but we cannot accept liability for systems failures.
