1. GENERAL TERMS

These general terms and conditions apply to all legal relationships between the photographer and the client, as well as to all quotations, offers and agreements. The photographer may amend these terms and conditions at any time and without prior notice. It is the responsibility of the counterparty to review the terms that are in effect at the time of placing an order, additional order, or modification of an existing order. Provisions or conditions set by the client that deviate from, or do not appear in, these general terms and conditions are only binding for the photographer if and insofar as they have been expressly accepted in writing by the photographer. These terms and conditions are governed by Belgian law.

2. PRICES

Prices may be adjusted at any time. The revised prices apply to all orders and additional orders placed after the modification has taken effect. If the cost of materials for a product or sub-product has increased by more than 25% since the booking, the price increase will be communicated to the client, who may then decide whether to accept the product or sub-product under the new terms or to cancel the order. If the photographer has incurred additional costs and/or has carried out additional work that was reasonably necessary, the photographer will charge this to the client.

3. GIFT VOUCHERS

Gift vouchers are valid for one year from the date of issue. After this date, the voucher may only be used with the explicit approval of the photographer, and any updated prices will apply. If the voucher does not mention an amount but describes a service instead, the user must pay any price difference if the same service is more expensive at the time of redemption. Any remaining balance on the voucher (for example, if the voucher is redeemed for a cheaper type of photoshoot than stated) will not be refunded.

4. PAYMENT PERIOD

Invoices issued by the photographer are payable within fourteen days from the invoice date. Any invoice not paid by the due date will incur late payment interest of 10% per month, automatically and without formal notice. In the event of non-payment, reminder fees, formal demand costs and collection costs will be charged. All courts in our judicial district have jurisdiction.

5. RIGHT OF REFUSAL

The photographer reserves the right to refuse an assignment if new information becomes available after acceptance that makes execution unacceptable for the photographer.

6. POSTPONEMENT

The client may postpone their booking once, without additional cost, for a maximum of 30 days while retaining the original prices and terms that were valid at the time of the booking (subject to the availability of the photographer on the new date). If the booking is postponed for more than 30 days, the client can no longer rely on the original prices and terms. The most recent prices and terms will then apply. In case of illness, accident or force majeure, the photographer has the right to reschedule or cancel the assignment.

7. COLLECTION

Products/photos can be collected free of charge at the business location of the photographer. Delivery at the client’s address or shipment by mail or courier will be charged to the client. The photographer is not responsible for damage caused during shipment.

8. COMPLAINTS

All formal complaints regarding the delivery and/or performance of services must be submitted by registered mail within eight days of completion or invoice date.

9. LIABILITY

The photographer is not liable for any damage to the client unless caused by intent or gross negligence by the photographer or their representatives. Under no circumstances can the photographer be held liable for indirect damages resulting from use or performance of the services, such as loss of profits or loss of data. In the event of direct damage, the liability of the photographer is limited to the amount paid by the client for the service that caused the damage. The photographer cannot be held liable for physical or material damage caused by falling, slipping, etc. during the photoshoot. The photographer cannot be held liable for the loss and/or damage of the client’s personal belongings before, during or after the photoshoot.

The photographer is not responsible for colour deviations on non-calibrated screens or for prints not produced by the photographer.
