Terms and Conditions

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. Deviations from these terms and conditions are only binding if explicitly accepted in writing by the photographer.

The photographer makes an offer in the form of a digital quotation or price list. Unless otherwise agreed, the offer expires 30 days after the date of dispatch. Price indications in offers and quotations are subject to change due to (unforeseen) alterations in work or cost increases.

The client must explicitly accept the offer in writing or digitally. If the client fails to do so but the photographer proceeds with the work, the offer shall be deemed accepted. The photographer reserves the right to refuse assignments under unacceptable circumstances.

The photographer shall carry out the assignment to the best of their knowledge and ability, in accordance with the standards of good craftsmanship. The client must ensure the most favorable conditions for the photographer and take necessary measures where required. Post-processing of images is limited to basic optimization, such as cleaning up and removing unwanted objects at the photographer’s discretion. Extensive editing, such as altering or adding elements to the photo, is not included in the photographer’s offer.

The estimated delivery time for photoshoots is 14 days, starting the day after the shoot has taken place, unless otherwise agreed. Digital files will be encrypted with a password and delivered via SwissTransfer or a similar service. Photo books will only be printed after written approval from the client. Once approved and received, any reprints of a new design at the client's request will be charged separately. This does not apply to reprints due to errors made by the printing company.

If no fee has been agreed upon, the photographer's customary rate, which will be discussed in advance, shall apply. Payment must be made within 14 days from the invoice date, unless otherwise agreed. In case of late payment, the photographer reserves the right to suspend further work.

Article 8. Cancellation and Suspension

If the client cancels the assignment, the photographer will charge 35% of the total price unless another arrangement is agreed upon. In the event of force majeure or illness of the photographer, a replacement will be arranged or an alternative date will be agreed upon.

Complaints regarding the execution of the agreement must be submitted in writing within 7 days after receipt of the photo files.

The copyright of the created images remains with the photographer. The client receives a non-exclusive license to use the images for private purposes. Business or commercial use without written permission is not allowed. Proper attribution of the photographer’s name is required when publishing the images.

The photographer reserves the right to use the images for their own promotional purposes and publications, including but not limited to their website, blog, portfolio, advertisements, social media, magazine articles, printed materials, and trade show materials, unless otherwise agreed. The photographer also reserves the right to license the images to third parties for promotional purposes. Objections to the publication of portraits must be communicated to the photographer in writing before entering into the agreement. Any deviations from these terms shall be recorded in writing.

The photographer is not liable for any damages incurred by the client, unless caused by intent or gross negligence on the part of the photographer or their representatives. The photographer is not responsible for color deviations on non-calibrated screens or prints that were not supplied by the photographer. Liability is limited to the invoice amount.

The photographer processes personal data in accordance with the AVG (GDPR) and does not share this information with third parties without consent, unless legally required. Personal data is used exclusively for communication and business operations and will not be shared with third parties without the explicit consent of the user.

The photographer reserves the right to modify or supplement these general terms and conditions. Any changes will be communicated to the client in a timely manner and in writing. If the client does not accept a proposed change, they may terminate the agreement up to the date on which the new general terms and conditions take effect.

The copyright for the images created remains with the photographer. The school is granted a non-exclusive license to use the images for both private and business purposes. For commercial or public use, the responsibility for complying with the AVG (GDPR) lies with the school. The photographer cannot be held liable for any AVG (GDPR) violations by the school. According to the AVG (GDPR), parents/guardians must respect the privacy of other students. The distribution, in any form, of group photos in which other students are visible is only allowed with the written consent of the involved parties and the school.
