Terms & Conditions

This document details the current terms and conditions for Aneta Jeremiasova Portraits/Black Rose Boudoir. 

Thank you for booking a portrait photography session with Aneta Jeremiasova Portraits (“me/I/my/photographer”). Please read these Terms and Conditions carefully, as they apply to your (“you/client”) booking (“Photography Services/photo shoot session/sitting”).

I am happy to answer any questions or concerns you may have in relation to these T&Cs at any time. However, continuing with your booking means you are agreeing with these terms. 

I reserve the right to change these Terms & Conditions at any time, and I will give reasonable notice to you if this happens.

1. GENERAL

These Terms and Conditions constitute an agreement between the parties and supersede all previous agreements between the parties relating to its subject matter. No variation or agreed termination of these terms and conditions (or of any document referred to in it) shall be effective unless it is in writing. If any provision of this agreement (or part of any provision) is found by any court or other authority of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, the other provisions shall remain in force. A person who is not a party to this agreement shall not have any rights under or in connection with it.

This agreement and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with it or its subject matter shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the Netherlands.

1. ACCEPTANCE

Your booking and/or payment of your session fee signifies acceptance of these terms and conditions as a legally binding contract, unless otherwise objected to explicitly and in writing, prior to accepting my service. No variation of this contract shall be recognised unless explicitly agreed to in writing.

Any booking or payment made to me (including the session fee) indicates that you have read, understood and agreed to all the terms and conditions as set out in this document, in its entirety. If this contract has to be enforced, you agree to mediation instead of court proceedings. 

1. COPYRIGHT & OWNERSHIP

The copyright and all other rights in the Photos shall be retained by Aneta Jeremiasova Portraits. The Photographer asserts the right to be credited as the author of the Photos. Any unauthorized reproduction or modification of any images will constitute a breach of copyright. This includes making copies or ‘screen shots’ of images shared by the photographer online.

Sometimes the photographer may share previews or “sneak peeks” of your images, or give you access to an online gallery of images. These images must not be copied, screen shot, downloaded, edited or altered in any way.

If you wish to share photographs to your own network (i.e. Facebook, blog or any other online channels) you agree to do so only once you have purchased and paid for them.

Clients are not permitted to take their own photographs (“selfies”) at any portrait photography session. Clients are not permitted to take photographs of the studio. 

1. RESERVATIONS

Your portrait session experience is reserved only once paid for. Session fees are retainers and are non-refundable and contribute towards the photographer’s time planning your shoot with you and creating and sending out your Prep information.

1. RESCHEDULING & REFUNDS/CANCELLATIONS

Sometimes it is necessary for the photographer or client to reschedule, for example due to injury or serious illness. If there are unavoidable circumstances that affect your ability to take part in our photo shoot session, then I am happy for us to reschedule once, within a three-month period. Please let me know as soon as possible that you can no longer make the session, and at least 72 hours in advance.

Please note that any new date will be subject to the Photographer’s availability. I shall use reasonable endeavors to arrange an alternative date for your photo shoot session.

Please note that in the lead-up to Christmas and other special occasions, rescheduling may not be possible until the following year.

In the event that we cannot agree to another date, or if you are unable to attend your re-booked session, then your session fee will be lost.

Your session fee is non-refundable should you decide to cancel your portrait shoot.

Please note that all Gift Vouchers and Gift Certificates are non-refundable.

1. HEALTH

If you are taken ill by an infectious disease, you must let me know and rearrange your session until you are fully recovered and no longer contagious. This is to protect the health of all my clients and my team of makeup artists. If a client attends a session while unwell and unintentionally passes on an illness to the photographer, resulting in loss of income due to missed work, the client may be held responsible for covering the documented financial losses incurred. This provision emphasizes our commitment to maintaining a healthy working environment for all parties involved.

Please inform me on booking if you or anyone attending your photography session suffers from any health conditions including allergies, photosensitive epilepsy, medical issues, physical difficulties and disabilities etc.

1. PRICES & PAYMENTS

The price for your photo shoot session will be as agreed at the time of booking. Booking your session by paying your session fee guarantees that you receive my current portrait rates. Sessions rescheduled by the client are subject to the prices current at the time of rescheduling. Prices on the website or on marketing materials may be out of date, and I reserve the right to adjust prices at any time without prior notice. All prices are in euros.

All photoshoot sessions must be taken within 3 months of the session fee payment being made. Any exceptions to this need to be agreed in writing, and the current prices and booking conditions will apply.

The session doesn't include the provision of actual photographs but rather covers the photographer's time, consultation, preparation, complimentary makeup, and wardrobe cleaning.. Clients pay a fee for the photographer's services, time, and expertise, and then separately purchase the actual photographs. This approach allows clients to have a customized and professional photography experience without committing to specific products until after the session. It also gives them the flexibility to choose the images they want to purchase based on the quality of the photographer's work.

The balance for actual photography products is to be paid in full immediately at the ordering session after the photoshoot, albums or other products are ordered on your behalf. Payment can be made by Bank Transfer, Card Payment via PayPal, or via cash/debit/credit card in person.

In the event of an unpaid balance after the specified payment period, Photographer reserves the right to engage a debt collection lawyer or debt collection company. Prior to such action, the Photographer will make reasonable efforts to communicate and send reminders regarding the outstanding balance. Any costs associated with debt collection, including legal fees and collection agency fees, will be the responsibility of the client. This provision is implemented to protect the financial integrity of Aneta Jeremiasova Portraits. We encourage open communication to resolve any payment issues promptly.

1. FLEXIBLE PAYMENT PLAN OPTION

8.1. Overview: Photographer offers a flexible payment plan option for clients, allowing them to pay for their portrait packages over 3, 6, or 9 months.

8.2. Eligibility: The payment plan is available for portrait packages with a total cost exceeding €2000. Clients can inquire about their eligibility during the booking process and/or ordering process. 

8.3. Payment Schedule: Clients can choose a payment plan duration of 3, 6, or 9 months. Monthly installments will be  deducted from the client's chosen payment method. The first payment is due on the date of booking, and subsequent payments are scheduled on the same date each following month.

8.5. Product Delivery: Clients will receive the ordered products, including prints and digital files, only when the outstanding balance is paid in full. Due to the custom nature of the products, partial payment does not entitle clients to partial order delivery.

By choosing the payment plan option, clients acknowledge and agree to these terms and conditions. The Photographer reserves the right to modify these terms with notice. 

1. MY OBLIGATIONS

I will use reasonable endeavors to supply the Photography Services described on my website and marketing materials in a professional manner. 

1.  YOUR OBLIGATIONS

You agree to assist and cooperate with me in all matters relating to the Photography Services and to supply me with all information reasonably requested in order for me to carry out the Photography Services. You agree to do everything you can and that I request. Although I will do everything I can to make the experience engaging and enjoyable, you understand that I am not responsible for any photoshoot participants who refuse to cooperate, and that this may impact on the number and quality of the images I am able to capture.

It’s not always possible to remove snot, sleep crusts, food crumbs or dribble and is rarely possible to fix creases and hair in Photoshop. In addition, it always looks better to fix these things beforehand, so please make sure everything is how you want it to look in the final images before we take any pictures.

You agree to take responsibility for your own safety throughout your portrait session, recognising that there are additional hazards to watch out for in a professional photography studio, including, but not limited to, lights and light stands, background sheets and background stands, electrical equipment, trip hazards, fall hazards etc. If your child(ren) is posed in, on or near a prop or another member of your family, you agree to remain nearby, vigilant and responsible for their safety at all times.

You agree not to take pictures on your own camera or phone during the portrait session or reveal, nor to take screenshots from your online gallery.

11. SESSION TIMES & DURATION

Please make every effort to arrive on time for your session and please let me know as soon as possible if you anticipate arriving late. If you are less than fifteen minutes late, your session length may be reduced accordingly. If you are more than fifteen minutes late, your session may be canceled, with no refund or re-shoot provided.

If a session duration is not specified as part of your package, I will end the session at my discretion when I determine that adequate images in terms of quality and quantity have been captured. 

12. CREATIVE LICENSE

You grant the photographer full creative license to shoot, help selecting images, edit images and deliver them in the style and method chosen by the photographer and reflective of the style and quality advertised by the photographer.

14. SHORTLISTING & EDITING

Your photographer will carry out any shortlisting and editing necessary to prepare the portraits for your viewing and selection. 

15. ORDER SALES & FULFILLMENT

Please make your decisions on which images you’d like to keep and in which formats at the reveal and ordering session, as indicated by your photographer. Reorganizing the reveal and ordering session after this time will incur a small fee of €100. 

Due to the nature of custom photography, all orders are final and cannot be canceled, altered or refunded. Please note that any special offers and discounts only apply to your initial viewing and ordering session. 

Delivery times for prints, digital files, albums or other products may vary and will be advised at the time of ordering, but is usually within eight weeks (longer period during peak seasons (summer weddings, Christmas). 

Digital files provided with your purchased portrait are in JPEG format. The files are delivered in high resolution, matching the size of the purchased product, excluding framing or passepartouts. While I strive to deliver high-quality and visually stunning results, the final digital image size may vary based on creative considerations during the photoshoot and/or post-processing.

The digital files will be sent to you via WeTransfer service to the email address provided during the order process. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure the correct and secure receipt of the digital files.

To facilitate the resolution of unpaid balances, the Photographer may share your relevant details with a legal company representing the photographer. This may include, but is not limited to, your name, contact information, and details related to the outstanding balance. Such disclosure is conducted in strict accordance with data protection laws and regulations. I prioritize the privacy and security of your information and will only share what is necessary for the lawful pursuit of unpaid balances. If you have concerns or wish to discuss your payment situation, please contact us directly to explore mutually agreeable solutions.

18. LIABILITY

In the unlikely event of technical problems, camera/photographic failure, loss of image(s) before delivery to the client is made, injury or sickness beyond my control, my liability shall be limited to a full refund of all monies paid.
