General Terms and Conditions

§ 2 Applicability of the General Terms and Conditions

The client agrees to these General Terms and Conditions when placing the order. These General Terms and Conditions take precedence over any terms and conditions of the customer.

§ 3 Contract components and changes to the contract

3.1.
The conclusion of the contract (also referred to as placing an order) in accordance with these General Terms and Conditions takes place with confirmation of the appointment reservation, which forms part of the contract. This can be confirmed by the client in writing (e.g. via email or other text message) or verbally to the order.

With full payment of the agreed fee, the client acquires the rights of use to all work produced by the contractor within the scope of this order for the contractually agreed period and to the contractually agreed extent. This transfer of rights of use applies worldwide, insofar as a transfer is possible under Austrian law.
4.2.
The client acknowledges that the image material supplied by the contractor is copyrighted photographic works within the meaning of the Copyright Act. The image material provided remains the property of the contractor. Unless the contractual partner makes written arrangements, the client is free with regard to the manner in which the order is carried out. The selection of the photos and the manner of processing is the sole responsibility of the contractor. Duplication and transfer to third parties is only permitted for private use. Commercial use is not permitted to the client. Irrespective of the scope of the rights of use granted in individual cases, the contractor is entitled to use recordings commercially as part of its presentation on the website or social media page or for wedding fairs. The client is aware that a corresponding publicly accessible portfolio has an advertising value for the contractor. Clients who reject the use of the image material by the contractor agree to an increase in the order price of 15%.
4.3.
The client is obliged to clearly and legibly (visibly), in particular not upside down and in normal letters, directly on the photograph and clearly assignable to it, whenever it is used (reproduction, distribution, broadcast, etc.) to include the manufacturer’s designation (name) or the copyright notice within the meaning of the WURA (World Copyright Agreement) as follows:

Marking of the social media channels of the contractor
facebook: @shotsoflove.at
instragram: @iamshotsoflove
TicToc: @shotsoflove.at
website: www.shots-of-love.at

This also applies if the photograph is not marked with a manufacturer’s designation. In any case, this provision applies as the attachment of the manufacturer’s designation within the meaning of § 74 para. 3 UrhG. If the photograph is signed on the front (in the picture), the publication of this signature does not replace the manufacturer’s notice described above.

4.4.
The work of the contractor may not be changed by the client or third parties commissioned by the client, either in the original or in the reproduction. Any imitation, including that of parts of the work, is not permitted. In the event of infringement, the contractor shall be entitled to an additional fee from the client of at least 2.5 times the amount of the originally agreed fee.
4.5.
The transfer of granted rights of use to third parties and/or multiple uses are subject to a fee, unless regulated in the initial order, and require the consent of the contractor.

§ 5 Payment of the fee
5.1.
The remuneration agreed upon in the contract applies. Upon confirmation of the appointment reservation, a down payment of 30% of the agreed remuneration is immediately due. Unless otherwise contractually agreed, payments are due within 7 days of invoicing without any deductions. If payment deadlines are exceeded, the contractor is entitled to default interest at the statutory rate without further reminder. The right to claim further damages remains unaffected by this provision.
5.2.
If the client cancels the order in accordance with the appointment reservation confirmation, a cancellation fee of 30% of the agreed remuneration will be charged. If the cancellation of the order takes place one month before the agreed project date, the cancellation fee increases by a further 30% to a total of 60%. The possibility of offsetting the cancellation fee with the deposit is hereby agreed. In addition, in the event of changes or cancellation of the order in accordance with the appointment reservation confirmation by the client and/or if the conditions for the provision of services change, the client shall reimburse the contractor for all costs incurred as a result and the contractor shall be released from any liabilities towards third parties and held harmless.

§ 6 Additional services

Unforeseeable additional expenses require mutual agreement and, if necessary, subsequent remuneration.

§ 7 Liability
7.1.
The contractor is liable for damages that he himself causes intentionally or through gross negligence. No liability is assumed for slight negligence. This also applies to damages resulting from a positive breach of contract or tort.
7.2.
The replacement of any indirect damage by the contractor is excluded. No liability is assumed for defects, damages or only partially executed work that can be attributed to instructions from the client.
7.3.
The contractor assumes no liability for the violation of rights of depicted persons. The client must inform the contractor if individual persons do not agree to the publication of recordings.

§ 8 Data protection
The client agrees that his personal data required for business transactions will be stored. The contractor undertakes to treat all information that becomes known to him within the scope of the order as confidential. Data will not be passed on to third parties, unless this is necessary for the execution of the order and with the consent of the client.
