Thereafter, no proofs/preview images, whether digital or in print form will be produced without a new/separate purchase order if a PO is required by you/your office.

Unless specified by the photographer at the time of booking or when substituted there will be no adjustment in fees or expenses unless additional expense is incurred necessitating the requirement for the photographer to include additional fees and/or expense to the assignment booking to the Client.

Invoicing & Purchase Orders: It is the sole responsibility of the client to provide from the outset any Purchase Order if such is required for payment to be fulfilled.

Special Requests/Coverage:The client understands and accepts that the photographic coverage will be as the photographer’s professional expertise determines and that no photograph will be deemed more important than another.

Alterations to Assignment Date/Time:Any alteration or additions to the assignment date and/or time will induce a further payment as deemed necessary, fair and reasonable by Pro Vision Photography Ltd.

Photographs:All photograph sizes are nominal. The photographer will provide a pleasing colour balance but cannot guarantee exact colour matching owing to anomalous reflectance caused by a combination of certain dyes and materials, monitors and image end uses, especially man-made materials. It is sometimes impossible to record photographically the exact colour of materials as seen by the human eye; therefore all colour balances are purely perceptional. We may deem it necessary to use our expertise to edit down as necessary to the best photographs for the final image/images.

Electronic Storage: Except for the purpose of reproduction for licensed use, the photographs may not be stored in any form of electronic medium without the written permission of the photographer. Manipulation of the image or use of only a portion of the image may only take place with the permission of the photographer. The photographer stores images supplied, but due to the nature of electronic storage, future supply cannot be guaranteed. Unedited RAW files are kept by us for up to 2 weeks, often deleted, future supply cannot be guaranteed.

Copyright:The 1988 Copyright Design and Patents Act section 77 & 80 assigns the copyright of the photographs taken, to the photographer. It is contrary to the Act and an offence to copy or allow to be copied, the photographs covered by this contract by any means. The images/digital image files remain the property of the photographer. The photographer is employed by Pro Vision Photography Ltd, therefore unless agreed otherwise at the time of booking Pro Vision Photography Ltdretains copyright, property and titles of all photography and images worldwide and at all times.

Use: Images once supplied may not be forwarded to any 3rd parties for re-use. Images are supplied on a rolling licence, the licence only applies to the advertiser and product as stated and agreed at the time of booking and its benefit shall not be assigned to any third party without the Photographer’s permission. Images may not be re-used after the initial use without the photographer’s permission, for other purposes, e.g. use in relation to another product, company or sub-licensing through a photo library.

Exclusivity: The agency and advertiser will be authorised to publish the photographs to the exclusion of all other persons including the photographer. However, the photographer retains the right in all cases to use the photographs in any manner at any time and in any part of the world for the purposes of advertising or otherwise promoting his/her work. The photographer shall be entitled to use the photographs including out-takes for any purposes including for stock image libraries unless otherwise agreed at the time of booking.

Accreditation:Where it is reasonably possible all published photographs/images are to include Pro Vision Photography's website address as the credit within or exactly next to it, clear and legible as follows: www.provisionphoto.co.uk

Indemnity: The photographer agrees to indemnify the agency and the advertiser against all expenses, damages, claims and legal costs arising out of any failure by the photographer to obtain any clearances for which he/she was responsible in respect of third party copyright works, trade marks, designs or other intellectual property. The photographer shall only be responsible for obtaining such clearances if this has been expressly agreed before the shoot. In all other cases the agency shall be responsible for obtaining such clearances and will indemnify the photographer against all expenses, damages, claims and legal costs arising out of any failure to obtain such clearances.

Force Majeure:The due performance of the work detailed above is subject to the photographer's alteration or cancellation owing to any cause beyond his/her control.
