the small print

If I could do without the small print, I would. But, there has to be some framework, I suppose.

I try not to make you jump through hoops, but I do go by the industry standard terms & conditions, created jointly by the two leading professional bodies, the AIPA & NZIPP:

NZIPP terms & conditions.pdf for private clients

AIPA terms & conditions.pdf for commercial clients

If you have any queries at all on the finer legal points, then please just email me your questions.

late payment

I allow a generous 30 days for payment of my invoices, but if the invoice remains unpaid after that time I reserve the right to charge penalty interest at 12.5% of the total outstanding amount, monthly, compounded.

I retain ownership & complete control, irrespective of the type of licence, until due payment is made, in full. This means I may legally prevent you from using any images until they are fully paid for.

If you are having difficulty paying, then please just talk to me. I do always listen sympathetically if I am given the chance.

use of images

In the terms & conditions documents, there are clauses stating that I can use the images for personal promotion, competition entries, gallery display etc. Be assured that I always seek the subject’s permission where possible. The reason for the clause is that sometimes it is not possible to track down the subjects / clients because they have emigrated, changed their names etc. If there are specific images you would never like to be displayed, then do let me know at viewing time & I will make a notation to that effect.

Of course, without appropriate model releases, I would never allow client’s images to be used commercially.
