Image Download, Invoice Payment and Gift Voucher Terms & Conditions for Online Orders (Additional Invoice Payment and Gift Voucher Sale Terms & Conditions purchased Online are detailed further down)

(this is to be used in conjunction with your signed Photography Contract, if applicable)

 

1.         Introduction

1.1     These terms and conditions shall govern the sale and supply of downloadable images through our website, and the use of those images, invoice payments and the sale of gift vouchers.

1.2     You will be asked to give your express agreement to these terms and conditions before you place an order on our website.

1.3     This document does not affect any statutory rights you may have as a consumer.

2.   Interpretation

2.1     In these terms and conditions:

(a)      "we" means Jacon Marx Fouche t/a Jason Fouche Photography (and "us and "our" should be construed accordingly);

(b)      "you" means our customer or prospective customer under these terms and conditions (and "your" should be construed accordingly);

(c)      "images" means those images that are available for purchase on our website; and

(d)      "your images" means any such images that you have purchased through our website (including any enhanced or upgraded version of the images that we may make available to you from time to time) or any images that you have already paid for from a photo shoot session.

3.         Order process

3.1     The advertising of images on our website constitutes an "invitation to treat" rather than a contractual offer.

3.2     No contract will come into force between you and us unless and until we accept your order in accordance with the procedure set out in this Section 3 (unless as part of your signed Photography Contract, you are entitled to all or a set number of digital downloads from your photo shoot session, as part of your fee).

3.3     To enter into a contract through our website to download and / or purchase downloadable images from us, pay an invoice or purchase gift vouchers, the following steps must be taken: add the images, invoice payment option or gift vouchers you wish to download / purchase, to your shopping basket and then proceed by clicking the CHECKOUT button; you must enter your details, then consent to all the terms listed (where there are tick boxes), the terms of this document, which includes your signed Photography Contract (if applicable) then click the NEXT button; if the balance is zero, click the COMPLETE ORDER button, then you will then be taken to another screen where you can download the images immediately via a link.  Otherwise click the NEXT button and choose your preferred payment method; if you choose to pay by card, you will be requested to enter your card details and the payment will be processed by Stripe when you click the SUBMIT PAYMENT button.  If you choose to pay via PayPal you will then be transferred to the payment service provider's website where our payment service provider will handle your payment (there will be a link to return to our website); after your payment has been processed or you have clicked the COMPLETE ORDER button, your order will become a binding contract; if you have made payment on our payment service provider’s website, click the button, Return to Merchant, and then you will be returned to our website; in all cases, we will immediately (unless there is a fault with our system) send you a notification of your order email.  Your order email will also contain a link to download your images straight away if your order contains digital downloads (unless they are from an Equine Portrait session, in which case they will be emailed or posted at a later date), or, we will confirm by email that we are unable to meet your order.  If all your digital download images in the gallery are £0.00 and you are a business or client (or somebody the client has given access to the gallery) from a commissioned photo shoot session, a binding contract has already been made when you / the client signed the Photography Contract which included all the digital downloads as part of your photo shoot assignment fee.  If you do not receive an email after the checkout process, please check your junk email box.  Please download your images asap after completing the checkout process and before the link expires (please see notification of order email to check date), to ensure you have your images, as we cannot refund you or provide the files to you, if this is not actioned (there is an option to do this straight after completing the checkout process, without going into your email if all the images were £0.00).   

3.4     You will have the opportunity to identify and correct input errors prior to completing your order by checking what is in your shopping basket before completing the payment process on our payment service provider’s website, clicking the SUBMIT PAYMENT or COMPLETE ORDER button.  If there are any errors, please remove the relevant items in your shopping basket or amend the quantities, and click the UPDATE ORDER button, to ensure your changes are saved.  Please then check your order is correct once again.  Repeat this process if necessary, until all the items in your basket are correct.  Please ensure your email address is correct before completing the payment process on our payment service provider’s website or clicking the SUBMIT PAYMENT or COMPLETE ORDER button, as this is where your order details will be sent and a link to download your images (if applicable).  We are unable to re-send the download link or refund you, if you have supplied an incorrect email address.  Due to the nature of these orders, Digital Downloads cannot be exchanged or refunded once payment has been processed or the SUBMIT PAYMENT or COMPLETE ORDER button has been clicked, as the Digital Downloads are available for immediate download after payment has been made or the SUBMIT PAYMENT or COMPLETE ORDER button has been clicked (unless this is from an Equine Portrait session).  This also applies even if you have added and / or chosen the incorrect item/s by mistake or changed your mind.

3.5     It is your responsibility to ensure you have entered any, promo codes, before completing the checkout process.  We are unable to provide a refund if this has not been actioned.

3.6     If your order contains a mix of products and digital downloads, please refer to both Terms and Conditions for Image Downloads and Goods Sale as both will apply. 

4.         Prices

4.1     Our prices are quoted on our website.

4.2     We will from time to time change the prices quoted on our website, but this will not affect contracts that have previously come into force.

4.3     There is no delivery charge for digital downloads, invoice payments or gift vouchers.

4.4     All amounts stated in these terms and conditions or on our website are stated exclusive of VAT.  The prices listed on the website, is the price you will pay.  There is no VAT breakdown as we are not VAT registered.

5.         Payments

5.1     You must, during the checkout process, pay the prices of the images, invoice payment or gift vouchers you order.

5.2     Payments are made through PayPal.

5.3     If you make an unjustified credit card, debit card or other charge-back then you will be liable to pay us, within 7 days following the date of our written request:

(a)      an amount equal to the amount of the charge-back;

(b)      all third party expenses incurred by us in relation to the charge-back (including charges made by our or your bank or payment processor or card issuer);

(c)      an administration fee of GBP 10.00; and

(d)      all our reasonable costs, losses and expenses incurred in recovering the amounts referred to in this Section 5.3 (including without limitation legal fees and debt collection fees),

          and for the avoidance of doubt, if you fail to recognise or fail to remember the source of an entry on your card statement or other financial statement, and make a charge-back as a result, this will constitute an unjustified charge-back for the purposes of this Section 5.3.

6.         Licensing of images

6.1     Please refer to, “The Licence of Images to Client” section in your signed Photography Contract (if applicable) and sections 6.3 – 6.9 below.

7.1     This Section 7 applies if and only if you offer to contract with us, or contract with us, as a consumer - that is, as an individual acting wholly or mainly outside your trade, business, craft or profession.  If you are the client from a photo shoot, this does not apply to cancelling the signed Photography Contract.  This only applies to the process of the digital images you choose to download and / or purchase to download from this website, if all the digital downloads in the gallery are not £0.00.   

7.2     You may withdraw an offer to enter into a contract with us, or cancel a contract entered into with us by email to, ruth@ruthellenphotography.co.uk, at any time within the period:

          subject to Section 7.3. You do not have to give any reason for your withdrawal or cancellation.

7.3     You agree that we may begin the provision of images before the expiry of the period referred to in Section 7.2, and you acknowledge that, if we do begin the provision of images before the end of that period, you will lose the right to cancel referred to in Section 7.2. (please note, images that are available to download immediately after payment has been processed or the COMPLETE ORDER button has been clicked, cannot be cancelled and no refund or exchange can be offered due to the nature of the purchase, which means you will lose the right to cancel your order – unless due to a fault with the system (not your computer or mobile phone), the images cannot arrive for download, then the other clauses in section 7. will apply).  Just to clarify, due to the nature of these orders, Digital Downloads that are available for immediate download, cannot be exchanged or refunded once payment has been processed or the COMPLETE ORDER button has been clicked, as they are available immediately after payment has been made or the COMPLETE ORDER button has been clicked.  This also applies even if you have added and / or chosen the incorrect item/s by mistake or changed your mind.
