Welcome to Pinecrest View Photography. These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your use of the Pinecrest View Photography website (pinecrestview.sbs) and the photography services we provide.
By accessing our website or using our services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you disagree with any part of the Terms, you may not access the website or use our services.
In these Terms:
We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and use our Website for personal, non-commercial purposes. This license does not include:
You must not use our Website in any way that causes, or may cause, damage to the Website or impairment of the availability or accessibility of the Website. You must not use our Website:
When you create an account on our Website, you must provide information that is accurate, complete, and current at all times. Failure to do so constitutes a breach of the Terms, which may result in immediate termination of your account.
You are responsible for safeguarding the password you use to access our Website and for any activities or actions under your password. You agree not to disclose your password to any third party. You must notify us immediately upon becoming aware of any breach of security or unauthorized use of your account.
Unless otherwise stated, we own or license all intellectual property rights in the Website and all material on the Website. These works are protected by copyright laws and treaties around the world. All such rights are reserved.
Our logo, brand name, and all related names, logos, product and service names, designs, and slogans are trademarks of Pinecrest View Photography or its affiliates. You must not use such marks without our prior written permission.
When you upload content to our Website or submit material to us, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, adapt, publish, translate, and distribute your content in any existing or future media. You also grant us the right to sub-license these rights, and the right to bring an action for infringement of these rights.
You represent and warrant that:
All photographs created by Pinecrest View Photography are protected by copyright law. Unless explicitly stated in a separate agreement, we retain copyright ownership of all images we create.
When you purchase photography services from us, you are typically purchasing a license to use the photographs for specific purposes, not the copyright to the photographs themselves. The scope of this license will be outlined in your service agreement.
Photography services must be booked in advance. A non-refundable deposit (typically 25% of the total fee) is required to secure your booking date. The remaining balance is due on or before the day of the photography session, unless otherwise specified in your service agreement.
We accept payments via credit card, bank transfer, or other methods specified at the time of booking. All prices are in British Pounds Sterling (GBP) and include VAT where applicable.
If you need to cancel or reschedule a photography session, please notify us as soon as possible. Our cancellation policy is as follows:
Rescheduling may be accommodated subject to our availability, but additional fees may apply.
We will make every effort to provide the services as agreed upon. However, we cannot guarantee specific poses, locations, or effects as these may be impacted by factors such as weather, venue restrictions, or subject cooperation.
For outdoor sessions, we may need to reschedule due to adverse weather conditions. We will work with you to find a suitable alternative date.
Images will be delivered in the format and timeframe specified in your service agreement, typically within 2-4 weeks after your session. Rush processing may be available for an additional fee.
We carefully select and edit the best images from your session. The number of final images delivered will depend on the package you've purchased, and we do not provide raw, unedited files.
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, we reserve the right to use any photograph we create for promotional purposes, including but not limited to advertising, display, website content, and publication.
If you have privacy concerns, please discuss these with us before your session so we can make appropriate arrangements.
For photography workshops, courses, or educational content:
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we exclude all representations, warranties, and conditions relating to our Website and Services.
We will not be liable for:
Our maximum aggregate liability for any claims arising out of or related to these Terms or our Services is limited to the total amount paid by you to us for the specific service giving rise to the claim.
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Pinecrest View Photography, its officers, directors, employees, agents, and third parties from and against all losses, expenses, damages, and costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, resulting from any violation of these Terms or any activity related to your account (including negligent or wrongful conduct).
Our Website may contain links to third-party websites or services that are not owned or controlled by Pinecrest View Photography. We have no control over, and assume no responsibility for, the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party websites or services. We do not warrant the offerings of any of these entities/individuals or their websites.
We may terminate or suspend your account and access to our Services immediately, without prior notice or liability, for any reason whatsoever, including without limitation if you breach the Terms.
All provisions of the Terms which by their nature should survive termination shall survive termination, including, without limitation, ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, indemnity, and limitations of liability.
We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to modify or replace these Terms at any time. We will provide notice of changes by posting the updated Terms on this page and updating the "last updated" date. Your continued use of the Website or Services after any such changes constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms.
These Terms shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the United Kingdom, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of those rights.
Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms, including their formation, interpretation, breach, or termination, shall be resolved through a process of negotiation, mediation, and, if necessary, arbitration.
Both parties agree to first attempt to resolve any dispute through good-faith negotiation. If negotiation fails, the parties will attempt to resolve the dispute through mediation in the United Kingdom under the rules of the Centre for Effective Dispute Resolution. If mediation fails, the dispute shall be settled by arbitration in accordance with the rules of the London Court of International Arbitration.
If any provision of these Terms is held to be unenforceable or invalid, such provision will be changed and interpreted to accomplish the objectives of such provision to the greatest extent possible under applicable law, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
