The Client is informed of the T&Cs and agrees to them without reservation. A summary of the main clauses is available for reference in the Contract signed by the Photographer and the Client prior to the Service, the supply of Products or Media.

Article 3 – Pre-contractual Information

The Client acknowledges having familiarised themselves with Tiphaine Barth’s photographic style.

The booking of the session is confirmed when the quote and the contract are both signed by the Client and sent to the Photographer (in person, electronically or by post). No date can be reserved without the signature of these two documents, which are necessary for the smooth running of the photographic process.

The Photographer undertakes a best-efforts obligation but in no case an obligation of result: if the photos produced at the end of a service are not to the Client’s liking, the Client may not demand a refund of sums already paid, it being understood that the Client validated the quote with full knowledge of the Photographer’s style.

The Photographer and the Client jointly agree on the date, time and location of the shoot.

In the event that the Client or the Photographer is unable to carry out the Session (illness, accident, Covid-19…), both parties shall notify each other as early as possible. A rescheduling is then proposed within a period not exceeding 1 month in order to reschedule the Session. In the event of a temporary unavailability that prevents rescheduling, the deposit paid is non-refundable.

In the event of force majeure (death, accident, unforeseen professional travel…), the Session is cancelled with a refund of the deposit, or rescheduled to a later date at the Photographer’s discretion.

Article 4 – Carrying Out the Shoot

On the day of the Session: after 30 minutes of delay on the part of the Client or the Photographer, the Session no longer takes place.

If both parties agree on a new date within a maximum of 1 month after the original date, the Session may be rescheduled. Otherwise, it is automatically cancelled and the Client may not claim a refund of sums already paid.

For outdoor Sessions, the Photographer may propose rescheduling the Session if the weather conditions (rain, hail, storm…) do not allow for conditions favourable to obtaining a satisfactory photographic result for the Client.

Regarding travel: the Client is informed at the time of the quote of the possible amount of travel expenses.

In the event of a major technical failure of the Photographer’s equipment (breakdown, malfunction…) preventing the proper carrying out of the Session, the Photographer undertakes to propose a new Session date to the Client within 3 weeks. If no date is found, the deposit already paid will be automatically refunded to the Client.

Any material damage caused by the Client will result in reimbursement of said equipment at its original purchase value.

Children remain under the responsibility of their parents during shoots or viewing sessions.

Article 5 – Viewing Session, Retouching and Post-Production

During the viewing session, the selection of photos is made jointly between the Photographer and the Client.

Retouching is an integral part of the artistic process. For this reason, no raw photos (or RAW format) will be delivered to the Client.

The Photographer is the sole decision-maker regarding the retouching carried out in post-production (colour grading, framing, imperfections, etc.).

The timeframe between the photo session and a viewing session is defined jointly between the Client and the Photographer, prior to the signing of the contract. After the viewing session, the Photographer does everything possible to retouch the selected photos in order to send them for printing via her partners as quickly as possible. However, no maximum deadline is agreed for the receipt of the photos, it being understood that the Photographer is dependent on printing deadlines and contingencies beyond her control.

Article 6 – Pricing and Payment

Quotes are valid for 30 days. After this period, a new quote may be issued with updated pricing by the Photographer.

The prices shown on the Photographer’s website may be modified by her at any time, without prior notice. For services in the process of being booked or carried out, the amount invoiced will be that shown on the quote signed by the Client.

At the time of booking, a deposit is paid by the Client. This deposit corresponds to the session fee or 30% of the total amount of the service. This deposit is clearly detailed in the quote provided to the Client by the Photographer.

The remaining balance is paid at the time of the shoot.

Payment for the selected Media is made on the day of the viewing session, if one takes place.

Upon simple request from the Client, a payment option in 3 interest-free instalments may be arranged.

Delivery of physical Media is carried out by post (additional charge specified in the quote) or handed over in person.

In the event of printing by a provider other than Tiphaine Barth Photographies, the Photographer shall not be held responsible in the event of the Client’s dissatisfaction with the print quality (colours, rendering, etc.).

Article 7 – Right of Image, Copyright, Storage of Images

The Photographer undertakes to retain the photographs taken for the Client for a period of 6 months.

Photographs are works of the mind under the intellectual property code (art. L112-2 CPI). They represent the work of the Photographer. In this regard, the Client undertakes to respect the work of Tiphaine Barth, and refrains from making any modifications to the images delivered to them. For example, the following modifications are prohibited: cropping, colour changes, application of filters…

In the event of the images being used on the Client’s social media or websites, the Client undertakes to credit the Photographer by clearly stating “Photographer: Tiphaine Barth Photographies.”

The use of photographs is intended for personal purposes, within a private setting. No transfer of rights is implied by the delivery of the photos, and any specific use (advertising, press…) must be discussed with the Photographer and detailed in the quote (rights transfer).

Regarding the right of image: it authorises the Photographer to use the images in which the person appears, to promote the Photographer’s activity (on the internet, social media, photo competitions, traditional advertising such as flyers, etc.). It is understood that the use of the images must in no way harm the photographed person (no use on pornographic, racist, xenophobic, homophobic or otherwise prejudicial material).

This publication authorisation is granted for a period of 5 years, with tacit renewal.

The Client may object to the publication of images in which they appear by simple written request to tiphainephotographies@gmail.com, prior to the delivery of the images.

Article 8 – Applicable Law and Recourse

In accordance with articles L.616-1 and R.616-1 of the Consumer Code, the Photographer has put in place a consumer mediation scheme, with: CM2C Centre de Médiation de la Consommation de Conciliateurs de justice. In the event of a dispute, the Client may submit their complaint on the website https://www.cm2c.net, by email at cm2c@cm2c.net or by post by writing to CM2C – 14 rue Saint Jean 75017 Paris.

This contract is governed by French law. In the event of a dispute that cannot be resolved amicably, legal proceedings must be brought before the Tribunal Judiciaire de Toulon, the Photographer’s reference court.
