Use of images

An agreement about digital or other images between Pretty Planet Project and a client is reached the moment the clients pays for the photos, receives them and accepts them. Use of photos always constitute acceptance. It is only possible to deviate from this if the deviation was agreed to in writing. An agreement means the right for the client to publish or reproduce an image. This permits the client a one-time, non-exclusive use of the image(s) for a specifically described purpose. Permission for public use in one medium does not at any time include permission for public use in another medium, whether simultaneous or at a different time. After written permission from Pretty Planet Project, images can be bought royalty-free at three times the regular fee. Images remain the property of Pretty Planet Project at all times, unless the intellectual property rights have been transferred in writing. This writing has to have the signature from the owner of Pretty Planet Project.

Payment

Images are delivered after the amount agreed upon has been deposited on Pretty Planet Project’s bank account. In cases where Pretty Planet Project and a client agree to deviate from this, payment by the client for image and text services should take place within 30 days of the invoice date. After that date the client is in default. An interest rate in addition to the sum of the invoice may be charged and the costs of the steps necessary to collect payment of the invoice will be charged to the client. Payment for other services will be done by separate agreement between Pretty Planet Project and the client.
