TERMS

These terms explain what you can expect when you book with Geronimo, and what I expect from you. Please read them before you book.

1. Who these terms apply to

These terms apply to every photo shoot booked with Geronimo, run by Geronimo, based in Nederland (“I”, “me”), and to the person who books the shoot (“you”). Different arrangements only apply when we agree on them in writing, for example by email.

2. Request and confirmation

A booking made through this website is a request. Our agreement starts when I confirm your booking by email. I may decline a request, for example when the date or the assignment does not work for me. Please check the details in your confirmation and let me know straight away if something is not right.

3. Prices and deposit

• Prices are in euros and are shown with each shoot or quoted to you before I confirm. For shoots marked “On request” you receive a price before the booking is confirmed.
• If a deposit applies, the amount and how to pay it are stated in your confirmation. The deposit is deducted from the total price.
• The remaining amount is due as stated in your confirmation or invoice. Travel costs, entrance fees or location costs outside the agreed price are only charged when we agreed on them beforehand.

4. Cancelling and rescheduling

• You can cancel free of charge up to 48 hours before the start of the shoot, via your login or by sending me a message. Any amount already paid is then refunded.
• Want to reschedule? Let me know at least 48 hours before the shoot and we will find a new date together.
• If you cancel later than 48 hours before the shoot, or do not show up, the deposit (if any) is not refunded.
• If I have to cancel, for example because of illness or an emergency, I let you know as soon as possible. We then choose a new date, or you get back everything you have paid.

5. Weather

For outdoor shoots we keep an eye on the forecast together. If rain, storm or other weather makes the shoot impossible or unsafe, we move it to a new date at no extra cost. A cloudy sky alone is not a reason to reschedule — soft light can be beautiful.

6. On the day

• Please be on time. If you arrive late, the shoot may be shorter so that the agreed end time stays the same.
• If the shoot takes place at a private location, you make sure that we are allowed to photograph there.
• I may refuse to photograph in situations that are unsafe or that go against the law.

7. Delivery of your photos

• I make a careful selection and edit the photos in my own style. Unedited files (RAW files) and rejected photos are not delivered.
• You receive your photos in a private online gallery, protected with a PIN code, usually within 14 days after the shoot unless we agree otherwise.
• The gallery stays available until the date shown in the gallery. Please download your photos before then; after that date I am not obliged to keep them.

8. Copyright

The copyright on all photos stays with the photographer, Geronimo, also after delivery and payment.

9. How you may use the photos

• After payment you receive a personal, non-exclusive licence to use the photos for private purposes: to keep, print, frame and share them, including on your personal social media. Mentioning @geronimo is appreciated.
• Commercial use (for example on a business website, in advertising or for sale) is only allowed when we agree on it in writing, for example for food, hospitality or content shoots.
• Please do not edit the photos in a way that changes their character (for example with heavy filters) and do not pass them off as your own work.

10. Portfolio and social media

I only use photos in which you can be recognised on my website, in my portfolio or on social media with your consent. You can withdraw that consent at any time; I then stop using those photos for new publications.

11. Liability

• I work with care and good equipment. Still, I cannot guarantee specific shots or results.
• My liability is limited to the amount you paid for the shoot. I am not liable for indirect damage.
• If photos are lost because of circumstances beyond my control (for example a technical defect), my liability is limited to refunding the amount paid for the shoot.
• These limits do not apply in case of intent or gross negligence on my part.

12. Complaints and applicable law

Not happy with something? Please let me know within 14 days after delivery. I will get back to you and we will look for a good solution together. Dutch law applies to our agreement. If we cannot solve a dispute together, it is submitted to the competent court in the Netherlands.

How I handle your personal data is described in the privacy statement.
