Terms & Conditions
It is agreed that the following terms and conditions are integral to this contract/invoice and that no variation or modification of this contract shall be effective unless accepted by Mane Focus Photography (referred to as “the Photographer” or “the Photographers”) in writing. By purchasing images or making a booking, you are agreeing to the below terms and conditions.
Copyright – Under the 1988 Copyright Act, the copyright is assigned to the Photographer. Copying, publishing or reproducing is prohibited without the prior permission of Mane Focus Photography.
Copyright Infringements – Any persons found to have taken screenshots from the website will be invoiced for damages and agree to pay £40 per screenshot posted, in addition to their images being removed from the website and risk their participation in future events covered by Mane Focus Photography not being photographed.
Commercial Usage – Images purchased are for personal use only (unless confirmed in writing by Mane Focus Photography) and should not be used to promote any goods/services or be posted to any business website without prior consent or the appropriate licence being discussed and purchased. Any breach of this will result in the offender being invoiced for damages.
Image Alteration – The Client may not, either personally or via a third party, alter, add to, or manipulate a picture by any means or reproduce a picture in whole or in part as an element within, or as a montage with, another picture without prior written permission of Mane Focus Photography.
Display – Mane Focus Photography reserve the right to use any image taken by the Photographer on social media or any advertising directly associated with Mane Focus Photography.
Force Majeure – Every effort will be made to fulfil the contract, but its performance may be subject to alteration or cancellation by the Photographers due to causes beyond their control (e.g., acts of God, changes in legislation, floods, fires, computer failures, etc.). In the unlikely event of total photographic failure or cancellation of this contract by the Photographers, liability will be limited to a full refund of all monies paid.
Liability – The Photographers shall not be liable for indirect loss or third-party claims occasioned by delay in completing the work or for any loss to our customers arising from delay in transit. Where work is defective for any reason, including negligence, our liability (if any) shall be limited to rectifying such defect.
Licence – The Photographers shall be granted artistic licence in relation to the poses photographed, the location used, and digital retouching. The Photographers’ judgement regarding the locations, poses, and number of photographs taken shall be deemed to be correct.
Photographs – All photograph sizes are nominal. The Photographer will provide a pleasing colour balance but cannot guarantee exact colour matching. In the case of part mono/part colour images, the colours used will be subject to the photographer’s artistic interpretation and will be deemed to be correct.
All photographs supplied by contracted companies on behalf of Mane Focus Photography are created to the highest standards using top-quality materials and the latest processing techniques. However, over time, all photographs will fade, especially if exposed to bright sunlight or not displayed behind glass. Mane Focus Photography cannot accept responsibility for this gradual image deterioration.
All pictures purchased online are presumed to have been received in good condition unless the Client notifies Mane Focus Photography in writing of any discrepancy or error within 14 days of receipt.
Payment – Payment is required in advance unless otherwise agreed in writing by Mane Focus Photography
Prices – All services and/or goods are supplied at the current prices ruling at the time of supply and are subject to change without prior notice.
Travel Expenses – Travel expenses depend upon the location of the shoot, and are to be discussed at the time of booking.
Refund Policy – We will not refund, nor accept refusal to pay charges for, any technically acceptable photograph supplied either in print or in electronic format. No exception can be made as we cannot be held responsible for individual tastes or expectations.
Law – These Terms and Conditions shall be governed and construed in accordance with the Laws of England.

The Photographer reserves the right to amend these Terms and Conditions without prior notice.
