TERMS & CONDITIONS

FRENCH fotos/SMALL PRINT

CONDITIONS OF SUBMISSION AND REPRODUCTION OF PICTURES

Your retention of our pictures implies that you accept these conditions in their entirety. If these conditions are unacceptable, please return our pictures immediately.

  1. In these Conditions, the term picture includes a digital picture file, photographic print, transparency or negative; the term reproduction includes any form of publication or copying of the whole or part of any picture, whether by printing, photography, slide projection, xerography, artist’s reference, artist’s illustration, layout or presentation, electronic or mechanical reproduction or by any other means.

  2. Our published reproduction rates are per single use. Rates for repeat use are subject to negotiation.

  3. All pictures other than digital picture files obtained from French fotos/Small Print are borrowed only, and must be returned within two calendar months of receipt, after which they are liable to a holding fee (see current scale of fees) unless permission has been obtained to keep them longer without such fee.

  4. Our delivery note will list all the pictures delivered to you, which shall be presumed to have been received in good condition unless within two days of receipt you notify us in writing of any discrepancy or damage.

  5. A service fee (see rates) is generally charged if no pictures are ultimately used.

  6. All loss or damage must be paid for. Neither picture nor mount should be marked. If we have to remove your marks, there will be a charge (see rates).

  7. The individual to whom pictures are lent or sent is personally responsible for their safe-keeping and return in good condition, for informing us of use, and for seeing that payment is made.

  8. The borrowing or purchase of a picture does not carry with it the right to reproduce. Reproduction will be deemed to imply acceptance of our rates and conditions. Clients who proceed to reproduction before negotiating rates must expect to pay current rates in full.

  9. When pictures are returned, full details of use, including rights required, must be supplied.

  10. Payment for reproduction need not be made until publication or transmission, but is then due immediately at current rates unless otherwise negotiated.

  11. Payment for service and holding fees, and charges for loss or damage, is due immediately. Our terms are 30 days net. UK Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998: Interest at 8% above UK base rate and statutory compensation will be charged on overdue payments.

  12. All pictures reproduced must be credited to ‘French fotos’. If this credit is not given, an additional charge equivalent to 50% of the reproduction fee will be incurred.

  13. Pictures must not be passed from one client to another, even within the same organisation, without our permission. Should this be done, both clients may be charged the appropriate fees.

  14. A copy of any publication in which our pictures are reproduced must be sent to us on or preferably before publication.

  15. Pictures despatched by us but not received by you or received damaged are our responsibility. Pictures despatched by you but not received by us or received damaged are your responsibility and if lost or damaged in the return post must be paid for by you.
