Terms

KCI’s invoice shall be paid within 28 days of issue, unless specifically agreed prior to the booking, in writing.

Right to reproduce images derived from bookings only become effective when the invoice for that booking is paid in full. Any permission for prior use will be automatically revoked if payment is not made in full.

KCI may exercise its statutory right to interest under the Late Payment Of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998, if any invoice falls outside its agreed payment terms. The Client's right to reproduce a picture arises only when KCI’s invoice relating to the grant of such right is fully paid (including interest charges levied on late payment of the invoice or invoices).

Ken Crook Imaging retains the copyright, as specified in the CPDA 1988, to all works created by Ken Crook Imaging for the period stated within the act. Rights of reproduction purchased are for the purposes and periods as specified within the negotiation of each assignment.

Reproduction rights granted are personal to the Client and may not be assigned, nor may any picture submitted to the Client be loaned or transferred to third parties for the promotion or use of the third parties or their businesses.

KCI asserts both its moral right to be identified as the author of its work and the right to a credit is asserted in accordance with sections 77 and 78 of Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988. All pictures wherever used must be credited as follows:- © Ken Crook Imaging

Failure to credit copyright to Ken Crook Imaging shall incur a penalty fee of 100% of the assignment.

All digital images supplied by KCI contain a metadata file within the digital image, this data identifies the author and copyright holder and must not be removed or altered at any time. Removal of the metadata file is prohibited by law. http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2003/2498/regulation/25/made

Once the Client has made a booking for a specific time and date, KCI will not accept any work from other clients for those times and dates. As a result, once a booking is made, if it is subsequently cancelled, a cancellation fee will be charged to the client according to the following schedule. When a client cancels a booking within 1 week of any confirmed date, a fee of 30% of the booked time rate will be charged. When a client cancels photography within one day of any confirmed date, a fee of 70% of the booked time rate will be charged, or 100% if less than 24 hours. In addition to these cancellation fees, the client will be charged for any expenses already incurred by KCI.
I normally work alone, however if the assignment requires a second pair of hands this will be arranged with the client during booking discussions and negotiated within the fee.
All modern DSLR cameras have the ability to shoot HD 1080p video and KCI is able to provide clients with unedited clips for editing.
Images shot by KCI are prepared for clients with the greatest of attention and care, the simple removal of minor flaws in the process comes as standard.  If clients require further attention to perfecting the image or changes to allow the image to meet their needs, this is negotiated on an "image by image" basis. There is no end to what can be achieved with modern software and KCI welcomes the chance to give you the image you require.
