Terms

Scope

These terms apply to contracts for photo and video shoots and their editing between DenizTech Ahmet Deniz, Photography Denizz, Feldstr. 48, 31275 Lehrte (we) and consumers (§ 13 BGB; you: the client). The client's own terms do not apply.

Making the contract and what it contains

We make our offer by WhatsApp, Instagram or e-mail. We send you these terms as a link or attachment before you accept. The contract comes into being when you accept the offer in text form (for example with “Yes, we are booking”) and we confirm the booking. We confirm it to you by e-mail.

The contract consists of what we offered you and discussed with you before or in a conversation by WhatsApp, Instagram or e-mail, for example video, photos, how many photos are edited, how many hours, date and price, together with the information on the booked package on our website. We record the offer and your acceptance in text form. Individual agreements take precedence over these terms (§ 305b BGB).

What we provide

The type and scope of our service follow from what was offered and discussed under “Making the contract and what it contains”.

Extras and gifts

What we expressly offer as a gift we deliver as offered. Beyond that, a gift creates no further claims. Your statutory rights in case of defects in the agreed service remain unaffected.

Additional hours

If you want additional hours, we tell you the price and the terms. They apply once you agree, in text form if possible. Without your agreement no payment is owed for additional hours.

Promotions

A promotion applies only within its period of validity. Once it has ended, its conditions no longer apply.

Deposit and cancellation

For some bookings we agree a deposit with you in the offer; we state the amount and due date there. If the booking is carried out, it is credited against the price.

If you cancel the date, we keep the deposit as a lump-sum compensation for the date held for you and our effort, but at most the amount of the loss we normally suffer from such a cancellation. You are expressly allowed to prove that we suffered no loss or a considerably smaller one; we then refund the difference (§ 309 no. 5 (b) BGB).

If we cannot take the date, for example because of illness, we refund the deposit in full. We first try to find a replacement. Statutory rights to terminate or withdraw remain unaffected.

Payment and prices

All prices are final prices. We tell you the price, the due date and any travel costs in the offer. You can pay by bank transfer, PayPal or cash.

Online gallery

We deliver your pictures in a password-protected online gallery. The first month is free; download your pictures during that time. Before the time runs out we e-mail you a notice that the gallery will be deleted in 14 days. A paid extension exists only at your request; it does not renew automatically. Without an extension the gallery is deactivated first and deleted after 2 months at the latest.

Copyright and use

We remain the author of the pictures (§ 7 UrhG). You receive a simple, non-transferable right to private, non-commercial use of the delivered photos and videos: you may view, save, print or have them printed, use them in albums and photo books, pass them on to family and guests, crop them, apply filters and show them on your private social media profiles. We are glad if you name “Photography Denizz” when you do. For commercial use (advertising, sale) you need our consent.

We publish your pictures only with your separate consent.

Liability

We are liable without limit for intent and gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health, where we have given a guarantee, for defects we fraudulently concealed and under the German Product Liability Act (ProdHaftG). For a slightly negligent breach of an essential contractual obligation we are liable only for the foreseeable damage typical of the contract. An essential contractual obligation is one whose fulfilment makes the proper performance of the contract possible in the first place and on which you may regularly rely. Otherwise liability for slight negligence is excluded. Statutory rights in case of defects remain unaffected.

Right of withdrawal

For contracts for photo and video shoots that provide for a specific date or period for their performance, there is, in our view, no right of withdrawal under § 312g(2) no. 9 BGB. For all other contracts, for example the extension of the gallery or additional editing without a fixed date, and as a precaution also for contracts with a date, the withdrawal notice we send you in text form before the booking applies.

Final provisions

The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies. Mandatory consumer protection rules of the state in which you have your habitual residence remain unaffected. Changes and additions to the contract require text form; individual agreements remain unaffected (§ 305b BGB). If a provision is invalid, the others stay valid; the law takes the place of the invalid one (§ 306 BGB). We are neither willing nor obliged to take part in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board (§ 36 VSBG).

The language of the contract is the language in which we make you the offer. The Turkish and English versions of these terms are translations; if they differ, the German version applies.
