1. Definitions
In these General Terms & Conditions the following terms have the meanings
referred to: Aw: Copyright Act [Auteurswet] 1912
Photo and/or film Work: Photo and/or film works as referred to in Article 10,
section 1, subsection 9 of the Aw, or other works covered by the Aw that can
be equated with said Photo and/or film works.
Photographer: the user as defined by Book 6, Article 231 of the Dutch Civil
Code. Wherever the definition ‘the photographer’ appears in this document,
New Butter fulfills this role as the responsible production company. Other
Party: the other party as defined by Book 6, Article 231 of the Dutch Civil
Code. Usage: copying and/or publication as defined by Article 1 in
conjunction with Articles 12 and 13 of the Aw.
2. Application
These General Terms and Conditions apply to all legal relationships between a Photographer and Other Party, including offers, confirmations of commissions and oral or written agreements, even after the termination of an agreement, unless the parties have explicitly deviated from these Terms and Conditions in writing.
3. Price
3.1 If the parties have not agreed a price, the Photographer will fix the price
in a reasonable and fair way, bearing in mind the scope and extent of the
desired usage of the work by the Other Party.
3.2 Necessary costs and/or additional work must be paid by the Other
Party.
4. Invoice and payment
4.1 Payment will be made within 14 days of the date of the invoice.
4.2 If the Photographer has not received the amount due within the period
specified in 4.1, the Other Party will be in breach and therefore liable for
interest at the statutory rate plus 2%.
4.3 If the Other Party is in breach of any of its obligations under the
agreement, including any infringement of copyright, it will be liable for all
judicial and extra-judicial costs incurred by the Photographer when
acquiring payment.
4.4 All use of the Photo and/or film Work, in any shape or form, is prohibited
until the Other Party has paid any of the Photographer's invoices which
might be outstanding.
5. Complaints
Complaints regarding the Photo and/or film Work supplied must be reported to the Photographer in writing/by e-mail as soon as possible, within a maximum of ten working days of its delivery. The Photographer has the right to substitute the rejected work with good work within a reasonable period, unless this would cause disproportionate damage to the Other Party.
6. Comission
6.1 The photographer is entitled to carry out work which is not explicitly
described in a commission contract at its own technical and creative
discretion.
6.2 Changes to the commission by the Other Party for whatever reason, are
for the account of the Other Party and will only be implemented by the
Photographer after a separate offer for the additional costs has been
signed as approved by the Other Party and returned to the Photographer.
6.3 In the event of cancellation of a commission contract by the Other Party,
at any point in time and for whatever reason, the Photographer will be
entitled to the agreed payment. In the event of cancellation, a nonprofessional
client will only owe a reasonably determined part of the
payment, bearing in mind the work already performed.
7. Copyright
The copyright of the Photo and/or film Works is owned by the Photographer.
8. License
8.1 Permission to use a Photo and/or film Work by the Other Party will be
granted exclusively in writing/by e-mail in the form of a licence, of which the
nature and scope is described by the Photographer in the offer and/or the
confirmation of the commission and/or the relevant invoice.
8.2 If the scope of the licence is not specified, it will never extend beyond
the right to one single use, in original form and for a purpose, circulation
and method as intended by the parties at the time they enter into the
agreement, in accordance with the Photographer's interpretation.
8.3 Exclusive use must always be agreed explicitly in writing and is not
covered by the right to use referred to in Article 8.2.
8.4 The Other Party is not permitted to transfer the right to use described in
this article to third parties unless the Photographer has granted written
permission in advance.
8.5 Unless otherwise agreed, the Other Party is not entitled to grant sublicences
to third parties.
9. Infringement of copyright
9.1 Any unauthorized use of a Photo and/or film Work is deemed to be an
infringement of the Photographer’s copyright.
9.2 Any infringement entitles the Photographer to claim compensation of at
least three times the licence fee usually charged by the Photographer for
such type of use, without losing any right to claim compensation for other
damage (including the right to compensation for all direct and indirect
damage and all judicial and extra-judicial costs actually incurred).
10. Reference to name and Personality Rights
10.1 The name of the Photographer must be clearly credited alongside the
Photo and/or film Work used, or included elsewhere in the publication with
reference to the Photo and/or film Work.

the Other Party will, at all times, observe the Photographer's personality
rights in accordance with Article 25, section 1, subsection c and d of the Aw.
10.3 In the event of any infringement of the Photographer's personality
rights ex Article 25 of the Copyright Act, including the right to be named, the
Other Party will owe compensation of at least 100% of the licence fee
usually charged by the Photographer for such type of use, without losing
any right to claim compensation for other damage (including the right to
compensation for all direct and indirect damage and all judicial and extrajudicial
costs actually incurred).

11.1 The Photographer is authorised to enter into this Agreement and grant
the aforementioned Licence.

third parties and/or damage resulting from the use and publication of the
Work, except in the event of gross negligence or intent on the part of the
Photographer.

amount or, if and insofar related to insured damage, to the amount of the
sum actually paid out by the insurance.
11.4 If third parties give notice of, or submit, a claim vis-à-vis the
Photographer and/or Other Party with regard to the Work, the Other Party
and the Photographer will determine, on the basis of mutual consultation,
whether they are going to submit a defence and how.
12. Bankruptcy/moratorium
The Photographer and the Other Party are each entitled to terminate the agreement with immediate effect if the Other Party becomes bankrupt or is granted a moratorium. In the event of the bankruptcy of the Other Party, the Photographer will have the right to terminate the licence.
13. Choice of law and forum
13.1 All matters governed by these General Terms and Conditions are
