Terms & Conditions

For Services, 3rd Party Use & Distribution,

I am here for you! As supporters of my ever-growing passion for Aviation and Photography, I value my customers and supporters more than anything! Please read my terms & conditions carefully.

TERMS OF USE

Services & Photoshoots: Because personal services and photoshoots are in person arrangements, the rules herein do not apply unless specified by the Tailor-made contract. This is purely because the vast majority of services will involve families, relatives, business groups, public sale listings, etc.

Media & News Outlets: I am a proud supporter of local news outlets across Vancouver Island. Please contact me via email or contact form to request the use of my photos. Unauthorized use of my photos for the purposes of television or social media stock or article support is strictly forbidden. All photos on this website are subject to copyright regulations. Unauthorized use or 3rd party distribution of my photos without explicit written consent is strictly prohibited.

Personal Use: Please contact me via email or contact form to request an EULA for my photos or services. Written permission MUST be obtained prior to use of any photo that I have taken. As per “Personal” use, you must NOT use my photos for any form of monetary gains without my written consent (See “Commercial Use”). Any photos used for said purpose without the possession of the appropriate EULA will result in a termination request and must be terminated immediately when a request is received. See “Commercial Use” below.

Items in Online Stores: Any items sold in online stores are considered end-products and may not be replicated or copied for any reason. I do not personally produce the items, and do not take responsibility for defects in the products sold in my stores. Please reach out directly to the product supplier if you have issues with any items purchased.

Commercial Use: As per above, any photos that are to be used on commercial websites or social media pages to promote or result in direct monetary gains MUST be approved for use and backed with the appropriate EULA in the customer’s possession. The watermark in any photo MUST remain visible and intact. This is purely to credit my original service in taking the photo. Typically, Commercial Use EULA’s will be One-Time Payment EULA’s and the customer is responsible for protection of purchased material.

EULA Protection: As per above, once the customer has purchased EULA’s for a product/products, it is the customer’s responsibility to protect that product from theft. In signing an EULA, you agree to protect your purchased product to the best of your ability.

Photo Credits: As per above, all photos taken after January 1, 2020 feature a unique watermark. If photos are being used in the media or commercially in any way, shape or form, the watermark must remain intact and visible to the naked eye. If for some reason, the photo is resized to a point where the watermark is not readable, please ensure that credit is given in the image caption (if used in an article, social media post or news broadcast). Photos authorized for personal use do not require the watermark to be visible, though credit must be given if shared publicly.

Watermarks: Photos authorized for commercial or media use will be issued standard with watermarks. These watermarks will be placed in a conspicuous area of the photo (Without decreasing the visual appeal of the photo). They must NOT be removed for ANY reason without my consent to do so. If they are removed from a photo, external credit must be given. Unauthorized removal of watermarks is considered theft of services and/or products.

Terms of Service:

All personal services & photoshoots will be agreed upon by both parties prior to being completed. The terms and conditions listed on this page MUST BE AGREED UPON prior to any services taking place. This mutual agreement will be performed either a) over the phone, b) face-to-face consultation, c) services may require signing of a written agreement, see below. Commencement of any service signifies that you have read and agree to all applicable terms & conditions listed below.

Contractual (Written) Agreements: As per above, certain services may require a signed, written agreement prior to being completed. Conditions that require this are: a) entry or access to private property (including hangars), b) when accessing a private airfield (Courtenay Airpark, etc), c) When services require flying in a privately registered aircraft. see below.

Payment for Services: Any and all services must be paid in full prior to being performed or given. Service fees will be included in written agreements to be kept by both the photographer and the client. Unfortunately, payment must be made by cash or e-Transfer. Payment must be made within 24 hours of the consultation between photographer and client. Any agreed times & dates discussed in the consult will be cancelled if the listed conditions are not met.

Contracts for Land Survey Photographs or Air-to-Air Photos: As per above, a signed, written agreement must be obtained prior to contracted service when using a privately registered aircraft. For legal reasons, the aircraft owner MUST provide all documentation if requested (proof of ownership, registration, valid insurance, maintenance records, etc) for the aircraft of choice, and said documentation must meet the satisfaction of the photographer prior to services taking place.

Mechanical Failures: If payment has been taken for a service, and the aircraft or vehicle becomes unserviceable or unsafe, the agreed service will be suspended & rescheduled for a time after the aircraft or vehicle has been signed off by a certified AME or RED SEAL mechanic. If rescheduling cannot take place, you will receive a refund, minus the fixed booking fee.
