These Terms & Conditions apply to photography services provided by Dano Odermatt Fotografie unless otherwise agreed in writing.

Individual agreements, quotations and contracts take precedence over these Terms & Conditions.

​

2. Booking and Contract

A booking becomes binding once the client accepts a quotation, confirms the booking in writing or signs the corresponding agreement.

The scope of the photography service, duration, location, deliverables, price and any additional services are defined in the individual quotation or agreement.

​

3. Prices and Payment

All prices are stated in Swiss francs (CHF) unless otherwise agreed.

​

4. Travel and Additional Expenses

Travel costs, parking fees, accommodation and other necessary expenses may be charged in addition to the photography fee unless they are expressly included in the agreed price.

Any substantial additional costs will be discussed with the client in advance whenever reasonably possible.

​

5. Cancellation and Rescheduling

If the client cancels or postpones a confirmed booking, Dano Odermatt Fotografie may charge reasonable cancellation costs depending on the timing of the cancellation and work already performed.

Any specific cancellation conditions stated in an individual quotation or contract take precedence.

If a booking needs to be postponed due to circumstances beyond either party's reasonable control, both parties will make reasonable efforts to find an alternative date.

​

6. Photographer's Inability to Perform

If Dano Odermatt Fotografie is unable to perform the agreed services due to illness, accident or another serious unforeseen circumstance, reasonable efforts will be made to inform the client as soon as possible and, where appropriate, assist in finding an alternative photographer.

Any amounts already paid for services that cannot be provided will be refunded, unless otherwise agreed.

Further liability is excluded to the extent permitted by law.

​

7. Image Selection and Editing

The photographer determines the artistic and technical selection of the images delivered.

Images that are duplicates, test shots, technically unsuitable or otherwise not part of the final selection are not normally delivered.

The final images are edited according to the photographer's visual style and professional judgement.

RAW files and unedited files are not included unless expressly agreed in writing.

​

8. Delivery
