RECEIPT OF PHOTOS

Photo Effex will only accept responsibility for loss or damage to your original photographs, whilst in its care, if deemed to be negligent. Damage or loss occurring during postage will be covered by postal insurance at the same rate as you originally sent them to us (in the event of photos being returned without work being undertaken, a charge will be made to cover the cost of postage). Therefore you are advised to send your photographs either by Royal Mail Special Delivery (compensation up to £2500), by recorded delivery (insurance up to £38) or by insuring against consequential loss with Royal Mail (insurance up to £10,000).

DELIVERY

Your restored or edited photos will be sent directly to you from a professional photographic laboratory. Any failure to deliver will be entirely their responsibility, however Photo Effex will undertake to rectify such situations wherever possible without accepting any liability. Delivery of finished standard photos will be within 2 working days of receipt of payment. Larger prints & canvasses are normally delivered in 5 - 7 working days.

QUALITY

In all cases we will endeavour to produce the very best quality photographs. We will, however be restrained by the quality of original material. Colour & tint will be chosen in keeping with originals & where disputed will be communicated & discussed with the client.

The finish of photos will remain the choice of the client (i.e. gloss, matt or media). Finished photos will be produced as photographs & not as inkjet or laser prints & will therefore be of excellent quality. You are advised to keep your finished photos away from contaminants, such as cigarette smoke & wherever possible under glass or plastic.

PAYMENT

Payment can be made by Cheque or online via this site & is due once a proof has been accepted & before delivery is made. In certain cases a charge may be levied in order to cover return postal charges.

COPYRIGHT

In all cases we accept no responsibility for copyright infringement. We will presume you own the copyright to your images once you send them to us for consideration or unless you tell us otherwise.

Photograph copyright is covered under The Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 & if you are not sure who owns the copyright to your photo or image then we strongly recommend that you find out before sending your photos or images. Where it is clear that copyright is being infringed then Photo Effex will not undertake the work.
