The information contained on the Service is provided for general information purposes only.
The Company assumes no responsibility for errors or omissions in the contents of the Service. The Company reserves the right to make additions, deletions or modifications to the contents on the Service at any time without prior notice.
To the maximum extent permitted by Belgian law, the Company shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential or special damages whatsoever arising out of or in connection with the use of, or inability to use, the Service or its contents, whether based on contract, tort (including negligence) or any other legal theory.
The Company does not warrant that the Service is free from viruses, malware or other harmful components, although reasonable measures are taken to keep the Service secure.
Nothing in this Disclaimer limits or excludes liability for matters which cannot lawfully be limited or excluded under Belgian law, including liability for fraud, intentional misconduct or gross negligence.
Photography and Copyright
All Photographs created by the Company are protected under Belgian and European copyright law, including Book XI of the Belgian Code of Economic Law and EU Directive 2001/29/EC (the "InfoSoc Directive").
The Company is and remains the sole copyright holder of all Photographs unless a written transfer agreement states otherwise. Purchase of a Photograph through the Service grants You a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence for personal, non-commercial use of the Photograph only.
Without the prior written permission of the Company, You may not:
- remove, obscure or alter any watermark, signature or copyright notice on a Photograph;
- resell, sublicense, distribute or publicly redistribute Photographs in any form;
- use Photographs for commercial purposes, including but not limited to advertising, sponsorship communications, brand publications, sales catalogues or stallion promotion;
- submit Photographs to competitions, magazines or media outlets without crediting the Company and obtaining prior consent;
- train artificial intelligence or machine-learning models on Photographs.
Riders, owners and breeders who wish to use Photographs for commercial purposes (including sponsor communications) should contact the Company for a separate commercial licence.
Image Rights and Subjects' Rights
Photographs taken at public equestrian events are created on the basis of the legitimate interest of the Company and the event organiser in documenting the sporting event, in accordance with Article XI.174 of the Belgian Code of Economic Law (right of image, portretrecht) and Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
By participating in or attending an event at which the Company is the official or authorised photographer, You acknowledge that photography may take place and that images may be made available for purchase through the Service.
If You appear in a Photograph and wish to:
- request that a specific Photograph be removed from the Service,
- object to the processing of Your personal data within the meaning of the GDPR,
- exercise any other right You hold under the GDPR (access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, objection),
please contact the Company at the address listed in the "Contact Us" section. Reasonable requests will be honoured promptly. The Company may refuse requests that conflict with overriding legitimate interests, ongoing legal claims, archival purposes in the public interest, or the rights of other parties.
For full information on how the Company processes personal data, please refer to the Privacy Policy.
E-commerce, Digital Content and Right of Withdrawal
When You purchase Photographs, prints, digital downloads or other products through the Service, the following applies, in accordance with Belgian consumer law and EU Directive 2011/83/EU on consumer rights.
Digital content (downloads). Under Article VI.53, 13° of the Belgian Code of Economic Law, the right of withdrawal does not apply to the supply of digital content not delivered on a tangible medium where performance has begun with the consumer's prior express consent and acknowledgement that the right of withdrawal is thereby lost. By placing an order for a digital download and confirming the relevant checkbox at checkout, You expressly consent to immediate performance and acknowledge that You waive Your 14-day right of withdrawal once the download is made available.
Physical products (prints). For physical prints and products delivered on a tangible medium, You have a 14-day right of withdrawal from the date of delivery, except for goods made to Your specifications or clearly personalised (Article VI.53, 3° of the Code of Economic Law). Most printed Photographs are produced specifically for the order and therefore fall within this exception; this is clearly indicated at the point of purchase.
Refunds and technical issues. In case of technical problems with downloads, defective prints or other order issues, please contact the Company within a reasonable period. The Company will provide a replacement, redelivery or refund in accordance with applicable law.
Pricing and VAT. Prices on the Service are shown including Belgian VAT for consumers, unless stated otherwise. For business customers within the European Union, intracommunal VAT rules apply where a valid VAT number is provided and verified through VIES; in such cases reverse charge is applied and a credit note may be issued.
Payment processing. Payments are processed by third-party providers (including Mollie and Stripe). The Company does not store full payment card details. The Company is not liable for technical failures or errors of these third-party providers, although every reasonable effort is made to ensure smooth payment processing.
