Terms of purchase
Terms of contract for purchases from Johnér Bildbyrå AB (hereinafter "Bildbyrån"). For definitions and concepts relating to these terms and conditions, see point 10. Where the person entering into this agreement does so as a representative of his employer or other legal entity, this agreement applies both to that person and to the person's employer, defined below as the Product user. Should the person's employment be terminated, only the Product User, not the person, has the right to continue using the Product purchased under this agreement. Products provided by Bildbyrån may only be used with the authorisation of Bildbyrån. The right to use the product is agreed at the time of ordering and is specified in the Confirmation. The Confirmation is part of these terms and conditions and all references to the terms and conditions include the Confirmation. Use of the Product without such authorisation constitutes not only a breach of this Agreement but also an infringement of copyright, which may result in criminal liability. When the Product is downloaded digitally, an agreement is entered into with Bildbyrån according to the terms and conditions that are online at www.johner.com/en_US/terms/eula.php at the time of each download. Downloading the Product constitutes acceptance of these terms and conditions by You/Licensee. If you are an intermediary (such as, but not limited to, an advertising, design or web agency), the Product may only be used for a Licence Owner, who agrees to be bound by the terms of this agreement. The licence owner is specified at the time of download and is the owner of the publishing rights. By accepting this agreement, you certify that your Licensee agrees to the terms of this agreement. 1. Use of Products The full right under these terms and conditions to use the Product is acquired by ordering the Product from Bildbyrån and receiving Confirmation from Bildbyrån and payment. When ordering, the Product must be specified and appear in the Confirmation. Use of the Product may begin after Confirmation has been received, but before payment has been made. The ordered Product may then be used in accordance with this agreement unless otherwise clearly stated in the Confirmation. All rights of use are non-exclusive unless otherwise clearly stated in the Confirmation. Products may be available to a maximum of ten (10) people unless otherwise agreed at the time of ordering and stated in the Confirmation. Products may only be published in accordance with the publicity rules of the press. Products may not be edited and/or manipulated so as to violate the model. Nor may products with models be published in contexts that may be perceived as offensive to the model. Particular care should be taken when publishing in so-called sensitive contexts concerning, for example, but not limited to, sex, politics, medicine, dating, addiction, mental illness and physical or mental disability. In such sensitive publications, it must be clearly stated that the person(s) depicted have nothing to do with the article/context, for example as a line of text in the published product. What is perceived as offensive can be difficult to determine in some cases. If you are unsure about how to use the Product, please contact us for advice and, if necessary, obtain specific permission from the model. When electronically publishing the Product to e.g. the internet, screen savers, electronic postcards or newsletters, the Product must not be made available in a way that appears to third parties to be free to copy, download, extract or redistribute and publish with a sender other than the licensee. In accordance with copyright law, the name of the photographer/photo agency shall, as far as possible, be stated when publishing or otherwise using the Product. Subject to the above, Products may not be used in any commercial context where the Product constitutes a significant part of the sales value of the final product, e.g. but not limited to, use of Products for screen savers, postcards or posters. Furthermore, Products may not be used for product packaging in excess of 100,000 copies. For more information regarding this, please contact Bildbyrån on 08-644 83 30 or info@johner.se. 2. Right of use After payment, the licence holder is only entitled to publish the Product and has no commercial right to resell or transfer the Product to third parties. 3. Cancellation If the Product is cancelled within 30 days of the order date, the Product user is obliged to pay only half of the invoiced cost of the Product use, provided that the Product has not been published. In case of later cancellation, there is no right to deduct the agreed Product cost. 4. Costs and payment The cost of the Product use including delivery and handling costs is stated in the Confirmation from Bildbyrån. If the user chooses to split the payment of the Product, the user accepts responsibility for the total amount of the order for the entire period. Payment terms for the Confirmation are 20 days net unless otherwise agreed. In case of late payment, penalty interest will be charged at 8% above the applicable discount rate, as well as the statutory reminder fee. 5. Limitation of liability Bildbyrån is entitled to grant rights of use to Products published on Bildbyrån's website from the respective copyright holder. According to Swedish law, the Products made available via Bildbyrån's website do not infringe the intellectual property rights of others. Bildbyrån accepts no responsibility for Products that are cropped, retouched or in any other way changed from the appearance of the Product on delivery to the Product user. When using Products in sensitive contexts according to paragraph 1, which lack a special agreement with the model, the Product user undertakes to compensate any damage to Bildbyrån. Rights for Products are non-exclusive and any damages for Product users are not compensated by Bildbyrån. Bildbyrån's liability for damages is always limited to the total amount Bildbyrån has invoiced for the Product. The limitation of liability does not include Bildbyrån's obligation to fulfil the conditions of the GDPR with regard to the necessary permissions for persons depicted in the Product. 6. Penalty If the Product user uses/publishes the Product without confirmation being received or payment being made, or if the Product is otherwise used in a way that is unauthorised under this agreement or Confirmation, the Product user undertakes to pay Bildbyrån a penalty amounting to the greater of (a) ten times the amount that the Product use would have cost or (b) SEK 50,000. Unauthorised use also entitles Bildbyrån to cancel the agreement entered into with the Product User with immediate effect without refunding the invoiced amount. In the event that the Product User violates any of the other terms and conditions of the agreement, he or she is obliged to take corrective action as soon as he or she becomes aware of the breach. The Product User also undertakes to hold Bildbyrån harmless if the breach of conditions has resulted in financial damage to Bildbyrån, depicted models or property. 7. Digital processing It is the responsibility of the Product user to make any corrections to the digital Product that are required for the best final result when published. Bildbyrån does not provide any compensation for unsatisfactory results. 8. dispute Disputes arising out of this agreement or other related legal relationships shall be resolved in Swedish courts in accordance with Swedish law. 9.
