Andre Blunt Photography

Terms of Service

Last updated: 11 July 2026

These terms cover how you book a session with Andre Blunt Photography, what you get, and how we handle your images and your prints. We have tried to keep them plain. Nothing here takes away the statutory rights you have as a consumer under Hungarian and EU law. If anything is unclear, write to us at photo@andreblunt.com and we will explain before you commit to anything.

1. Who we are and what these terms cover

Andre Blunt Photography is the photography practice of Andre Blunt Kft(“we”, “us”, “our”), a company registered in Hungary. These terms apply to photography sessions, commissions, client galleries, and print sales arranged through photo.andreblunt.com or directly with us.

• Company: Andre Blunt Kft
• Registered address: József körút 69. Fsz. 1. ajtó, 1085 Budapest, Hungary
• Company registration number: 01-09-451918
• EU VAT number: HU32967656
• Contact: photo@andreblunt.com · +36 70 329 0754

By booking a session or acquiring a print, you agree to these terms. They sit alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle your personal data.

These terms are published in English. A Hungarian-language version is available on request, and if you are a consumer in Hungary the mandatory rules of Hungarian consumer law protect you whichever language you read.

2. Enquiries and booking

Everything starts with an enquiry through the form on the site, which reaches us by email. There is no third-party booking platform.

• You send us an enquiry with what you have in mind.
• We reply, talk it through, and scope the session with you: what we will shoot, when, where, how long, and what you receive.
• We confirm the agreed scope and fee in writing (by email is fine).
• A booking is confirmed only once you have paid the retainer (see section 3). Until then, no date is held and nothing is promised.

A quote or a held conversation is not a confirmed booking. Dates are reserved on a first-paid basis, so a slot stays open to others until your retainer is in. Because you book online or by email, your booking is a distance contract, and your statutory right to withdraw is explained in section 5.

3. Fees, deposits, and retainers

Starting prices are shown on the Sessions page as indicative figures in euros (for example, from about €500 for the BLVNT Portrait through to €2,500 for BLVNT Commercial). Your exact fee depends on the scope we agree. For clients in Hungary we confirm it in Hungarian forint (HUF), including 27% VAT where it is due, in writing before you book. The figure we confirm is the figure you pay for the agreed package.

• Currency and VAT. Sessions shot in Budapest are invoiced in HUF, with 27% Hungarian VAT included where it is due. We tell you the full VAT-inclusive amount before you pay.
• Invoicing. We invoice you directly. Payment is handled through our own invoicing, not a booking platform.
• Retainer to confirm. A booking is confirmed when you pay a retainer of 50% of the agreed fee, unless we agree otherwise in writing. The retainer is a proportionate advance that covers the date we hold for you and the preparation we begin on your behalf. It is not a penalty, and it is set as a fair pre-estimate of those costs.
• Balance. The remaining balance is due on or before the session date, unless we agree a different schedule in writing. We deliver final images once the fee is paid in full.
• If your plans change. How the retainer and any balance are treated if you cancel, reschedule, or do not attend is set out in section 4, and your statutory withdrawal rights are in section 5. We do not charge you the whole fee for a session we did not shoot.

4. Cancellation, rescheduling, and no-show

Life happens, and we will always try to be reasonable. These are the defaults, and none of them take away your statutory rights in section 5 or your mandatory consumer rights.

• Rescheduling by you. If you give us at least 7 days’ notice, we move your session once to a new mutually agreed date at no extra charge, and your retainer carries over. A second reschedule, or a change inside 7 days, may require a new retainer to cover the date we held.
• Cancelling by you. We keep the retainer, which is a proportionate pre-estimate of the cost of holding your date and the preparation we had begun. If our actual reserved-date and preparation costs are clearly lower than the retainer, we refund the difference. Any balance you paid above the retainer is refunded in full. We do not charge you the rest of the fee for a session we did not shoot.
• No-show. If you do not attend and have not told us in advance, the retainer is forfeited to cover the held date and the preparation. We do not charge the remaining balance for a session that did not happen.
• Cancelling or rescheduling by us. If we ever have to cancel or move a session (illness, equipment failure, or the events in section 10), we offer you the earliest alternative date. If we cannot deliver and no alternative works, we refund everything you have paid, including the retainer.

5. Your right to withdraw (distance contracts)

Because you book and buy from us online or by email, without meeting us in person first, these are distance contracts under Hungarian Government Decree 45/2014 (II.26.), which implements the EU Consumer Rights Directive. As a consumer you have a statutory right to withdraw within 14 days, with some exceptions that fit the way we work. Here is how it applies.

• Sessions on a set date. A photography session booked for a specific date or period is a date-specific leisure service. Under §29(1)(l) of the Decree, the 14-day withdrawal right does not apply to services tied to a specific date or period of performance. Your cancellation and reschedule rights in section 4 apply instead.
• Preparation that starts before the 14 days pass. If you ask us to begin preparing your session (planning, scheduling, reserving crew or location) before the 14-day period ends, we will ask for your express request to start early and your acknowledgment that you lose the withdrawal right once we have fully performed (§29(1)(a)). If you withdraw after we have started but before we finish, you pay a proportionate amount for the work already done.
• Made-to-order and personalised prints. Prints produced to your order, or personalised to your specification, are exempt from the 14-day withdrawal right under §29(1)(c), because they are made for you. We confirm this before you order.
• Stock edition prints. If you buy an existing signed edition print that is not personalised or made to your specification, your 14-day withdrawal right applies. You can withdraw within 14 days of receiving it, using the notice below, and we refund you including standard delivery. Return shipping is yours unless we agree otherwise.
• How to withdraw. Tell us in a clear statement (an email to photo@andreblunt.com is fine) or use the model form below.

6. The shoot, and what we need from you

A good session is a collaboration. To make it work:

• Please arrive on time and ready. If hair, makeup, or wardrobe are part of your session, we will tell you what to bring.
• Tell us in advance about anything that affects the shoot: access, permits for a location, guests, or specific shots you must have.
• Permissions and permits. If your shoot needs permission to use a location or venue, or the consent of other people who appear in it, you are responsible for arranging that unless we have agreed to handle it.
• Conduct and safety. We may pause or end a session if it becomes unsafe or if anyone present behaves abusively. If we end a session for these reasons, the retainer covers the held date and preparation and is not refunded, but no further fee is due for the part we did not shoot.
• Creative approach. We shoot in our own editorial style. We will listen closely to your brief, but the direction, selection, and finishing of the images are ours as the photographer. We do not hand over unedited files or every frame taken.

7. Delivery and your client gallery

We deliver your finished images through our own client-gallery platform, not a third-party service.

• Turnaround. We will give you an expected delivery window when we book. Editorial and larger work take longer than a portrait sitting.
• How you receive them. You get a private gallery you can sign in to, view, select from where the session calls for it, and download in the resolution stated for your session.
• How long it stays up. Your gallery stays online for 6 months from delivery. Please download and back up your files within that window. After it, the gallery is archived, and re-activating it later may carry a small fee.
• Backups. We keep our own copies as good practice, but we are not your archive. Once you have your files, keeping them safe is your responsibility. We keep invoice records for longer for tax-law reasons, which our Privacy Policy explains.
• Selections. Where your session includes a set number of finished images, additional images from the same session can usually be finished for an added fee.

8. Image rights and licensing

This is the part people care about most, so we keep it clear.

• Copyright stays with the photographer. Andre Blunt Kft, as the author, holds the copyright in all images from the session. Paying for a session does not transfer copyright.
• What you get by default: a personal-use licence. Unless we agree otherwise in writing, your delivered images come with a licence to use them for personal, non-commercial purposes: prints for yourself, sharing on your personal social media, and personal keepsakes. Please do not edit, re-crop, apply filters to, or remove any signature from the images, as they are delivered as finished work.
• Commercial and brand use is licensed separately. If you, or a business, want to use the images to advertise, promote, sell, or brand anything, that is a commercial usage licence, agreed and priced in writing before use. Some of our sessions, such as commercial commissions, include a defined usage licence in their scope; that licence is what governs, and it will be set out for you.
• Our own use of your images (opt-in). We would love to show your images in our portfolio, on our website and social channels, in submissions, and in our marketing. Where you are recognisable, we will only do this with your specific written consent, given through a model release or a clear opt-in. Consent is yours to give or refuse, it does not change your price, and you can withdraw it later for future use. Without your consent we will not use recognisable images of you to promote the practice. We may still use non-identifiable detail shots (hands, textures, the setting) to show our craft.
• Model release. Where we use recognisable images of you, we will ask you to sign a separate model release covering how those images may be used. That release, once signed, records your consent and sits alongside these terms. This reflects your right to your own image and likeness under Hungarian law (Ptk. 2:48).
• Third parties. You may not sub-license, sell, or pass our images to a third party (an agency, a brand, a stock library) without our written agreement.

9. Prints (the Print Room)

We also sell signed, limited-edition fine-art prints through the Print Room on the site, and we can make prints of your own session on request.

• What you pay and delivery. Each print listing shows the price. At checkout we show the total price including delivery before you confirm. We tell you the expected delivery time; if we ever expect it to take longer than 30 days, we will agree a new date with you.
• Limited editions. Edition prints are signed, numbered, and closed at the stated edition size. Once an edition sells out, it is gone. A signed certificate of authenticity closes each edition sale.
• Made-to-order and personalised prints. Prints produced to your order on archival materials, and any print personalised to your specification, are made for you. Under section 5 these are exempt from the 14-day withdrawal right, and the sale is final once production has started, except where the print arrives damaged or faulty.
• Stock edition prints. If you buy an existing edition print that is not personalised or made to your specification, you keep the 14-day withdrawal right in section 5.
• If a print arrives damaged. Please tell us within 7 days with photos so we can put it right quickly by repair, replacement, or refund. This is a request that helps us help you. It does not cut down your statutory two-year warranty rights (kellékszavatosság) under Hungarian law, which are unaffected.
• Copyright. Buying a print does not transfer copyright or grant any reproduction or commercial-use rights. The licensing rules in section 8 still apply.
• Complaints. If something is wrong with a print or your order, contact us at photo@andreblunt.com and we will handle it. You can also use the consumer routes in section 13.

10. Liability and events beyond our control

We take the work seriously and carry ourselves professionally. Some limits still need saying plainly.

• Our liability. If we get something wrong, our aim is to put it right by re-shooting the session, or refunding the fee you paid for the affected session or print. We are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, such as lost profit or a missed onward opportunity.
• For consumers. Nothing here excludes or limits our liability for foreseeable direct loss caused by our own defective performance where mandatory Hungarian law does not allow it to be excluded. The limit above applies to indirect and consequential loss only.
• What this never limits. Nothing in these terms limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot be limited under Hungarian law. If you are a consumer, your mandatory consumer rights are not affected by anything here.
• Events beyond our control (force majeure). Neither of us is responsible for failing to perform because of events outside reasonable control: illness, accident, extreme weather, strikes, power or network failure, or acts of a public authority. If such an event stops a session, section 4 applies: we reschedule, or we refund what you paid.

11. Privacy and your data

How we collect and handle your personal data is set out in our Privacy Policy. In short: we keep collection to a minimum, we host our client galleries ourselves on infrastructure in the EU, we do not sell your data, we keep invoice records for the period Hungarian accounting law requires, and you have full rights over your data under the GDPR, including the right to complain to the Hungarian authority (NAIH). Please read that policy together with these terms.

12. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time, for example if our services or providers change. The version published on the site at the time you book is the one that applies to that booking. We will post the current version here and update the date. Significant changes will be made clearly visible.

13. Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of Hungary. If we cannot resolve a disagreement between us directly, and you are not a consumer, it will be settled by the competent courts of Budapest, Hungary.

If you are a consumer, this does not take away the protection of the mandatory rules of the country where you live, and you keep the right to bring proceedings as your local law allows. If you are in Hungary, you can contact the Budapest Conciliation Board (Budapesti Békéltető Testület) for out-of-court consumer dispute resolution; as a trader we are required to cooperate with the conciliation board procedure under the Consumer Protection Act (Fgytv). We would always rather you came to us first at photo@andreblunt.com so we can put things right.
