After the exclusivity period, indicated in the Licence to Use has expired, James Lightbown shall be entitled to use the Photograph(s) for any purpose.

6. (a) Risk in and responsibility for any original transparencies or prints passes to the Client from the time they are received until their safe return. The Client shall immediately inform James Lightbown in writing of any loss or misuse of, or damage to the pictures while in the Client's possession or that of any third party. If a picture is not returned within four weeks of the date for return then James Lightbown may in his sole discretion presume it to be lost.(b) The Client shall be liable to pay compensation to James Lightbown in respect of each picture lost or damaged. Payment of compensation does not give rise to any rights in any picture. Compensation levels for the pictures are available from James Lightbown upon request. These levels are a genuine pre- estimate of the loss which would be suffered if such a picture were to be lost or damaged. The Client is urged to request these figures and to take out insurance cover to cover the total value of the pictures delivered.

7. (a) Once the Client has made a booking for a specific time and date, James Lightbown will not accept any other work from other clients for those times and dates.

(b) As a result, once a booking is made, if it is subsequently cancelled, a cancellation fee will be charged to the client according to the following schedule. When a client cancels a booking within two weeks of any confirmed date, a fee of 50% of the booked time rate will be charged. When a client cancels photography within one weeks of any confirmed date, a fee of 100% of the booked time rate will be charged. In addition to this cancellation fee, the client will be charged for any expenses already incurred by James Lightbown.

8. (a) Until James Lightbown has invoiced the reproduction fee neither party is committed to grant or acquire any reproduction rights in any picture. After a fee has been agreed and an invoice issued there is a firm and binding contract whereby James Lightbown is committed to grant reproduction rights and the Client to acquire them. If after such invoicing but before payment the Client requests cancellation of the reproduction rights James Lightbown may in his discretion cancel subject to the Client paying a cancellation fee.

(b) The Client's right to reproduce a picture arises only when James Lightbown's invoice relating to the granting of such right is fully paid (including interest charges levied on late payment of the invoice or invoices). Any reproduction before payment of the invoice constitutes an infringement of rights and a breach of this Agreement entitling James Lightbown to rescind the Agreement and rendering the Client liable for the payment of damages.(c) James Lightbown’s invoice shall be paid within 28 days of issue. In the event of payment not being made within the 28 day period any offered discount will be cancelled and the full amount is liable.(d) If payment is not made in accordance with (a) above then James Lightbown may rescind this Agreement and recover damages, or, at his option, may exercise his statutory right to interest under the Late Payment Of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998.(e) If any invoice issued to the Client is not paid by the Due Date, then all unpaid invoices issued to the Client become due of immediate effect, even if it is less than 28 days from the issue date, and that James Lightbown may consider these invoices as overdue when pursuing legal action for the recovery of said debts.(f) A fee of £20 will be made for each account reminder, duplicate invoice, or any other paperwork, correspondence or phone calls involved with the pursual of a debt. This fee is non-refundable, and represents the additional time spent pursuing overdue invoices.(g) As a guide to charges that will be made to an overdue invoice. Duplicate Invoices will be sent out monthly. This guide is shown to clarify James Lightbown 's charges for late payment, and publication of them does not constitute a right to pay an invoice after the Due Date.(h) James Lightbown reserves the right to suspend ongoing services, such as (but not limited to) the Downloadable Web Page or other distribution of pictures, once any invoice issued to a Client becomes overdue, and also reserves the right to inform the reason of this to third parties to whom this suspension of service affects.
