General Terms and Conditions

0. Definitions

• Supplier: Luca Bertone (Atelier71).
• Client: Person or entity requesting services.
• Subject: Object, person, or project of the service.
• Estimate: Document defining services and costs.
• Order Confirmation: Acceptance of the estimate.

1. Validity and Prevalence

Every assignment is governed by the relevant Estimate. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, these Conditions prevail over any purchase conditions of the Client and are considered fully accepted upon confirmation of the estimate. Validity of prices expires on the deadline indicated in the estimate. Specific agreements must be established prior to the issuance of the estimate.

2. Formation of Contract

The contract is finalized upon Order Confirmation. This occurs in writing or through implied conduct, such as:

• Verbal or telephone acceptance;
• Payment of a deposit;
• Making the Subject available for the execution of the service.

The execution of the service or absence of written objections within 24 hours of receiving the estimate is equivalent to acceptance.

3. Extra Services

Additional services or derogations granted after acceptance (even if free of charge) do not constitute a precedent. Such requests involving unforeseen technical or logistical burdens may be invoiced separately following communication to the Client.

4. Cancellations

Cancellations or rescheduling must be received at least 3 business days (72 hours) in advance. In case of shorter notice, or if execution is prevented by the Client’s default, 50% of the estimate value will be charged.

5. Copyright

Luca Bertone remains the sole owner of all copyrights. The author reserves the exclusive right to use the material for professional promotion and to publish it in editorial works and books. The Client guarantees to have obtained all necessary authorizations (Property/Model Release), indemnifying the author against third-party claims.

6. Usage License

The license is limited exclusively to the purposes agreed upon in the estimate. The Client does not acquire ownership of the files or the copyright. Transfer to third parties or sub-licensing without prior written consent is prohibited.

7. Delivery and Retention

Material is delivered via a dedicated link. Files remain available for download for 14 days from the delivery email containing the link. After this period, retention on the servers is not guaranteed.

8. Prices and VAT

Prices are net compensation. Should Luca Bertone become subject to VAT by law, the tax will be applied in addition to the list prices and will be the responsibility of the Client.

9. Law and Jurisdiction

• Governing Law: Swiss Law.
• Reference Language: Italian.
• Jurisdiction: The Justice of the Peace in Torricella and the Court of Lugano, Switzerland, shall have exclusive jurisdiction.
