(hereinafter "Provider") and the respective client (hereinafter "Client").
(2) These Terms apply exclusively to consumers within the meaning of § 13 of the German Civil Code (BGB).
(3) Any terms of the Client that deviate from, conflict with, or supplement these Terms do not become part of the contract unless the Provider expressly agrees to them in writing.
(1) The Provider provides videography services for weddings and comparable private occasions. The specific scope of services depends on the booked package or individual agreement, in particular:
(2) The precise scope of the booked services, the coverage period, and any individual arrangements result from the Provider's offer or order confirmation, as well as from the booking form completed by the Client (package, date, time, venue, add-ons, price).
(3) The Provider generally performs the agreed service personally. The Provider reserves the right to use subcontractors or additional personnel (e.g. second videographer, drone pilot) for parts of the service and will inform the Client upon request.
(4) The Provider owes careful and professional documentation of the wedding day at its own artistic discretion (framing, editing, color grading, music selection, filming technique). No claim exists to specific shots, scenes, or a particular artistic execution unless expressly agreed. The Client acknowledges the Provider's artistic discretion; complaints based solely on style, chosen filming locations, or equipment used are excluded.
(5) Delays in the course of the wedding that are outside the Provider's control (e.g. late start, weather, late arrival of guests or other vendors) are not the Provider's responsibility and count as regular working time within the booked time window.
(1) The presentation of services on jermaik.com does not constitute a binding offer by the Provider, but a non-binding invitation for the Client to submit a request via the inquiry form or by email.
(2) By submitting the inquiry form, the Client makes a non-binding request; no contract is formed at this stage.
(3) The Provider will then prepare a written (text-form) offer stating the specific services, date, and price. This offer is valid for 10 business days.
(4) If the Client accepts the offer within this period (e.g. by signature, email confirmation, or payment of the deposit per § 5), a binding contract is formed. If acceptance occurs after this period, it is treated as a new offer, which the Provider may accept by way of order confirmation or invoice.
(5) The Provider retains the contract text. The Client receives the order confirmation and these Terms in text form.
(1) The agreed wedding date is binding for both parties. The date is only reserved once the contract is formed per § 3 and — if agreed — the deposit per § 5 has been received on time.
(2) If the actual time on site exceeds the booked time window for reasons attributable to the Client, the Provider may charge €90 for each additional half hour or part thereof, unless a longer time window or flat rate was agreed in advance.
(1) The prices stated in the offer or order confirmation apply. All prices are final prices; pursuant to § 19 of the German VAT Act (small business regulation), no VAT is charged.
(2) Deposit: To bindingly reserve the date, a deposit of 20% of the agreed total price is due, payable within 7 days of contract formation. The date is only considered reserved once payment has been received.
(3) Final payment: due no later than 14 days before the wedding date.
(4) If the deposit is not paid on time, the Provider is entitled to withdraw from the contract and offer the date to another client.
(5) Travel costs: For travel beyond 40 km from the Provider's location, travel costs of €0.40/km apply, or alternatively the cost of train/flight plus any necessary transfers. If travel the day before or an overnight stay is required due to distance or a late finish, the Client bears the cost of reasonable accommodation, unless otherwise agreed.
(6) Meals: For assignments longer than 6 hours, the Client provides the Provider (and any additional personnel deployed) with reasonable meals or reimburses the corresponding costs.
(7) Additional services requested by the Client on site that were not agreed in advance will be charged separately based on time and effort, unless otherwise agreed.
(1) The Client ensures the Provider has unobstructed access to the relevant locations (venue, premises) on the wedding day, and informs the Provider in good time of the schedule, on-site contact persons, and relevant program items.
(2) If filming at certain locations (e.g. churches, wedding venues) requires a filming permit or is subject to restrictions (e.g. no-flash rule, fixed camera positions), it is the Client's responsibility to clarify this in good time and inform the Provider.
(3) The use of drone footage is subject to applicable aviation law as well as any restrictions of the respective venue; the Provider reserves the right to decline drone footage where legal or safety concerns apply.
(1) The booked films will be completed within 10 weeks of the wedding date, unless otherwise agreed.
(2) Delivery is electronic (e.g. via a download link) in common, widely playable video formats. No claim exists to the unedited raw footage or project-specific edit files unless expressly agreed separately.
The image and film material produced (including intermediate results) remains the property of the Provider until the agreed total price has been paid in full.
(1) The Provider is and remains the author of the films produced within the meaning of the German Copyright Act (UrhG).
(2) Upon full payment, the Client receives a simple, temporally and spatially unrestricted right of use for private, non-commercial use of the delivered films (e.g. private viewing, sharing with family and friends, posting in a private capacity on the Client's own social media profiles).
(3) Commercial use, further processing, or distribution to third parties for commercial purposes requires the Provider's prior written consent.
(4) Self-promotion by the Provider: The Provider may only use excerpts, stills, or complete films for self-promotion purposes (portfolio on jermaik.com, social media, competition entries) with the Client's prior consent. This consent is requested separately and explicitly during the booking process (Yes/No selection).
Declining is possible, but may result in a reasonable surcharge on the agreed total price, as the use for self-promotion is factored into the calculation of the standard price; in that case, the amount is agreed individually with the Client. Consent given may be withdrawn at any time with future effect, in text form.
(1) If the Client cancels the booking or reschedules the date, the following applies:
(2) Regardless of para. (1), in the event of termination by the Client, the Provider may claim reasonable compensation for expenses already incurred (e.g. preparation, reserved time, declined alternative bookings), unless the Client proves that the actual damage was lower.
(3) Rescheduling to another date is possible subject to the Provider's availability; payments already made will be credited toward the new date.
(4) The provisions in paras. (1)–(3) apply without prejudice to the statutory right of withdrawal set out in the separate Right of Withdrawal notice.
(1) If the Provider is prevented from performing the service on the agreed date for reasons beyond its control (e.g. sudden illness, accident, force majeure), the Provider will make every reasonable effort to arrange an equivalent replacement from its network.
(2) If no replacement solution is possible, the Client will be informed without delay and any payments already made will be refunded in full. Further claims for damages by the Client are excluded in this case, unless the Provider is guilty of intent or gross negligence.
(1) The Provider is liable without limitation for damages arising from injury to life, body, or health caused by an intentional or negligent breach of duty, as well as for other damages caused by an intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty or fraudulent intent on the part of the Provider.
(2) In the event of a slightly negligent breach of material contractual obligations ("cardinal obligations") — the fulfillment of which makes proper performance of the contract possible in the first place and on whose observance the Client may regularly rely — the Provider's liability is limited to compensation for foreseeable, typically occurring damage.
(3) Otherwise, the Provider's liability for slightly negligent breaches of duty as well as for indirect and consequential damages is excluded, to the extent permitted by law.
(4) For the loss of image and film material due to technical failure (e.g. defective storage media), the Provider is liable only within the scope of paras. (1)–(3); the Provider backs up material promptly after filming to at least two independent storage locations in order to minimize this risk.
(5) The Client bears the risk for circumstances outside the Provider's control (e.g. weather, force majeure, non-appearance of third parties, misconduct by guests or other vendors).
(1) The Client may only set off claims that are undisputed or have been finally and bindingly established by a court.
(2) Assignment of claims arising from this contract to third parties requires the Provider's prior written consent.
Information on the processing of personal data in connection with the initiation and performance of the contract can be found in the Privacy Policy at jermaik.com/impressum.
Consumers have a statutory right of withdrawal in accordance with the separate Right of Withdrawal notice, which is provided to the Client at the time the contract is formed.
(1) Amendments or additions to this contract require text form; individual agreements between the parties take precedence over these Terms.
(2) The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. For consumers, this applies only to the extent that the protection granted by mandatory provisions of the law of the country of the consumer's habitual residence is not thereby withdrawn.
(3) Place of performance is Niederbreitbach, Germany. Place of jurisdiction, to the extent legally permissible, is Koblenz, Germany.
(4) The EU Commission provides a platform for online dispute resolution (ODR), available at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr. The Provider is not obliged and not willing to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.
(5) Should individual provisions of these Terms be or become invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions remains unaffected.
