Terms of Service

Copyright

The copyright of the content on this website (text, photographs, designs, etc.) belongs to Avenue A Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "our company") and is protected by copyright law.

In principle, it is prohibited by law to copy, reproduce, modify, edit, translate, etc. these copyrighted works without the permission of the copyright holder. Commercial use of the photographs on this site is strictly prohibited.

Photos collected using a system that allows users to select and download photos in PDF format are permitted to be used "only for discussion purposes" to consider using our services. (Please note that commercial use of downloaded photo data is prohibited by law.)

Regarding link settings

• Links to our website, http://ave-a.com, can be set up from any page by individuals or organizations. However, we do not permit links from sites that slander or cause harm to our company, other companies, individuals, or third parties.
• We do not permit links that alter the design, etc. of this website.

Regarding valuables and expensive items

We will handle the photographed items with care and discretion, but in the unlikely event of loss, damage, theft, or other accidents, we will not take any responsibility, so when photographing or processing images of valuable or expensive items, we ask that you bring them in, be present during the shoot, and take them out. Please also manage the items during the shoot.

Requests for preventing accidents in the studio

All equipment in the studio is carefully secured to prevent falling accidents, and we try to keep cords from running on the floor as much as possible. However, when moving around the studio or checking images, please help us prevent accidents by not touching the set or filming/lighting equipment.

Requests when sending the product to be photographed to our company and taking the photo without your presence

Please send a clear description of the product's orientation, the angle you would like to photograph it from, the points you would like to show, cropping (square, portrait, etc.), and size to be used (number of pixels for web, printing size in mm for print) along with the product.

In addition, for products such as small electronic components or accessories, which may be difficult to distinguish between top and bottom, front and back, and left and right due to their characteristics, please also attach an enlarged diagram that shows the top and bottom, front and back, and left and right.

Additional fees will be charged for re-photographing or re-processing the images. Since the lighting and angle of multiple products may change when photographing multiple products at the same time, please give us clear instructions if you are unable to be present during the photo shoot.

If you wish to check online, please

If you would like to check the images remotely via email, LINE, etc., please reply promptly to the confirmation. The shooting fee (including studio fee) quoted in the quotation is the price if you reply promptly.

If work is halted due to lack of response, the fee for the shoot (including studio fee) will be 25,000 yen x the number of hours taken. For example, even if the estimated cost was 50,000 yen, if it took 6 hours due to lack of response, the fee would be 25,000 yen x 6 hours = 150,000 yen, so please respond promptly to the confirmation of the images. As long as you confirm and reply promptly, the fee will be 50,000 yen as estimated.

Re-shooting after delivery

We process images according to your order based on the data that you have confirmed and approved at the time of shooting. If there is an error in the photo after delivery, we will charge an additional fee for re-shooting, so please check the photos carefully.

If you notice anything, please let us know right away

If you notice something during a shoot, please don't hesitate to let us know right then and there. For example, if you try to change the background or the direction or angle after fixing the subject, you will have to disassemble the set, reassemble it, and fix the subject, which will take more than twice the time and keep you tied up for a long time.

Points to note when shooting models and in-house studios

Please plan carefully as cancellation fees and actual expenses will be charged for shoots that use models, hair and makeup artists, stylists, house studios, studio staffing, and shoots that require actual expenses for preparation before the shoot.

Why we ask about the medium and purpose of the photos when placing an order

Under copyright law, the use of photographs for purposes other than those for which they were ordered requires the consent of the copyright holder.

Usually, additional charges will be incurred if the number of uses increases. In addition to the cost issue, we deliver the data in the most optimal form for the purpose, so if it is used for a different purpose, the photo will not be displayed beautifully due to issues with the RGB color gamut, CMYK color gamut, and data size. Therefore, when we receive an order, we ask about the medium and purpose of use.

Please respect the portrait rights of models

Regarding photos taken using models, not only are they prohibited from being used for any other purpose, but they cannot be used without permission beyond the declared advertising use period. (The use of portrait rights in model photography is generally contracted for a usage period of three months. The cost varies depending on the period.)

We are not responsible for any violations, so please make sure to properly report to the model agency from the beginning. If you need an extension, please be sure to contact us. There will be a fee for the extension. Please note that the model has the right to refuse the extended use.
