Previous versions of these conditions.
Most of my photography and video works are shared for free and cost a lot in time and money. You may think that getting and using a photograph from time to time doesn't cost much, but that given photograph exists because thousands other photographs have been taken, worked and stored too... Yet after summing all the micro costs, it is all too demanding to be considered as only casual "voluntary work".
However I want the "spontaneous" and "social" parts to remain something I share for free.
This "Conditions of use" text sometimes gets updates, when there are things to correct or to precise, but the idea of what I bring and what I expect in return has never really changed since the beginning.
What I bring in
What I expect from you is
Illustration od "What is free and what is not":
All rights reserved. Which means that you have to ask for my agreement and/or conditions before re/using anything. ( #How to contact me )
Note: sharing through links/URLs (i.e.: link to a YouTube video or to a Facebook album) is of course always allowed. "Usage" is when you download/copy a work and re-use it in your own work or re-upload it to a different channel/platform.
Some of my works are the results of collaborations. I always credit the people I collaborated with (whenever possible). These persons may have their own conditions regarding the use of such works. You need the agreement of all, not just one.
Sometimes, these persons let me take the decisions in this matter.
Photographees have some rights too, this page is not about those but you need to have their agreement as well. (We should evaluate if it is easier that you contact them or the I do it.)
The persons or organisations contained in the following list, as well as my works including them, may not benefit of any form of "Exceptions". "General conditions" as described in this document apply.(Because I cannot grant extra rights to people who denied my own rights, possibly with rude words or attitudes):
Entity (physical or moral) or group | Conditions to be removed from exclusion list |
Gazetta Tango | Payment of 123,95 EUR (reproduction without agreement) + 123,95 EUR (reproduction without signature/credits) + 123,95 () , soit 371,85 EUR. Based on http://www.sofam.be/dbfiles/mfile/800/807/SAC194_2016_FR_Tarif_Sofam_WEB.pdf and I do not multiply by 1.5 and 3 only because these rules were not part of the conditions at that time.) |
Claire Deville | I don't know precisely... Excuses or a constructive conversation could be a good start... Learn to respect people.... But, at this point, it seems like re-building trust would be quite complex. |
Private usage is accepted, if
This exception only applies to photography photographs (not videos nor texts nor photographs from completely different contexts).
As it is where I started photography:
If the following conditions are not met, usage does not benefit from this exception, then contact me and ask.
If the following conditions are not met, usage does not benefit from this exception, then contact me and ask.
If I have granted you exceptional free or cheap use of some of my works once, it does not mean that it is permanent
If you are not sure, feel free to ask #How to contact me.
Never shorten the address to https://thomasconte.net/ unless I ask so! Pages/sections need to remain independent!
https://thomasconte.net/photography/ needs to appear along with the works in a readable way and it should be made clear that you credit me for my work.
Some suggestions:
https://thomasconte.net/tango/ needs to appear along with the works in a readable way and it should be made clear that you credit me for my work.
Some suggestions:
If, in the context of tango, you use one of my works on Facebook, you may also tag page: TC Tango photos, videos, etc. , but this page is obsolete and only contains works until September 2022.
To contact me, you may use this web site's contact form or any other mean you know.
If these conditions are not followed, I retain that right to claim the price that I would have asked for each work in addition to compensations. (Inspired but adapted from SOFAM's http://www.sofam.be/dbfiles/mfile/800/807/SAC194_2016_FR_Tarif_Sofam_WEB.pdf )
