6. Ordering
6.1 Although you may order photographs/images (such as group photographs) from the Web Site after a graduation date, if you require individual portrait photographs, you must order a “Sitting”. A Sitting shall consist of an agreed number of photographs, involving you and/or individuals nominated by you. When booking a Sitting through this website, you must order the Sitting and an agreed number of photographs/images before 12 Noon (GMT) on the previous business day before the first day of the Graduation Ceremonies. For example; if your particular graduation is on a Friday, but your University/College commences its Graduation Ceremonies (of which yours forms part) on a previous day such as a Wednesday, the deadline would be 12 noon of the Tuesday before. . Bookings are given on a first come first served basis and are subject to availability and accordingly, early booking is advisable. You may notify us with any amendments to your order or your personal information by contacting us at info@lafayette.ie . We shall endeavour to reply to you within 24 hours during business hours. As we must make arrangements for accommodating the correct number of Sittings at the Ceremony, three days before the date of the Ceremony to which your booking relates, the provision of our services shall be deemed to have begun with your agreement on the date three days before the date of the Ceremony to which your booking relates and thereafter no cancellation may take place notwithstanding the Cooling Off Period hereinafter referred to.
6.2 When you order a Sitting, we will within 24 hours send you a Booking
Confirmation by e-mail that we have received your order/booking, detailing the
order and quoting a reference number. The Booking Confirmation will be deemed
complete and will be deemed for all purposes to have been effectively
communicated to you when we have sent it to you Booking Confirmation by Lafayette Photography does not preclude its right to cancel an order in the event that it finds
it is unable to fulfil the contract and is subject to your cooling off period
and cancellation terms explained in the Terms and Conditions of Sale.
All Bookings / orders that you place with us will be on the basis of acceptance
in accordance with the Terms and Conditions of Sale.
6.3 Your booking / order constitutes an offer to us for you to buy a Service
and/or Products. All orders are subject to acceptance by us, and we will be
deemed to have accepted such order when our photographer attends the graduation
service and is available to take the photographs in accordance with your
booking. The contract between us (“Contract”) will only be formed when our
photographer is so available.
6.4 The Contract will relate only to those Products which we have agreed and
have confirmed in the Booking Confirmation. We will not be obliged to supply
any other Products.
6.5 After the Sitting, we will advise you as soon as possible [via e-mail
and/or sms if a mobile number has been provided] that the photographs/images
taken at the Sitting are available for viewing on our website. (This is
typically in less than three working days following your ceremony, however
during peak times from late October to the end of December, this can take
longer.) If you do not receive such confirmation within that period, you should
contact us via your account on the Web Site, within 7 days of the Sitting.
Where the number of photographs taken exceeds the minimum number of photographs
that we have agreed with you that we would take at the Sitting, then you will
be given the facility of selecting which images you wish to be included as the
ordered photographs/images or to purchase additional images.
6.6 Where an Order is made for photographs without a Sitting,e.g. for award or group photographs shown on the website, or for additional photos from our archive, we will send you by e-mail an Order Confirmation, as opposed to a Booking Confirmation. The Order Confirmation will confirm that we have received your order, detailing the Number of Photographs/images you have ordered, estimated delivery charges and quoting a reference number. The Order Confirmation will be deemed complete and will be deemed for all purposes to have been effectively communicated to you when you are able to access it. In such cases without a Sitting, we will be deemed to have accepted your order and the contract between us will be formed when we send you an Order Confirmation. The sending of an Order Confirmation by Lafayette Photography does not preclude its right to cancel an order in the event that it finds it is unable to fulfil the contract and, is subject to your cooling off period and cancellation terms explained in these Terms and Conditions of Sale.
