SECTION C: SPECIFIC SERVICE CONDITIONS
The following conditions apply to analogue photo developing and digitisation services, and supplement the general terms depending on the customer type (B2B or B2C).
C.1. Analogue Photo Developing Service: Liability for the Shipping and Transport of Film Rolls
Applicable to all developing orders that include the transport of photographic material.
Carrier’s liability
Transport is handled by an external logistics company. In the event of any incident during transit (loss, misplacement, damage), liability lies with the carrier in accordance with its legal conditions.
AP Photo Industries, S.L. will provide the customer with the carrier’s details and tracking number so that they can exercise their rights.
Compensation for loss
If the carrier loses the material, AP Photo Industries, S.L. undertakes to replace the blank physical medium: a new film roll of equivalent format and speed. This compensation is independent of any claim made against the carrier.
Limitation of liability
Neither AP Photo Industries, S.L. nor the carrier may be held liable for the artistic, sentimental, documentary or commercial value of the images contained on the film rolls, nor for any harm arising from their irreparable loss. The maximum compensation is limited to the replacement of the blank physical medium.
💡 Recommendation: If the material has particularly significant sentimental or artistic value, we recommend taking out specific insurance for the transport or considering hand delivery at our premises.
C.2. Digitisation Service: Special Conditions for Analogue Media
Applicable to the digitisation of VHS tapes, Betamax, Super 8, Hi8, slides, negatives, DVDs and any other accepted analogue media.
Nature of the material
The customer acknowledges that analogue media are unique, irreplaceable materials subject to natural degradation. AP Photo Industries, S.L. will carry out the digitisation with the utmost technical care possible, but accepts no liability for damage arising from the prior poor condition of the medium (mould, warping, oxidation, loss of emulsion, magnetic degradation).
Loss or damage during transport
In the event of loss or irreparable damage during transport, liability is limited to:
- Full refund of the cost of the service purchased and not yet performed.
- Replacement of a blank physical medium with similar characteristics.
Under no circumstances will the compensation include the value of the content (images, sound, recordings) or consequential damages.
Incidents during the digitisation process
If, during the process, the medium suffers damage directly attributable to technical handling, a solution proportionate to the harm will be agreed, which will in no case exceed the total price paid for the service.
Value of the content
The customer accepts that neither AP Photo Industries, S.L. nor the carrier can assign an objective economic value to the content of the media. Claims for sentimental, artistic or documentary value, or loss of profit, will not be accepted.
💡 Notice: If you have any doubts about the condition of your material, we recommend contacting us before sending it. We can advise you on the feasibility of digitisation.
