In the event of cancellation within 7 calendar days before the start of the coaching or non-appearance of the participant, there is no entitlement to a refund of the participation fee.

§ 4 Rights of use

(1 ) The models shall each receive the irrevocable right to use the images made available to them by the photographer on a voluntary basis for an unlimited period of time for self-promotional purposes (sedcard, homepage, model portfolio).

(2) If photos show participants other than the participating model, it must be ensured that portraits may not be published or disseminated without the consent of all persons depicted. Furthermore, it must be ensured that non-accredited persons are generally not photographed. 

§ 5 Making Of Photos/Videos

1. SL will have video and/or photo material made of the workshop as such at its own discretion, in which the participants will also be seen. The participants agree to this.

2. each participant allows SL to use the created image and film material for documentation and self-promotion purposes on the internet or in other media. The consent is irrevocable and is generally valid for an unlimited period. However, it shall only apply insofar as the publication does not violate any legitimate interest of the person depicted, e.g. depiction in a disfiguring or compromising manner. 

§ 6 Liability

1 SL accepts no liability for damage suffered by participants on arrival or departure, nor for items lost during the event.

2. SL is only liable for damage to property if this is caused by intentional or grossly negligent breaches of duty by SL or its vicarious agents.

SL is not liable for personal injury or damage to property of any kind whatsoever caused to the participant as a result of intentional or grossly negligent misconduct on the part of other participants. Furthermore, SL is only liable for damage caused by individual participants insofar as SL or its vicarious agents are guilty of independent contributory negligence. In particular, SL is not liable as a mere party responsible for the condition or purpose of the event or from the liability concept of responsibility for rooms. Since the events are designed to work together with an indefinite number of changing participants, the assumption that SL is at fault for the selection of the participants is generally out of the question.

4. SL does not guarantee the reliability of the individual participants and is in particular not liable for the professional or character suitability of the same.

5. SL is not liable for unauthorised publication, distribution or other copyright infringements committed by individual participants or by means of photos taken by them in the course of photo shoots or otherwise to the detriment of other participants.

§ 7 Warning / Exclusion

The instructions of SL and / or his assistants must be followed without fail. If a participant violates workshop rules or instructions, he/she may be warned and, in the event of a repeat offence, excluded from the event.

2 SL reserves the right to exclude participants from the workshop without prior warning in the event of continued or particularly gross violations.

3. Excluded participants remain obliged to pay the full participation fee.

§ 8 Cancellation of the event

If the event is canceled (due to illness of SL or bad booking situation of the workshop), the participants will be refunded the paid participation fees immediately. The participant is not entitled to any further reimbursement.
