If the copyright notice is missing, incomplete, in the wrong position or not possible of being clearly allocated to the picture in question, a surcharge of 100% of the agreed fee shall be payable.
If the photographic material is not returned in time (blocking), the following penalty shall be payable upon the expiry of the period provided for in V. 1 or 2 of these General Terms and Conditions:

A penalty of 50% of the agreed fee shall be payable if no sample copy is provided or the statement of account does not include a sample copy or details of which picture was used in what place and in what publication.
The payments anticipated in VII of these General Terms and Conditions shall not give rise to any rights of utilization.

VIII.

The contractual relationships anticipated by these General Terms and Conditions shall be subject to German law including in the case of deliveries to foreign destinations.
Any additions or modifications to these General Terms and Conditions shall be in writing only.
If any of the provisions contained herein are void, this shall have no effect on the validity of the remaining provisions. In such a case, the Parties undertake to replace the void provision with a valid one coming as commercially and economically close as possible to what they intended with the void provision.
The place of fulfillment and the legal venue shall be Montabaur in cases in which the Customer is a full merchant as defined by German commercial law.
