You may view the website and its content for personal, informational purposes.
Without prior written permission, you may not:

4. Website content
EMES Arts makes reasonable efforts to keep the information on this website accurate and current.
However, photographs, portfolio selections, descriptions, links, and other website content may change without prior notice.
EMES Arts does not guarantee that the website will always be available or completely free from technical errors.
5. External links
This website may contain links to external websites and services, such as Instagram and Behance.
EMES Arts does not control those external websites and is not responsible for their content, availability, or policies.
6. Photography enquiries and collaborations
Information presented on this website does not constitute an offer to enter into a photography assignment or other commercial agreement.
Specific photography assignments, collaborations, licensing arrangements, and commissions are subject to separate agreement between the parties.
Any agreed scope, price, usage rights, delivery requirements, and other conditions will be confirmed separately where applicable.
7. Future purchases
This website may in the future provide access to photographic prints or other products for direct purchase.
Where products are offered for sale directly through this website, additional information concerning pricing, payment, delivery, returns, and product specifications will be provided before purchase, in line with applicable Dutch and EU consumer-protection law.
Where required by law, consumers purchasing as a private individual within the EU have a statutory right to withdraw from a distance purchase within 14 days of receiving the product, without giving a reason (herroepingsrecht). This right does not apply to goods made to the consumer's specifications or that are clearly personalised — such as signed, numbered, or made-to-order prints — where this exception applies under Dutch law (Article 6:230p of the Dutch Civil Code). Where such an exception applies to a specific product, this will be stated clearly before you complete your purchase.
These Terms will be updated with full distance-selling terms before any such sale becomes available.
8. Limitation of use
Nothing on this website grants ownership of any photograph, video, artwork, trademark, or other intellectual property unless explicitly agreed in writing.
9. Limitation of liability
EMES Arts is not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from the use of, or inability to use, this website, except where such liability results from intent or gross negligence on the part of EMES Arts.
Nothing in these Terms limits any liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable Dutch law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or liability arising from mandatory consumer-protection rules.
EMES Arts is not liable for damages resulting from temporary unavailability of the website, technical malfunctions, or third-party services linked from the website.
10. Applicable law and language
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Netherlands, unless mandatory applicable law provides otherwise.
Any disputes will be handled by the competent court in accordance with applicable Dutch law and mandatory consumer-protection rules where applicable.
These Terms are drafted in English. Where a translated version is provided, the English version prevails in the event of any inconsistency, unless mandatory local law requires otherwise.
