All content present on the site may be protected by Belgian, European and international provisions relating in particular to copyright, intellectual property and related rights.

This protection concerns in particular :

• captions ;
• graphic creations ;
• the selection and organisation of content ;
• visual elements ;
• audiovisual elements ;
• as well as any other original creation published on the site.

Unless otherwise stated, the photographs and photographic creations presented on briangokas.com were created by Brian Gokas.

Their publication on the internet does not constitute a transfer of rights, a general authorisation for use, or a waiver of the intellectual property rights they benefit from.

5. Use of photographs

Unless prior authorisation or an exception expressly provided for by applicable legislation, it is prohibited to reproduce, copy, download, extract, modify, retouch, crop, publish, distribute, communicate to the public, print or exploit the photographs presented on this site.

This prohibition particularly concerns any use:

• on another website;
• on a social network;
• in a printed publication;
• in a media;
• in an advertising campaign;
• in a professional presentation;
• in an institutional publication;
• in a press kit;
• in a commercial communication;

The fact that a photograph is publicly accessible on the internet does not mean that it is free of rights.

Any request for reproduction or use can be addressed to:

Any potential authorisation only covers the uses, purposes, media, territories and durations expressly agreed.

6. Photographic credits

Unless otherwise stated:

Photographs © Brian Gokas

Some photographs may have been taken as part of assignments entrusted by individuals, companies, associations, public institutions or other organisations.

Any rights belonging to these third parties remain reserved to their respective holders.

The brands, logos, works, artistic creations, buildings, protected objects or other elements belonging to third parties that may appear in the photographs remain subject to their own rights.

Right to image

7. Persons represented in the photographs

Some photographs published on this site may depict identifiable individuals.

The rights of the photographer over a photograph and the rights of the person represented in their image are distinct.

The presence of a photograph on briangokas.com does not therefore confer any third party the right to reuse the image of the person represented.

When permission is required for the publication of a photograph, it is used within the limits of the purpose and context for which the permission was granted.

The permission given for the creation of a photograph should not necessarily be equated with a general permission allowing any publication or reuse of it.

Similarly, permission granted by the photographer to use a photograph does not necessarily exempt its user from obtaining any permissions that may be required from the persons represented.

8. Request regarding the right to image

Anyone who believes that a photograph published on the site infringes their right to image or is used outside the authorised context may submit a request to:

info@briangokas.com

The request must allow for sufficient identification of:

• the photograph in question;
• the page on which it appears;
• the person represented;
• as well as the nature of the request.

Each request will be examined in light of the circumstances of the shoot, the purpose of the publication, any permissions obtained, and the applicable legal provisions.

10. Photographic services

The photographs presented in the portfolio are intended to illustrate the photographic style, approach, and types of services that may be offered.

They do not constitute a guarantee that a future service will produce identical photographs.

The result of a photographic service depends in particular on :

• the location ;
• the light ;
• the weather conditions ;
• the people present ;
• the course of the event ;
• technical constraints ;
• access possibilities ;
• and the conditions agreed with the client.

The final conditions of a service may be specified in a quote, a contract, an order confirmation or separate general conditions.

11. Form and contact

Sending a message via the site, by phone or by email does not automatically create a contractual relationship.

A service is only considered agreed upon after agreement on its essential elements according to the terms communicated to the client.

The terms relating to the processing of data transmitted during a contact are described in the Privacy Policy of the site.
