of
sale

Last updated: 17 September 2026

Article 1 — Purpose and scope

These terms of sale govern all services offered by Ludovic Pineau, a sole proprietorship trading as SLIIIME-FWI — Studio Créatif (hereafter “the Provider”), to any private or professional client (hereafter “the Client”).

The services covered are:

• photo sessions (PORTRAIT, SHOOT, DIRECTION and FILM packages);
• video services (social media content, performance videos, aftermovies, live recordings, artist music videos, brand films);
• dance classes, workshops and intensives (popping, breaking), including sessions delivered inside schools and organisations;
• packages combining photo, video and dance (First Move, On Stage, Signature, Immersion, Residency);
• any art direction, filming or editing work quoted individually.

Placing an order implies unreserved acceptance of these terms. They prevail over any purchasing conditions of the Client, unless otherwise agreed in writing.

Article 2 — Quotes and formation of the contract

The prices shown on the site are indicative starting prices and do not constitute a contractual offer. Each project is the subject of a named quote setting out the nature of the service, its duration, the location, the number of deliverables, the extent of the rights granted and the price.

A quote is valid for 30 days from the date it is issued. The contract is formed once two conditions are met: the signed quote is returned marked “bon pour accord”, and the deposit set out in Article 4 is paid.

Article 3 — Prices

Prices are stated in euros and are net of tax. The Provider is not liable for VAT: VAT not applicable, Article 293 B of the French General Tax Code. No VAT is charged and none can be reclaimed.

In accordance with Article L112-1 of the French Consumer Code, the price stated on the quote is the final price payable: no VAT is added to it, whether the client is a private individual or a business.

Unless the quote states otherwise, the price does not include:

• travel costs beyond a 30 km radius around Le Gosier;
• the hire of a studio, of specific equipment or of privatised locations;
• filming permits and location fees;
• third-party services (make-up, hair, styling, models);
• prints, albums and physical media.

Article 4 — Payment

Deposit. A date is only held once a deposit of 30 % of the total amount has been paid. This deposit is set against the final price. For services above €1,800, the deposit may be raised to 50 %, as set out in the quote.

Services under €300. Services with a total amount under €300 (including private classes, portrait sessions and the First Move package) are paid in full at booking.

Public bodies. For local authorities, public bodies and schools, no deposit is required: the service is paid on invoice, after completion, within the applicable statutory payment period.

Balance. The balance falls due on delivery of the files. Where payment in instalments is mentioned on the site, it is set out in a written schedule appended to the quote.

Accepted means of payment: bank transfer, cash and secure online payment. Cash is accepted up to the legal ceiling applicable to payments between a business and a private individual who is tax-resident in France, namely €1,000.

Late payment. Any sum unpaid on its due date automatically incurs late payment interest. For professional clients, this interest is charged at three times the French statutory interest rate, together with a fixed recovery indemnity of €40 (Articles L441-10 and D441-5 of the French Commercial Code). For consumer clients, it is charged at the French statutory interest rate. The Provider reserves the right to withhold delivery of the files until payment has been made in full.

Article 5 — Cancellation and postponement

By the Client

By the Provider

If the Provider is unable to attend (illness, equipment failure, force majeure), a new date is offered first. Failing agreement, the deposit is refunded in full, with no further compensation due.

Weather conditions

For outdoor sessions, the Provider may propose a postponement where conditions would compromise the quality of the result or safety. Such a postponement incurs no fee and no compensation.

Article 6 — Running of the session

The Client undertakes to be present at the agreed time and place. Any lateness is deducted from the length of the session, with no extension and no reduction in price.

The Provider retains full artistic control over the work: framing, lighting, direction and processing. The selection of the images delivered is a matter for their professional judgement.

For dance classes, the Client declares that they are in a physical condition compatible with the activity. It is for the Client to take out individual public liability insurance. The Provider cannot be held liable for injuries resulting from a failure to follow their instructions.

Article 7 — Delivery

Retouched photo files are delivered through a private online gallery within an indicative period of 21 working days from the session, unless the quote states a different period. For video work, the delivery deadline is set in the quote based on the size of the project, generally up to 10 working days from the last day of filming. A specific deadline may be stated in the quote for larger projects.

The number of photographs delivered is the number stated on the quote. Unselected source files (RAW files, rushes, discarded images) are not delivered and remain the property of the Provider.

The gallery stays open for 3 months. It is for the Client to download and back up their files within that time. After that, the Provider is under no obligation to keep them archived.

Additional retouching. One round of feedback is included. Any request beyond that, and any substantial change to the original order, is the subject of an additional quote.

Article 8 — Copyright and use of the images

Under the French Intellectual Property Code, the Provider remains the owner of the copyright in all images produced. The sale of a file does not transfer the exploitation rights.

Private use

Unless stated otherwise, the SHOOT and DIRECTION packages allow strictly personal, non-commercial use: private printing and publication on the Client’s personal social media accounts.

Commercial use

Any commercial exploitation — advertising, business website, press, packaging, resale — requires a written transfer of rights specifying the media, the territory and the duration. Such a transfer is included in the FILM package and the Signature package, within the limits set out in the quote.

Credit and integrity

Any publication must credit © SLIIIME-FWI or @snooppineau. Cropping, adding filters or otherwise altering an image without agreement infringes the author’s moral right and is prohibited.

Article 9 — The Client’s image rights

The Client may or may not authorise the Provider to use images of them for promotional purposes (portfolio, website, social media, competitions, exhibitions). This authorisation is obtained separately and in writing and may be refused with no effect on the price or on the service.

The Client may withdraw their authorisation at any time in writing. Withdrawal takes effect for the future: material already printed or published cannot be recalled.

For minors, the written authorisation of the legal guardian is mandatory.

Article 10 — Right of withdrawal

A consumer Client contracting at a distance has, in principle, fourteen days in which to withdraw (Article L221-18 of the French Consumer Code).

That right does not, however, apply to leisure services to be supplied on a specified date (Article L221-28 12°), which covers sessions and classes booked for a fixed date. Where the right of withdrawal does apply and the Client expressly asks for the work to begin before the end of the period, they must pay for the part of the service already performed.

Article 11 — Liability

The Provider’s liability is limited to the amount invoiced for the service. Should files be lost or destroyed before delivery as a result of a technical failure, the Provider will offer a new session on the same terms or refund the sums paid, to the exclusion of any other compensation.

Article 12 — Force majeure

Neither party is liable for a failure resulting from an event of force majeure within the meaning of Article 1218 of the French Civil Code: natural disaster, hurricane, epidemic, strike, administrative decision. Obligations are suspended for the duration of the event.

Article 13 — Personal data

Data collected in the course of the contractual relationship is processed in accordance with the privacy policy.

Article 14 — Complaints and mediation

Any complaint should be sent to contact@sliiime-fwi.com. The Provider undertakes to reply within 15 days.

Under Articles L611-1 et seq. of the French Consumer Code, a consumer Client has the right to use a consumer mediator free of charge to settle a dispute amicably, having first tried to resolve it directly with the Provider through a written complaint.

The Provider has appointed for this purpose:

Referral to the mediator requires that a written complaint has first been sent to the Provider and that no solution has been found within one year of that complaint.

For a cross-border dispute within the European Union, the Client may contact the European Consumer Centre France.

Article 15 — Governing law and jurisdiction

These terms are governed by French law. Failing an amicable settlement, the dispute will be brought before the competent courts. A consumer Client may choose to bring proceedings before the court of their place of residence.
