Photo-Me Terms of use

INTRODUCTION

In these terms and conditions and in the privacy statement set out below, Photo-Me International plc is referred to as ‘we’, ‘us’ or ‘our’.

Below are set out the terms and conditions applicable to use by a customer (referred to as ‘you’, and ‘your’) who uses any of our photo booths (a ‘PMI Booth’). By using a PMI Booth, you will be deemed to accept these terms and conditions.

USE

You will not use a PMI Booth for (i) any unlawful purpose, or (ii) any purposes unconnected with the taking of your photograph by the PMI Booth.

TITLE TO, AND COPYRIGHT IN, THE PRODUCT

So long as you pay the full price for the product, title to, and copyright in, the photograph produced by the PMI Booth (‘product’ or ‘photographs’) belongs to you immediately the photograph is produced. We do not keep any copy of photographs produced by the PMI Booth except for the purpose of transferring the photos digitally to an official Government service on your instructions, after which the photo is permanently deleted from our systems.

REFUNDING CUSTOMERS, AND LIMITATION ON OUR LIABILITY TO YOU

In the rare cases of the PMI Booth producing photographs that are not of satisfactory quality, our maximum liability, and your sole remedy, for defective products sold by a PMI Booth, whether such liability is in contract, negligence, statute or otherwise at law is as follows.

You will be entitled to a refund of the price of the photos. To seek a refund, you may contact us by:

(i) writing to our Customer Service Department, Photo-Me Ireland Supplies Limited, A4 Alexander House, Tallaght Cross East, Dublin D24 CX9R; or

(ii) emailing customercare@photo-me.ie; or

(iii) phoning +353 (01) 457 2121.

We will normally issue a full refund for a single set of photographs on a ‘no-quibble’ basis but reserves the right to you to send in the photographs to support the claim for a single set refund, multiple purchases or if we have previously paid you a refund. This is to enable us to assess the alleged problems with the photographs. Where we exercise this right, we will also refund to you the cost of sending us the photographs by ordinary first-class post, provided we decide that a refund is due on the photographs.

Where you phone our call centre, we may ask you to write in if we have any difficulty understanding you, so we can make sure the refund is issued correctly.

INDIRECT AND CONSEQUENTIAL LOSSES

In no event will we have any liability whatsoever for any indirect or consequential loss incurred by you or anyone for whom you may be acting howsoever that loss may be caused and regardless of whether we have or are deemed to have any knowledge that non-production of a photograph or a defect or problem with any photograph would or is likely to give rise to such loss. Non-exhaustive examples of such indirect losses include (i) travel fares incurred by you for the purpose of going elsewhere to have your photos taken, and (ii) the cost of someone else taking the photos.

STATUTORY RIGHTS

None of the above in any way affects our liability for death or personal injury due to its negligence, or any other liability that the law prevents us from limiting or excluding.

Where you deal as a consumer, none of the above affects your statutory rights.

These terms and conditions are governed by the laws of England and Wales.
