b. The customer/client has the right to demand a rectification of defects in case of individual modifications under the condition that a special declaration of intent for specific product features has been made.
c. Gustoimages Ltd will not be liable for claims in regard to defects of any nature.

7. Framing and handling prints - it is important to consider the following:
a. Lighting - Too much direct light whether artificial or sunlight on to the surface of a print will inevitably change original colours and cause fading to occur. Conservatories and very bright rooms are not suitable for hanging prints.
b. Humidity - Prints can suffer damage in overly humid conditions. Water may cause an uneven print surface and discoloration to occur. For this reason we would not recommend that prints are hung in bathrooms and, in some cases, kitchens.
c. Heat - Prints should not be hung directly above radiators or in direct sunlight.
d. Giclee prints must NOT be handled without the use of the cotton gloves provided. The prints WILL mark if handled. They must also not be sealed e.g. by laminating. Framing is fine as long as the surface of the print is not in contact with the glass.
e. We recommend the use of UV resistant glass (non-shatter) as this will block out harmful light rays and further protect the print from breakage. Always ensure that there is an air gap between the print surface and the glass, as failure to do so will lead to humidity pockets on the surface of the print. Check that the glass does not have a strong tint, as this will change the appearance of the print.
f. When choosing a mount board, ask for acid free framing mount materials. Non-professional materials have high acidity levels, which over time will damage the print.
Adhesives: ask for acid free framing tape. Do not use standard sticky tape, blu tack or masking tape as they may leave marks and damage the print with high acidity levels.

8. Reservation of title
a. The delivered print remains property of Gustoimages Ltd, until all account receivable have been settled in full. This right remains unchanged even in regard to third party claims.
b. In case of non settlement of accounts receivable Gustoimages Ltd reserves the right to terminate or withhold access to the product.

9. Patents and copyrights
a. The right of ownership and copyright for all Gustoimages Ltd images lies solely by Gustoimages Ltd. This ownership and copyright also includes all related product files.
b. The images are copyrighted by international law. The customer/client must there handle the product like any other copyright protected material.
c. The customer/client is required to report any violation of copyright and/or ownership in written form as soon as such information becomes know to him.
d. You may not scan, duplicate, copy, publish, or otherwise utilize the image in any manner.

10. General terms
a. If any of the above terms are not valid or can be challenged, then all remaining terms are not affected by such. Changes or oral agreements require written confirmation.
