Payment terms 0049 ambassadors program

You will receive a percentage commission on every sale made through your referral links or codes (exclusive of third-party costs & only on first subscription order), unless explicitly stated otherwise and only if directly booked through shop or individual quotes from us. Third-party costs may include, but are not limited to, prepaid credits, additional delivery, external production crew, add-ons, travel, equipment, rental, printing, stock, media, beauty, or licensing costs & and more. Our affiliate program automatically scans every item in the customer order and provides you with the corresponding commission in your dashboard, removing the necessity for manual verification. For larger productions, commission payments on extra services could be discussed in advance. All services are invoiced according to the booked plan or service. Monthly payments are made after 30 days. The service date corresponds to the invoice date unless otherwise specified. Unless explicitly agreed otherwise in writing, any additional expenses and costs incurred will be addressed in accordance with our General Terms and Conditions and therefore no commission will be possible. Payments can only be made based on a valid invoice including the specified value-added tax. No payments without an invoice. Payments can be made via PayPal, to the business bank account, or credited to your own shop prepaid balance through offsetting. Please contact our sales team for further assistance. Please note the legal regulations regarding small businesses, etc. The open payout/commission amount displayed in the dashboard is gross including value-added tax, as we also operate our shop for B2C customers. Ensure that the commission value matches your total gross invoice value, which includes value-added tax, when preparing your invoice. If needed, feel free to send us a draft invoice for review to prevent any misunderstandings. Commissions are calculated per line item (gross values), not the total order amount. Recurring subscription commissions match the initial order. Referrals earn a one-time commission on the first subscription order; none thereafter, only for all one-time-payment services (exclusive of third-party costs), unless explicitly stated otherwise and only if directly booked through shop or individual quotes from us. This policy applies universally. We're delighted to welcome you aboard! Feel free to use your commission also for digital & physical products across all our online stores. Additionally, if desired, we can allocate a portion or all of your credit to support tree planting initiatives or charitable organizations of your choosing. Thank you for being part of the 0049 crew & for entrusting us with your partnership!

Certain items or services are ineligible for commission due to the inclusion of third-party costs that need to be passed on. For example, when a customer opts for f. eg.: “printing expenses”, these external costs do not contribute to commissionable revenue that we can distribute. Third-party costs cover expenses such as prepaid credits, delivery fees, production crew and more. These costs are not included in your commission earnings.

Right of use

Unless otherwise stated in the offer, the customer receives the rights of use for the use defined in the offer. The recordings made by us are copyrighted material. The granting of usage rights and ancillary copyrights is conditional upon full payment of the agreed remuneration. Unless otherwise agreed, the client is generally granted an exclusive right to use the recordings. Notwithstanding the granting of an exclusive right of use, we are entitled to use the recorded material for our own advertising purposes. The client only acquires rights of use to the processed photos to the extent specified in the contract. Property rights are not transferred. The granting and transfer of the rights of use acquired by the client to third parties, including to other editorial offices of a publisher, requires the written consent of the contractor. Use of the images is generally only permitted in the original version. Any change or redesign (e.g. assembly, photo-technical alienation, coloring) and any change in the image reproduction (e.g. publication in excerpts) requires the prior consent of the photographer. The photographer is to be named as the author of every picture publication. The naming must be done with the picture or in the medium. The rights of use may not be passed on to third parties or used in any other way. The contractor grants the client the simple right to use the above item. The rights of use are - unless otherwise stated in writing - unlimited for use on the Internet, at internal and external events and at trade fairs.

Project data backup

We provide data backup services tailored for project files, encompassing raw files, project documents and final deliveries, ensuring their continued accessibility beyond the project's timeframe. Customers can secure backups for 1-5 years, with an annual subscription recommended for ease. While final delivery files are accessible without a backup plan, opting for one guarantees future data availability. Without a backup plan, all project data and files are removed after 12 months. Our services offer flexibility, with easy upgrades or cancellations available at any time. Additionally, we offer a variety of add-ons and extra services through our board menu.

2.5. Orders are placed based on offers by 0049 PRODUCTIONS GMBH & CO. KG in written form (email sufficient) and include these terms and conditions. If work has already begun before accepting an offer in written form, these terms and conditions apply to such work and any work is to be remunerated based on the actual effort incurred by 0049 PRODUCTIONS GMBH & CO.

If music recordings are used in television or film productions, the artist must be referred to in the credits as follows: „by 0049.productions“. A similar reference to the artist must also be made in the context of any other use of music recordings, unless the specification of such a reference is inappropriate for technical reasons, the applicable law allows a different approach or the specification of a reference is not customary in the industry.

10.1.5. In principle, all rights to any material remain with 0049 PRODUCTIONS GMBH & CO. KG unless expressly granted to the customer. Regardless of protection by industrial property rights or copyright, the customer undertakes not to commercially exploit or allow the economic exploitation of any material and/or ideas provided by 0049 PRODUCTIONS GMBH & CO.

11.3. 0049 PRODUCTIONS GMBH & CO. KG is not liable for the loss of data and / or programs, insofar as the damage is due to the fact that the client has failed to carry out timely, continuous and functional data backups and thereby ensure that lost data justifiable can be restored.

11.4. The media used by 0049 PRODUCTIONS GMBH & CO. KG are standard branded items and are randomly checked for harmlessness. In particular with the storage media used in the film camera, manufacturer errors can occur which subsequently have a causal effect on the quality of the work. 0049 PRODUCTIONS GMBH & CO.

11.5. The technical equipment of 0049 PRODUCTIONS GMBH & CO. KG is subject to the customary restrictions in bad weather, especially rain. 0049 PRODUCTIONS GMBH & CO. KG is responsible for changing the recording situation in order to prevent or avert obvious damage to the device used.

For damages resulting from an injury to life, body, or health, 0049 PRODUCTIONS GMBH & CO. KG is also liable if caused by its own simple negligent behavior or the simple negligent behavior of a representative or vicarious agent.

Liability of 0049 PRODUCTIONS GMBH & CO. KG under the Product Liability Act as well as the statutory warranty for defects remains unaffected by the preceding paragraphs. 0049 PRODUCTIONS GMBH & CO.

If the cancellation takes place at a point in time at which services have already been provided (installation of the technology, setup, filming, conception, location check), the remuneration is owed in full. This does not apply if the early termination of the contract occurs for reasons that are not in the sphere of the customer. This includes in particular the impossibility of executing the order due to storms, political upheavals, illness or death of a person who cannot be replaced who is involved in the production process. In any case, the customer owes the reimbursement of the proven expenses (travel and accommodation costs as well as costs for insurance and all other project-related external costs) in the event of premature termination. An offsetting of saved expenses and an offsetting of actually achieved or maliciously neglected interim earnings according to §§ 649 S. 1 half sentence 2 BGB does not take place in cases of premature termination by the customer.
