Large Format artworks are sold by a separate legal entity, Ludovic Baron EI, and are governed by specific Terms and Conditions available on the dedicated page of the website ludovicbaron.fr.

For professional buyers acting in the course of their commercial activity, the protective provisions of French consumer law (notably the right of withdrawal) do not apply, unless expressly stated otherwise.

Any order placed on either website constitutes full and unconditional acceptance of these T&Cs. The Seller reserves the right to amend these T&Cs at any time. The version in force at the time of order validation shall apply.

 

3. PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

3.1 Fine art prints — “Signature Edition”

The prints available on ludovicbaron.fr are fine art photographic prints in open edition, without numbering or certificate of authenticity, unless explicitly stated otherwise on the product page.

Each print is made to order upon receipt of payment. Artworks may be offered with or without the artist’s handwritten signature, depending on the option selected at the time of order.

The designation “Signature Edition” refers exclusively to the presence of the artist’s handwritten signature on the print. It does not confer any uniqueness, numbering or certification upon the artwork, which the Buyer expressly acknowledges having understood prior to purchase.

Signature Edition prints are delivered framed and ready to hang. The frame included is the one displayed on the product page at the time of order.

3.2 Art TV digital artworks

Digital artworks are sold under a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable private use licence, strictly limited to the address and number of screens specified at the time of order.

3.3 Art Photo online training program

The Art Photo training program is an online educational program offered by Le 8eme Lion Studios. It does not constitute a certified professional training course and is not eligible for CPF or OPCO funding at this time.

 

4. ORDERS

Any order placed on the website is subject to availability and acceptance by the Seller. An order is definitively accepted upon the Seller’s dispatch of a confirmation email.

The Buyer undertakes to provide accurate, complete and up-to-date information when placing an order. The Seller cannot be held liable for the consequences of any input error or incomplete information provided by the Buyer.

The Seller reserves the right to refuse or cancel any order in the event of an ongoing dispute, non-payment of a previous order, suspected fraud, or any anomaly in the order.

 

5. PRICES

All prices are displayed in euros inclusive of all taxes (VAT included), excluding delivery costs. Delivery costs are indicated and invoiced separately during the order process.

The Seller reserves the right to modify prices at any time. The applicable price is that displayed at the time the Buyer validates their order.

Products remain the Seller’s property until full payment of the price, in accordance with Articles 2367 et seq. of the French Civil Code (retention of title clause).

 

6. PAYMENT

6.1 Payment methods

Payment is made online by credit or debit card via Stripe Payments Europe Ltd (Irish company, 1 Grand Canal Street Lower, Dublin 2, Ireland), a PCI-DSS certified secure payment platform. The Seller does not store any banking data belonging to the Buyer.

6.2 Instalment payment — Art Photo training program only

Instalment payment is offered exclusively for the Art Photo training program, on the following terms:

• 1 payment: EUR 1,595 incl. VAT (webinar rate) or EUR 3,147 incl. VAT (standard rate)

• 3 instalments: 3 × EUR 549 incl. VAT

• 6 instalments: 6 × EUR 297 incl. VAT

• 12 instalments: 12 × EUR 179 incl. VAT

The instalment payment offered by Le 8eme Lion Studios is a direct payment split between the Seller and the Buyer. It does not constitute consumer credit within the meaning of French law no. 2010-737 of July 1, 2010 (Lagarde Act) and does not exceed the applicable regulatory thresholds.

By opting for instalment payment, the Buyer irrevocably undertakes to pay all instalments due, regardless of their level of use of the program. The payment commitment is firm and final upon order validation.

In the event of payment default at the scheduled due date, the Seller reserves the right to: (i) immediately suspend access to the program without prior notice; (ii) demand immediate payment of the full outstanding balance; (iii) apply late payment penalties at the applicable statutory rate plus 5 percentage points, calculated on the amount due, from the first day of default. For professional buyers, a fixed recovery fee of EUR 40 is due as of right (Article D.441-5 of the French Commercial Code).

 

7. DELIVERY — PHYSICAL PRINTS

Delivery is handled by the Seller’s partner printing laboratories — Picto (Paris, France) and WhiteWall (Germany) — which ship directly to the address provided by the Buyer at the time of order. The Seller cannot be held liable for delays or failures attributable to the laboratories or carriers.

Delivery times are estimated at 7 to 15 business days from order confirmation, in accordance with the times displayed on the website. These timeframes are indicative only. The delivery time displayed on the product page at the time of order takes precedence over the general timeframe stated in these T&Cs.

For deliveries outside mainland France, including international deliveries, additional delays, customs duties and local taxes may apply. These costs are the sole responsibility of the Buyer.

If the product has not been received within 45 business days of order confirmation, the Buyer may request cancellation of the sale and a full refund of amounts paid, within 30 days.

In the event of a damaged parcel upon delivery, the Buyer must: (i) refuse the parcel or record precise written reservations with the carrier; (ii) photograph the condition of the parcel and product; (iii) notify the Seller by email at contact@ludovicbaron.fr within 3 business days of receipt. Any claim submitted after this deadline will be inadmissible.

 

8. RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL AND REFUND POLICY

8.1 Physical fine art prints — Exclusion of right of withdrawal

In accordance with Article L.221-28, paragraph 3 of the French Consumer Code, the right of withdrawal does not apply to goods made to the consumer’s specifications or clearly personalised.

As each Signature Edition print is made to order following specific choices by the Buyer (size, finish, framing, signature option), it constitutes a personalised good within the meaning of the law. Accordingly, no return, exchange or refund may be granted on this basis.

However, if the product received has a proven manufacturing defect or does not conform to the confirmed order, the Buyer may exercise their rights under the statutory warranty of conformity (Articles L.217-4 et seq. of the French Consumer Code) within 2 years of receipt. In order to enable prompt and effective handling of any such issue, the Buyer undertakes to inspect the product upon receipt and to report any visible defect or non-conformity by email to contact@ludovicbaron.fr within 72 hours of receipt, with supporting photographs. After this deadline, the Seller cannot guarantee that any reported defect was not caused by use or handling after delivery, which may affect the admissibility of the claim.

8.2 Digital products (Art TV artworks, wallpapers, ebooks)

In accordance with Article L.221-28, paragraph 13 of the French Consumer Code, the right of withdrawal does not apply to digital content supplied on an intangible medium where execution has begun following the consumer’s express consent and express waiver of their right of withdrawal.

By validating their order, the Buyer expressly acknowledges having consented to the immediate execution of the digital delivery and expressly waives their right of withdrawal. No refund may be granted after download or access to the digital file.

8.3 Art Photo online training program — Non-refundability

By validating their registration for the training program, the Buyer expressly consents to immediate access to the digital content (video modules, documents, resources) and expressly waives their 14-day right of withdrawal, in accordance with Article L.221-28, paragraph 13 of the French Consumer Code.

Access to the program is considered open as soon as a single module has been viewed. Content is deemed consumed in its entirety regardless of actual use of each resource. No full or partial refund may be granted after the program has been accessed, for any reason whatsoever.

This provision applies to all payment methods, including instalment payment. The commitment to pay all instalments subsists under all circumstances.

Offers subject to a promotional code or webinar pricing are non-refundable in all cases.

8.4 Large Format appointment fee — Non-refundable

Booking a private appointment gives rise to payment of a fee of EUR 1,890 incl. VAT (20% VAT) invoiced by Le 8eme Lion Studios SASU. This fee constitutes the sole consideration for the reservation of the private time slot and the personalised accompaniment experience (Tea Time with the artist, 45 minutes).

At the end of the appointment, the Buyer may, according to their wishes, acquire either a Signature Edition (fine art open edition print, invoiced by Le 8eme Lion Studios SASU, 20% VAT) or a Large Format (fine art print in numbered limited edition, signed with certificate of authenticity, invoiced by Ludovic Baron EI, 5.5% VAT). These two products are distinct and subject to separate terms and invoicing.

The appointment fee does not under any circumstances constitute a deposit on either of these acquisitions and cannot be applied against any subsequent invoice.

This fee is strictly non-refundable in the event of cancellation, postponement not notified at least 48 hours in advance, or non-appearance by the Buyer, for any reason whatsoever. In the event of cancellation at the Seller’s exclusive initiative, the fee is fully refunded within 14 days. The Buyer expressly acknowledges having read and understood this clause prior to any payment.

Purely as a commercial gesture and without any contractual commitment between the two entities, the artist may grant a commercial discount on the price of a Large Format invoiced by Ludovic Baron EI. Any such discount is at the artist’s sole discretion, is decided at the time of acquisition, and creates no acquired right for the Buyer.

8.5 Promotional offers

Promotional offers (promo codes, bundle offers such as COLLECTOR, webinar rates) are non-refundable in all cases. The Seller reserves the right to modify, suspend or withdraw any promotional offer at any time and without notice. No promotional offer may be applied retroactively to an already validated order.

 

9. BEST EFFORTS COMMITMENT — ART PHOTO TRAINING PROGRAM

Le 8eme Lion Studios undertakes to make available to the Buyer all the educational resources, training modules, coaching sessions and tools included in the Art Photo program, under the conditions described at the time of sale.

This commitment is a best efforts obligation and not an obligation of result. Results achieved by each participant depend exclusively on their personal involvement, the regularity of their practice, and the specific context of their artistic and professional journey. The Seller does not guarantee any level of income, sales, followers or public recognition.

Any testimonial or result presented in communications materials constitutes an individual example and is not representative of average or guaranteed results.

9.1 Conditional additional coaching

If the Buyer has: (i) completed 100% of the modules within 6 months of registration; (ii) submitted all required exercises; (iii) actively participated in interactive sessions; and (iv) applied the methods taught without noticing improvement in their practice — they may submit a request for an additional 6 months of coaching.

This request must be sent in writing to contact@ludovicbaron.fr before the end of the 6th month of coaching, accompanied by a detailed progress report documenting actions taken. The Seller will assess the request and reserves the right to accept or refuse it based on the evidence provided. Any such additional coaching does not constitute an acquired right.

 

10. LICENCE OF USE — ART TV DIGITAL ARTWORKS

The purchase of an Art TV digital artwork grants the Buyer a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence of use strictly limited to the following conditions:

• Exclusively private use, at the delivery address declared at the time of order.

• Display authorised on the number of screens determined at the time of order only.

• Lifetime access guaranteed subject to compliance with these conditions.

Strictly prohibited: any reproduction, printing, modification, sharing, transfer, lending, resale or display on more screens than authorised, as well as any commercial, public or promotional use without the Seller’s prior written authorisation.

Any breach of this licence constitutes copyright infringement under Articles L.335-2 et seq. of the French Intellectual Property Code. In the event of a proven breach, the Seller may: (i) immediately terminate the Buyer’s licence without refund; (ii) claim liquidated damages equal to three (3) times the licence price, without prejudice to any further justified damages; (iii) initiate any appropriate civil or criminal action.

 

11. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

All artworks, photographs, texts, visuals, logos, structures and content published on ludovicbaron.fr and formation-art-photo.fr are the exclusive property of Ludovic Baron and/or Le 8eme Lion Studios, protected under the French Intellectual Property Code.

Any reproduction, representation, modification, adaptation, translation, extraction or reuse, whether partial or total, by any means whatsoever, without the Seller’s prior written authorisation, is strictly prohibited and would constitute a criminally punishable infringement.

The purchase of a photographic print or digital artwork does not transfer any intellectual property rights over the artwork. Only the physical medium or the licence of use defined in these T&Cs is transferred to the Buyer.

 

12. CODE OF CONDUCT AND EXCLUSION — ART PHOTO TRAINING PROGRAM

Upon registration, each participant undertakes to adopt respectful conduct towards all community members, trainers and team members.

Strictly prohibited and grounds for immediate exclusion without refund: hateful, denigrating, defamatory or harassing messages; any violation of a member’s privacy; any aggressive or abusive conduct through program channels or outside them (social media, private messaging, etc.).

The Seller reserves the right to exclude without notice or refund any participant whose conduct breaches these rules, in order to preserve the integrity of the community.

 

13. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

The Seller undertakes to use all reasonable means to ensure the availability and proper functioning of its websites. However, it cannot be held liable for technical interruptions, errors, viruses or unavailability attributable to third parties or force majeure events.

The Seller’s liability is limited to the amount actually paid by the Buyer for the transaction concerned. Under no circumstances may the Seller be held liable for indirect damages such as loss of profit, loss of clients, reputational damage or data loss.

The Seller is not liable for delivery delays or failures attributable to the printing laboratory or third-party carrier.
