A4. BUSINESS AND COMMERCIAL USE OF IMAGES

You may purchase an image download from Photo North for business or commercial use, but you do so entirely at your own risk.
You are advised to seek legal advice, especially if the image contains identifiable people, identifiable property, buildings (especially those less than 70 years old or belonging to the National Trust), fairgrounds, theatre interiors, tourist attractions, industrial developments, art works, brands, trademarks or logos.
Joan Martin takes every aspect of her work seriously and has done everything possible to ensure she has acted correctly when taking the photographs, naming them, and adding them to this website. Joan is not a lawyer though and as the laws regarding commercial use of images are constantly changing and vary from country to country, you are ultimately responsible for ensuring that your intended use of an image will not result in any form of conflict or legal dispute. Every image is sold “as is” and you must, accordingly judge the suitability of the image for the purpose intended and decide whether a model or property release is needed. (A release is signed permission from an individual, or owner of a property, giving permission for the use of a photo in which they or their property appears). You must satisfy yourself that all releases as may be required for reproduction of the image(s) have been secured. If you are unsure as to whether releases are needed for your image usage, then it is your responsibility to consult with your lawyer or the relevant parties. You are solely responsible for obtaining any releases that have not already been secured and the licence is conditional on their existence.
Details as to whether a model or property release has already been obtained are provided with the 'Image Info' (accessible from the enlarged thumbnail) and unless otherwise stated, all landscapes, buildings, historical structures and works of art have been photographed from public roads, public footpaths, places that offered free public access (with no photography restrictions) or from a hot-air balloon.

A5. DISCLAIMER

Joan Martin takes every aspect of her work very seriously and has done everything possible to ensure she has acted correctly when taking the photographs, naming and editing.
Joan Martin does not accept any responsibility for errors or misuse of the images once they have been downloaded or shared from www.photonorth.co.uk.
Any advertorial, commercial or business use is entirely the responsibility of the purchaser.

A6. WARRANTY

If notified within ten days of purchase, Joan will offer a full refund should you have any reason to be disappointed with a download purchased from Photo North.

B: PHOTO NORTH DISCOVERY WALKS

All Photo North Discovery Walks remain the property of Joan Martin. Copyright © Joan Martin 2005-2023. All Rights Reserved.

Much time and effort has gone into the making of the Photo North Discovery Walks because Joan would like them to be regarded as some of the best and most detailed guides on the market. Please note however that new fences may have been erected, signposts changed or at times you may have found the directions difficult to follow! Please contact Joan if you have any comments or contributions to make about the walks. Feedback is invaluable and helps to ensure that the guides are continually up to date and are as accurate as possible. This feedback helps to ensure the safety and enjoyment of other walkers. The length of time suggested to complete each walk does not allow for lunch or coffee breaks, and is based on a person of average fitness.

B2. SAFETY

The tick boxes on the photos of the PDFs are an ideal way to keep children interested in a walk, but some shots have been taken with a zoom lens, and Joan may have taken carefully considered risks to get some of the other photos. Children should not be allowed to take risks in order to add a tick!
Joan Martin has done everything possible to keep you safe while following the Photo North Discovery Walks, but no outdoor walking is without risk. You are solely responsible for your own safety and that of your family. Take the precautions listed on each walk, keep safe, and Joan hopes you enjoy these Photo North Discovery Walks as much as she enjoyed preparing them for you!
