A friendly overview to get you oriented. The official terms below are the authoritative version. Nothing is hidden or summarized away.

Official terms

The official terms

The complete, authoritative text. All ten sections stay visible and complete. No material clause is hidden behind an accordion or tab.

01 The merchant

Merchant Identification

OLH Photographie is operated by Olivier La Haye, a professional photographer based in Quebec City, Canada. For any questions about an order, use the contact form.

02 Your files

Product Description

Purchased photos are final, professionally retouched JPEG files, delivered at full resolution and without watermark. Retouching is part of the process: what you receive is the finished file, at the full resolution of the final edit, never a RAW file or an unprocessed camera file. The previews displayed on the website are reduced-quality and do not represent the final quality of the delivered product.

03 Pricing & payment

Pricing and Payment

Prices are shown in Canadian dollars (CAD). The total price is displayed before order submission. No taxes are charged (small supplier not registered for GST/QST). After you submit your order, a PayPal invoice will be sent within 1 to 2 business days. Payment is required before delivery.

04 Delivery

Delivery

Photos are delivered by email or file transfer link to the address provided during the order. Delivery is completed within 10 business days of payment confirmation.

05 Cancellation

Cancellation Rights

Under the Quebec Consumer Protection Act (s. 54.8 and following), you may cancel your order within 7 days of receiving the order summary if the required pre-contractual information was not fully provided. If no summary is received within 15 days of the order, the cancellation period is 30 days. To cancel, use the contact form and include your order number.

06 Refunds

Refunds

If you cancel within the allowed period and payment has already been made, a full refund will be issued within 15 days of the cancellation request. If files have already been delivered, a refund may be offered at the photographer's discretion. If there is a technical issue with delivered files, please contact us for a replacement.

07 Usage licence

Usage License

Purchased photos are licensed for personal use only. You may print, display, and share them on your personal social media. Any commercial use, resale, redistribution, or modification of the photos without prior written authorization from the photographer is prohibited. For a commercial license, use the contact form.
