These Terms apply exclusively to commercial photography, creative direction, and copyright licensing services rendered by ElleDi Creative SAS to business clients, corporations, and institutions (B2B).

2. Quotes and Order Confirmation

All assignments require a formal written quotation valid for 30 days. An order is confirmed upon receipt by ElleDi Creative of the signed quote bearing the mention "Approved", along with an advance deposit payment of 30% to 50% of the total pre-tax contract value.
