It is agreed that the following terms set out the total agreement made between the parties and that no variation or modification of this contract shall be effective unless agreed by both parties in writing.

Booking fee (Deposit) The Booking Fee secures the time and services of the Photographer for the photography and is non refundable or transferable in the event of cancellation, it being the agreed loss suffered by the Photographer due to cancellation. Photography that must be postponed to a later date will retain the deposit as long as the Photographer can re-schedule for the new date and time but may be subject to a further deposit.

Payments Following payment of the booking fee, the balance of payments must be paid on, or before the Event date. Proofs/photographs cannot be delivered unless payments due have been paid in full. Payments for additional services/albums are due upon ordering of those items.

Display The Photographer may display any photographs included in this contract in his/her studio, portfolio, literature, display areas exhibitions, competitions, advertising or slide shows, and websites unless otherwise agreed by the parties involved.

Images All image sizes are nominal. The Photographer will provide a pleasing colour balance but cannot guarantee exact colour matching owing to anomalous reflectance caused by a combination of certain dyes and materials especially man-made fibres. It is sometimes impossible to record on film/sensor the exact colour as seen by the human eye.

Retouching The Photographer will retouch, digitally manipulate and finish according to his/her own discretion. Any retouching, digital manipulation or finishing which is requested by the Client(s) may be subject to an extra charge at the discretion of the Photographer.

Reorders All reorders shall be treated as an extension of this contract and no responsibility for error will be accepted unless orders are given in writing.

It is contrary to the Act to copy or allow to be copied photographically/electronically or by any other means an image created as part of this contract without the permission of the Photographer in writing. It is understood, however, that if a CD Rom of said images is purchased as part of this contract, that the Client(s) will have the right to reproduce the images therein for personal use only and not for distribution of any kind.

License The Photographer will be granted artistic license in relation to the poses photographed and the locations used. The Photographer’s judgement regarding the location/poses and number of images shall be deemed correct. Due to the unpredictability of the weather and the willingness of subjects it may be impossible to capture all of the images requested.

Cancellation The client may cancel this contract at any time by giving written notice to the photographer but in doing so shall forfeit any monies already paid. Cancellation less than seven days before the event date will result in payment in full by the client for the agreed package.
