payment schedule / fees
The client agrees to pay the photographer a non-refundable initial payment (session/booking fee) upon signing the contract to confirm the booking and secure the date. The session/booking fee will be deducted from the total fee.
The remaining balance is due to be paid no later than on the day of the photo delivery. If the fee is unpaid, the photographer reserves the right to withhold any services, images and merchandise. If the client cancels the shoot for any reason, the booking fee will not be returned to the client.
The photographer must deliver the photos in a reasonable amount of time after the client has made the final order. The client understands and agrees that prints (if required) take longer for delivery.
cancellation
All fees are non-refundable if the shoot is cancelled by the client. All cancellations must be in writing.
location permits
The client is responsible for acquiring all permits and necessary permission for all locations on which the photographer is performing services. The photographer has no duty to obtain permission from reception centres, buildings, properties, or other locations to operate thereon. The client understands and agrees that if any failure to obtain these permissions results in fines to the photographer, or prevents the photographer from photographing the session, is not the fault, liability, or responsibility of the photographer. The photographer is limited by the rules and guidelines of the location(s) and site management.
coverage
The photographer provides coverage for the dates, locations and continuous hours specified in the contract. Additional travel or coverage hours may be added by agreement on the day and must be paid in full before any photos or products are released to the client. The photographer will use her professional judgment and sole discretion to select which photos to deliver. Photographs taken during the event will be at the discretion of the photographer although every effort will be made to comply with the client’s requirements.
schedule and cooperation
Both the client and the photographer agree that punctuality and cooperation are essential to accomplishing the goals and wishes of all parties within the understanding of this contract. Shooting commences at the scheduled start time and ends at the scheduled end time.

All final post-production and editing styles, effects and overall look of the images are left to the discretion of the photographer. The client may request further changes for an additional charge.
prints
Prints are produced by the photographer per a request if not included in the agreed package. The photographer is not responsible for any prints that are not ordered directly from her. However, for best results, the photographer recommends that the client should order the prints through a reputable lab using the high-resolution files provided by the photographer.
retouching

The usage rights granted are personal to the client and may not be assigned, nor may any image submitted to the client be loaned or transferred to third parties, if not previously agreed otherwise.

One Time Use Rights – the right to use images one time only, for one specific purpose to the client as described in the contract.
All rights are non-exclusive rights of use unless agreed otherwise in the contract.
exclusivity
