This Agreement constitutes an order for wedding photography as agreed by both parties: Dadis Photography the Photographer and the Contracting Party the Client. It is mutually agreed that the Photographer shall provide services and/or goods as specified and that the Client shall pay the amount due for the said services and/or goods on the due date set out on the booking form.
DEPOSIT: The Booking fee of £150 secures the time and services of the Photographer for the wedding and is non-refundable or transferable in the event of cancellation, it being the agreed loss suffered by the photographer due to cancellation. Weddings that are postponed to a later date will retain the fee as long as the photographer can re-schedule for the new date and time.
BALANCE PAYMENT: The balance of the wedding package is to be paid no later than 14 days prior to the date of the wedding ceremony. Payment for additional wedding book pages and prints is to be made after the wedding at the time of ordering.
CREATIVE LICENCE: The Photographer shall be granted creative and artistic licence in relation to the choice of locations and poses used. The Photographer's judgment on photographic style and the number of photographs taken shall be deemed correct. Style and number of photographs are dependent on changes of the weather and the availability and willingness of subjects. The Photographer will endeavour to honour requested photographs but does not undertake to guarantee any specific photograph nor incorporate any specific background, location or group arrangement.
COPYRIGHT: The entire copyright of the photographs is retained by the Photographer at all times throughout the world. Any images or copies of images whether stored digitally or otherwise on any computer programme including any source or object code, computer files or printed documentation relating to such images are protected by the Copyright and Design Act 1988 (the Act). It is contrary to the Act to copy or allow copies of an image created as part of this agreement (whether in print form electronically or by other means) without the written permission of the Photographer. The Photographer grants the Client a licence to use the images for personal display and printing purposes only.
EXCLUSIVITY: The Photographer shall be the sole professional (still) photographer at the venue specified. Family, friends, and other guests are however, positively encouraged to take photographs throughout the day provided that they do not affect the Photographer from taking and producing the images he requires.
IMAGES: Although the Photographer will endeavour to produce more images than is discussed with the Client, there is no guarantee that any particular number of images will be produced. The Photographer will provide a colour balance but cannot guarantee exact colour matching due to anomalous reflectance caused by a combination of certain dyes and materials especially man-made fibres. The Client acknowledges that it is sometimes impossible to record the exact colour as seen by the human eye.
PROJECT COMPLETION: Under normal circumstances it is expected that the final product will be completed within 4 weeks of the event date. This may vary due to equipment issues in the editing process, maintenance, heavy bookings or holiday periods. Under such extreme and unlikely circumstances this may be extended to a further 1 month at the discretion of the Photographer. Edits pushed beyond this final time frame will be entitled to appropriate delay refunds.
However, the Photographer will not be held responsible for delays that are a result of the Client failing to submit relevant information, soundtracks, payments or any other component dependent upon the project being completed.
DISPLAY: The Photographer reserve the right to display any photograph covered by this contract to generally promote the business in advertising, brochures, magazine articles, websites, sample albums and prints, venue and other vendor samples, and other such material, providing that the images used are used lawfully and without damage to the Client.
CANCELLATION: The Client may cancel this agreement at any time by giving written notice to the Photographer. In all instances, notification of cancellation will be effective on the date received by the Photographer. If the Client cancels for any reason after a period of 14 days from the date of booking the following fees will apply:
- The Initial £150 booking fee is non-refundable
- 8 weeks notice of cancellation 50% of remaining final package cost
- 2 weeks notice of cancellation 100% of final package cost
Should the Client wish to postpone the wedding then, subject to the Photographer's availability, all monies paid may be applied to the new wedding date. In this case, the total fees chargeable shall be fees that apply at that time. In the event that the Photographer is unable to take another wedding booking on the Client's cancelled or postponed date then the above cancellation fees will apply. The Photographer recommends wedding insurance so that any unforeseen events are covered.
FORCE MAJEURE: In the unlikely event of total photographic failure, injury or sickness beyond control, his liability shall be limited to a full refund of all monies paid. Your statutory rights are not affected. The Photographer has full Public Liability, and Professional Indemnity Insurance.
