Conduct
1. I believe that any photo shoot should be fun for all; the best way we can ensure this is by exercising mutual respect for each other’s time, property, beliefs and abilities. I therefore reserve the right to terminate a photo shoot where I believe that this fundamental principle has been breached.
2. Where a shoot has been terminated (as described above) I reserve the right to withhold any payments already made.
Lateness
1. Please be punctual for your shoot. I ask that you contact me immediately should you realise you may be late or need to reschedule.
2. If you are up to 15 minutes late for your appointment we can continue on the basis that I will try to add extra time at the end of the session. Please be advised however that this may not always be possible and you may lose valuable time.
3. If you are more than 15 minutes late for your appointment you will be offered the opportunity to reschedule within 6 months of the original date (pending availability). Should this not be convenient or possible you will be refunded any payment made over the agreed 50% non-refundable deposit and expenses payment (where applicable).
4. If you are late for a collaborative shoot we will try and continue without you, should this not be possible the session may have to be cancelled in which case all monies paid in advanced may be lost. In such a situation I will not be liable for any payments you have made towards the shoot or any additional costs against yourself as a result of cancelling the shoot.
Cancellations
1. In the event that you need to cancel your appointment you will be offered the opportunity to reschedule your session within 6 months of the original agreed date (pending availability). Should this not be convenient or possible you will be refunded any payment made over the agreed 50% non-refundable deposit and expenses payment (where applicable).
2. If you need to withdraw from a collaborative shoot we will try and find a replacement for you; If we are able to do so any monies paid in advanced will be refunded to you. If however we cannot find a replacement or if we have to cancel the shoot as a result of your withdrawal you may lose any payments you have made. In such a situation I will not be liable for refunding any money you have paid towards the shoot or any additional costs against yourself as a result of cancelling the shoot.
3. In the unlikely event that I have to cancel your appointment you will be offered an alternative booking. Should this not be convenient or possible you will be offered a full refund including any expenses payment made.
