Terms of Business - Wedding Photography
What follows is a Summary of the Terms and Conditions contained within the
contract both parties will sign.
Terms and conditions
It is agreed that this contract will govern terms and conditions on which the
Photographers will take images of the Clients wedding (details of which are attached)
and it is agreed for the sake of certainty that this contract together with any written
representations made by the Photographers set out the total contract made between
the parties. No variation or modification of this contract shall be effective unless
agreed by both parties in writing. However this shall not limit the Client’s right to take
action against the Photographers for false or deliberately misleading statements made
verbally by the photographers prior to the signing of this contract.
Booking Fee
A booking fee of 25% of the total agreed fee (‘The Booking Fee’) is charged when the
Client signs this contract. The Booking Fee is non-returnable save where the Client
lawfully terminates the contract or where the Photographers manage to secure an
alternative booking to fill the date vacated by the Client. The Booking Fee is deducted
(in full) from the total price as calculated by totaling fee due and album figures as
detailed in the schedule (‘The Price).
Payment
Following payment of the Booking Fee the remaining balance is due to be paid no later
than 30 days prior to the wedding. Non Payment of the balance by the due date will
make this contract void and the Photographer will be released from his obligation to
photograph the wedding. Should the client wish to retain the services of the
photographer, a subsequent rebooking fee of 10% of the total fee, will be added to the
total bill, which will be due in full at time of rebooking.
Display
The Client hereby allows the Photographers to display any images taken pursuant of
this contract in their studios, portfolios, literature, wedding exhibitions, web sites,
exhibitions, slide shows, competitions and advertising. No use of the images will be
made by the Photographers for other commercial reason except with the written
permission of the Client. For the avoidance of doubt all copyright in the images
are owned absolutely by the Photographer within the provision of the
copyright design and patents act 1988. It is contrary to this act to copy or
allow to be copied photographically, electronically or by any other means any
image created as part of this contract without the express permission of the
Photographers.
Images
All image sizes are nominal. The Photographers will provide a pleasing colour balance
but the Client accepts and agrees the Photographers cannot guarantee exact colour
matching owing to anomalous reflectance caused by a combination of certain dyes
and materials especially in man made fibres and that is sometimes impossible to
record photographically the exact colour seen by the human eye.
Retouching
Retouching, digital manipulation and artiste finishing is available to the client as an
optional extra for an additional price to be agreed.
Reorders
All reorders shall be treated as an extension of this contract and will be charged for at
the Photographers prevailing at the time of reorder. No responsibility for error will be
accepted unless orders are given in writing.
Licence
The Photographers shall be granted artistic licence in relation to the poses
photographed and the locations used. Due to the vagaries of the weather and the
willingness of the subjects it may not be possible to capture all the images requested
by the Client.
Matters Beyond the Parties Control
The due performance or alteration of this contract is subject to alteration or
cancellation by either party owing to any cause beyond their reasonable control.
Limitation of Liability
Neither party shall be liable to the other for any losses that the other suffers as a
result of the breach of the contract unless those losses are a foreseeable consequence
of the breach. The Photographer/s cannot be held liable under this contact where the
Client is unhappy with the composition of any of the photographs where the
Photographer/s has complied with their obligations under clause 7.
Cancellation
The Client may cancel this contract at any time after it has been signed by sending a
written notice to the Photographer/s.
If the Client notifies the Photographer/s more than 120 days before the date of the
wedding is due to take place then the Photographer/s shall reimburse the Client the
whole of the price as is more particularly detailed in clause 10.3.
If the Client notifies the Photographer/s that they wish to cancel the contract at any
time within three months of the date of the wedding then the amount of the price that
the Photographers shall be entitled to shall be calculated in accordance with the table
below (detailing the amount the Photographer/s is entitled to).
1. 0-7 days = 100%
