Terms and Conditions

Terms Of Business
It is mutually agreed that the following terms of agreement form an integral part of this contract and that no variation or modification of this contract shall be effective unless accepted by the photographer in writing.

Booking fee
A deposit payment amounting to 50% of the total option fee chosen secures the time and services of the photographer for the wedding (50% of the deposit constitutes a non-refundable retainer-the remaining balance will only be refunded providing twelve weeks notice of cancellation has been given in writing). 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. Bookings are made strictly on a first come first served basis. Dates will only be reserved upon receipt of a full deposit.

Payments
The remainder of the booking fee is due to be paid on delivery of the preview images. Please note the preview images will not be released without the final payment. Payment for all albums, re-prints and enlargements must be paid for in full at the time of ordering. All prices include VAT at the current rate. The client may order as many photographs for their album as they require, within the constraints of the page size and number of pages ordered.

Display
I/we the client hereby agree to allow the photographer to display any photographs covered by this contract in his studio, portfolio, internet site, display areas, exhibitions, competitions or slide shows. Should there be any difficulties with this please raise them prior to the wedding.

Photographs
All photograph 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 the exact colour of materials as seen by the human eye, therefore all colour balances are purely perceptional.

Copyright
The 1988 Copyright Design and Patents Act section 77 & 80 assigns the copyright of the photographs taken, to the photographer. It is contrary to the Act and an offence to copy or allow to be copied, the photographs covered by thiscontract by any means.

Force Majeure
The due performance of the work detailed above is subject to the photographer's alteration or cancellation owing to any cause beyond his control. In the unlikely event of
the photographer's cancellation the following will apply;

A. arrangements will be made for another photographer of comparable qualification to cover the event with agreed fees remaining unchanged.

B. If this is not possible a full refund will be given of all monies paid to the date of
cancellation.

Negatives
The negatives remain the property of the photographer.
