Terms and Conditions of Wedding Contract

It is agreed that this contract will govern terms and conditions on which the Photographer/s will take images of the Client’s 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 Photographer/s 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 Photographer/s for false or deliberately misleading statements made verbally by the Photographer/s prior to signing this contract.

1. Booking Fee
A booking fee of £100 (“The Booking Fee”) is charged when the Client agrees to this contract. The Booking Fee is non-­refundable save Where the Client lawfully terminates the Contract. The Booking Fee is deducted (in full) from the total price as calculated by totalling fee due and album figures as detailed in the Schedule (“The Price”).

2. Payment
Following payment of the Booking Fee the remaining balance is due to be paid on or before 1 week prior. Payment for additional images is to be made when they are ordered for the prices stated upon order. Additional images are not included in the Price.

The Client hereby allows the Photographer/s to display any image/s taken pursuant to this contract in their studios, portfolios, literature, wedding exhibitions and advertising.

The digital images supplied under this contract shall be free of any copyright restrictions, with a copyright waiver document.

4. Images
All image sizes are nominal. The Photographer/s will provide a pleasing colour balance but the Client accepts and agrees the Photographer/s 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 it is sometimes impossible to record photographically the exact colour seen by the human eye.

5. Retouching
Retouching, digital manipulation and artiste finishing is available to the Client as an optional extra for an additional price to be agreed.

6. Reorders
All reorders shall be treated as an extension of this contract and will be charged for at the Photographer/s prices prevailing at the time of reorder. No responsibility for error will be accepted unless orders are given in writing.

7.4 Notwithstanding the provisions of Clauses 7.1, 7.2 and 7.3 if, for any reason, the Photographer/s reasonably deem it unreasonable in the circumstances to take the images which have been requested in the Specification then the Photographer/s shall exercise their right to take such images as they consider appropriate in the circumstances.

7.5 lf in the reasonable opinion of the Photographer/s, the Client does not provide a written list of sufficient detail to enable the Photographer/s to comply with the Specification (or if the Client does not provide such a list at all), within the time scale detailed at 7.2 then the Photographer/s may exercise their discretion and take such images with the Client.
