Terms And Conditions
All images captured by PhotographyDM are protected under copyright law. The photographer retains full ownership and copyright of all images, whether delivered digitally or in print.
The Client is granted personal usage rights to view, share with family and friends, and print the images for personal purposes.
However, the Client may not alter,
edit, crop, recolor, or make any changes to the original images without the express written consent of the photographer. This includes the use of filters or edits made on social media platforms.
Images may not be used for commercial purposes, sold, or published without written permission from the photographer.
The photographer reserves the right to use images for promotional purposes, including but not limited to websites, social media, marketing materials, and portfolio displays, unless otherwise agreed in writing by both parties prior to the event.
Payment Terms: To reserve your date, a 50% non-refundable deposit is necessary, securing both time and services. In case of cancellation, this deposit is non-transferable and covers the photographer's loss. The remaining balance is due 14 days before the session date, payable via bank transfer or cash. Full payment is required before photo release. Please provide payment confirmation.
Please arrive promptly for your photo session. If you anticipate being late, kindly inform me in advance. Please note that your session will begin at the scheduled time, regardless of arrival time. Arriving late may result in a shorter session and fewer final images. If you are more than 30 minutes late, the session will be cancelled, and the full session fee will be forfeited. Rescheduling will be subject to availability and additional cost. Thank you for your understanding.
For sessions over 50 miles from Warminster BA12 9DW, traveling expenses and toll-gate costs will be quoted separately. Please reach out for more information regarding these additional expenses.
Please be advised that for all Wedding Packages, if the event venue is over 60 miles (or one hour's drive) from the Photographer's office Warminster BA12 9DW, the Client is responsible for providing suitable accommodation for the Photographer and an assistant, if needed. Accommodation charges are not included in the quote and will be billed separately.
Your photoshoot can take place at your home or any chosen location. If you opt for a venue, it should be arranged by you, as the Photographer will not cover any venue hire fees. Please note that any damages caused to the property during the session will be the client's responsibility.
Rescheduling/Cancellation Policy: To reschedule, please notify us at least 7 days before your session. For outdoor/weather-dependent sessions, we'll advise rescheduling if weather conditions are unsuitable. Your session will be moved to the next available date at no extra cost. If you cancel your booking, your deposit will be forfeited.
Delivery: Upon completion, the Client will receive a private online gallery via email for downloading their session. The gallery will remain available online for 14 days. The retouching and editing process typically takes between 2 to 8 weeks, depending on the package. The Photographer will select the best images for editing and upload them to the Client's private gallery as High-Resolution JPEGs. If the Client requires a memory stick due to lack of internet access, please notify the Photographer at least 1 week in advance. Any courier fees for product delivery are not included in the quote and are the responsibility of the Client. Please note that RAW images remain the property of PhotographyDM, and no unedited images will be released.
Display: The Client grants permission for the Photographer to display and promote images for advertising, publicity, websites, exhibitions, competitions, magazine articles, and other media. This includes lawful use on social media platforms, where the Client may be tagged or identified unless otherwise agreed in writing. The Photographer agrees to use the material responsibly and without causing harm to the Client.
Failure to Perform: In the event that the Photographer is unable to provide photographic services due to circumstances beyond her control, such as illness, unforeseen events, or equipment issues, the session may need to be rescheduled. If the Photographer is unable to complete the coverage, another photographer may be appointed on her behalf, if available. If this is not possible, any fees paid by the Client will be returned, and the Photographer will not be liable for further damages beyond the amount of this Agreement. This limitation of liability also applies in cases where images are lost or damaged due to equipment malfunction or other unforeseen circumstances.
