Terms and Conditions
BOOKING & PAYMENT
When a service is agreed (after an initial consultation), an invoice and a contract, detailing milestones and payment will be sent out at this time. It is important that milestones are agreed by all parties involved, so that the client and myself are clear when work is expected to be completed. This includes when I expect to receive any documents from the client so I can schedule my time effectively. A deposit will be taken at this time to secure the date and the service. This is non-refundable for events cancelled less than 4 weeks before. If you are forced to cancel, due to exceptional circumstances, we may agree to postpone the engagement to a mutually agreed future date (subject to availability). Work will not commence until the contract is returned signed by the client.
Any additional work requested by the client, which is not agreed upon in the originally contract/invoice will be considered as a new service. A new invoice will be issued.
For photography events the remaining balance is payable when the online gallery is ready which will be within four weeks of the event.
Film and Digital Marketing services, a second invoice will be issued after the project is completed, these must be paid within 30 days. After this time an addition 10% will be added to invoices.
Tutoring services can be paid weekly or at the end of each month.
TRAVEL/AREAS I COVER
Travel will be included within the initial quote. I am open to travel in the UK and Europe, dependant on COVID-19 restrictions.
CREATIVE LICENCE
Photo/Film
I offer to capture canid moments and the occasional staged image. I will work in the background of events and occasions to facilitate this service. I will use my expertise to story-tell the activities/events described on the booking form and as discussed in person to undertake services agreed upon.
I cannot guarantee that every moment/event/person will be captured or that a certain number of acceptable images or footage will be taken. I retain final creative control in relation to the number, type and quality of images, footage and post-production services.
If you require re-edits of any material, this will be subject to an additional charge.
Digital Marketing
Digital Marketing services will be discussed via booking form and in person. Desired outcomes with be agreed upon at this stage and further briefs/requests will be subject to an additional charge.

You agree to notify any venues of your intent to photograph and/or film and arrange all the required permissions. Please notify us as soon as possible if there are any restrictions such as the use of flash, that may affect the desired outcomes so alternative solutions can be found beforehand.
CONSENT
The lead booker is responsible for notifying any parties involved of your intent to take photos or footage and have sought their consent. Please advise them to view my Privacy Policy so they are aware of how their information and image will be stored. For any images/footage or digital content I would like to use on my online channels I will issue a model release. On return of signed forms, content will be used across multi-channel platforms.
FORCE MAJEURE
In the unlikely event that we are unable to comply with our obligations (eg total equipment failure, injury, sickness or any other cause) or we are forced to cancel this agreement, our liability shall be limited to a full refund of any monies paid by you to us. If possible we will make best endeavour to find another mutually suitable date.
