AGREEMENT TERMS & CONDITIONS
Entire Agreement: This agreement contains the entire understanding between the Clients and the Photographer.
Confirmation: A signed “Contract for Photography Services” and payment of the booking fee are necessary to confirm the stated wedding services from the Photographer.
Pre Consultation: This normally happens at an agreed time and location just after the booking is made. The Clients will outline broadly what is required and the Photographer will advise on planning, logistics and timings where needed. If required, the Clients are welcome to pop in for an additional chat closer to the time of the Photoshoot (about 2 weeks) to iron out the remaining details. In any case we will contact you by phone a few days before the photoshoot to ensure that there have been no last-minute changes.
Cooperation: The Clients and the Photographer consent to happily cooperating and communicating with each other to achieve the best possible result within the understanding of this contract. We recommend that the Photographer be provided with a helper, who will point out key individuals to be photographed. The Photographer may also require the assistance of the people in the Photoshoot in organising family groups. Please note that not all people like having their photo taken. In such cases the Photographer will use his discretion but cannot be held responsible for a lack of photos of these people.
The Schedule: Our shooting schedule, style of working and experience are designed to achieve a great set of photos for the Clients, accomplished with good humour and enjoyed by all concerned. Both the Clients and the Photographers therefore agree that punctuality and cheerful cooperation are essential to producing outstanding photographic results. In cases where the photoshoot does not run on time (for example, extreme lateness by one of the Clients arriving to the studio or location) we cannot guarantee to take our normal set of photos although in such circumstances we will do our absolute best to compensate.
House Rules: Note the Photographers are sometimes limited by rules imposed by parks, common areas, privately owned property and venue management as to what can and cannot be done. For example, some parks insist that no flash photography is allowed, and others will insist that the Photographers shoot from a specific location. In such circumstances the Clients agree to accept the technical limitations that may be imposed on the equipment used. We advise the Clients to make themselves aware of the rules of the venue concerned and if necessary, negotiate with the personnel concerned.
Copyright Law: The copyright of photographs remains with the Photographer. The Photographer grants the Clients permission to make copies of the images under the following conditions. The images taken by the Photographer are for personal use by the Clients and their friends and relatives. Sale, Publication, or any Commercial use of the photographs is not allowed without prior written permission from the Photographer.
Model Release: The Clients grant the Photographer and its legal representatives, heirs and assigns, the irrevocable and unlimited consent to use the photographs of the Clients for editorial, competition, advertising and any other purpose and in any manner, to alter the photographs without restriction; and to copyright the images. This is done through our Hunter Productions & Photography Google page, Our Hunter Productions & Photography Facebook page, Our Hunter Productions & Photography Instagram page and our Hunter Productions & Photography website. The Clients hereby release the Photographer and its legal representatives, heirs and assigns from all liability and claims in connection with the images.
Limit of Liability: If a photographer is too ill or becomes injured and cannot supply the photography services specified above the Photographer will try to book a replacement photographer. Under normal circumstances a second photographer from the Photographer is there for the day anyway and this photographer will then shoot the day on his/her own. If both photographers are unavailable and a replacement photographer cannot be found, then liability is limited to a refund of any payments received. The Photographers have working methods in place to prevent loss or damage to your images. However, there is the unlikely possibility that images may be lost, stolen, or destroyed for reasons in or beyond our control. In these circumstances liability is limited to the return of fees paid for the service or part thereof according to the percentage of images supplied.
Accommodation Needs: If for any reason that the location of photoshoot requires the photographer/s to need accommodation, the client agrees to cover the cost of the accommodation and the cost will be added to the package and presented to the client for approval.
Travel Times. If the Photoshoot is further than 1 hour away the client will be charged a $50,00 p/h travel fee.
Booking Fee/Deposit: In the event of the Clients cancelling the photoshoot for whatever reason the booking fee is non-refundable. It will be considered as liquidated damages to the Photographers.
Entire Agreement: This agreement contains the entire understanding between Hunter Productions & Photography and Client. It supersedes all prior agreements between parties. The only way to add or change this agreement is to do so in writing, signed by all parties. If the parties want to waive one provision of this agreement, it does not mean that any other provision is also waived.
We have understood the contents of this contract and agree to the terms therein.
