The Session fee is due within one week of booking your session to secure your session date. By signing this contract you are agreeing to pay the session fee to ensure your date.

 

By signing this contract you are also agreeing to the following:

No images or products shall be provided before payment is made in full.

Cameras, including cell phone cameras, and recording devices may not be used during our session.

There is no guarantee of the number of images presented from a session. Many factors contribute to this, including the cooperativeness of the subject.

As an artist, The Photographer reserves the right to artistically interpret what she sees and in what way she chooses to photograph a scene. This may mean that some shots are color, some are B&W. Images presented to the client are the only images available.

If the subject is a minor you are certifying that you are legally able to give consent for the minor child.

Maggie Jill Photography may use such images with or without your name for any lawful purposes, including but not limited to publicity, illustration, advertising, and web content.

Due to the artistic nature of custom photography all sales are final.

 

Terms and Conditions:

1. Retainer Fee and Payment. The Client shall pay the retainer fee upon booking a session. The balance must be paid prior to receiving the final edited images. Both fees are payable via cash, check or PayPal.
2. Shooting Time. The client agrees that punctuality is essential to the success of a session. Shooting commences at the scheduled start time and ends at the scheduled end time. If the Client does not arrive at the appointed time for the session, the number of minutes late will be deducted from the end of the session and the end time will remain the same.
3. Cancellation. Cancellations are accepted up until 2 weeks prior to your scheduled session, and you may use your session fee towards another session within 12 months. If a cancellation is made less than 2 weeks from your scheduled session, your retainer fee is forfeited.
4. Proofs. The Photographer will deliver an online gallery of soft proofs to The Client within one week of the session via an online gallery. The Client understands and agrees that these proofs are the exclusive property of the Photographer and The Client has no right to these photos except to review them and select the final images for purchase. The Client agrees not to save, screen shot or disseminate these proofs. The online gallery of proofs will be available for one week from the date posted. If the Client wishes to extend the online gallery of proofs for any reason an additional $25/per week will be charged. If  The Client has not selected their images and made final payment within 30 days of the session date, all images will be destroyed and any payments already collected by the Photographer will NOT be returned. 
   
5. Turnaround Time. Final edited images will be available for download approximately 2-3 weeks after final payment has been received. Although this is approximate, The Photographer will make every effort to provide images within this timeframe and will notify The Client if for any reason there will be a significant delay.
   
6. File Storage. The Photographer's workflow includes external drive storage to safeguard client images. 90 days from the date of the session, all images will be purged from photographer’s systems, except as needed for promotional purposes, to be determined by photographer at their sole discretion. The Photographer is not responsible for loss or damage to the digital files due to circumstances beyond their control. It is advised that clients take proper measures to back up images immediately upon receipt which may include offsite backup, USB storage in a fireproof safe, or an online storage system to avoid loss from natural disasters and/or technology failures.
7. Allergies. Cakes for the Cake Smash session are made by a third party. It is the responsibility of the client to inform the photographer of any allergies upon booking. The photographer will not be held liable in the event that a child is found to be allergic to or sick from any of the ingredients used to make the cake.
   
8. Copyright. The Photographer shall own the copyright of all images created.
9. Clients Usage. The client is obtaining prints for personal use only, and shall not sell said prints or authorize any reproductions thereof by parties other than the Photographer. When sharing images on any social media sites, credit must be given to the Photographer. The client may not alter the images in any way including but not limited to filtering, cropping and converting to black and white, even for personal use.
   
10. Failure to Perform. If the Photographer cannot perform this Agreement due to a fire or other casualty, act of God or other cause beyond the control of the parties, or due to the Photographer’s illness, then the Photographer shall return the retainer to the Client but shall have no further liability with respect to the Agreement. This limitation on liability shall also apply in the event that photographic materials are damaged in processing, lost through camera or computer malfunction, lost in the mail, or otherwise lost or damaged without fault on the part of the Photographer. In the event the Photographer fails to perform for any other reason, the Photographer shall not be liable for any amount in excess of the retail value of the Client’s order.
11. Photographer’s Standard Price List.  The charges in this Agreement are based on the current fees. The fees are adjusted periodically and future sessions shall be charged at the prices in effect at the time when the session is booked.
12. Miscellany. This Agreement incorporates the entire understanding of the parties. Any modifications of this Agreement must be in writing and signed by both parties. Any waiver of a breach or default hereunder shall not be deemed a waiver of a subsequent breach or default of either the same provision or any other provision of this Agreement. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Massachusetts.
