TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Please read carefully through the below T&C’s for your Mini Branding Session.

PHOTO SESSIONS

By booking this appointment & paying the invoice you are agreeing to the following:

• No images or services shall be provided before the payment of £85 is made in full.
• The booking fee for the Mini Session is not refundable. If the client needs to cancel, the booking fee will not be refunded, if the client cancels more than 7 days before the session takes place the fee can be transferred to another package or a future Mini Session. Unless they booked an indoor mini session, in that case, the location fee of £35 needs to be deducted.
• 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, I reserve the right to artistically interpret what I see and in what ways I choose to photograph a scene. This may mean that some shots are colour and some are B&W. Images presented to the client are the only images available.
• If the client is more than 10 minutes late and has made no contact with the photographer (email, text or phone call), the session will be considered cancelled and the booking fee will be lost.
• I agree that Nicole Engelmann Photography may use the images with or without my name for any lawful purposes, including but not limited to publicity, illustration, advertising, and web content.
• If you postpone your shoot (in the allocated time of 7 days before the shoot), the new date must be within 9 months or the fee is considered lost.
• If the client cancels or postpones a photoshoot three times, the booking fee will then be considered lost.
• Any and all orders must be made within 60 days of the photoshoot. Once the order has been received, unless otherwise specified (and agreed upon with the photographer) all the originals will be discarded and no other orders will be available to order. If prices per image or print change, the client must pay the current prices of the date that the order is made.
• If the 60 days have passed, up to the photographer’s discretion (if the RAW files are still accessible), the gallery can be re-opened for a maximum of 1 week.


SOCIAL MEDIA POLICY

You are free to share any of your final photos on any social media platforms. The client will not alter/apply filters to the photos. Giving credit to Photo by Nicole Engelmann (@londonbrandingphotos) when posting on social media is appreciated.

PAYMENT

CANCELLATION

If Client cancels less than 7 days before the Mini Session, the booking fee will be lost and not be transferable to another session. No refunds will be issued unless the cancellation was made more than 7 days before the scheduled session and the Photographer is able to book another client instead. The rescheduled session must take place within 9 months of cancelling or postponing your session. If Client booked an indoor session the location fee of £45 cannot be transferred to a new date unless the Photographer is able to book another client instead.

If the images will be published as part of a book (e.g. an author photo) an additional fee according to current industry standards will be charged.


FAILURE TO PERFORM

If the Photographer cannot perform this Agreement due to a fire or other casualty, strike, acts of God, or other cause beyond the control of the parties, or due to the Photographer’s illness, then the Photographer shall return the booking fee 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.
