Images are to be used as agreed at the time of booking and at the time of agreeing the fee. The licence to use is limited to the use and period of time specified on The Photographers booking form and no other use may be made of the Images without the Photographers express permission. An agreement must be reached with The Photographer before Images are used for any other purpose or after the licence to use has expired.

If no representative is present, Photographer’s interpretation shall be accepted. Client shall be bound by all approvals and job changes made by Client’s representatives.
The usage rights granted are personal to the Client and may not be assigned, nor may any image submitted to the Client be loaned or transferred to third parties (save for the purpose of the work by the Client of such reproduction/usage rights/PR).

When a booking is Confirmed, if it is subsequently cancelled, a cancellation fee will be charged to the client according to the following schedule:
When a booking is confirmed, if it is subsequently postponed, the Photographer will at his discretion charge a fee for postponement.
In addition, the client may be charged for any expenses incurred by The Photographer as a result of cancellation or postponement.
The Photographer will endeavour to put the Client in touch with another photographer in the event The Photographer is unable to attend on booked date due to any cause beyond their reasonable control e.g. sudden illness, injury, victim of crime, flooding etc. In the event of such cancellation by The Photographer, or in the very unlikely event of total photographic failure, liability shall be limited to a full refund of any fees paid to the Photographer by the Client at that time.
Unless a rejection fee is agreed in advance, there is no right to reject the Images on the basis of style or composition.
If The Photographer provides a quote to The Client, the fee will be charged at that agreed rate. The Photographer generally requests a brief at the time of booking (via email or verbally).
Where extra expenses or time are incurred or needed by the Photographer as a result of alterations to the original brief by the Client or otherwise at their request, the Photographer will reserve the right to charge the Client extra expenses and fees.
If The Client changes the length of the job, the fee will increase as per the agreed hourly rate. If The Client is delayed or running late and the job runs into extra time again the fee will increase as per the agreed hourly rate. The Photographer will make The Client aware of timings and should the work run into extra time he will make the client aware of this and the associated costs. There is a mutual understanding between The Client and The Photographer that punctuality is important and respected by all parties.
If it becomes apparent when the job starts that it is much bigger or different job to the agreed brief it will be made clear to the Client that The Photographer’s fee may increase. If the Photographer is unable to contact the client/payer of invoice at that time work will stop until contact has been made.
On the occasion that incorrect information is given by the Client regarding a booking (wrong location, wrong time etc.) or the Client fails to arrive at the agreed location/time, the full fee will be charged to the Client.
