Terms and Conditions
Booking a shoot
In order to secure a photo shooting session, a date reservation fee of 50% of the total is payable upon booking my services. This fee is non-refundable, however I will aim to accommodate for any unforeseen circumstances that may arise. If for any reason the shoot has to be cancelled on the basis of Tim Vasvi Photography not being able to carry out the services booked, a full refund will be offered if an alternative shoot date cannot be agreed upon.
If you need to change a booking date, please inform us at least 72 hours prior to your shoot. An administration fee of £50 may be applicable if sufficient notice is not given.
Studio based photo shoots carry an additional down payment to secure a studio session as well as the 50% date reservation fee which applies to all other services. As studios are booked externally, this is non-refundable. This down payment will be dependant upon the studios fees.
Lateness
I will always try my best to arrive at a shoot within a dedicated time frame which will be arranged at the booking stage. If the shoot is a Location Based photo shoot, please try to ensure you arrive at the location with plenty of time to prepare prior to shooting. This helps both parties as a rushed and flustered preparation doesn’t leave you very relaxed, and this will come across in the photo’s
Limitation of Liability
The photographer’s entire liability to the client for any breach of an agreement, the unlikely event of a total photographic failure, claim, loss or injury is limited to a refund of the amount paid for services. Neither party shall be liable for indirect or consequential loss.
In the unlikely event of the photographer is unable to complete the coverage due to unforeseen circumstances, the photographer reserves the right to appoint another photographer to attend on his behalf to undertake the photography.
All contracts are based on the assumption that the undersigned have read and understood the contract and agree to the terms and conditions in their entirety.
Rights of Ownership and Reproduction
A copyright licence is granted for the images provided in high resolution for printing and sharing on social networks for personal use only. Any further use requires an additional licence to be obtained in agreement with Tim Vasvi Photography. The client agrees to hold Tim Vasvi harmless against any and all claims arising from any published images.
Tim Vasvi may reproduce, publish or exhibit a judicious selection of photographs as samples of this work to be shown to prospective clients and for instructional or institutional purposes consistent with the highest standards of taste and judgment.
Tim Vasvi owns and retains original images produced in connection with this agreement. However, because of limited controlled storage facilities and for liability reasons, they will not be retained by Tim Vasvi for more than 12 months after the wedding.
Capture, Post Production and Editing
Tim Vasvi Photography is not liable to deliver every image taken during a photo session unless this is otherwise agreed upon by both parties before the contract is signed. The determination of images delivered to the client is left to the sole discretion of Tim Vasvi Photography on the understanding that the best professional judgement is used.
The final post production and editing styles, effects and overall look of the images are left to the discretion of Tim Vasvi Photography as per the granting of both creative and artistic license in accordance with this agreement.
Due to changes of the weather and the availability and willingness of subjects Tim Vasvi Photography will do their best to honour requested photographs but do not undertake to guarantee any specific picture nor incorporate any specific background, location or group arrangement.
Hair and Make-up
Hair & Make-Up services are available on request for an additional fee. Please note that make-up artists are bought in on a per-request basis. Their services may need to be paid for up-front. This will be discussed with you during the booking stage. Make-up artists fees are additional to the compulsory date reservation fee of 50% when booking a photo shoot session.
Delivery
I aim to provide digital copies of images for corporate clients within the time scales indicated below. If copies are also required on digital media, these will be sent via post once digital copies have been received. The time scales given are to ensure quality standards are met and maintained.
In most cases, Personal clients will receive both printed and digital media of their photographic images within the time scales indicated below. However these time scales can be affected by the number of airbrushed images and prints ordered due to the outsourcing of our printing process to an external photographic lab.
