No exception can be made as we cannot be held responsible for individual tastes or exceptions. Once an order has been placed, we will not offer a refund.

b) Due to the nature of the product we are unable to give exchanges or refunds. This does not affect your statutory rights.

Photographs: All image sizes are nominal. The photographer will provide a pleasing colour balance, as previewed before ordering but cannot guarantee exact colour matching owing to anomalous reflectance caused by a combination of certain dyes and materials especially man-made fibres. It is sometimes impossible to record on film/digital media the exact colour as seen by the human eye. All printing is undertaken within the technical limitations of the process; colours may not be identical between subjects and may appear differently on viewing screens and papers. All photographs will, in time, fade, particularly if they are left in bright sunlight and are not behind glass. The Photographer cannot accept any responsibility for this gradual image deterioration. All portraits purchased are presumed to have been received in good condition unless the Client notifies The Photographer in writing of any discrepancy or error within 2 days of receipt.

Payment: Full payment must be made before any orders placed into production, via cash, card or payment plan. Payment plans are available via GoCardless and a separate plan agreement will be provided should you choose this option. Payment Plans and Credit cards will incur a surcharge at the current provider’s rates, which will appear on your invoice.

Reprint Orders – All re-orders shall be treated as an extension of this contract. No responsibility for error will be accepted if orders are given in writing.

Artistic License: We shall be granted artistic license with respect to the poses, backgrounds, lighting and props used. Every effort will be made to satisfy the wishes of the client after discussions with them and accommodate all the photographic shots required

Force Majeure: In extreme circumstances we may be forced to alter or cancel this contract owing to a cause beyond our reasonable control (e.g. act of God, sudden illness, injury, accident, victim of crime or major incident). In the unlikely event of our cancellation, or a total photographic failure a re-shoot may be arranged. Our liability is limited to a full refund of any fees paid. The Photographer has full Public Liability and Professional Indemnity Insurance.

Cancellation Fees: In the event of you needing to cancel your booking, we ask for 48 hours’ notice. In the event that you have to cancel at short notice (i.e. less than 48 hours) we will re-book your session for another mutually convenient time, and your deposit shall be used against the new booking date, however we can only do this once. Any further cancellations will result in the retention of your deposit. If the Photographer has to cancel the appointment for reasons beyond our control (injury, death sickness, etc.), our liability shall be limited to a full refund of all monies paid.

Client Usage Rights/Copyrights: This contract is governed by English Law and the jurisdiction of the English courts. UK Law assigns the copyright of all images to The Photographer under the Copyright and Design Act 1988. It is therefore illegal to copy, scan, alter or otherwise acquire any images without explicit written consent from the Photographer. The Client shall be granted permission post images on social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter. It is a breach of this contract to crop/hide studio logo or otherwise edit or crop the images.
