Terms & Conditions

It is agreed that the following terms set out the total agreement made between the parties and that no variation or modification of this contract shall be effective unless agreed by both parties in writing.

These Terms & Conditions are set out by Deb's Photography Studio - Also Known by Lythgoe Photos

Deposits

The deposit is non-refundable if a cancellation occurs. Should cancellation take place within 24 hours of the session, the full payment may be required. However, deposits may be transferred up to two times, provided that 24 hours' notice is given.

Display

The Photographer may exhibit any photographs covered by this contract in their studio, on their website, in their portfolio, literature, display areas, exhibitions, competitions, advertisements, or slide shows. All image sizes are approximate. The Photographer will strive for a pleasing colour balance but cannot guarantee an exact colour match due to the unique reflection properties of certain dyes and materials, particularly synthetic fibres. It is often unfeasible to capture on film or digitally the precise colour as perceived by the human eye.

Retouching

 All images will undergo adjustments for exposure, brightness, contrast, sharpness, and more. The Photographer's discretion on these corrections and the selection of images presented to the Client for preview will be considered final. Additional services such as retouching, digital manipulation, and artistic finishing are available to the Client at an additional cost.

Licence

The Photographer shall be afforded artistic license concerning the poses and locations photographed. The Photographer's judgment on the choice of locations/poses and the number of images captured shall be considered correct. Given the unpredictability of weather and the cooperation of subjects, it may not be feasible to capture all the requested images.

Cancellation

The Client has the right to cancel a session at any point by providing written notice to The Photographer/s; however, this will result in the loss of their deposit. If cancellation occurs less than 24 hours prior to the session, the full fee may be charged. Cancellations must be submitted in writing.
