Booking Fee:
A non-refundable Booking Fee of £200 is charged when the Client signs this contract. This fee is deducted in full from the TOTAL price.
Payments:

Display:
The Client hereby allows BDH Photography to display any image included in this contract in their studio, portfolio, literature, event exhibitions and advertising. BDH Photography will make no use of the images for other commercial reasons except with the written permission of the Client.
Images:
All image sizes are nominal. BDH Photography will provide a pleasing colour balance but cannot guarantee exact colour matching owing to anomalous reflectance caused by a combination of certian dyes and materials, especially man made fibres. It is sometimes impossible to capture the exact colour as seen by the human eye.

Retouching, digital manipulation and artist finishing is available to the Client as an optional extra.
Reorders:
All reorders shall be treated as an extension of this contract and no responsibility for error will be accepted unless orders are given in writing.

Licence:
BDH Photography shall be granted artistic license in relation to the poses photographed and locations used. BDH Photography judgement regarding the locations / poses and number of images taken shall be deemed correct. Due to the vagaries of weather and the willingness of subjects it may not be possible to capture all the images requested.

BDH Photography will endeavour to capture as much as what is relevant to the event as possible. However, BDH Photography cannot guarantee everything will be recorded.
