All contracts and transactions between Bee Coyne Photography and the client whether made orally or in writing are subject to these terms and conditions.
SESSION IMAGES:
Final images will be ready approximately 2 weeks after the session date although this can sometimes take longer for larger galleries. The Client will then be sent a link and passwords to access their online gallery to view their photos and select images for free download.
PAYMENT ARRANGEMENT:
A 25% non-refundable deposit is required to reserve a photography session date. Dates will ONLY be secured upon receipt of the deposit. Remaining balance of the session is due a minimum of 48 hours prior to family, newborn and mini session. Full pre-payment for wedding bookings is required one month prior booking date. Bee Coyne Photography has the right to withhold delivery of the final product until balance paid. We accept payment by:
Cash
Bank Transfer
EXPENSES
If your location for photoshoot is within an hours drive from my studio location (MK42 9DZ) there is no extra charge for travel. After this its £0.55 per mile. The client is expected to pay any hotel/accommodation costs if these are required for a long distance shoot.
CANCELLATION/POSTPONEMENT:
Forty-eight hours (48) notice of postponements or cancellations is appreciated although its is understood that in the case of illness a shorter notice period is necessary. If it is not possible for a session to take place on a scheduled day due to inclement weather or illness, Photographer and Client will reschedule on an agreed date at the earliest date possible, with no additional charge.
OVERRUN SESSION TIME/TERMINATED MID-SESSION:
The Photographer reserves the right to charge for additional session time (ADDITIONAL TO THE MAXIMUM PACKAGE TIME) if requested by the client at a rate of £50 per hour and subject to it not effecting other bookings preparation and start times.
COOPERATION/NO SHOWS:
Photographer is not responsible if Client and/or key individuals fail to appear or cooperate during portrait sessions, or for missed images due to details not revealed to Photographer. Photographer’s camera is the only camera allowed at the photo session because of the distraction it causes, especially to small children, which hinders Photographer’s ability to obtain quality shots. If Client and/or key individuals fail to appear to a scheduled portrait session, the deposit is non-refundable.
DIGITAL NEGATIVES, PRINTS & COPYRIGHT:
All images and copyrights are the property of Bee Coyne Photography ("Photographer"). The mediums for display could include newspapers, magazines, books, television, and the internet, but are not limited to only those mediums. The Photographer retains these rights indefinitely.
Photographer agrees to grant these image rights to the client with a non-exclusive, limited, perpetual license.
This license allows the client to do the following with the images:
i) Display the images;
ii) Print the images;
iii) Upload, email, or electronically transfer the images or files; and,
iv) Publish the images on personal websites or social media websites
CLIENT’S USAGE:
Client is obtaining prints for personal use only, and shall not sell said prints. Prints for publication (such as editorial, public relations or advertising use) require prior written consent from Photographer. A credit line which reads “Bee Coyne Photography" in type no smaller than that of the related text must appear adjacent to or within all permitted published photographs.
LIMIT OF LIABILITY:
I take the utmost care with respect to the exposure and retouching of digital captures. However, in the unlikely event that all the originals are lost, stolen, damaged or destroyed within or beyond Photographer’s control, Photographer’s liability is limited to the refund of all payments received, or a reshoot can be scheduled at no additional cost. The limit of liability for partial loss or damage of originals shall be a prorated amount of the total amount, based on the percentage of originals lost or damaged. In the unlikely event that Photographer is injured or becomes too ill to attend the portrait session, Photographer will make every effort to reschedule to the earliest possible date. In the unlikely event of a total photographic failure or cancellation of this contract by either party or in any other circumstance, the liability of one party to the other shall be limited to the total value of the contract. Neither party shall be liable for indirect or consequential loss.
IMAGE STORAGE:
All edited images delivered via Client's online gallery are stored for a minimum of 6 months after which future storage is at the sole discretion of the Photographer.
RETOUCHING, CONVERSIONS AND DIGITAL FILES:
Standard retouching is included in the session fee.
