ZANZIBAR WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

These Terms and Conditions („Terms”) constitute a legally binding agreement between the Photographer („Photographer,” „we,” „us,” or „our”) and the Client („Client,” „you,” or „your”) for the provision of photography services in Zanzibar. By booking our services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. Please read them carefully.

The Client confirms that he has read, understood, and accepted all the terms and conditions outlined herein. The Client acknowledges that his acceptance of these terms is a prerequisite for the provision of photography services by the Photographer. Failure to adhere to these terms may result in the cancellation of the booking or additional charges as deemed appropriate by the Photographer. Any amendments or deviations from these terms must be agreed upon in writing by both parties.

1. Booking and Payment: 
To secure a booking, a non-refundable deposit-reservation fee of 50USD is required. This reservation fee guarantees your booking and will be deducted from the final price of the photoshoot. In the event of cancellation by the Client, the reservation fee will not be refunded.  Failure to pay the reservation fee by the specified deadline (3 days)  may result in the forfeiture of the booking slot. 

Full payment must be made on the day of the photoshoot by cash, Paypal, Revolut or bank transfer. 

2. Cancellation Policy: 
Cancellations made by the Client less than 48 hours before the scheduled photoshoot may result in forfeiture of the deposit. If the Photographer needs to cancel due to unforeseen circumstances, a full refund or rescheduling option will be provided.

3. Photoshoot Details
The Photographer will provide guidance and assistance to the Client in selecting the optimal time slot for the photoshoot, taking into consideration the location and the desired effect the Client wishes to achieve in the pictures. Factors such as lighting conditions, weather, and the ambiance of the photoshoot location will be considered in determining the best time for the session. 

The Photographer will collaborate with the Client to schedule the photoshoot at a time that maximizes the potential for capturing desired outcomes. The final decision regarding the timing of the photoshoot will be made jointly by the Photographer and the Client, with the Photographer providing professional recommendations based on their expertise. Any changes to the agreed-upon details must be communicated to the Photographer in advance. 

The duration of the photoshoot is as agreed upon at the time of booking. Additional time may be arranged, subject to availability and an additional fee.

4. Copyright and Usage Rights: 
The Photographer retains copyright of all images taken during the photoshoot. The Client is granted personal usage rights to the images for non-commercial purposes only. The Client may not sell, publish, or otherwise distribute the images without the Photographer’s written consent.

Any publication of the images on the internet, including but not limited to social media platforms, websites, or blogs, must be accompanied by a credit to the Photographer. The credit should include a tag or link to one of the platforms:

The Client agrees to ensure that proper credit is given whenever the images are shared online, as outlined in this clause. Failure to provide appropriate credit may result in a breach of these terms and may require corrective action as determined by the Photographer.

5: Acceptance of Photographer’s Style:
The Client acknowledges that they have reviewed the Photographer’s portfolio and accepts their style and artistic approach. While the Photographer will make reasonable efforts to accommodate specific preferences and requests, the Client understands that the final outcome of the images may reflect the Photographer’s unique style. Any specific requests regarding editing styles or techniques must be communicated to the Photographer prior to the photoshoot, and their feasibility will be assessed on a case-by-case basis.

6. Image Delivery and Selection Process:
The Photographer will create a preview gallery containing unedited pictures from the photoshoot for the Client’s review and selection. The Client will have a period of three (3) months from the date of receiving the preview gallery to choose the specific frames they wish to be edited. Upon receipt of the Client’s selection, the Photographer will commence editing the chosen images. The delivery timeline for edited images is one (1) month from the date the Client submits their selection to the Photographer. Any delays in the selection process by the Client may impact the overall delivery timeline.

The photographer do not provide RAW files or unprocessed JPEGs to clients. The only files delivered are carefully selected and edited photographs, chosen by the Client from the previews provided. These final images are professionally processed to meet Photographer’s quality standards. By booking our services, the Client acknowledges and agrees to receive only these edited, final photographs, with no access to unedited material or RAW files. This ensures consistency, artistic integrity, and alignment with the visual style of the Photographer.

7. Client Cooperation: 
The Client agrees to cooperate with the Photographer to ensure the success of the photoshoot. Any delays or disruptions caused by the Client may impact the quality and duration of the photoshoot.

8. Liability:
The Photographer will not be liable for any injury, damage, or loss to persons or property during the photoshoot. The Client is responsible for their own safety and that of any individuals accompanying them during the photoshoot.

9. Refund Policy for Bad Weather: 
In the event of inclement weather that renders the photoshoot impractical or unsafe, the booking fee will be fully refunded to the Client. The decision to cancel the photoshoot due to adverse weather conditions will be made jointly by the Photographer and the Client, taking into consideration factors such as safety, visibility, and feasibility of capturing desired outcomes. 

The Photographer will make reasonable efforts to provide alternative dates or times for rescheduling the photoshoot, subject to availability and mutual agreement. If a suitable alternative cannot be arranged, the booking fee will be promptly refunded to the Client via the original payment method. The refund of the booking fee constitutes the sole remedy available to the Client in the event of a photoshoot cancellation due to bad weather.
