Mini Session Terms and and Conditions
This agreement constitutes an order for family photography services. Clara Williams agrees to provide photography services at the requested times and locations as discussed.
A fee of $175.00 is agreed upon, which will include up to 20 minutes of photographic coverage by Clara Williams and a minimum of 10 high-resolution, edited images available for digital download via online gallery (accessible for a year), along with a written release allowing the printing of the images. Ten image downloads are included with the session and additional image downloads may be purchased. Full payment is due at the time of booking.
Prints and products may be purchased through your online gallery. All payments for prints/products are due at the time of ordering. Due to the custom nature of the products, all sales are final, and refunds are unavailable. All sales are subject to 7% Nebraska sales tax.
Following the expiration of the online gallery, the client assumes all responsibility for properly backing up the images.
If your package includes digital files, you will receive a limited print release along with your digital image downloads. This print release allows you to display the images, print the images, upload, email, or electronically transfer the images or files, and publish the images on personal websites or social media websites.
The client hereby assigns and grants Clara Williams and its legal representatives the irrevocable and unrestricted right to use and publish photographs of the client/subjects or in which the client/subjects may be included, for editorial, trade, advertising or any other purpose and in any manner and medium; to alter the same without restriction; and to copyright the same. They hereby release Clara Williams and its legal representatives and assigns from all claims and liability relating to said photographs. It is agreed that Clara Williams may display and use the photographs taken for advertising, display, website and internet promotion, photographic contests, public display such as in malls, store fronts, window displays, studio display, television advertising, magazine advertising and any other purpose thought proper by Clara Williams.
Weather conditions, time restrictions, lighting conditions and lack of subject cooperation are just some of the factors that make photography an imperfect science. Please be assured that I am anxious to give you the best possible photography, but good photography does not happen automatically. It will take your cooperation and teamwork to help me.
Clara Williams is not responsible for failure to take desired photographs if the subjects of the photos are late, fail to appear, or do not cooperate. Clara Williams welcomes the Client to express their preferences with regard to the photography. However, the Client agrees to let Clara Williams choose the best photographic methods and abide by her decision. Clara Williams will select the images that best represent her photographic standards. Any unsatisfactory images will be deleted. Only the final images will be available for viewing. All final images will be fully edited, as Clara Williams does not show unedited images.
Clara Williams takes the utmost care with respect to exposure, transportation and processing of photographs. However, in the unlikely event of the client’s photographs being lost, stolen or destroyed for reasons within or beyond Clara Williams’ control, the latter’s liability is limited to the return of all payments received for the photography package. The limit of liability shall not exceed the contract price stated herein. The limit of liability for a partial loss of originals shall be a prorated amount of the exposures lost based on the percentage of total number of originals. The limit of liability shall also apply to photographs/images not produced due to un-cooperation.
Although every possible care will be taken to produce photographs, Clara Williams cannot place an unconditional guarantee on the above. Clara Williams will not be held responsible for any ruined photographs due to others (or any other) flashes; or any other ruined photographs due to any other cause in or outside of Clara Williams’ control. The performance of this contract on behalf of Clara Williams shall be contingent upon acts of God, flood, fire, warfare, government laws or regulations, electrical failure, strikes by suppliers, and/or conditions beyond its control.
Photographer is not responsible for any injuries inflicted upon any participating parties. Client(s) will be responsible for their children and for themselves and release photographer from any claims against their person or their business. Photographer is not responsible for the damage of portraits after delivery to client, including damage caused during transit by US mail. Client assumes all responsibility for the safety of all portraits upon receipt.
In the unlikely event that Clara Williams cannot perform this agreement in whole or in part due to illness, injury or other casualty, acts of God, nature, or other cause beyond the control of the parties, the Client has the right to terminate this agreement and all retainers and fees shall be returned to the Client. This limitation in liability shall also apply in the event that the photographic materials are damaged in processing, lost through camera or equipment malfunction, lost or damaged in the mail, or otherwise lost or damaged without fault on the part of the photographer. Clara Williams’ liability is limited to the return of all payments received under this agreement.
Clara Williams will archive your images 90 days following your photoshoot. After 90 days, all images will be purged from photographer’s hard-drive, except as needed for promotional purposes, to be determined by photographer at photographer’s sole discretion. Photographer is not responsible for loss or damage to the digital files due to circumstances beyond photographer’s control. There will be a $150 fee for archived image retrieval.
The client understands that all orders may take up to 6 weeks for delivery of images.
