808 PICTURES PHOTOGRAPHY CONTRACT
Terms & Conditions
1. BOOKING & PAYMENTS
A booking deposit is required to confirm sessions booked more than 30 days in advance. For sessions within 30 days, full payment is due at booking. No photography will take place, and no rights are granted until payment is made in full.
2. REFUNDS & CANCELLATIONS
All deposits and payments are non-refundable for cancellations, no-shows, late arrivals preventing the shoot, or cancellations less than 1 hour before the session.
Exceptions: With proper notice, refunds will be issued for medical emergencies, flight delays, death in the family, or severe weather. If insufficient notice is given, only 50% may be refunded. Costs for props, rentals, clothing, or permits remain the client’s responsibility.
3. PHOTOGRAPHY PACKAGES & DELIVERABLES
Packages include a limited number of edited high-resolution images. Not all images will be delivered. RAW files are not provided. Clients receive a watermarked gallery for selections, with chosen images delivered without watermark. Extra images may be purchased individually or as a Buyout package. Retouching (skin edits, object removal, etc.) is available for an additional fee.
4. LIMIT OF LIABILITY
This contract is the full agreement between 808 Pictures and the Client. 808 Pictures is the exclusive photographer for the session. In case of illness or emergency, a qualified substitute may be provided. If services cannot be performed due to illness, accident, disaster, strike, or other causes beyond control, liability is limited to a refund.
Photographers are not responsible for client appearance (blinking, wardrobe issues, etc.) or environmental conditions (lighting, weather, crowds). Unsafe or unlawful photo requests may be refused.
5. WEATHER & INCLEMENT CONDITIONS
Sessions proceed in light rain or passing showers unless unsafe. If storms prevent shooting, the photographer may relocate or reschedule. If already onsite and rain prevents shooting, sessions may continue under umbrellas or be shortened. Refunds are considered case by case.
6. SHOOTING TIME & COOPERATION
Sessions begin at the scheduled time. Late arrivals shorten the session and may reduce images delivered. Clients are expected to cooperate fully. No other professional photographers may shoot during the contracted session unless approved by 808 Pictures.
7. LOCATIONS & SITE RULES
808 Pictures may recommend locations, but the final choice is the Client’s responsibility. Clients must secure any necessary permits. 808 Pictures is not liable for injuries, accidents, or damages during sessions. Clients participate at their own risk.
8. COPYRIGHT & USAGE RIGHTS
All images remain the copyright of 808 Pictures. Clients are granted personal-use rights, including printing and social media sharing. Images may not be resold or used commercially without written consent.
808 Pictures reserves the right to use images for marketing, portfolio, and publication unless the Client opts out in writing before the session.
9. DELIVERY TIMELINE
Edited images are delivered in 2–3 weeks in JPG format only. No reshoots will be provided except for proven technical failure.
10. FILE STORAGE & ARCHIVING
Clients should download and back up images immediately. 808 Pictures archives files for 60 days after delivery, after which files may be deleted. The studio is not liable for loss due to corruption, disasters, or failures after delivery.
11. MODEL & MEDIA RELEASE
Client grants 808 Pictures irrevocable permission to use images or video for editorial, promotional, advertising, or artistic purposes in any media. Names may be revealed unless anonymity is requested in writing. Clients waive rights to compensation. Client use is limited to personal use only.
