It is agreed that the following terms set out the total agreement made between the parties and that no variation or modification of this contract shall be effective unless agreed by both parties in writing.

Booking fee (Deposit)

The Booking Fee of 50% of session price secures the time and services of the photographer for the Photo Session and is non refundable or transferable in the event of cancellation by the client(s), it being the agreed loss suffered by the photographer due to cancellation. Photo Sessions that must be postponed to a later date will retain the deposit as long as the photographer can re-schedule for the new date and time but may be subject to a further deposit.

Payments

Following payment of the booking fee, the balance of payments must be paid by the client(s) on the day of the Photo Session . Proofs/photographs cannot be delivered unless payments due have been paid in full. Payments for additional services are due upon ordering of those items.

Display

The photographer may display any photographs included in this contract in her studio, portfolio, literature, display areas exhibitions, competitions, advertising or slide shows, and websites unless otherwise agreed by the parties involved.

Images

All image sizes are nominal. The photographer will provide a pleasing color balance but cannot guarantee exact color matching owing to anomalous reflectance caused by a combination of certain dyes and materials especially man-made fibers. It is sometimes impossible to record on sensor the exact color as seen by the human eye.

Retouching

The photographer will retouch, digitally manipulate and finish according to her own discretion. Any retouching, digital manipulation or finishing which is requested by the client(s) may be subject to an extra charge at the discretion of the photographer.

Reorders

Copyright

The Copyright of all photographs remains by Annette Schreiber. Under the Federal Copyright Act of 1976, photographs are protected by copyright from the moment of creation. According to the U.S. Copyright Office, the owner of the "work" is generally the photographer. It is understood, however, that if a Flash Drive of taken images is purchased as part of this contract, that the client(s) will have the right to reproduce the images therein for personal use only and not for distribution of any kind.

License

The photographer will be granted artistic license in relation to the poses photographed and the locations used. The photographer’s judgement regarding the location/poses and number of images shall be deemed correct. Due to the unpredictability of the weather and the willingness of subjects it may be impossible to capture all of the images requested.

Force majeure or Act of God

The due performance of this contract is subject to alteration or cancellation by either party owing to any cause beyond their control.
