1.2 - "Photographs" means all photographic material furnished by the Photographer, whether digital images, negatives, prints or any other type of physical or electronic material.

2.1 - The entire copyright in the photographs is retained by the Photographer at all times, in whatever form and throughout the world.

4.1 - The photographs are licensed for use across the following platforms: Artwork, packaging, brochures, website, prospectuses, social media, magazine, poster, national press, and for promotional videos on social media

4.2 - The Licence to Use comes into effect from the date of payment of the relevant invoice(s). No use may be made of the photographs before payment in full of the relevant invoice(s) without the Photographer's express permission. Any permission which may be given for prior use will automatically be revoked if full payment is not made by the due date or if the Client is put into receivership or liquidation.

4.2 - The Licence only applies to the advertiser and product as stated at the top of this form and its benefit shall not be assigned to any third party without the Photographer's permission.

4.4 - The Client is responsible for seeking permission from those photographed (or the legal guardian of those photographed if under 18 years old) as part of this commission.  Where photographic consent is not granted, it is the Client’s responsibility to make suitable arrangements (such as removing the subject from the photograph as it is being taken and making the Photographer aware).  The Photographer cannot be held liable for complaints brought against either the Client or Photographer for images including subjects whose photographic consent was not given.

4.5 - In order to run her business successfully, one of the things the Photographer has to do is promote her work, both digitally and in print.  If you have booked the Photographer, the chances are you’ve seen her real-life inspirational clients owning it in front of the camera on one or more of these promotional platforms.  This also enables the Photographer to promote the Client’s business and services on the Photographer's website and social media.  If you would prefer the Photographer not to use images from your photo-shoot as part of her marketing, please contact the photographer (please note, an exclusivity fee may be charged in the absence of being able to use the images).

5.1 - The Photographer cannot be held liable for any injury, loss or damage to any person, possession or property during the session.

6.1 - Payment by the Client will be expected for the commissioned work within 28 days of the issue of the relevant invoice and before the date of the shoot.

6.3 - Photographs will not be supplied until payment has been received in full.

7.1 - Where extra expenses or time are incurred by the Photographer as a result of alterations to the original brief by the Client, or otherwise at their request, the Client shall give approval to, and be liable to pay such extra expenses or fees at the Photographer's normal rate to the Photographer in addition to the agreed or estimated expenses.

14.2 - The Client understands that outdoor locations may well be used as part of the shoot, and, as a result, the weather cannot be controlled. While alternative indoor locations will be sought in case of bad weather, in situations of extreme bad weather, where there's the potential for damage to the Photographer's equipment, the Photographer reserves the right to postpone the photo-shoot at short notice. The Client also understands that in the event of postponement due to adverse weather, the Photographer shall not be obliged to refund the Client any amounts paid in relation to the photographic session.  The Client is responsible for funding their travel to a rearranged photographic session.
