This agreement contains the entire understanding between VISION ADDICT LLC and THE CLIENT. It supersedes all prior and simultaneous agreements between the parties. VISION ADDICT LLC is also understood as the exclusive official photographer/videographer retained to perform the service requested in this Contract.
This agreement and 50% of the total payment is required to reserve any session with VISION ADDICT LLC. By checking the box below agreeing to these terms, VISION ADDICT LLC will reserve the time and date agreed upon, and will not make other reservations for the exact time and date. For this reason, your retainer of 50% is non-refundable, even if the date is changed or cancelled for any reason. No exceptions.
All shoots must be paid in full immediately after the service via cash, zelle or credit card.
The retainer fee is applied toward the contracted photography/videography service and the remaining balance is due on the day of the shoot. Payments are due right after the shot, no refund policies. We do not provide any receipts, invoices will serve as receipt for work performed and services rendered. Bank transfer fees are the responsibility of the client. No images or videos are released or sent until the balance is paid in full.
Photographer is not responsible if key individuals fail to appear or cooperate during portrait sessions, or for missed images due to tardiness or details not revealed to Photographer. If key individuals fail to appear to a scheduled portrait session, the session fee is non-refundable. If and/or key individuals, including but not limited to THE CLIENT, fails to appear on time to the contracted, scheduled time, there will be a 15 minute grace period window. Failing to appear 15 minutes after your scheduled time will result in the cancellation of the service.
Once a session has been booked, your reservation fee is non-refundable. VISION ADDICT LLC reserves the right to make adjustments to sessions that are late (including, but not limited to, automatically applying to your session a late or over time fee - upon availability). VISION ADDICT LLC reserves the right to reschedule any session due to photographer/videographer illness, personal emergency, inclement weather, or other reason. Your session will then be rescheduled to the first available date that works for both you and the photographer/videographer. Sessions will only be rescheduled due to poor weather at the photographer/videographer's discretion. The client has the right to cancel at any time prior to services being rendered with the understanding that the Retainer fee is non-refundable. Clients reserve the right to reschedule any portrait session (one time only) with at least one week written notice to the photographer/videographer, with no additional fee. Cancelling/Rescheduling less than 7 days prior to a session date (but prior to 48 hrs before) will result in a $30 rescheduling fee. Any photo/video shoot where the clients or models fail to show up to the shoot will result in forfeit of fees and the shoot will NOT be rescheduled unless the session fee is paid in full again (plus travel time, if applicable). Clients who cancel/reschedule more than once will forfeit their right to reschedule and session fees will NOT be refunded. In the event the client cancels this agreement, the client will also remain obligated to pay all pre-approved expenses incurred by studio on client’s behalf.
