1. 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.
2. Booking Fee The Booking Fee of £15.00 may be made by Paypal online money bank transfer (preferred), or by cash, and secures the time and services of the Photographer(s) for the portraits and is non-refundable or transferable in the event of cancellation, it being the agreed loss suffered by the Photographer due to cancellation. All cancellations must be in writing. Portraits that are postponed to a later date will retain the fee as long as the Photographer can re-schedule for the new date and time.
3. Payments Following payment of the Booking Fee, the balance of £50 is due 1 day prior to the session. No Photographs, Albums, USB Memory Stick or Additions will be delivered until all payments due have been paid in full. Payment for Reprints, Acrylic Panels, Canvas Prints, or other Additions is to be made in full at the time of ordering.
4. Prices All prices are as at the time of signing the Contract, but in the event that changes arise that are outside the Photographer(s) control, for instance but not exclusively, the costs of Prints, Additions, Travel and Subsistence, then we will inform the Client of such within 21 days.
5. Photographer(s) The Principal Photographer will be Andrea Muscroft. She will be the ONLY stills Photographers allowed to attend for financial gain.
6. Images All image sizes are nominal. The Photographer will provide a pleasing colour balance but cannot guarantee exact colour matching owing to anomalous reflectance caused by a combination of certain dyes and materials especially man-made fibers. It is sometimes impossible to record digitally the exact colour as seen by the human eye.
7. Creative Licence the Photographer(s) shall be granted artistic licence in relation to the poses photographed. The style and the number of photographs is also dependent on the willingness of the newborn. The Photographer(s) will make their best effort to honour requested photographs but does not undertake a guarantee for any specific picture.

10. Copyright Any images or copies of images whether stored digitally or otherwise and any computer program including any source or object code, computer files or printed documentation relating to such images are protected by the Copyright and Design Act 1988.
