At Paren Creates, these Terms of Service outline the agreement between the photographer and the client when booking a photography session. By making a booking, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to these terms.
Booking & Payment:
All bookings are confirmed via email after availability is approved. To secure your booking date, full payment of 100% is required. Please note that 50% of the total fee is considered a non-refundable deposit, which reserves your selected time slot. Once payment has been received, your booking is confirmed, and the session date is secured.
Cancellation & Refunds:
If you cancel your booking at least two weeks (14 days) before your scheduled session, you will receive a 50% refund, excluding the non-refundable deposit. Cancellations made less than two weeks before the session are non-refundable. No refunds will be issued for late cancellations or no-shows.
Rescheduling:
Rescheduling requests must be made at least one week Rescheduling requests must be made at least one week (7 days) in advance of your scheduled session. Requests made within less than 7 days of the session date may not be accommodated. Rescheduling is subject to availability and is not guaranteed, especially during peak seasons or limited booking period. In the case of extreme weather or unforeseen circumstances, rescheduling may be offered at the photographer’s discretion.
Delivery of Images:
Final edited images will be delivered via a private online gallery. Standard delivery time is typically 2–4 weeks, depending on season and workload. All images are delivered in high-resolution digital format for personal use.
Copyright & Usage:
The photographer retains full copyright of all images. Clients are granted a non-exclusive, personal-use license for delivered photographs. This includes printing and sharing on personal social media. Commercial use, resale, editing, or redistribution without written permission is not permitted. The photographer reserves the right to use selected images for portfolio, website, and social media unless otherwise agreed in writing prior to the session.
Client Responsibility & Late Policy:
Clients are responsible for arriving on time to their scheduled session. Sessions will begin and end at the scheduled times, regardless of client arrival time. Any client delays will result in a corresponding reduction in shooting time, and no partial refunds or extensions will be given.
If the client anticipates running late and notifies the photographer at least one (1) hour prior to the scheduled start time, the photographer will attempt to accommodate a delayed start of up to 60 minutes, strictly subject to calendar availability. If the client fails to communicate any delay prior to the scheduled start time, or if the delay exceeds 30 minutes without prior notice, the session will be automatically categorized as a "No-Show." No-shows result in immediate cancellation of the session, and all payments made will be strictly non-refundable.
Any location fees, permits, entry charges, or transportation costs are the sole responsibility of the client unless otherwise agreed in writing.
Liability:
The photographer is not responsible for any injuries, accidents, or damages that may occur during the session. While every effort is made to ensure a smooth experience, external factors such as weather, location restrictions, or public conditions may affect the shoot.
Agreement:
By completing a booking, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to these Terms of Service.
