Kerry Reilly Photography Terms & Conditions

Note – For the purpose of this document Kerry Reilly Photography shall be referred to as KRP. The visitor to the studio shall be referred to as the Client.

APPLICABLE LAW
The laws of England and Wales shall govern this agreement. These Terms and Conditions shall not be varied except by agreement in writing.
In the event of any conflict between these terms and conditions (including those relating to the time of payment) and those issued or submitted by the Client and in the absence of any contrary agreement in writing these Terms and Conditions shall prevail.

BOOKING & PAYMENT
By booking with KRP you enter into a contract and have therefore agreed to abide by the terms and conditions.A non-refundable booking fee of £50 will be taken to secure your session date. For newborn sessions only: Due to the uncertain prediction of an exact arrival day of your baby, certain flexibility for booking the newborn session will apply. An initial date within the first 10 days of your due date is to be pencilled, however, this is subject to change depending on the exact date of birth.
Once agreed upon a final session date, you may reschedule your session up to 7 days prior to your shoot if required. After this a £40.00 rebooking fee will be charged. Booking fees are non-refundable but transferable for up to two months of the original session date (should you wish to change the date). Each session date can be transferred only once.
The £50 booking fee will go towards paying off your chosen Portrait Package. Payment for the full package can be split in to separate instalments. Full payment must be made on the date of your final session. The same reschedule terms as stated above apply to each session within the package.

ORDERS
All orders for additional packages, frames or canvases must be paid for at the time of ordering unless a payment plan has been discussed.
If a Payment plan has been arranged a non-refundable initial payment of £100 will be taken at the time of ordering and remainder will be paid off as arranged. If the client fails to pay on time for the remainder of any additional orders, KRP reserves the right to withhold the products until full payment has been made. If the client falls behind on payments for more than two months KRP retains the right to discard the order completely. Any payments made up until this date are non refundable. The sale will be considered closed and KRP retains the right to take the matter to the Small Claims Court to retrieve the remainder of the payment.
All orders will be completed and available for the Client to collect within 8 weeks of the viewing date, for any orders that are completed before this date the Client will be notified.
All images produced by KRP are done on a fully calibrated monitor, and all prints will be a true reflection of the editing carried out by KRP. KRP will not be held responsible for variances in images caused by clients viewing images on non calibrated screens or monitors. To ensure images are seen as intended it is advised that client views them at KRP studio. When high resolution images are purchased it is not the responsibility of KRP for any discolouration or cropping when products are ordered elsewhere.
