A Little Bougie Session Terms

Last Updated: 06.19.2024

This agreement is between you (Client) and Bougie Pet Pawtography LLC (Photographer).

SESSION FEE & INCLUSIONS

• For sessions that require a fee, Client agrees to Photographer the non-refundable session fee at time of booking, which includes a 5- to 10-minute mobile studio session with Photographer, one digital image to be delivered after event and after all editing is completed (usually a week or so, depending on how many dogs are photographed at event), and the option to purchase additional images and/or prints if available.
• For sessions that DO NOT require a fee, session includes a 5- to 10-minute mobile studio session with option to purchase images and products after event (1-2 weeks).

Photographer will have the best photos from the session edited and presented to Client in a single event gallery. It is the sole decision of Photographer which photo (or photos, where available) to professionally edit from the session.

PAYMENT

Payment is due in full unless payment arrangements have been made. Orders will not be processed until full payment is received. If Client has arranged a payment plan, order will be placed after final payment has been received.

SESSION REQUIREMENTS

Please do not bring any pets or children not being photographed to the session.

All pets must remain on a leash at all times, unless and until the Photographer says otherwise.

All pets must be up-to-date on all vaccinations.

Client, pet(s), and any humans in attendance of the session must adhere to any location rules (for example, park rules and regulations). Failure to comply with said rules will result in cancellation of Client’s session, without refund, reschedule, or re-shoot.

COMMUNICATION

Client agrees to positive and timely cooperation and communication in order to help produce the best possible results with regard to the session.

REFUND POLICY

Due to their nature and limited availability, session fees are non-refundable.

RE-SHOOT POLICY

Re-shoots are determined at the discretion of the Photographer. Re-shoots will not be given for pet behavior, human behavior, or by not following the recommendations of Photographer. If the photo session must be re-shot due to a Client-/pet-related issue and where Photographer has traveled to reach the destination, additional travel fees may apply. Re-shoots will be arranged at Photographer’s discretion with regard to location, props, sets, etc., as the original session conditions may not be recreated without added expense, unless Client will assume said expense, to be paid in full prior to re-shoot.

DIGITAL FILE(S)

Upon receipt of digital file(s) and/or online photo gallery, where available at Photographer's discretion, Client accepts all responsibility for downloading, archiving, and protecting digital photos/files. Photographer does not permanently archive image files on behalf of the Client. Any images printed by Client over the provided size may lose image quality. Digital images provided in private online gallery, when available at the Photographer's discretion, will be in JPG format.

MODEL RELEASE

Photographer may, at Photographer’s discretion and option, use and/or reproduce images for the Client and/or for the Photographer’s own portfolio, as samples, for marketing/self-promotion, and/or for professional competition or review purposes. Client hereby releases and discharges Photographer from any and all claims and demands ensuing from, or in connection with, the use of the images.

LIABILITY

Photographer is not responsible for any injuries inflicted upon any participating parties. Client is responsible for Client’s self, as well as Client’s own pet(s), child/children, and/or business(es), and releases Photographer from any claims against Client’s person, pet(s), child/children, and/or business(es).

While every reasonable effort will be made to produce and deliver outstanding photographs of the shoot, the Photographer’s entire liability to the Client for any claim or loss arising from the Photographer’s performance is limited to a refund to the Client of the amount paid for services.

Because shoots are uncontrolled events, Photographer cannot guarantee delivery of any specifically requested image(s). Photographer cannot be held responsible for missed shots or if insufficient time is allocated for photography due to Client.

Photographer will not be responsible for photographs not taken or sessions not completed as a result of Client's failure to provide reasonable assistance, cooperation, and communication regarding the session, including but not limited to completion of any session questionnaire.

Care will be taken by Photographer to ensure safe-keeping of digital files taken at the event, but in an event outside of Photographer’s control, Photographer’s entire liability is limited to a full refund of the paid session fee.

Photographer is not responsible for quality of, delivery of, or damage caused during delivery of any prints or photo products ordered from virtual store by Client, as that purchase is separate from this agreement and is between the virtual store and the Client.

RETOUCHING & CONVERSIONS

Standard light retouching may be included at the Photographer's discretion. Complex retouching, including things like removal of scars or heavy blemishes, as well as tonal conversions, such as converting color images to black-and-white, may be requested by the Client for an additional fee.

COPYRIGHT

It is understood that Photographer owns and retains copyright to all of the digital images. Upon receipt of full and final payment and delivery of final images, Client is granted license to use the digital images for Client’s own non-commercial purposes, such as printing, electronic messaging, exchanging with friends and relatives, and/or display on the Internet; however, the images may not be edited or altered in any way.

SESSION RECORDING

No cameras/camcorders or any other recording devices are allowed during the session unless prior written arrangement and consent has been made between Client and Photographer.

SAFE WORKING ENVIRONMENT

Client agrees to undertake best efforts to ensure Photographer and Photographer’s staff are treated with respect and dignity and that Photographer is provided with a safe working environment. Should an issue arise regarding safety or harassment during the session, Photographer will make reasonable efforts to handle the matter safely and professionally. If the situation is not remedied in a reasonable amount of time, Photographer reserves the right to cancel the remainder of the event or session. Safe working environment issues include, but are not limited to, any instances of sexual harassment, violence, threats, or other similar behavior that would lead a reasonable person to feel unsafe. In the event such cancellation is caused by the Client, Client will not be entitled to any refund, reschedule, or re-shoot. In the event such cancellation is caused by a third party, Photographer will make every effort to reschedule or re-shoot the event or session (see RE-SHOOT POLICY).

ENTIRE AGREEMENT

This agreement contains the entire understanding between Photographer and Client. It supersedes all prior agreements between the parties. The only way to add or change this agreement is to do so in writing, with that agreement signed by both parties. If the parties want to waive one provision of this agreement, it does not mean that any other provision is also waived.

This constitutes an order for one A Little Bougie photography session with Photographer.
