Terms and Conditions
In the following conditions of contract “the photographer” shall mean Alison Bailey or,
subject to condition 7b) below, any photographer(s) appointed by 'Alison Bailey Photography'
The Clients” shall be those whose name appears on the contract. If the clients arrange for a
third party to meet the costs of this contract the contract remains with the clients. The due
performance of the contract is subject to the conditions below and cannot be varied in any
way by the clients unless expressly agreed by the photographer in writing.
1. Copyright: The 1988 Copyright Act assigns the copyright of the images to the
photographer. It is contrary to the Act, and therefore illegal, to copy these images, or
allow them to be copied, by any means photographic, by computer, internet or otherwise,
by any person or machine other than by the photographer or his appointed agents. Please refer to your specific contract with 'Alison Bailey Photography' where you may be granted permission to print or otherwise distribute images other than for financial gain.
2. Display: The Clients hereby allow the photographer to display any images covered by
this contract and to generally promote the business by means of advertising, publicity
material, websites, exhibitions, competitions, magazine articles, and other such media,
providing that the images are used lawfully and without damage to the clients. Images
placed in password protected galleries within the website are not available to the general
public in the normal course of events. However it may not always be possible to prevent
determined persons from accessing these galleries. Please refer to your specific contract with 'Alison Bailey Photography' if you have requested a non disclosure clause.
3. License and Coverage:
a) The photographers shall be granted artistic license in relation to the poses
photographed and the locations used. Although every effort will be made to comply with
the Clients´ requirements, the photographers judgment regarding the location, poses and
number of photographs taken shall be deemed correct.
b) For bookings involving a church ceremony or at certain other venues, photographers´
movements are sometimes restricted by the minister or official in charge: photographing
of parts or even all of the ceremony may be restricted or prohibited, as may the use of
artificial lighting. The photographer cannot accept responsibility for limited coverage in
such cases.
c) Whilst the photographer shall endeavour to fulfil all the Clients´ requirements, he
cannot be held responsible for non-availability of subjects or adverse conditions which
may delay the progress of proceedings, preventing the coverage of certain specified shots.
d) Any alterations made to the booking by the Clients once details have been confirmed
may only be made at the discretion of the photographer. If unable to accommodate
alternative arrangements (such as the change of ceremony date or venue) the
photographer is not liable to compensate the client(s) in any way whatsoever.
4. Image Reproduction:
a) Owing to photochromatic anomalies caused by a combination of certain dyes and
materials, especially in man-made fibres, it is sometimes impossible to record on camera
the exact colour of materials as perceived by the human eye. When processing images,
the photographer will endeavour to achieve a pleasing overall colour balance based on
natural flesh tones.
b) It is understood that some colours may not remain consistent throughout a set of
photographs owing to variations in lighting conditions. It is also understood that all
photographic printing is undertaken within the technical limitations of the process and
that colour may not be identical over the whole range within a subject. The colour
balance of prints made at different times or in varying sizes may also be variable.
c) Due to the limitations of computer monitors it is understood that images may appear
differently according to the specification of each monitor and that prints will not match
images rendered on any particular computer monitor.
d) Where images are made available for use on a DVD player reasonable steps are taken
to ensure compatibility, but DVD discs may not play on all DVD players, particularly
older models.
e) All print and presentation sizes quoted are approximate and subject to the discretion of
the photographers.
5. Payment and Prices:
Please refer to your contract with 'Alison Bailey Photography' for details of payment and pricing. The only additional item which may be required in exceptional circumstances is that overnight accommodation may be required for weddings over 100 miles away. 'Alison Bailey Photography' will make this requirement clear at the time of booking and any additional charges will be reflected in a formal quotation.
6. Force Majeure:
Whilst every care is taken, this contract is subject to alteration or
cancellation by the photographer owing to any cause/s beyond his reasonable control, i.e
Act of God, Fire, War, Road closure etc.
7. Cancellation:
a) In the event of cancellation by the photographer, or in the highly unlikely event of total
photographic failure, the photographer´s liability shall be limited to a full refund of any
deposits and fees paid. Re-shoots may be arranged if practicable but the photographer
will not be responsible for any further costs.
b) The photographer will endeavour to contact other photographers in the unlikely event
that he is unable to attend your booking. However it may prove difficult or impossible to
find a skilled replacement photographer at short notice or at the same price.
c) If the Clients should have to cancel a booking the cancellation fees detailed in your contract with 'Alison Bailey Photography' become due immediately.
d) It is essential to inform the photographer as soon as possible of any changes of
venue, times, or contact details etc.
