Policies
PRICING AND PAYMENTS: All prices are subject to change. Contract prices will not be changed upon signing of contractual agreement(s). No products will be delivered until the entire amount is paid in full. Acceptable payment methods include cash, check, debit or credit card with payments made payable to Alleah Rose. Lofty Pursuits' total session fees includes a non-refundable payment of 25% of the total session fee and must be paid in conjunction with signing of a contractual agreement. A session date will not be reserved until both items are completed. The Client agrees that this non-refundable payment is earned by the Photographer when paid, and is remitted in consideration of the experience, reputation, skill of the Photographer, and in consideration of the inability of the Photographer to schedule other clients during this time.
CANCELATION POLICY: If Client requests to reschedule a session, Photographer may apply the initial payment to a rescheduled session if notice is given at least seven (3) days prior to the scheduled portrait session. The rescheduled session must take place within three (3) calendar months. Any Client that arrives late to the session will have the amount of time late deducted from the time allotted for the session. Photographer will not provide a partial refund or other compensation for the time deducted from the session due to late arrival of the Client. If weather conditions are not desirable for the portrait session, the session will need to be rescheduled and the session fee will be transferred to the rescheduled session date. Due to liability and equipment damages, this decision will be at Photographer’s discretion. If the Client requests to alter or cancel seven (7) or more calendar days before the agreed upon photographic event date, the initial nonrefundable payment will be applied to a mutually agreed upon reschedule date. If the Client fails to show or cancels seven (7) or less calendar days before the agreed upon photographic event date, the initial non-refundable payment will be forfeited.
ADULT/PARENT PRESENCE AND PARTICIPATION: The parent(s) and/or legal guardian(s) of all clients or models under the age of 18 shall be in attendance for all communications, sessions and events.
COMPLETION SCHEDULE: All photographic session proofs will be processed and available for delivery and viewing between six (6) and eight (8) weeks from the event date. Completion schedules and delivery of products will be determined by the Photographer. Third-party manufacturing laboratories and partners are utilized for products and may provide restrictions on an order not outlined in this Agreement.
PHOTOGRAPHIC MATERIALS AND ARTISTIC RIGHTS: All photographic materials, including but not limited to negatives, transparencies, proofs, and previews, will be the exclusive property of the Photographer. The Photographer retains the right of discretion in selecting the photographic materials released to the Client. The Client will receive proofed prints and an accompanying online viewing gallery to select from and will not receive any photographic materials not presented to the Client. The Photographer also retains the right to adjust the photographs in post-processing as the Photographer deems within their creative control. Additional processing may be requested for an additional fee per image (i.e. braces removal, airbrushed skin, flyaway hairs, etc.). The Photographer shall retain copyright ownership of all works created during sessions, including but not limited to all images in their original and processed formats. It is understood that any duplication or alteration of original images is strictly prohibited {Copyright Law Title 17, Appendix V. Additional Provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act 2005, Section 102} without the written permission of the Photographer. Alterations include, but are not limited to, application of filters, cropping, or modifications of any kind.
CLIENT USAGE: The Client shall only use the photographic prints, including digital files, in accordance with the permissions within session agreements. The Client’s prints are for personal use only and shall not be submitted to contests or reproduced for commercial use. The Client shall not make, or provide authorization to a third-party to make, reproductions of works resulting from sessions without express permission of the Photographer. Additional prints and/or digital files may be purchased between third parties and the Photographer with the permission of the Client. Accordingly, if the Photographer provides a digital file print release, the Client must act in accordance with the release.
