Terms and Conditions

WHAT Photography 

Definitions 

For the purposes of this agreement, “the Photographers” are Wendy and Tim Hodgson trading as WHAT associates Ltd.
“Images” mean any images furnished by the Photographer, whether photographs, prints, or another type of physical or electronic material.
 

Copyright and Ownership of Materials 

The entire copyright, title, and intellectual property rights of any Images will remain that of the Photographer at all times throughout the world. 

Exclusivity 

The usage rights granted are personal to the Client and may not be assigned, nor may any image submitted to the Client be loaned or transferred to third parties (save for the purpose of the work by the Client of such reproduction/usage rights/PR). 

The Photographer reserves the right to refuse to supply or grant a reproduction licence to a third party when requested to do so by the Client. 

The Photographer retains the right in all cases to use the Images covered by this agreement at any time and in any part of the world for the purposes of advertising or otherwise promoting his work. 

Use 

Images are to be used as agreed at the time of booking and at the time of agreeing on the fee. The license to use is limited to the use and period of time specified on the Photographers booking form and no other use may be made of the images without the Photographers express permission. An agreement must be reached with the Photographer before Images are used for any other purpose or after the licence to use has expired.  

Manipulation of the Images or use of only a portion of Image may only take place with the permission of the Photographer. 

Booking 

The Client will be required to complete a Booking Form (via email or hardcopy). On receipt of a completed booking form, the Photographer will send an email as confirmation. The booking will then be considered confirmed. 

Once the Client has made a booking for a specific time and date and this date/time has been confirmed by the Photographer, the Photographer will not accept any other work from other clients for those times and dates. 

Cancellation or Postponement by the Client 

When a booking is confirmed, if it is subsequently cancelled, a cancellation fee will be charged to the client according to the following schedule: (i) When a client cancels photography within less than 7 days business of any confirmed date, a fee of 20% of the booked time rate will be charged. (ii) When a client cancels photography within less than 24 hours of any confirmed date/time, a fee of 50% of the booked time rate will be charged. (iii)  When a client cancels photography on the day of the confirmed date, the full fee will be charged.   

When a booking is confirmed, if it is subsequently postponed, the Photographer will at her/his discretion charge a fee for postponement. 

In addition, the client may be charged for any expenses incurred by the Photographer as a result of cancellation or postponement. 

Cancellation by the Photographer 

If the Photographer is unable to attend on the booked date due to any cause beyond their reasonable control e.g. sudden illness, injury, victim of crime, flooding etc the Photographer will endeavour to put the Client in touch with another photographer. In the event of such cancellation by the Photographer, or in the very unlikely event of total photographic failure, liability shall be limited to a full refund of any fees paid to the Photographer by the Client at that time. 

Rejection 

Unless a rejection fee is agreed in advance, there is no right to reject the Images on the basis of style or composition. 

Charges and Timings 

If the Photographer provides a quote to the client, the fee will be charged at that agreed rate. The Photographer generally requests a brief at the time of booking (via email or verbally).  

Where extra expenses or time are incurred or needed by the Photographer as a result of alterations to the original brief by the Client or otherwise at their request, the Photographer will reserve the right to charge the Client extra expenses and fees, also referred to within the Contingency budget on quotations.

If the client changes the length of the job, is delayed or running late and the job runs into extra time the fee will increase as per the agreed hourly rate.  The Photographer will make the client aware of timings and should the work run into extra time she/he will make the client aware of this and the associated costs. 

If it becomes apparent when the job starts that it is much bigger or different job to the agreed brief the Photographer’s fee may increase. If the Photographer is unable to contact the client/payer of invoice at that time work will stop until contact has been made. 

On the occasion that incorrect information is given by the Client regarding a booking (wrong location, wrong time etc.) or the Client fails to arrive at the agreed location/time, the full fee will be charged to the Client. 

If on arrival at a booked job there is an issue (outside of the Client or Photographer’s control) such as bad lighting or restrictions are in use of where the shoot is taking place, a fee may be charged to cover time. 

Quoted fees include mileage up to 10 miles within Ipswich. Additional mileage will be charged at 45 pence per mile thereafter. 

Any congestion charges, road toll charges and parking costs will be billed to the client as a Photographer expense and will be added onto the invoice. 

Right to a Credit 

The Photographer asserts both his moral right to be identified as the author of his work and the right to credit (where possible) is asserted in accordance with Sections 77 – 79 of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 or any amendment or re-enactment thereof.  Please credit ‘WHAT associates’. 

Liability and Indemnity

In the event that the Image issued or reproduced by or with the authority of the Client does not have the necessary rights, releases or consents, then the Client shall indemnify the Photographer against all expenses, damages, claims, or legal costs arising out of any such failure.
