We take our responsibilities to you very seriously and so we have very comprehensive liability insurance from one of the top companies as recommended by the Institute of Videography. The insurance cover requires us to form a contract with prospective clients in order to give maximum security and cover to all parties.
Our Terms and Conditions are based on contractual requirements as outlined by our liability insurers as well as elements necessary to ensure that our services are efficiently run to ensure the best possible experience to all our clients.
Please read through them carefully. Be aware of any photographers or videographers who do not have liability insurance. Always ask if such cover is available and if you have doubts, ask to see their insurance certificates.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
1. It is agreed that the terms and conditions is the total agreement between the parties and no variations or modification of this contract shall be effective unless agreed by both parties in writing.
2. The client understands that the photographic and videographic coverage will be as the photographer’s/videographer’s professional expertise determines and that no one photograph or element of the videography will be deemed more important than another. Special requests and the photo checklist provided are not binding instructions, although every effort is made to comply with client’s wishes. We cannot be held responsible for any issues arising from any changes to the schedule of the day due to client actions, such as time slippage.
3. Any special requests not notified on the booking form must be made by the client to the photographer/videographer in writing.
4. On occasions and without notice, it may be necessary for the photographer/videographer originally specified to be substituted by another photographer/videographer (e.g. due to ill health, team changes and availability of personnel).
5. Photographers and videographers must work in accordance with and respect the wishes of ceremony venues, such as churches and the registrar in civil ceremonies.
6. All image sizes are nominal. The photographer/videographer will provide a pleasing colour balance but cannot guarantee exact colour matching owing to anomalous reflectance caused by a combination of certain dyes and materials especially man made fibres. It is impossible to record digitally the exact colour as seen by the human eye.
7. Retouching, digital manipulation and artistic finishing are available to the client as an optional extra.
8. Any images or copies of images, whether stored digitally or otherwise and in any computer program, including any source or object code, computer files or printed documentation relating to such images, are protected by the Copyright and Design Act 1988. It is contrary to the Act to copy, or allow to be copied, photographically/electronically or by any other means an image/video created as part of this contract without the permission of Premier Weddings in writing.
9. The due performance of this contract is subject to alteration or cancellation by either party owing to any cause beyond their control.
10. Although the photographer/videographer will produce will do his best to produce more proofs/preview prints and video than discussed or stated on the website/brochure, there is no guarantee that any particular number of proofs/preview prints or elements of the video will be produced.
11. The client hereby allows Premier Weddings to display any images/video included in this contract in their portfolios, literature, wedding exhibitions and advertising. No use of the images/video will be made by Premier Weddings for other commercial reason except with the written permission of the client.
12. The client may cancel this contract at any time by giving written notice to Premier Weddings but in doing so shall forfeit any monies paid. Should cancellation be received by Premier Weddings less than 8 weeks prior to the date of the wedding, the client shall pay a sum equal to 50% of the contract value. The said sum shall be payable as compensation as an estimate of the loss Premier Weddings would suffer. If cancelled less than 4 weeks prior to the wedding then the total amount shall be due.
13. In the unlikely event of a TOTAL photographic/videographic failure or cancellation of this contract by either party or in any other circumstances, the liability of one party to the other shall be limited to the total value of the contract. Neither party shall be liable for indirect or consequential loss.
14. Premier Weddings is, subject to availability, happy to loan a camcorder as outlined on the website, in the brochure or discussed. The client/borrower accepts full liability for the safekeeping and prompt return of the camcorder and agrees to replace it or pay for its replacement, if lost or damaged in any way whatsoever during the loan period. The client agrees that failure to return any part of the camcorder, including battery, charger and case, will incur forfeit of the deposit. The client agrees that failure. The client agrees to pay a deposit of £100 which is totally refundable on return of all equipment in fully working condition and in acceptable cosmetic condition as received by the client.
15. If clients do not submit the definitive list of photographs for the album/book or required changes to the draft video within 12 months of receiving proof photographs or draft video then the contract will be regarded as ended and the client will be provided with 3 copies of the draft DVD and a DVD of high resolution photographs along with licence.
