LOCATION COSTS + FEES

If there are any costs/fees associated with the location the client has chosen for their session, you, the client, will be responsible for those fees. The photographer will not guarantee or arrange payment on any location.

EXTRA TIME

GINGRCO, LLC Mini Services are considered mini sessions and, because mini sessions are scheduled on a very tight basis, any amount of time the client is late will be deducted from their session. Client agrees to try to arrive 10 minutes before their time slot to prevent this.  If it is not possible for a session to take place on a scheduled day due to weather, Photographer and Client will reschedule on an agreed date at the earliest date possible, with no additional charge. 

In the event that the photographer is running late, clients will receive 20% off on their final invoice and an additional free hour of work from GINGRCO, LLC. This additional free hour, can be used either the day of service or for any future date agreed upon between the photographer and the client. Any additional time spent due to the lateness of the client, retouching, or editing, that are not otherwise paid for under this Contract shall be charged at the rate of $100 per hour. GINGRCO, LLC may elect to perform these services or refuse them, at its sole discretion. Client agrees to pay these services as invoiced, and may be required to pay for these services ahead of their provision. 

NO SHOWS

If the client does not show up for their appointment, without contacting their photographer 4 hours in advance, the client will be considered as a “no show”. GINGRCO, LLC is not responsible if Client and/or key individuals fail to appear or cooperate during portrait sessions. If it is not possible for a session to take place on a scheduled day due to weather, Photographer and Client will reschedule on an agreed date at the earliest date possible, with no additional charge.

In the event that a client does not show up for their session, all sales are final and GINGRCO, LLC will not refund any payments made. However, if the client would like to reschedule this session, GINGRCO, LLC will transferred funds paid to the new session date. Arranges on new session dates must be made within 5 business days of the original session, if not and a new package will need to be purchased. All sales will still remain non-refundable.

CANCELLATIONS

Client understands that by entering into this agreement, GINGRCO, LLC is foregoing other photographic jobs. In the event of a cancellation or postponement of the portrait session/agreement by Client, the amounts paid are non-refundable. Deposits are transferable if a date change is necessary. Seventy-two (72) hours notice of postponements or cancellations is appreciated.

If GINGRCO, LLC cannot perform this contract due to fire or other casualty, act of nature, or other cause beyond the control of the photographer, or due to the photographer’s illness or emergency, then GINGRCO, LLC shall refund your deposit and shall have no further liability with respect to this contract. This limitation on liability shall also apply in the event that photographic images are damaged in processing, lost through camera malfunction, or otherwise lost or damaged without fault on the part of the photographer. In no event shall GINGRCO, LLC be liable to you for any amount in excess of your session fee.

REFUNDS

All sales are final. If you are not satisfied with your photos, and the issue stems on the photographers end, GINGRCO, LLC will reschedule a new session free of charge. You will only be eligible if you have made this known to the photographer before any retouching is made and only if the photographer agrees that it is appropriate. 

If you choose to re-do your photos for any reason, it will be considered as a new session and you will need to purchase a new package. All sales are final. In the event of an emergency, equipment failure or other unforeseen circumstance, the photographer will return any money given up to that point but claims no further liability. Client(s) agree that an entire wedding/event cannot be replicated, reenacted or repeated for the purpose of a re shoot.

All sessions booked at a sales rate are non-refundable. However, GINGRCO, LLC will honor your session by rescheduling it at no further cost.
