Document Overview
A Photography Agreement is a document that serves as a contract between a photographer and their client. The agreement outlines the terms of the transaction between the two parties, including details such as price, payment conditions, schedules and general responsibilities.
By outlining the terms of your service with a written agreement, misunderstandings and confusion are less likely to occur. This will put your clients at ease and ensure you’re protected from liability.
The Legal Risk Score of a Photography Agreement Template
Our legal team have marked this document as low risk considering:
- There is a risk related to the reliability of the photography equipment and unforeseen circumstances, as liability for issues such as mechanical failure or accidents is limited to the return of fees paid, potentially leaving the client without recourse for additional damages or unfulfilled expectations.
- The document specifies that the photographer is not responsible for any damages or losses incurred during postal delivery of products, which places the risk of product delivery entirely on the client, including potential additional efforts without compensation if products are lost or delayed.
- The cancellation policy does not allow for refunds, only the transfer of dates, which could financially impact the client if they need to cancel the service for any reason, as they would still incur charges and potentially lose the initial investment if unable to reschedule.
