24 . RETURNS

​

The Colour settings and the type of computer monitor that you use to view your image, influence the perception of how your image should look. You should be aware that images viewed in the majority of web browsers are not color accurate, and that prints may look slightly different. There is also a variation between different paper types. If precise colors are important for you, you should contact us for more information before placing your order. As we cannot guarantee the accuracy of your monitor, we will not accept color reproduction as a valid reason for return. Due to the bespoke status of these artworks, items that are delivered as described and in good condition may not be returned but damaged items will be exchanged free of charge. We reserve the right to charge for re-posting returned orders, which have been specially produced to meet your personal requirements. We reserve the right to contact you via telephone or email should we have any questions about your image before printing.

All image sizes are nominal. The Photographer/s will attempt to provide a pleasing color balance but cannot guarantee exact color matching owing to anomalous reflectance caused by a combination of certain dyes and materials, especially man-made fibers. It is sometimes impossible to record digitally the exact color as seen by the human eye.

All images will be adjusted for exposure, brightness, contrast, sharpness, etc. The Photographer's judgment regarding these corrections and the number of images put forward to the Client for preview shall be deemed correct.

The Client accepts images received by The Client on digital storage or printed media will be the final edited images and The Client accepts that further retouching, digital manipulation, and artist alteration beyond this point is available, but at extra cost.

All printed media, be it Photo Albums or Photographs shall be treated as an extension of this contract and no responsibility for error will be accepted unless image quality is deemed to be grossly defective or unacceptable, more specifically, misprints, poor print quality, or color reproduction that is deemed to be vastly different to that of the real-life item. The Client must inform The Photographer in writing specifics relating to final image preferences (be it, in a particular style, black & white, etc) or The Client deems the artistic vision of The photographer to be correct.

The Client accepts the artistic ability, vision, and opinion of the final edited images based on previous artwork and images published on tonymorrison.co.uk. The Client confirms at the time of booking, The Photographer produces the type of photography the Client wanted to purchase and accepts this to be correct. The Client confirms that he/she viewed The Photographer's portfolio before booking and it was said images that influenced the booking and concluded in the signing and complete acceptance of The Photographers Terms and Conditions.

​

25 . FREE PRACTICE PRE-WEDDING SHOOT AS PART OF INITIAL WEDDING CONSULTATIONS 

​

As part of the initial consultations with prospective clients, the photographer offers a free, no-obligation pre-wedding photoshoot. This offer is subject to finding a mutually agreeable date, time, and location. This will normally be in south Staffordshire or adjacent areas and at daylight times when the photographer is not already booked or editing. Prospective clients should note that the photographer's diary gets booked up quickly on Fridays and at weekends and so it is not always possible to provide such times/dates.

It is the prospective clients' responsibility to ensure that adequate permissions are obtained for the use of the agreed location/s for a pre-wedding shoot. 

The prospective clients' participation in the free practice pre-wedding shoots are entirely at their own risk.

In the unlikely event of a photographic failure or postponement or cancellation of this shoot by either party or any other circumstance, the liability of one party to the other shall be limited to zero. Neither party shall be liable for indirect or consequential loss.  

Any directions issued to participants in the shoot, their guests, or employees during a photographic shoot are deemed to be at said person’s own risk. The Photographer cannot be held responsible for any personal accidents during a photographic shoot.   

The Photographer will edit a range of the images made during the photoshoot and make these available to the prospective client for viewing through a gallery on his website. The prospective clients will thus receive an edited selection of high-resolution JPEG digital images. The exact number of images produced will depend on the nature of the shoot. The Photographer shall be granted an artistic license for the poses photographed. The Photographer’s judgment regarding the locations/poses and number of images taken and produced shall be deemed correct.   

All image sizes are nominal. The Photographer will provide a pleasing color balance but cannot guarantee exact color matching owing to anomalous reflectance caused by a combination of certain dyes and materials especially man-made fibers. It is sometimes impossible to record on film or digitally the exact color as seen by the human eye.   

All images will be adjusted for exposure, brightness, contrast, sharpness, etc. The Photographer's judgment regarding these corrections and the number of images put forward to the prospective clients for preview shall be deemed correct. Another retouching, digital manipulation, and artist finishing is available to prospective clients as an option at extra cost.  

The entire copyright in the photographs is retained by the photographer at all times throughout the world. The prospective clients must seek permission for use beyond reproduction and printing for friends, guests, and family. Reproduction for friends, guests, and family is licensed to prospective clients by the Photographer.  

The prospective clients hereby allow the Photographer to display any images made during the shoot and to generally promote the business utilizing advertising, publicity material, websites, exhibitions, competitions, magazine articles, social media, sample albums, and other such media, etc., providing that the images are used lawfully and without damage to the prospective clients.   

The prospective clients understand that it is unlikely that photographs will be released before three weeks and at busy times, the editing process may take up to one calendar month before the first edits will be released.  

The prospective clients understand that no unedited images will be released. 

Prospective clients will be able to select one full resolution image for free download from the gallery of images provided by the Photographer. The prospective clients will be able to purchase any of the additional digital images and prints from this gallery should they wish. If the prospective clients subsequently book The Photographer for their wedding photography, The Photographer will make all the high and low-resolution digital images in the gallery available to the clients for download as part of their wedding package.  

Typically this free practice pre-wedding shoot will last for approximately 20 minutes or so depending on conditions at the location/s used. Prospective clients can book a longer shoot should they so wish for which a separate charge will be made depending on the length of time chosen by the prospective clients. If prospective clients would like to take advantage of this service, they should inform The Photographer upon booking.

If the Client cancels the contracted services for wedding photography outlined in this contract outside the 14 day ‘cooling off period’ and before the wedding ceremony takes place, the Booking Fee/Deposit will be forfeit.

If such a situation should occur and a suitable replacement is not found, responsibility and liability are limited to the return of all payments received. 

The Photographer takes the utmost care concerning exposure, transportation, and processing of photographs. However, in the unlikely event of the Client’s photographs being lost, stolen, or destroyed for reasons within or beyond Rabia Bibi Photo’s control (e.g. technical failure), Rabia Bibi Photo’s liability is limited to the return of all payments received for the event package or the reasonable costs of restaging photographs by Rabia Bibi Photo of the couple and their families at a later date. 

6. Limitation of Liability

Before or during the event, the Client may inform the Photographer of subjects which they would like photographed, but the final content of the images is at the discretion of the Photographer. 

Although every possible care will be taken to produce photographs of all important and special events during the wedding, Rabia Bibi Photo cannot place an unconditional guarantee on the above. 

The client will receive an edited selection of high-resolution JPEG digital images. The exact number of images produced will depend on the actual nature of the event.  

The Photographer shall be granted artistic license about the poses photographed and the locations used. The Photographer’s judgment regarding the locations/poses and number of images taken and produced shall be deemed correct. Due to the vagaries of the weather, the willingness of subjects, or other circumstances it may not be possible to capture all the images requested. 

All image sizes are nominal. The Photographer will provide a pleasing color balance but cannot guarantee exact color matching owing to anomalous reflectance caused by a combination of certain dyes and materials especially man-made fibers. It is sometimes impossible to record on film or digitally the exact color as seen by the human eye.  

9. Retouching 

All images will be adjusted for exposure, brightness, contrast, sharpness, etc. The Photographer's judgment regarding these corrections and the number of images put forward to the Client for preview shall be deemed correct. Another retouching, digital manipulation, and artist finishing is available to the Client as an option at extra cost. 

10. Copyright and Use of Images 

The entire copyright in the photographs is retained by the photographer at all times throughout the world. The client must seek permission for use beyond reproduction and printing for friends, guests, and family. Reproduction for friends, guests, and family is licensed under this agreement. 

The Clients hereby allow the photographer to display any images covered by this contract and to generally promote the business employing advertising, publicity material, websites, exhibitions, competitions, magazine articles, social media, sample albums, and other such media, etc., providing that the images are used lawfully and without damage to the clients.  

11. Release of Edited Images 

The Client understands that it is unlikely that photographs will be released before three weeks and at busy times, the editing process may take up to six weeks before the first edits will be released. 

The client understands that no unedited images will be released. 

12. Venues 

The photographer is limited by the guidelines of the ceremony official or the reception site management. The Client agrees to accept the technical results of their imposition on the Photographer. Negotiation with the officials for moderation of guidelines is The Client’s responsibility; the Photographer will offer technical recommendations only. For a booking involving a church ceremony or at certain other venues, the photographer's movements are sometimes restricted by the official in charge. The area from which the photographer can cover the ceremony may not be the Photographer's choice and the Photographer cannot accept responsibility for any obstructed view should this be the case. 

13. Exclusivity 

The Photographer will be the only professional photographer on the day of the wedding. The Photographer reserves the right to ask other people to refrain from taking photographs at key times if it is considered that this may compromise the quality of the photographs. The Photographer cannot be held responsible if the quality of any of the final images produced is adversely affected by other photographers or videographers present at the event. 

14. Welfare 

Rabia Bibi Photo will not tolerate any level of verbal abuse or aggression or perceived potential endangerment to his health or equipment. Any such circumstances will result in the immediate suspension of coverage and the client being deemed as having canceled the booking. 

15. Terms and Conditions 

The Client understands and agrees to the terms and conditions shown on the Photographer’s website as of the date of this Contract, which shall apply to this Contract so far as they are not inconsistent with the specific terms and conditions set out in this signed document which shall have priority in the case of any conflict or inconsistency. 

16. Governing Law 

This agreement shall be governed following the laws of England and Wales. 

If any provision of this agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable under the law, the validity of this Contract as a whole shall not be affected, and the other provisions of the Contract shall remain in full force and effect.
