In the event that any part of this agreement is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this agreement shall remain valid and enforceable.

This agreement shall be governed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales.

BOOKING FEE / DEPOSIT
A non‐refundable booking fee of 30% as well as signing the contract secures the time and services of the Photographer for the Event. If the Event is rescheduled, postponed, or cancelled; or if there is a breach of contract by the Client, booking fee is non-refundable and shall be used to cover the expenses and loss to the Photographer. The deposit will be deducted from the cost of the client’s chosen package when calculating the final balance due.
