TERMS & CONDITIONS
Important Information for your Photoshoot with Bianca Valentim Thomas
Policies & Guidelines
01
Non-Refundable Deposit
A non-refundable deposit is required to secure your session date and time. This deposit ensures that your date is reserved exclusively for you and compensates for the loss of other potential bookings. In the event of cancellation, this deposit will not be refunded under any circumstances.
02
Payment Terms
Deposit is required to complete booking. The final payment is due on the day of the session. Failure to provide the remaining balance will result in the cancellation of your session, and no photos will be delivered. All payments made are non-refundable once the service is rendered. Accepted payment methods include Venmo, Zelle, and PayPal.
03
Rescheduling Policy
Clients may reschedule once without penalty, provided at least 48 hours' notice is given. Additional rescheduling will incur a $50 fee per change. Rescheduling requests made within 48 hours of the session will result in forfeiture of the deposit, and a new booking will be required.
04
Late Arrivals
Clients arriving late to the session will forfeit the lost time. Sessions will not be extended or rescheduled due to tardiness. It is the client’s responsibility to arrive on time to make the most of the session.
05
Weather Policy
If weather conditions are unsuitable for outdoor photography, the session may be rescheduled at no additional cost. It is recommended for out-of-town clients to book at the beginning of their trip to allow flexibility for rescheduling.
06
Artistic Style
By booking, clients acknowledge familiarity with the photographer’s portfolio and agree to the creative discretion of the photographer. While every effort will be made to fulfill specific requests, exact poses or outcomes cannot be guaranteed due to the artistic and dynamic nature of photography.
07
Image Delivery
Edited, high-resolution images will be delivered via an online gallery within 7-14 days after the session. Clients are responsible for downloading and saving their images within 30 days of delivery. The photographer is not liable for files lost or deleted after the delivery period.
08
Copyright & Image Use
The photographer retains full copyright over all images taken during the session. Clients are granted personal-use rights for printing and sharing but may not edit, sell, or use the images for commercial purposes without written consent. Unauthorized alterations or commercial use may result in legal action.
09
Model Release
Unless explicitly stated otherwise in writing, clients grant permission for the photographer to use session images for promotional purposes, including but not limited to portfolio, website, and social media marketing. Requests for privacy must be agreed upon before the session.
10
Travel Fees
Sessions outside Broward County, FL, will incur additional travel fees of $20-$50 per hour for driving time. For locations requiring air travel, the client is responsible for all associated costs, including airfare, lodging, and transportation.
11
Liability Limitations
While every effort is made to ensure a successful session, the photographer is not liable for unforeseen circumstances, such as equipment failure, natural disasters, or client behavior, that may affect the outcome. Liability is limited to a refund of payments made, excluding the non-refundable deposit.
12
Refund Policy
All payments, including the deposit and final balance, are non-refundable once services have been rendered. Refunds will only be issued if the photographer cancels the session and no alternative date can be agreed upon.
13
Client Cooperation
The success of the session relies on client cooperation. The photographer is not responsible for the behavior of participants, including children and pets, and cannot guarantee specific results if cooperation is lacking.
14
Additional Fees
Requests for additional edits, changes to delivered images, or services outside the agreed package will incur extra fees. This includes but is not limited to additional retouching, body modifications, or removing unwanted objects from images.
15
Booking Confirmation
A session is not considered confirmed until the deposit is paid and the booking form is signed. By booking, clients agree to all terms and conditions outlined on this page.
