Terms and Conditions

SESSION
This agreement is made between the Parent/Child(ren) listed above, hereinafter “You”, and Michael Kormos Photography LLC, hereinafter “Us/We”.

SESSION
1 ) Unless otherwise stated, Session Fees cover time and talent only, and secure your appointment with us. Session Fees (including any print credit) are non-refundable. You may reschedule your Session once, provided you give us written notice at least 24 hours in advance. Rescheduling your Session for a second time will forfeit your Session Fee. Please be punctual. We try our best to allow for some flexibility. However, if you arrive 15 minutes past your appointment, we will have to reschedule your Session ($50 fee applies).

2 ) Other cameras or video recorders are not allowed at the Session. Please respect this rule, as it can be distracting to children and prevents us from doing our job to the best of our abilities.

3 ) We maintain the right to reschedule the Session appointment due to inclement weather or personal emergency.

4 ) In the unlikely event of a hardware failure, loss, or theft of our equipment, we are not responsible for any images lost or stolen. In such an event, we will refund your Session Fee.

PROOFING AND ORDERING
5 ) Your proofs will be available approximately 3 weeks after your Session.

a) Mini-Sessions are proofed online, and yield 8 proofs. You will receive an e-mail with a link to your private Proofing Gallery, as well as instructions to redeem your inclusive items. Your Proofing Gallery will be accessible for a period of seven days. Please be prepared to place your order and redeem your inclusive items in that time. There is a $50 fee to have the Proofing Gallery extended for another seven day period.

b) Portrait Sessions are proofed in-person at our Midtown Manhattan studio, and yield 20-30 retouched proofs. During your proofing session, we will help you select your favorite portraits, and the best way to display your works of art.

6 ) All unordered images will be permanently deleted 30 days after your proofs have been made available.

PRINTS AND OTHER PRODUCTS
7 ) Once you’ve placed an order for prints and products, no refunds or exchanges are offered. Due to the custom nature of our products, they are sold “as-is” without warranty of any kind. Once you place an order, it may not be modified or canceled. If an item arrives damaged, you must notify us in writing within 48 hours of its receipt.

8 ) Creative privilege: As the artists, we use our artistic discretion to carefully select the Proofs for your Gallery, as well as the post-processing and retouching (including cropping in final prints and products). We do not release raw, unretouched images, since these are not considered to be a finished product. Additional retouching is billed separately.

9 ) For details and pricing of our prints and products, please visit the INVESTMENT section of our website, or consult our Product Guide. If you have a question about a product, please ask prior to placing your order. Orders are subject to a $500 print purchase minimum (excluding Mini Sessions).

10 ) Prices are guaranteed for 30 days. No refunds, exchanges or credits are offered on any items purchased. All orders are subject to NY State Sales Tax. All sales are final. By placing an order, you agree that you have fully read and understood all product descriptions as listed on our website and our Product Guide. Certain color and tonal variation occur with all products, and color may fade over time.

11 ) These policies and Terms and Conditions will apply to all, current and future photo sessions with Michael Kormos Photography.

12) For valuable consideration, you, the parent/legal guardian of the aforementioned Child(ren) grant us permission to use the images (in which you and/or your children appear) in any way, as means of promoting our business. We respect your privacy, and we never use real names in connection with any of the images. You hereby release and discharge us from any and all claims and demands ensuing from or in connection with the use of the images, including any and all claims for libel and invasion of privacy. This authorization and release shall inure to the benefit of the legal representatives, licensees and assignees of Michael Kormos Photography LLC.

LIABILITY WAIVER
You release Michael Kormos Photography LLC and its employees from all claims, damages, and liabilities that may result from accidents or incidents that occur during the Session.
