This agreement is made between yourself, hereinafter “You”, and Michael Kormos Photography, LLC (NY) hereinafter “Us/We”. “Session” is any of the photo shoots you have purchased and scheduled for a specific date and time during which we agree to take digital photographs (“Images”) of you and/or your family members.
1 ) You may reschedule your Session with written notice provided at least 48 hours in advance of your Session. Subsequent rescheduling requests and/ or rescheduling less than 48 hours prior to your Session will incur a $300 Rescheduling Fee. Please arrive punctually to make the most of your Session. We will have to reschedule your Session if you arrive more than half-hour late ($300 Rescheduling Fee applies).
2) We offer limited availability to ensure our high quality of work. Please only submit a reservation if you are committed to having a Session with our studio. Refund/Cancellation Policy: Cancellations within 24 hours of booking will receive a full refund. $500 Fee applies to all other cancellations.
3 ) Rain Policy: We maintain the right to reschedule your Session due to inclement weather or unforeseen circumstances. If the weather forecast shows a 40% chance of precipitation (or higher) 8 hours prior to your Session appointment, we will contact you to reschedule for an alternate date free of charge.
4 ) Sessions are limited to immediate family members. Grandparents and other extended family members must be arranged beforehand, and additional fees of $30/person will apply.
5 ) Personal cameras or video recorders are not allowed at the Session. Please respect this rule, as it can be distracting for children and prevents us from doing our job to the best of our abilities.
6 ) 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 offer a free Session with upgrade to a higher package.
7 ) Shortly after your Session you will receive an online proofing gallery to select favorite images for editing. We offer the purchase of additional images for editing in addition to those included in your Session. We DO NOT release RAW unedited images, since they are not a finished product. RAW unedited images in your proofing gallery may not be shared online or downloaded. Any unselected images will be deleted from our archives.
8 ) We use our artistic discretion to edit your selected images in our signature style. You may view samples of our editing style in our Before-And-After Gallery. Additional editing requests are billed separately. Editing the images yourself or by a third party requires our written consent.
9 ) Edited images will be delivered in high resolution via downloadable online gallery. We strongly encourage you to back-up all downloaded images on two devices in case of any hardware failure.
10 ) Orders for prints and other tangible products (e.g. Gallery Wraps, Floating Metal Art, Keepsake Albums, etc.) may not be modified or canceled, and are nonrefundable. By placing an order, you agree that you have fully read and understood the product descriptions in our Product Catalogue. Certain color and tonal variation may occur with all printed products. If an item arrives damaged, please notify us in writing within 48 hours of receipt, so we can handle accordingly.
