Terms and References
SRC Photography is a trading name of Stephen R Cox
The Client is an individual, sole trader or company requiring photographic services from SRC Photography
In the absence of a specific Contract
In the absence of a specific contract pertaining to a written or verbal commission it is agreed between SRC Photography and the Commissioning Client ‘the Client’ that these Terms & Conditions in conjunction with all written and verbal agreements form the basis of the Commission.
Payment Terms
Payment terms vary according to the job and Client. As a default full payment of the invoice is expected within seven days of the invoice date and is usually required before the final image files are released to the Client.  Some jobs require payment at the shoot time or prior to the shoot date so specific payment terms relating to any job will be detailed with the quote. SRC Photography reserves the right to charge an administration fee of £25.00 per letter/telephone call/email in pursuance of late invoice payment. Late payments exceeding 21 days (counted from day eight after the invoice date) may be charged at 8% plus the Bank of England base rate.
Payment Options
Off invoice you will have an online card facility provided by Stripe.  Bank details are available for BACS.  Payment by card or cash can be made in the studio.
Quotes & Estimates
Any fees stated and/or confirmed based on a completed commission are provided as an estimate in so much as additional work and/or expenses will be chargeable in line with the main fee structure or as agreed with the Client.
Confirmation of Terms
Confirmation of booking, verbal or written, confirms the client’s acceptance of these Terms and Conditions. Once the Client has confirmed a booking for a  time and date, SRC Photography will not accept any other work  from other clients for those times and dates. As a result, if a booking is subsequently cancelled or postponed, SRC Photography reserves the right to charge the Client a cancellation fee as per the following schedule below.
Booking and Cancellation Fees
A booking fee may be applied to quotes. Booking fees are non-returnable when a Client cancels or misses the shoot date/time. A paid booking fee is credited towards the invoice.
A booking is considered firm as from the date of confirmation and accordingly SRC Photography reserves the right to charge a fee for cancellation or postponement. This fee would normally be charged at the following rate:  When a client cancels a booking within 7 days of any confirmed date, a fee of 50% of the booked time rate will be charged.  When a client cancels photography within 2 days of any confirmed date, a  fee of 100% of the booked time rate will be charged. In the event of the job being rescheduled 50% of this fee will be credited to the new invoice when the assignment is completed.
Note:  Any cancellation fee payable may include additional cancellation  charges incurred or payable by SRC Photography in respect of (not limited to) model fees, stylist charges, prop searches and purchase expenditure etc.
Flash Photography
SRC Photography uses flash photography when the need arises. It is important that the Client ensures that all participants are aware that flash photography takes place and that SRC Photography is informed in advance if this is difficult for anyone.
