(a) Standard packages do not include photoshoots that are:

(i) for a corporate or commercial purpose; or

8.1 General cancellations

(a) As we incur costs at the time of processing a booking and need to respect the photographers' time, we will only accommodate order cancellations without charge if you have notified us of the cancellation not less than 7 days prior to the date of your Travelshoot booking. Cancellations made within the 7 days prior to the date of your Travelshoot will not be refunded, save that we may in our sole discretion offer a credit note or refund in the event of cancellation due to a customer emergency (natural disaster, illness or direct family member emergency) subject to you providing us with as much prior notice of this as reasonably possible and any relevant documentation that we may reasonably request.

(b) If your cancellation is subject to a charge, we will send through the amount of the charge along with justification of the reasons for the charge prior to finalizing your cancellation.

(f) Where the shoot is interrupted and cannot continue or be rescheduled, we will arrange for a fair percentage of the booking fee, as reasonably determined by us, to be refunded to you.

(g) You agree and acknowledge that if you the customer are late to the shoot – the photographer is liable for waiting no more than 15minutes.
