13. Both you and All The Daisies Photography agree to cheerful co-operation and communication for the best possible result within the definition of this assignment. All The Daisies Photography is not responsible if key individuals fail to appear, fail to co-operate during photography sessions, or for failure to capture images due to details not revealed to All The Daisies Photography. All The Daisies Photography recommends that you designate an ‘event guide’ (normally the MC or member of the Bridal Party) to point out important individuals for informal or candid photographs to All The Daisies Photography during the Wedding Day.
14. It is understood that All The Daisies Photography requires sufficient warning of key events at the wedding to give suitable and enough time to prepare for capturing any necessary or important moments e.g. bouquet throwing, cutting of the cake, speeches, first dance, and/or any other important formalities or surprises. It is understood that if any additional time outside of our chosen package is required, it will be invoiced to us after the wedding date, at a rate of $200 per hour.
15. Exclusivity: In order to provide the best service and photographs possible, All The Daisies Photography must be the only vendor offering a photography service at the wedding. Other vendors offering photography as an 'add-on' to their primary service, are not permitted. Amateur or professional photographers who are guests/family members are welcome to capture some moments at your discretion, however All The Daisies Photography will request that this ceases, if the guest/family member is hindering or inhibiting the ability for All The Daisies Photography to document the wedding effectively. All The Daisies Photography cannot be held responsible for shots missed or compromised due to interference by other wedding guests, or vendors. All The Daisies Photography has full exclusivity to all social media platforms to be the first vendor to show professional photographs from the day.
16. All The Daisies Photography is not liable for any loss of digital images beyond the final delivery of all products included in the package. While All The Daisies Photography currently maintains backups of all digital images, it is recommended that you also keep backup versions of your copies in case of unexpected loss of their or your copies.
17. If any provision of this agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable under the law, the validity of this agreement as a whole shall not be affected, and the other provisions of the agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
