An additional 25% of price quote / event cost is due 60 days before your event. Final payment (the remaining 25% of price quote / event cost and any additional charges such as postage, add-ons, additional hours, etc.) is due prior to release or shipment of final work products (photographs, digital images, prints and / or DVD productions).

Postponement, Cancellation and Refund Policy: Any taxes, travel fees and costs incurred by Russeau Inc, Videographer or Photographer in preparation for the event or fees associated with returning Client’s photographs or other materials submitted to Photographer and / or Videographer will be deducted from any Deposits held prior to Client being issued any deposit refund. Any remaining deposit will be subject to sales taxes and applicable booking fees as follows before any remaining Client’s deposit will then be returned: (i) in the event of cancellation by Client greater than 60 days before the event, no booking fee will be retained, (ii) in the event of cancellation by Client between 31 days and 60 days before the event, a 30% booking fee will be retained from all deposits, (iii) for cancellations 30 days or less from event, a 50% booking fee will be retained from all deposits received.

All attempts to reschedule a date within 180 days of the Event will be made by both parties prior to cancellation due to such events. Examples of weather or natural conditions include, but are not limited to: mandatory evacuation orders, natural disasters, storms (rain, wind, etc), flooding, power outages, road closures, traffic accidents, etc. These moneys will be considered as liquidated damages and compensation to the Videographer and / or Photographer for loss of income; it is not a penalty.

Outstanding Balances: if Client fails to provide for or complete final payment for services after 90 days of event, all work products will be considered abandoned by Client and will be up to the discretion of the Photographer and / or Videographer to dispose of these items. Notice will be provided to the Client of these intentions in the form of an outstanding balance statement. Failure to ship final work product based on non-payment of outstanding balance under the terms of this Paragraph does not constitute a failure of Photographer and / or Videographer to fulfill the terms of this Agreement. All payments made to Photographer and / or Videographer will be considered as payment for their services rendered to date and shall not entitle Client to any refund.

Rehearsal Fee: Client understands that for some events it may be necessary to have the Photographer and / or Videographer attend the rehearsal in order to prepare and plan for the ceremony events (e.g. church weddings where limitations by clergy may be placed on the Videographer‘s camera placement or locations, or on the use of the photographic flash during certain portions of the ceremony). Being present for rehearsal will not eliminate these issues but will help to plan and mitigate for such events. Client also understands that a rehearsal fee will be assessed for this time according to the terms laid out in the contract. Client understands it is not the Photographer’s and / or Videographer’s requirement to attend rehearsal unless the Client requests it and there is compensation to the Photographer and / or Videographer for their time and services in attending.
