Terms and Conditions


We hereby acknowledge the following terms and conditions stated as follows:


COMMUNICATION


The parties agree to cheerful cooperation and communication for the best possible result within the definition of this assignment. Mellow Pictures recommends the “CLIENT” to designate an "event guide" or "timekeeper" to point out important individual(s) / subjects / venue for informal or candid photographs to the photographer during the Event. The photographer will not be held accountable for not including photography of these desired photo subjects if there is no such assistance provided.


PRIORITY


By engaging and confirming the services of Mellow Pictures, the “CLIENT” agrees to giving priority to crew members of Mellow Pictures over any other photographers engaged by the “CLIENT” to avoid any degradation of photos quality.


CLIENT’S OBLIGATION


The “CLIENT” agrees to inform guests not to interfere with the photographer’s work during the wedding. While guests are permitted to their own photography during the event, Mellow Pictures cannot be held accountable for lack of wedding photos if the guests use flash while taking their own photos or obstruct the photographer’s movement.

The photographer is limited by the guidelines of the ceremony official or reception site management. The “CLIENT” agrees to accept the technical results of their imposition on the photographer. Negotiation with the officials for moderation of guidelines is the “CLIENT”’s responsibility; Mellow Pictures will offer technical recommendations only. Mellow Pictures will make every effort to mitigate the issue as much as possible. However, Mellow Pictures shall be discharged of all liabilities in the event that the discussed solution is not executed properly.

By engaging Mellow Pictures, the “CLIENT” agrees to have assessed its portfolio and accepts the composition quality, documentary and artistic value represented by the employees of Mellow Pictures. The “CLIENT” shall not hold Mellow Pictures accountable for any dispute arising from this. 

The photography schedule and selected methodology are designed to accomplish the goals and wishes of the “CLIENT” in a manner enjoyed by all parties. The “CLIENT” and Mellow Pictures agree that professional cooperation and punctuality are therefore essential to produce the desired results. Shooting commences at the scheduled start time with a 15mins grace period.


SPECIAL REQUESTS


Any special requests from the “CLIENT” are not binding instructions but every effort shall be made to comply with the requests, permitting that there is adequate time. The “CLIENT” agrees that any deviation from the schedule will result in unfulfilled photography requests.

  • The “CLIENT” hereby grants to Mellow Pictures and its legal representatives and assigns, the irrevocable and unrestricted right to use and publish photographs of the “CLIENT” or in which the “CLIENT” may be included, for editorial, trade, advertising and any other purpose and in any manner and medium; to alter the same without restriction; and to copyright the same unless specified otherwise by the “CLIENT”. The “CLIENT” hereby releases Mellow Pictures and its legal representatives and assigns from all claims and liability relating to said photographs. Mellow Pictures shall take reasonable care to post only photos of the “CLIENT” into public domain. The “CLIENT” understands that it is their responsibility to highlight any intention of keeping the photos and videos private at the start of the service confirmation to avoid any misunderstandings after delivery of the package.


Limited Liability


In the unlikely event that the crew member is injured or becomes too ill to provide the agreed services, Mellow Pictures will make every effort to secure a replacement manpower. If the situation should occur and a suitable replacement is not found, responsibility and liability is limited to the return of all payments received for the event package.

Mellow Pictures takes the utmost care with respect to exposure, transportation, and processing the photographs. However, in the unlikely event that photographs are lost, stolen, or destroyed for reasons within or beyond Mellow Pictures’ control, Mellow Pictures’ liability is limited to the return of all payments received for the event package. The limit of liability for a partial loss of originals shall be a prorated amount of the exposures lost based on the percentage of total number of originals.
