This Client agreement including the following terms and conditions is a Contract for products and services provided by Dan Harris PhotoArt, LLC, a Florida Corporation and applies to all services and products (packages) incorporated herein whether typed or handwritten. Dan Harris PhotoArt, LLC should be notified immediately of any changes in scheduling or location. It is the Clients responsibility to confirm all arrangements 7-14 days prior to the date of the event and to notify Dan Harris PhotoArt, LLC of any change of starting times, locations, address or contact information as listed on this contract. Please do not assume that an e-mail was received without a return response.

Fifty percent of the service and packaged products purchased is due within 6 months of the event as a partial reservation fee. If 50% is not paid by the end of the 6th month before the event, the reservation will be forfeited and the date will be made available to other interested parties. $1,000.00 of this reservation fee is due upon execution of this contract and will reserve the date and time specified. The total package price (including all products and services) must be paid 30 days prior to the event or all package incentives and/or discounts will be null and void. Additional custom items ordered after the event must be paid-in-full at the time of order placement. Additional hours (or portion thereof) beyond the time contracted in the package will be billed at the contracted hourly rate. Title (possession) of all products shall remain with the studio until paid-in-full. In the unlikely event of any dispute all production and services will be put on hold and no products will be delivered until such time as the dispute is resolved. Please be aware that due to the timely nature of our resource scheduling commitments coupled with our generous payment programs, we have a very aggressive payment and collection policy. (Final notice is at 30-days past due and collections begin at 60-days).

All photos are copyrighted by Dan Harris PhotoArt, LLC. In the event Dan Harris PhotoArt, LLC offers to sell you the negatives and/or hi-resolution digital files or digital print files (including a written print release) you agree that these originals are for your personal use only (unrestricted for both personal print and web applications, but you can't sell or make money from them, including selling reprints, without paying additional compensation) and that the photographer retains the full copyright for commercial uses. We can only promise to store the original negatives and digital print files from your event for a minimum of 24 months after your event and cannot guarantee any additional storage time thereafter because we are physically running out of storage space. When you place a print order we will store that digital print file in our fireproof safe for a minimum of 5 years at the size and resolution of that print order. We will store the album digital print files indefinately in our fireproof safe in case an album needed to be reprinted or replaced. Digital print files from events or photo sessions are only offered for purchase at our discretion (after minimum purchase requirements have been met and then only delivered after those credits are used and the album has been delivered) and may not be purchased with pre-paid package credits. If we do not hear from you or you choose not to purchase your original negatives or digital print files they will eventually be discarded.

NOTICE OF COPYRIGHT: It is ILLEGAL to copy, scan or reproduce these photographs elsewhere without a written release, and violators of this federal law will be subject to its civil and criminal penalties. Dan Harris PhotoArt, LLC shall have no responsibility for fire or theft or other casualty or liability for failure to supply any product or service when prevented from so doing by acts of God, strikes, labor disputes, death, accidents, illness or emergency, equipment malfunction or any cause beyond the photographer's reasonable control. In the event of an unforeseen emergency Dan Harris PhotoArt, LLC will make every effort to provide a replacement photographer.

Dan Harris personally is not contractually obligated to be in attendance at any event with a contracted prepaid amount of less than $3,600 or any event priced specifically for The Assistants of Dan Harris PhotoArt but may send one or more of his qualified assistants to photograph at the event. Dan will oversee all post-production services including: processing, image editing, retouching, reprinting, album design, layout and assembly. Some products availability may be limited until such time as certain conditions are met. (i.e.: small albums, mini albums or duplicate parent albums cannot be delivered until the original large or medium album is complete.)

Dan Harris PhotoArt, LLC takes the utmost care with respect to the exposure, development, storage and delivery of photographs and will make every reasonable effort to satisfy the client and reserves the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason and terminate their contract by returning any unused monies. Grounds for immediate termination include, but are not limited to: hazardous conditions, threats, excessive rudeness, abusiveness, slander and libelous statements, late payments, missing paperwork, a contract without a signature, lack of cooperation, contract violation and non-responsiveness. In the event of failure for any reason to comply with the terms of this contract, liability of Dan Harris PhotoArt, LLC is limited to the refund of monies paid in the contracted amount. All parties to this contract hereby agree that said refund shall terminate any further liability to this agreement and that the amount of liability cannot exceed the amount of this Contract.

Dan Harris PhotoArt, LLC warrantees all their products for a period of 90-days from delivery and will fix or replace any items found defective. The customer must first notify and get return authorization from Dan Harris PhotoArt, LLC prior to returning any item. Repair or replacement of any returned item will be at the sole discretion of Dan Harris PhotoArt, LLC. Our quality control standards dictate that no replacement or repair work will begin, under any circumstance, until the returned item has been received. We offer a limited number of finishes with each product purchased based on years of longevity testing and quality assurance. We are unable to offer untested alternative or inferior product finishes as a part of our product guarantees. If the client gets a return authorization but never returns the item it is hereby acknowledged that the client changed their mind and decided to accept the item in its current state as completely satisfactory. The act of filing a complaint or requesting a return authorization in no way extends the 90-day warrantee period.

We may put time limits on album or reprint ordering and contracted pricing can only be guaranteed for 120-days after your event and orders received thereafter will be subject to any increase of prevailing prices. Upon notification, the undersigned must arrange for pick-up or delivery of completed orders (at your own expense) within a reasonable time period, not to exceed 30 days. The studio is not responsible for any damage that may be incurred while ordered products are in storage after the 30-day period. The terms of this agreement are valid for six (6) months (180 days) after the date of the event. If no correspondence is received from the Client by that date or any future 180 day period, this agreement will be considered completed in full. Product credits and special incentive pricing must be used within one year of the event date.

Upon default of any payment, package discounts and any incentives will be void, late fees and interest charges (1.5% per month- 18% per year) will be assessed ($25 returned check charge) and the Client will assume responsibility for any and all collection costs and legal fees incurred.
