Terms of Service

Overview

These Terms of Service govern photography services provided by LilDevy Photography, including portrait sessions, event coverage, and related digital gallery delivery. By booking a session, paying an invoice, or using this website, you agree to these terms.

Booking and Retainer

A session date is not reserved until a signed agreement (when required) and non-refundable retainer are received. The retainer is applied to your total package price and secures scheduling, planning, and preparation time.

Payments and Fees

Final balances are due by the deadline listed on your invoice. If a balance is overdue, LilDevy Photography may pause delivery of galleries, edits, or products until payment is completed. Any additional travel, studio rental, permit, rush, or add-on fees will be clearly communicated before confirmation.

Rescheduling and Cancellation

Clients may request a reschedule with advance notice, subject to availability. Last-minute cancellations or no-shows may require a new retainer to rebook. If weather, venue restrictions, illness, emergencies, or safety conditions prevent coverage, both parties will work in good faith to reschedule.

Session Scope and Creative Direction

Clients are responsible for accurately communicating desired style, shot priorities, timing, and locations before the session date. LilDevy Photography maintains artistic discretion regarding composition, lighting, posing, and post-processing style to produce a cohesive final gallery.

Turnaround and Delivery

Delivery timelines are estimates and may vary by season, package, and workload. Final images are delivered through an online gallery or agreed method. RAW/unedited files are not included unless explicitly stated in writing.

Edits and Revisions

Standard color correction and stylistic editing are included based on the selected package. Additional revision requests beyond package scope may incur extra fees. Extensive retouching (such as advanced object removal or body modifications) is optional and quoted separately.

Copyright and Image Usage

LilDevy Photography retains copyright ownership of all images unless a separate written buyout is executed. Clients receive a personal-use license to download, share, and print delivered images for non-commercial use. Commercial, resale, publication, contest, or advertising usage requires prior written approval and may require additional licensing fees.

Portfolio and Promotional Use

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, LilDevy Photography may display selected images for portfolio, website, social media, educational, and promotional purposes. Clients may request reasonable privacy limitations before booking.

Client Responsibilities

Clients are responsible for obtaining location permissions, permits, and access approvals unless otherwise agreed. Clients also agree to maintain a safe working environment for all participants. Harassment, unsafe behavior, or illegal activity may result in immediate termination of services without refund.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent allowed by law, LilDevy Photography is not liable for indirect or consequential damages, including missed moments caused by circumstances outside reasonable control. In any event, total liability is limited to the amount paid under the applicable booking.

Force Majeure

Neither party will be liable for delays or non-performance caused by events beyond reasonable control, including severe weather, natural disasters, travel shutdowns, government restrictions, illness, or technical outages.

Refunds

Because session dates and preparation time are reserved in advance, retainers are non-refundable. Refund requests for completed services are handled on a case-by-case basis and only where required by law or explicitly stated in writing.

Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction where LilDevy Photography operates. Any dispute will be handled in the appropriate courts of that jurisdiction unless both parties agree to an alternative resolution method.

Changes to Terms

These Terms may be updated periodically to reflect service, legal, or policy changes. Updated terms become effective when published on this page.
