RAMONA HARTLEY PHOTOGRAPHY

1. A deposit of $25 must be paid-in-full before the start of any photo session, the remainder due upon completion of the in-person session.
   Refunds are offered when I cannot complete the photo session. Or, if a pet becomes too ill for the session, I will offer a refund, or you can gift the session to a friend and their pet.
2. If inclement weather or other adverse conditions prevent the photo session from meeting my artistic standards, I may choose an alternate location or reschedule the session at no extra cost to you.
3. The welfare of the dogs is my paramount priority. I reserve the right to refuse to do a session if I feel a dog’s well-being is compromised.
4. There is no minimum or maximum number of images taken or published per session. My priority is quality and variety over quantity.
5. The client may postpone their session date at any time for any reason up to a week before the date, but after this date, it must be a valid reason, e.g. sickness or car breakdown.

The Client agreeing to these terms and conditions, warrants that they have actual authority to agree to the use of the likeness of all pets included in the photos and shall indemnify and defend Ramona Hartley Photography in the event of litigation arising out of such use.
