1. Booking Conditions
1.1 Bookings are accepted on these terms and conditions only. No condition may be added, omitted or altered unless we have agreed it in writing with you.
1.2 Any addition omission or alteration that we may agree does not affect any other term or condition.
1.3 When you sign the contract form (found on the website) you will be deemed to have read and accepted these terms and conditions.
1.4 You specifically confirm to us that the information that you have provided in the contract form (and any other forms) is true and accurate in all respects.
1.5 You acknowledge that you are within your rights to cancel a booking within a 14 day ‘cooling off period’ during which any amount paid to Noah Werth Film & Photography will be reimbursed within 7 days to your payment account with no questions asked. In such cases, we may be required to take any relevant details from you in order to make a reimbursement.
2. Payment Conditions
2.1 Once a booking has been accepted you must pay the deposit that we have agreed within 7 days of signing the online contract. Until we have received the deposit (and if by cheque, that cheque has cleared) we are under no obligation to carry out any of our obligations. Please note that this contract remains in force even if you have not paid the deposit and we shall be entitled to enforce it.
2.2 You must pay us the balance of the price (shown on the final payment invoice) in full (and if by cheque that cheque has cleared) at least 4 weeks before the date when the event is to take place. If you do not do so we will not have any liability to you, and if we so decide we shall be entitled in our absolute discretion to forfeit the whole or part of the deposit.
2.3 If you cancel this booking:
(1) more than 90 days before the date of the event then the deposit will be forfeited, but no further sum is payable by you;
(2) within 90 days of the date of the event a sum amounting to 50 per cent of the Price is payable by you;
(3) within 30 days of the date of the event, a sum amounting to 95 per cent of the Price is payable by you.
2.4 Any cancellation must be notified to us in writing (or email) addressed to us at our business address.
2.5 The Price is based on a full day of shooting time. An extra charge is payable in the event of recording time running over by 2 hours for whatever reason.
3. Restrictions on our liability to you. (Please note this section is important and should be carefully read by you since it limits your rights. Please ask us if you need any further clarification).
3.1 We will make every reasonable effort to secure a replacement cameraman if for any reason the cameraman is unable to carry out the engagement. In those circumstances however, our liability to you is limited to making a refund of the sums that you have paid us in respect of the booking. We will be entitled to deduct any out of pocket expenses that we have reasonably incurred or paid to a third party.
3.2 Although we make every reasonable effort to ensure that all the equipment we use for your Event is in sound working order if a problem with the equipment should arise our liability to you is limited to making a refund of the sums that you have paid us in respect of the booking. We will be entitled to deduct any out of pocket expenses that we have reasonably incurred or paid to a third party. In the event of a part of the Event being recorded, we will, in that case, return a fair proportion of the Price.
3.3 Although we will use every reasonable effort to record significant parts of the Event (including any part of the ceremony) the decision as to what is comprised in the recording is in our absolute discretion. We can give no assurance that we will successfully record any particular aspect of the Event (even though you may have asked us to do so), and any failure by us to capture any particular aspect of the Event or failure does not give you any right to refuse to pay the Price or obtain a refund.
3.4 When you enter into this booking you accept that we cannot accept any liability whether it is a financial or any other kind of loss, which arises either as a direct result or as an indirect result or as a consequence of any failure by us of our obligations to you in this booking except for our obligation to return all or part of any sums that you have paid to us in accordance with these conditions.
3.5 We do not exclude our liability to you for any death or personal injury or damage to property that may have been caused by our negligence or that of any our employees.
3.6 We will carry out services with all reasonable care and skill. You accept that any other warranty or legal obligation on our part or placed on us by any legislation (such as the Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982 and the Sale of Goods Act 1993) or arising under common law is excluded in so far as it possible to do so.
3.7 Although these exclusions or limitations may appear to be comprehensive you agree that it is fair and reasonable for us to limit our liability. This is because if we were to accept additional liability we would need to insure against that liability or loss which will then increase our prices. You accept that you understand this and agree that it is reasonable to us to limit our liability in this way.
4. Ownership of the Footage and copyright
4.1 All of your event footage will belong to Noah Werth Film & Photography. Noah Werth Film & Photography will have and own full copyright ownership of all the material documented (both edited and unedited footage, photography and video) once your final payment invoice has been paid and payment has cleared.
4.2 We do not accept liability in relation to any loss of and/or damage to the footage.
4.3 Master footage is securely kept on a hard drive for a period of 6 months then permanently deleted.
4.4 We confirm that we will comply with the provisions of the Data Protection Act 1998 as it relates to your personal data. Please note that we shall be entitled to assume unless you inform us otherwise prior to the Event that all persons attending the Event have consented to being recorded.
5. Extras
5.1 If you ask us to provide any extra services after you have signed the Booking form these may be subject to additional payments which we will agree with you. Those extra services will, if accepted by us, be carried out on the basis of these terms and conditions
6. Consents
6.1 Please note that it is your responsibility to obtain the consent from the owners of the Church or other venue where the Event is being held and all other persons involved in the Event, such as any person conducting the ceremony, the choir organist and other musicians to record the Event before it takes place and to pay any fees charged by them. If you fail to do so, this may mean that we are unable to record the ceremony or the Event or release the footage to you until that consent (which is required for copyright reasons) has been obtained.
7. Filming & Editing
7.1 We will try to agree a schedule of contents of the recording with you. Please note that the contents of that schedule does not form part of our agreement with you.
7.2 We will assume that you accept the quality of the finished edited footage unless you tell us to the contrary in writing (or email) within 2 weeks of the footage being sent to you. If you do notify us within that period you must also tell us what your complaint is in as much detail as possible. If we do not receive any complaint within that period we shall be entitled to assume that you are satisfied with it and we will then be under no further obligation to accept any complaint, unless we then agree.
7.3 If you wish to have any changes to your finished film(s) or images then written or email notice must be sent to us within 2 weeks of your gallery being delivered. If any changes to your wedding films or images is sent to us after this time period then we reserve the right to charge an additional fee for these changes in agreement with yourselves.
7.4 We will use all reasonable efforts to deal with any complaint promptly and if it is something that is justified and we can remedy, we will do so. If we do not consider your complaint to be valid then we will tell you promptly.
8. Coronavirus (Covid-19) Global Pandemic
Due to the current global pandemic I have outlined some clear and basic Coronavirus related terms below. These are up to date as of October 2020. If you have any specific questions regarding your booking then please do get in touch on [email protected]
8.1 When booking your wedding date with Noah Werth Film & Photography you have entered into a contract based around the reservation of a specific date.
8.2 If you are forced to change your previously contracted date due to governmental law being imposed, such as a local or national lockdown, restrictions on capacity or number of guests, contracting coronavirus or any other coronavirus related reason then Noah Werth Film & Photography is more than happy to arrange an alternative date at no extra cost to your previously booked package.
8.3 If you choose to postpone/re-arrange your date without any governmental imposed mandate such as stated above in point 8.2 then your booking may incur a change in cost. This will be determined on a case by case basis by Noah Werth Film & Photography.
8.4 If you choose to cancel your wedding entirely, any deposit payments made will be forfeited but no further payment will be required. If you cancel your wedding after full payment has been made then the full amount minus the deposit will be refunded.
8.5 If you postpone your wedding to a date where none of the Noah Werth Film & Photography team are able to capture your wedding then your deposit payment will be forfeited but no further payment will be required.
