Hartter Photography, LLC
General Release and Contract

I, hereby grant and authorize the right to take, edit, alter, copy, exhibit, publish, distribute and make use of any and all pictures or video taken of me to be used in and/or for legally promotional materials including, but not limited to, newsletters, flyers, posters, brochures, advertisements, fundraising letters, annual reports, press kits and submissions to journalists, websites, social networking sites and other print and digital communications, without payment or any other consideration. This authorization extends to all languages, media, formats and markets now known or hereafter devised. This authorization shall continue indefinitely, unless I otherwise revoke said authorization in writing.

 

I understand and agree that these materials shall become the property of Hartter Photography, and will not be returned. I understand I have no ownership as to digital and/or copyright materials or any other rights as to materials generated, produced, created or in any other way brought into existence by Hartter Photography. I understand that the purchase of any physical manifestation of images does not on any way change the ownership rights hereby stated. I understand I may not further reproduce any physical or data file images other than personal display only. I hereby hold harmless, and release from all liability, petitions, and causes of action which I, my heirs, representative, executors, administrators, or any other persons may make while acting on my behalf or on behalf of my estate. I further agree that may not bring any cush claim against Hartter Photography related to allegations of negligence as to property or venue choice, location, condition or any other such claims.

 

I understand that despite the best efforts of all parties, that circumstances may dictate that any specific scheduled event may need to be cancelled, moved or in other ways be changed. I agree that the security deposit paid upon booking is non-refundable, no exceptions. I agree that if I need to reschedule within 24 hours of my intended session, my session is cancelled. I agree that the security deposit can be used as credit toward a separate session that must be used within 2 months of my original session date. I agree that if I do not notify Hartter Photography by email or text, and do not show up for my session on my agreed upon date and time, my session is cancelled, deposit is not refunded and will not be rescheduled. I agree that Hartter Photography shall not be responsible in any way for any costs incurred through such changes. I understand that photography is an art form. I understand that images may not be to my satisfaction for any number of reasons and agree the same to be beyond the control of Hartter Photography. I agree I am paying for services, such services being defined as Photography Services and agree to pay the agreed upon rate for those services independent of the images that may be produced. I understand that this is a legally binding contract.
