ENTIRE AGREEMENT: This agreement contains the entire understanding between Nuzum Photo and the CLIENT. It supersedes all prior and simultaneous agreements between the parties. The only way to add or change this agreement is to do so in writing, signed by all the parties. If the parties want to waive one provision of this agreement, that does not mean that any other provision is also waived. The party against whom a waiver is sought to be effective must have signed a waiver in writing.

RESERVATION: A signed contract and reservation fee are required to reserve the specified coverage.

PRE-EVENT CONSULTATION: Nuzum Photo will contact the CLIENT one to two weeks prior to the event to confirm and finalize all terms agreed to within this contract.

SHOOTING TIME / ADDITIONS: The photography schedule and selected methodology are designed to accomplish the goals and wishes of the CLIENT in a manner enjoyed by all parties. CLIENT and Nuzum Photo agree that cheerful cooperation and punctuality are therefore essential to that purpose. Shooting commences at the scheduled start time.

HOUSE RULES: The photographer is limited by the guidelines of the ceremony official or reception site management. CLIENT agrees to accept the technical results of their imposition on the photographer. Negotiation with the officials for moderation of guidelines is CLIENT's responsibility; Nuzum Photo will offer technical recommendations only.

FILM and COPYRIGHTS: Until final payment for services rendered is made, the photographs produced by Nuzum Photo are protected by Federal Copyright Law (all rights reserved) and may not be reproduced in any manner without Nuzum Photo's explicitly written permission. Upon final payment by the CLIENT, limited copyright ownership of the resulting images will be transferred to the CLIENT under the following conditions:

The negatives and or slides are the property of CLIENT for personal use and for the purposes of the reproduction and giving of photographs to friends and relatives.

The Client must obtain written permission from and compensate Nuzum Photo prior to the CLIENT or its friends and relatives publishing or selling the photographs for profit. 

EXHIBITION: Requests for specific negatives or slides to be used by Nuzum Photo may be requested at a future time. CLIENT grants Nuzum Photo permission to display selected images resulting from this assignment as an example of Nuzum Photo’s work and for entrance into photographic competitions and release all claims to profits that may arise from use of images.

MODEL RELEASE. The CLIENT hereby grants to Nuzum Photo and its legal representatives and assigns, the irrevocable and unrestricted right to use and publish photographs of the CLIENT or in which the CLIENT may be included, for editorial, trade, advertising and any other purpose and in any manner and medium; to alter the same without restriction; and to copyright the same. The CLIENT hereby releases Nuzum Photo and its legal representatives and assigns from all claims and liability relating to said photographs.

LIMIT OF LIABILITY: In the unlikely event that the photographer is injured or becomes too ill to photograph the event, Nuzum Photo will make every effort to secure a replacement photographer. If the situation should occur and a suitable replacement is not found, responsibility and liability is limited to the return of all payments received for the event package. Nuzum Photo takes the utmost care with respect to exposure, transportation, and processing the photographs. However, in the unlikely event that photographs have been lost, stolen, or destroyed for reasons within or beyond Nuzum Photo's control, Nuzum Photo liability is limited to the return of all payments received for the event package. The limit of liability for a partial loss of originals shall be a prorated amount of the exposures lost based on the percentage of total number of originals.
