TERMS

FILE TYPES & RESOLUTIONS
The images will be delivered as high-resolution JPGs in either portrait or landscape format. If you need them in a different format or file type, a processing charge of $70 per hour will apply (with a minimum charge of $30).
IMAGE DUE DATES
I need a time frame of 7 days from the date of the shoot to deliver the final images.
PAYMENT TERMS
Payment is due within 14 days from the invoice date. Any overdue invoices will be subject to a 15% late fee per week until the payment is received.
RESCHEDULING & CANCELLATIONS
I completely understand that unforeseen events can happen, such as delayed product deliveries or misprinted labels. However, please bear in mind that as a freelancer, your booking represents my entire days work. If you cancel or change the dates at the last minute, it will lead to a loss of income for me. Therefore, kindly give me at least a week’s notice for any postponements or cancellations so that I can try to book another client for that slot. In case of cancellations within 48 hours, a fee of 30% will be charged, while a fee of 50% will be charged for cancellations within 24 hours.
RESHOOTS
The work that I’ll deliver will be based on the brief provided by you, the client, and our conversations about the direction of the images. In case the final product is substantially different from our discussed concept, a reshoot will be required, and the cost for the same will be charged in full.
RETOUCHING
Products will be photographed in the condition in which they are received. Any retouching required for labels or products will be subject to an hourly charge of $70.
EDITING & MODIFICATIONS
The images produced by Lilly Smith are her sole property. You are paying for the rights to use these images as agreed upon. The images cannot be altered or modified in any way unless agreed upon beforehand. This includes the addition of filters, cutting out portions, or altering colours.
RETURNING & STORING STOCK
If you want your products to be returned, kindly provide a return courier ticket inside the package when you send them to me. Otherwise, I can
arrange the courier service and add the costs to your bill. Please note that if the items are left uncollected or unreturned for 30 days, I reserve the right to dispose of them at my discretion, which may include giving
them away or donating them to charity.
