AFTER THE SHOOT
When your photographer has captured several excellent shots of your pet, your photographs
will be uploaded to a laptop computer where they will be edited as needed then downloaded to a compact disk (CD) and given
to you right in your own home. Also, you will be able to preview the pictures then your photographer will print out one 8"x10"
print of your choice, again, right in your home. You will get your pictures on CD plus one 8" x 10" print of your
choice right in the comfort of your home,
all at no addtional charge. This is included in the standard 35mm digital
PET SHOTZ package.
If you
order the 35mm PRINT FILM package, then your prints will be MAILED TO YOU after they have been professionally developed. You
are still required to pay the balance due the day of your photo session, however, and there is an additional $10 charge to
cover costs of professional film, professional processing, and mailing. Also note that since print film must be professionally
developed, you will NOT receive a free 8" x 10" print with the print film package. Unless you buy all rights to
the photographs from your photo shoot, you also will NOT receive the negatives but you can have copies made in any size and
quantity from any photo developer at nominal cost.
RELEASE FORMS
While
we
retain all rights to our photographs unless you purchase rights separately, we understand some of our clients do
want enlargements or extra copies for family and friends. As a courtesy to you, your photographer will provide you a
signed Photographer's Release Form that you may give to your own photo processor in order to obtain extra
prints. This will be particularly helpful for our 35mm print film customers. While our digital customers may prefer to print
out their own pictures at home, they, too can take their CD to a film developer for extra prints using the provided Photographer's
Release Form. Please be advised these prints are for your personal enjoyment only and are not to be copied, sold, submitted
for publication, calendars, contests, etc, under penalty of law.
PAYMENT
If you did not
make payment in full [in person, by mail, or online] at the time of your initial contract agreement, then the remaining 50%
balance is
due at the end of the photo shoot for BOTH digital and print film customers.
Please pay your photographer
the remaining balance either by cash or personal check the day of your appointment.
Note there is a $50.00 returned check fee, and we WILL turn accounts
30 days past due over for collection. IMPORTANT NOTE: We reserve the right to refuse service
to anyone we deem as a threat or danger to the photographer and/or assistants, our equipment, etc. Should our photographer
arrive at your home and find you, your family, or friends obviously under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or other controlled
substances, including prescription drugs, or we feel "uneasy" for any reason, we will leave and send you a bill for the full amount due. Therefore,
please be prepared to uphold your part of the contract and show us the same courtesy we extend to you. Thank you for your
consideration and understanding. We appreciate it!CLEAN UP
After your
photo package has been delivered to you, your photographer will pack up all photo equipment and help you return your items
to their rightful places if needed. Please extend your courtesy to the photographer who has a lot of equipment to repack quickly
and securely. Our goal is to leave your home as quickly as possible - and as we found it - but we do have to pack our expensive
equipment securely. Again, we thank you for your understanding.
DISPUTES
Our goal is to please
you, our valued customer, in every aspect of the photographic process. We will work with you - and for you - always, and we
will do everything we can to make sure you are satisfied. While we cannot be responsible for equipment failure and malfunction,
weather conditions, etc, we will take responsibility for things that we feel are due to our own failures. Please know that
our promise to you is that we will work with you on any issue or problem and will resolve it your satisfaction. Thank
you for trusting
PET SHOTZ for all your animal
pictures.
CANCELLATION POLICY
Should it be necessary for you to cancel your appointment,
kindly give us at least 24 hours notice. Since we travel to our clients we need to know about cancellations as soon as possible.
We will gladly refund your money - or reschedule your appointment, as you prefer - for 24 hour cancellation notice. For
less
than 24 hours notice, your money will NOT be refunded.
Also, should your photographer arrive at the scheduled
date and time and you either are not home or unable to allow the photo shoot, then
you will be billed the full amount
of the photo shoot. Our time is valuable and our major expense is in travel so me must hold our clients to a binding
contract. We are sure you understand and we thank you for your cooperation.
Should inclement weather, acts of
war, terrorism, etc, delay the photo shoot, we will gladly refund your money or reschedule your appointment, as you prefer.
Should your photographer be unable to keep the appointment, we will gladly refund your money in full or reschedule your
appointment, as you prefer. We offer 10% off any rescheduled photo session where the cancellation was the fault of
PET SHOTZ.

HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE
We work as quickly and efficiently as possible. Regardless, we have equipment to set up and then repack, which
will take anywhere from 30 to 40 minutes, EACH. The photo session can last up to an hour or more, depending on the animals.
Addtionally, our digital package customers will have their photos uploaded to a laptop, edited, and then downloaded to a CD,
as well as one 8" x 10" printed out right on site.
All of this takes time. We ask that you dedicate
at least four hours to your appointment. While most sessions don't take nearly that long, we need the time necessary to
deliver to you the quality photo package you deserve. Please help us help you, our valued customer! Again, we
thank you in advance for your cooperation.
WE WILL ALSO PHOTOGRAPH FARM ANIMALS AND LIVESTOCK!THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN PET SHOTZ.
