Non-Refundable Booking Fee Acknowledgement

Booking Fee and Cancellation Policy

At SDS , we strive to provide a seamless and professional experience for all our clients. To secure your photo session booking, a non-refundable booking fee is required at the time of scheduling. This fee is essential to reserve your session and ensure the necessary preparations are in place.

Why is the Booking Fee Non-Refundable?

  1. Time and Resources: Booking your session blocks our time exclusively for you, preventing other clients from reserving the same slot.
  2. Session Preparations: The fee covers initial planning, administrative tasks, and any upfront costs associated with your session.
  3. Commitment Assurance: By securing the session with a booking fee, we can guarantee your time slot and prioritize your needs.
Session Agreement & Policies
I understand that my session is not confirmed until the retainer is paid. Weather cancellations will be made at the photographers discretions. Tardiness of my session will not delay my session. My session will remain within the scheduled time frame.
SDS Understands that sometimes things come up and you may need to cancel. SDS has a 30% cancellation fee. If you are unable to make the appointment, please kindly notify SDS Modeling Co at t 6819455700 or admin@sdsmodelingco.com as soon as possible to reschedule.

Rescheduling Policy

We understand that unexpected circumstances may arise. If you need to reschedule, please notify us at least 48 hours before your scheduled session. In such cases, the booking fee will be applied to your rescheduled session. Cancellations or rescheduling requests made less than 48 hours prior will result in the forfeiture of the booking fee.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. This policy enables us to maintain a high standard of service and ensure availability for all clients.

Copyright & Policies

 As a client of SDS Creative Co I acknowledge and understand that the images taken by SDS Creative Co and its photographers are protected by federal copyright laws.

It is illegal to scan, copy, print, or reproduce these images without the permission of SDS Modeling Co and the photographers. Violators of this law will face civil and criminal penalties. A limited print release is provided with the purchase of my session, along with high-resolution digital files. This limited print release does not permit publication through chain labs (such as Shutterfly, Walgreens, Walmart, Target, Snapfish, etc.), selling, screenshots, or altering the images in any way.

The print release allows downloading, saving to a hard drive, posting on personal websites/blogs/social media with photographer acknowledgment, and printing from authorized printers for photos approved by SDS Creative Co. By booking with SDS Creative Co, I commit to honoring the above terms
