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?
- Time and Resources: Booking your session blocks our time exclusively for you, preventing other clients from reserving the same slot.
- Session Preparations: The fee covers initial planning, administrative tasks, and any upfront costs associated with your session.
- Commitment Assurance: By securing the session with a booking fee, we can guarantee your time slot and prioritize your needs.
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.
