8. Colour photography is undertaken within the technical limitations of the process and certain colours may not necessarily be facsimile over the whole range of colours within a subject. Prints made at different times may be variable in colour balance. Please note that some fabrics such as two-tone taffeta/satin react differently in some lighting conditions and can cause the colour of fabrics and other materials to change, giving incorrect colour beyond the photographer’s control – please discuss with the photographer if you are in any doubt, as Christa Chadwick Photography cannot be held responsible for the natural colour deviation which may occur. All image sizes are nominal. The photographer/s will provide a pleasing colour balance but cannot guarantee exact colour matching owing to anomalous reflectance caused by a combination of certain dyes and materials especially man-made fibres. It is sometimes impossible to record on film or digital sensor the exact colour as seen by the human eye.

9. The Client is aware that colour dyes and inks used in photography may fade or discolour over time due to the inherent qualities of dyes and inks, and the Client releases Christa Chadwick Photography from any liability for any claims whatsoever based upon fading or discolouration due to such inherent qualities. Christa Chadwick Photography however promises to use all reasonable endeavours to minimise the possibilities of fading or discolouration over time, including the use of proven, reliable techniques and high quality photographic materials.

10. Christa Chadwick Photography shall exercise all reasonable skill, care and diligence in the discharge of their duties. It is understood, however, that in the event of any unforeseen exceptional circumstances outside the control of the photographer causing loss of photographic record, Christa Chadwick Photography shall only be responsible for the return of all monies paid to date, although every effort will be made to retake the photographs.

11. On occasions and without notice it may be necessary for the photographer originally specified to be substituted by another photographer, (e.g. due to ill health).

12. Retouching, digital manipulation and artist finishing is available to the client as an optional extra and may incur extra cost, and cannot be assumed to be included as standard.
