The Christmas Village Christmas Set

The Christmas Village Christmas Set Terms & Conditions
1. The Christmas Village Christmas Sessions are pre-paid.    Each session is up to 15 minutes long.      The fee is based upon a photographic session for up to four individuals in an immediate family.   

If more than 4 people (children/parents) or extended family members wish to be involved, back-to-back sessions must be booked, to accommodate all those wishing to be photographed.    Having a back-to-back session will give you an extended time to interact with Santa, up to 1/2 hr, so everyone can have a good visit with him. 

Sessions will be hosted by Playtography and held in their home studio in  Lake Chaparral.  Located in SE Calgary. 
Sessions will be held in November.   
 1 Set:  1) Santa at his writing table, with the Christmas village. 
 I ,                       referred to in this Agreement as “Client” agrees that  Christina Parker,  referred to in this Agreement as “Photographer”, shall provide portrait photography services in the manner described in this Agreement. The Agreement incorporates the entire understanding between Client and Photographer and supersedes all prior agreements between the parties. This Agreement may NOT be altered or modified unless signed and agreed to by both parties. Client must provide Photographer with a signed copy of this Agreement and pay the non-refundable booking fee before Photographer is required to provide any services. 

The fees are based on the combination of up to 4 individuals of the same family.

The client will pay the Photographer session fee of $79, with the rest due by session day for packages.  Registrar early by Oct 23 , to receive 1 gift print in a 5x7 size, with the matching digital file to share and print from.      
  
 
The Client paying the Photographer a non-refundable booking fee of $79.00 to secure the date with the Photographer prior to or at the time of signing this Agreement. Unless otherwise noted in this Agreement, this booking fee is non-refundable in the event of cancellation for any reason or rescheduling by the Client.  
The non-refundable booking fee must be paid within 48 hours of booking your session.  If it is not paid, your session will be canceled and the date/time will be opened back up to the public. 

Your appointment might be asked to be moved if there is a wide gap between sessions.  As Santa is a busy fellow this time of the year and has to make sure the elves stay on track.   More times may be added when our current times are filled.
To hold your spot! Please etransfer $79  to Playtography@shaw.ca

All remaining fees will be due at this time via email money transfer to playtography@shaw.ca

Sessions take place at 68 Chapman Terrace SE, please park either around the island, in the driveway, or down by the mailboxes, when you first enter the street.   Walk through the black flower gate, and down to the walk out doors.  
2.  Cancellations/Rescheduling.  If the Client cancels within 24 hrs of the session, the payment is non-refundable, due to the lack of time to refill the spot as Santa does have a fee.  Your session can be gifted to someone else you know, or it can also go towards credits to a future session with Playtography.  We can arrange a different alternative such as a personal zoom visit with Santa, instead.  
If  Playtography cancels, I will refund you the total cost of your session.   As much as we do want to honor your time slot; it may be subjective to be moved to keep our sessions, efficiently flowing. 
3.   Client understands that the Santa Experience is up to 15 minute story telling session.   The photography schedule and selected methodology are designed to accomplish the goals and wishes of the client in a manner enjoyed by all parties.   Client, and Playtography agree that cheerful cooperation and punctuality are therefore essential to that purpose.   Shooting commences at the schedule start time.   Lateness will cause your session to be shortened, and the session can be carried further into another time slot if available, but a surcharge of $100 will be charged to help pay for Santa's/photographers time. 
4.  Packages:  Depending on what package you choose, it will take between 2-3 weeks, especially with doing a custom storybook.   The photographer will pick the best ones to be used for the storybook.    Social media digital files will be given to share online, but not to print for each package.   Image selection will take place during your session time. 
5.  Behavior:  Please note, that I may have other sets that will be up at the same time.    Please, keep an eye on all your children, so as to not be near the other set, until its' there turn.   
6.  Electronic Device: Cameras, cell phones, and video recorders are not permitted during sessions.
7.  Modifications:  If the client has a request for a small alteration of an image, such as lens glare, please let the photographer know before your image is downloaded.  Minor changes such as tighter crop, or fix minor skin blemishes, can be fixed complimentary.  More involved requests, such as lens glare, will be billed at $40/hr, and Christina Parker will discuss the cost of these changes before work will be done.   Once the requested changes are made, charges will apply. 
 8.  Social Media.  The Client may share blog post links and Facebook photos through the use of the share functions and dissemination of direct links.  Client shall not copy, download, screen shot, or capture the photographs in any other fashion.  
9.  Limitation of Liablity:  In the unlikely event of a total photographic failure because of a technical issue, cancellation of this  Agreement by either party or in any other circumstances, the liability of Photographer shall be limited to the total value of any payment by Client to Photographer and Photographer shall not be liable for any indirect or consequential damages.  

If Photographer is unable to perform any or all of the duties herein for any reason, including but not limited to, fire, transportation problems, acts of God, accident, illness, extreme weather, labour disputes, electrical failure, or technical problems (such as camera, computer, hard drive or memory card malfunction), and if Photographer cannot provide Client with the option of using another competent professional photographer, all payments received by Photographer, minus reasonable expenses, will be returned to Client, and Photographer shall have no further liability with respect to this Agreement. The limitation of liability also applies to any loss/damage of photographs or failure to deliver Photographs for any reason.
