Legals for your wedding photography or videography business.

Tailored Terms & Conditions (T&Cs) are essential for wedding photographers and videographers because every business has unique practices, packages, and client expectations.

A well-drafted T&Cs document protects your business from disputes, ensures clear communication with clients, and minimises the risk of legal issues. For example, it can address specific scenarios like cancellations, rescheduling, bad weather, or equipment failure. Without precise terms in place, you may face challenges enforcing payment terms or managing client expectations for deliverables.

Key clauses often include payment terms, cancellation and refund policies, intellectual property rights, liability limitations, and rescheduling conditions. It’s also important to define the scope of services, including the hours of coverage, number of edited photos or videos provided, and whether you retain creative control over editing styles. Including a force majeure clause is critical for unexpected events like natural disasters or pandemics. These clauses not only protect your business but also provide clarity to your clients, ensuring a smoother working relationship.

T&Cs act as a safeguard for your business by clearly outlining the rights and responsibilities of both parties. For instance, you can include a non-refundable deposit clause to cover your preparation costs in case of cancellations. Additionally, dispute resolution clauses can help you avoid costly legal battles by specifying mediation or arbitration as a first step. By setting out expectations upfront, you reduce the likelihood of misunderstandings, helping both you and your clients feel more secure.

Yes, Sprintlaw can incorporate clauses specifically addressing music use in your T&Cs. For instance, if you use licensed music in highlight reels or promotional videos, it’s essential to clarify whether clients can request specific tracks and who bears responsibility for obtaining the necessary music licenses. Similarly, your T&Cs can outline that the client assumes responsibility for any copyright infringement if they provide unlicensed music for their wedding video. Including these clauses protects you from legal risks while setting clear expectations about music-related matters.
