Terms & Conditions

By booking any service with Sophie Spencer (“Sophie”), you agree to the following terms.

General Terms (All Services)

All sales are final. No refunds unless specifically stated otherwise.

Payments are due in full at the time of booking unless otherwise arranged.

Sophie reserves the right to reschedule sessions or deliveries due to illness, personal emergencies, or severe weather.

Services are provided in good faith and to the best of Sophie’s professional ability. Sophie is not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from participation or use of recommendations provided.

HEADSHOT DAY BOOKING AGREEMENT

Between: Sophie Spencer trading as Branding by Sophie (ABN 64 697 885 572) ("the Photographer") and the client named at booking ("the Client").

1. The Service
The Photographer will provide a 2 hour photography session at Spectrum Haus on the 22nd of August between 9:10am and 11:10am. Following the session, the Client will receive a fully edited online gallery of approximately 30–50 images, from which they will select their ten (10) included images. It is the client's responsibility to get their own b-roll taken by asking another woman or bringing a tripod to set up. 

2. Payment
The session fee is $350 inc. GST, payable in full at the time of booking. Payment secures the Client's spot. Optional extras: full gallery upgrade ($250 + GST, payable at or after gallery delivery). All payments are non-refundable.

3. Cancellation & Transfers
All payments are non-refundable. The Client's spot is fully transferable to another person, provided the Photographer is notified of the replacement attendee's name and contact details at least 48 hours before the event. If the Client fails to attend their session without transferring their spot, no refund or reshoot is owed.

4. Punctuality
The event runs to a fixed schedule with back-to-back sessions. Clients should arrive at least ten (10) minutes before their allocated time. If the Client arrives late, their session will still end at its scheduled time — time lost is deducted from the session, not added to it. If the Client fails to arrive within their session window, this is treated as non-attendance under clause 3. The Photographer will always deliver the best possible gallery within whatever session time remains.

5. Cancellation by the Photographer
If the Photographer must cancel or reschedule the event due to illness, venue unavailability, or circumstances beyond reasonable control, the Client's booking will be transferred to the rescheduled date. If the Client is genuinely unable to attend the rescheduled date, a refund will be provided. This is the only circumstance in which a refund applies.

6. Editing & Image Style
Images are professionally edited for colour, exposure, tone and composition. The Photographer does not alter the Client's face, body, or skin (including smoothing, slimming or reshaping). Editing style is at the Photographer's discretion, consistent with their published portfolio. Requests to alter the Client's appearance fall outside this agreement.

7. Image Selection & Delivery
The full edited gallery (approximately 30–50 images) will be delivered within seven (7) days of the session. The Client selects their ten (10) included images from this gallery; the remaining images are available via the full gallery upgrade ($250 + GST). Raw/unedited files are not provided. Galleries remain available for thirty (30) days; the Client is responsible for downloading their images within that period.

8. Copyright & Usage
The Photographer retains copyright in all images. The Client is granted a non-exclusive, perpetual licence to use their purchased images for personal and business marketing purposes (website, social media, publications, press). Images may not be sold or sublicensed to third parties. The Client agrees not to apply filters or edits that materially alter the images without permission.

9. Portfolio Use
The Photographer may use images from the session for portfolio, website, social media and marketing purposes. If a specific image presents a significant issue for the Client, the Client may raise it with the Photographer, who will consider the request in good faith.
