Acceptance and Conditions

This Agreement is made and entered into as of today’s date by and between:
You and OCon Photography, hereinafter you are referred to as the “CLIENT” and OCon Photography hereinafter referred to as the “CONTRACTOR.”
Any alteration whatsoever will be borne by the CLIENT. The CONTRACTOR is fully bound to provide the services as per the agreement reached with the CLIENT. 
The Service and all materials therein or transferred thereby, including, without limitation, software, images, text, graphics, logos, patents, trademarks, service marks, copyrights, photographs, audio, videos, music and all Intellectual Property Rights related thereto, are the exclusive property of OCon Photography. Except as explicitly provided herein, nothing in these Terms shall be deemed to create a license in or under any such Intellectual Property Rights, and you agree not to sell, license, rent, modify, distribute, copy, reproduce, transmit, publicly display, publicly perform, publish, adapt, edit or create derivative works thereof.
Definition: “Image(s)” means all visual representations furnished to Client by Contractor, whether captured, delivered, or stored in photographic, magnetic, optical, electronic, or any other media. Unless otherwise specified on the front of this document, Contractor may deliver, and Client agrees to accept, Images encoded in an industry-standard data format that Contractor may select, at a resolution that Contractor determines will be suitable to the subject matter of each image and the reproduction technology and uses for which the Image is licensed. It is the Client’s responsibility to verify that the digital data (including color profile, if provided) are suitable for reproduction of the expected quality and color accuracy and that all necessary steps are taken to ensure correct reproduction. If the data are not deemed suitable, the contractor's sole obligation will be to replace or repair the data, but in no event will the contractor be liable for poor reproduction quality, delays, or consequential damages. Unless otherwise specifically provided elsewhere in this document, the Contractor has no obligation to retain or archive any of the Images after they have been delivered to Client. The client or an authorized representative is responsible to review the images remotely after the event. If no review is made after the event, the Client is obligated to accept the Contractor’s judgment as to the acceptability of the Images.
Rights: All Images and rights relating to them, including copyright and ownership rights in the media in which the Images are stored, remain the sole and exclusive property of the Contractor. Unless otherwise specifically provided elsewhere in this document, any grant of rights is limited to a term of one (1) year from the date hereof and to usage in print (conventional non-electronic and non-digital) media in North America. Unless otherwise specifically provided elsewhere in this document, no image licensed for use on a cover of a publication may be used for promotional or advertising purposes without the express permission of the Contractor and the payment of additional fees. No rights are transferred to the Client unless and until the Contractor has received payment in full. The parties agree that any usage of any Image without the prior permission of the Contractor will be invoiced at three times the Contractor’s customary fee for such usage. 
Terms of Usage: We may, without prior notice, change the Services; stop providing the services or any features of the services we offer; or create limits for the services.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, with respect to automatically-renewed subscriptions to paid services, such subscriptions will be discontinued only upon the expiration of the respective period for which you have already made payment

Assignment Cancellations and Postponements: Cancellations: The Client is responsible for payment of all expenses incurred up to the time of cancellation of the assignment, plus 50 percent of Photographer’s fee; however, if notice of cancellation is given less than two (2) business days before the shoot date, Client will be charged 100 percent fee. Postponements: Unless otherwise agreed in writing, Client will be charged a 100 percent fee if postponement of the assignment occurs after the Contractor has departed for location, and 50 percent fee if postponement occurs before departure to location. Fees for cancellations and postponements will apply irrespective of the reasons for them, specifically including but not limited to weather conditions, acts of God, nature, war, terrorism, civil disturbance, and the fault of a third party.

By participating in the OCon Photography Rewards Points Program, you agree to the following terms and conditions:

• Point Accumulation: For every $1 spent on eligible services, clients will receive 1 reward point. Points are earned on the base value of purchases, excluding taxes, fees, or discounts.

• Redemption: Points can be redeemed as monetary value or for percentage discounts:

  • 1,000 points = $1 monetary value or service credit.

  • Points may also be redeemed for percentage discounts on future services (e.g., 10,000 points = 10% off), with a maximum discount of 40% per transaction.

• Individual Clients: Reward points may be applied to future sessions, prints, or other eligible services. Special promotions may apply where double points are earned for specific services or during promotional periods.

• Corporate Clients: Corporate clients are eligible for volume-based incentives rather than points. Discounts or added-value services will be based on annual spending, multi-event contracts, or specific agreements as outlined in individual contracts.

• Non-Transferability & No Cash Value: Reward points are non-transferable and hold no cash value. Points cannot be redeemed for cash or monetary compensation, nor can they be exchanged or transferred to another individual or entity. Points may only be applied towards their intended purposes within the scope of eligible services offered by OCon Photography. Points are not redeemable for any refunds or cash payouts in compliance with California Civil Code §1749.5 and related statutes.

• Expiration: Points are valid for 24 months from the date they are earned. Any unused points will automatically expire at the end of this period. Points cannot be applied retroactively to prior purchases.

• Program Modifications: OCon Photography reserves the right to modify, suspend, or terminate the Rewards Points Program at any time without prior notice. Any changes to the program will be communicated on our website and will take immediate effect, unless otherwise stated.
