Paperwork that protects a Round Rock shoot
- For commercial clients, spell out usage rights: where images may appear, for how long, and whether the license is exclusive.
- Address cancellations, rescheduling, and weather in the contract, with retainer terms that both sides understand.
- Name a second shooter or assistant in the contract if one will attend, and confirm whether they are your employee or a contractor.
- Include a limitation of liability tied to the fees paid, so a lost card or equipment failure does not become a claim for the whole cost of the event.
Insurers reviewing an application often ask whether you use written agreements. Having one in place can make a difference in how a dispute is handled.
