IF YOU ARE DISSATISFIED WITH THE WEBSITE OR ANY CONTENT ON THE SITE, OR WITH THESE TERMS, YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY IS TO DISCONTINUE USING THE WEBSITE.
This Website is owned and operated by or on behalf of Coverd LLC, A New York limited liability company (“Coverd,” “we” or “us”). Coverd is aprovider of photographic products and services
We reserve the right to update or modify these Terms at any time without prior notice. Your use of the Website following any such change constitutes your agreement to follow and be bound by the Terms as changed. For this reason, we encourage you to review these Terms whenever you use this Website.
Coverd will provide a professional photographer at an event or venue that you specify (the “Services”). You will complete the booking form on the website, with the type of event, address and requested hours. Within 24 hours, of your submission for a booking, a representative of Coverd will confirm via email Coverd’s availability and any additional surcharges. At that time, your credit card will be charged with a deposit of 50% of the estimated fees.
The deposit is refundable if you cancel the booking more than 48 hours before the event. Cancellations within 48 hours of the event will result in the forfeiture of the deposit. The deposit will be considered as liquidated damages to Coverd in case of cancellation within 48 hours of a booked event for any reason, including natural or manmade disasters or obstructions, inclement weather, personal injury, personal illness, change of heart, conflicting plans, etc. Coverd photographers will work only the hours requested on the booking form. If event start times are delayed or take longer than the period of time confirmed on the booking form, the photographer will attempt to obtain in-person, verbal consent to extend the engagement in a minimum of thirty (30) minute increments at an hourly rate of $100. If you are not available to give in-person verbal authorization, the photographer will attempt to notify you by text, phone or email, based on your preferred method of communication as you specified when booking the event, if/when he or she is at the end of the period of time confirmed on the booking form, and you may agree to engage the photographer for additional time in a minimum of thirty (30) minute increments at an hourly rate of $100. If you do not respond to the photographer within 5 minutes of the sent time of notification that the time is about to expire, the photographer will leave the venue.
The balance, including additional fees or surcharges, will be due before images are uploaded to your account.
You are responsible for confirming photographers are allowed at the venue(s) you selected on the booking form. The Company is not responsible for Services that cannot be provided because the Venue refuses to admit the Photographer or imposes other restrictions (such as no flash photography or a particular place to stand) that limit the Services. You agree to accept the technical limitations that may be imposed on the equipment used. If the Services cannot be provided, the Booking Fee shall be forfeited by You as liquidated damages. The Company advises You to make yourself aware of the rules of the venue concerned and if necessary negotiate with the personnel concerned.
The copyright of photographs remains with Coverd. The Company and the individual Photographers agree to use the images only to advertise the business of Coverd or the skills of the individual Photographer (in his or her portfolio), including on Coverd or the Photographer’s web site, social media accounts and other promotional materials. The images will not otherwise be reproduced or used in a commercial setting. The Company will provide to You high-resolution, .jpg files of the curated images taken at the event and will provide the ability to order other items via third parties via the Coverd Web Site. At no time will the camera’s RAW image files be released from either the individual photographer or from Coverd. Coverd grants You permission to make copies of the images under the following conditions: The images taken by the Photographer as an agent of Coverd are for personal use by You and your friends and relatives. Sale, publication or any commercial use of the photographs is not allowed without prior written permission from Coverd.
Release: You grant Coverd and its legal representatives, heirs and assigns, the irrevocable and unlimited consent to use the photographs of You and/or your children for editorial, competition, advertising and any other purpose and in any manner, to alter the photographs without restriction; and to copyright the images. You hereby release Coverd and its legal representatives, heirs and assigns from all liability and claims in connection with the images.
Warranty. The Photographer provided by Coverd will perform the Services in a timely fashion consistent with the standard of care and skill ordinarily exercised by members of the same profession currently practicing under similar circumstances. THE WARRANTIES CONTAINED HEREIN ARE THE ONLY WARRANTIES MADE BY THE PARTIES HEREUNDER. EACH PARTY MAKES NO OTHER WARRANTY, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AND EXPRESSLY EXCLUDES AND DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES AND REPRESENTATIONS OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
Limitation of Liability: If an assigned photographer becomes ill or injured and cannot supply the Services specified above Coverd will use reasonable commercial efforts to book a replacement event Photographer. If a replacement Photographer cannot be found then liability is limited to a refund of any payments received. The Photographers have working methods in place to prevent loss or damage to your images. However, there is the unlikely possibility that images may be lost, stolen or destroyed for reasons in or beyond our control. In these circumstances liability is limited to the return of fees paid for the Service or part thereof according to the percentage of images supplied. NEITHER PARTY WILL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER IN ANY EVENT FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, (i) ANY DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF BUSINESS PROFITS, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR LOSS OF BUSINESS INFORMATION, OR (ii) COMPANY'S OR COMPANY'S CUSTOMERS' RELIANCE ON OR USE OF INFORMATION OR SERVICES PROVIDED, EVEN IF THE OFFENDING PARTY HAS BEEN PREVIOUSLY ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. BECAUSE SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY.
Indemnity. Clients, jointly and severally, will indemnify, defend and hold harmless, Coverd and Photographer, for any and all damages, losses, claims and costs (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs, but excluding any damages, losses, claims or costs that arise in whole or in part from the acts or omissions of Coverd or the Photographer) relating to (a) the negligence or willful act or omission of Clients or their guests or invitees; or (b) Clients’ material breach of this Agreement.
