Refund Policy
A legal disclaimer
Last updated: September 17, 2025
At Cristina Barr Photography, we strive to provide high-quality photography services. Please read our Refund Policy carefully before booking. By securing a booking with us, you agree to the following terms:
1. Deposits / Retainers
-
All deposits/retainers paid at the time of booking are non-refundable.
-
Deposits secure your session date and time, and prevent us from accepting other bookings during that period.
2. Cancellations by Client
-
Cancellations made by the client after booking are not eligible for a refund of the deposit.
-
If the client cancels after full payment, only the amount beyond the deposit may be refundable, depending on how close to the session date the cancellation occurs:
-
More than 7 days before session: 50% of the remaining balance (excluding deposit) may be refunded.
-
Less than 7 days before session: No refunds will be issued.
-
3. Rescheduling
-
Clients may reschedule once (subject to availability) without penalty if notice is given at least 7 days before the scheduled session.
-
Rescheduling within 7 days of the session may require a rescheduling fee.
4. Cancellations by Photographer
-
In the unlikely event that we must cancel your booking due to illness, emergency, or unforeseen circumstances, you will receive a full refund of all payments made, including your deposit.
-
Alternatively, you may choose to reschedule to the next available date.
5. No-Shows
-
If the client fails to attend the scheduled session without notice, no refund will be provided.
-
Please arrive on time. Arrivals more than 10 minutes late may result in reduced shooting time.
-
If you are more than 15 minutes late without communication, the session may be considered canceled and no refund will be provided.
6. Product Refunds
-
Due to the custom nature of photography products (prints, albums, digital files), all delivered products are non-refundable.
-
If a product is defective or damaged, please notify us within 7 days of delivery for replacement.
7. Digital Files
-
Once digital images have been delivered, no refunds will be issued.
8. Force Majeure
-
We are not liable for cancellations caused by events outside of our control (such as extreme weather, natural disasters, or government restrictions). In such cases, deposits remain non-refundable, but we will work with you to reschedule your session.
