PRIVATE UNDERWATER EXPERIENCE
Reservation Terms
SESSION FEE
The private underwater session fee is $3,000, for up to three participants. Your $1,000 reservation payment is credited toward that fee.
The session includes a creative consultation, a private underwater portrait session, and a private image-reveal appointment.
Finished artwork is commissioned and priced separately. Digital image files are not included. Travel, accommodations when required, pool rental, and additional location or production expenses are quoted separately for your approval.
BEFORE CONFIRMATION
Within three business days of receiving your reservation, I will contact you personally to begin planning.
We will agree in writing on the session date, location, pool requirements, any additional expenses, and the session agreement. Until you accept those arrangements, you may cancel for a full refund of your reservation payment.
If we cannot agree on suitable arrangements, your reservation payment will be refunded in full. A reservation does not guarantee a particular date or location.
CONFIRMATION AND BALANCE
Once you accept the arrangements and session agreement in writing, your $1,000 reservation payment becomes nonrefundable, except as described below or where applicable law requires otherwise. It reserves dedicated session time and creative preparation.
The remaining $2,000 is due 30 days before your confirmed session. For bookings confirmed within 30 days, the balance is due upon confirmation.
If payment is overdue, I will contact you before releasing the appointment. The session cannot proceed until payment is complete.
RESCHEDULING
You may request one change of date with at least 14 calendar days’ notice. Your session payments will transfer to a mutually available date within six months of the original session.
Availability in your location is not guaranteed. Any additional travel or location expenses must be approved in advance. If no replacement date can be agreed upon, the client-cancellation terms below apply.
CLIENT CANCELLATION
If you cancel a confirmed session at least 14 calendar days before its scheduled start, the $1,000 reservation payment is retained and any session balance paid is refunded.
If you cancel fewer than 14 calendar days before the session, or do not attend, the full $3,000 session fee is nonrefundable.
APPROVED TRAVEL AND LOCATION EXPENSES
If you cancel or reschedule, separately approved third-party expenses already incurred and not recoverable remain payable. Any amounts recovered from those providers will be credited or refunded to you.
WEATHER, POOL CONDITIONS, AND ARTIST CANCELLATION
Sessions will not proceed when weather, water, or pool conditions are unsafe. We will first seek a mutually suitable replacement date without a session rescheduling fee.
If I cancel, or unsafe conditions prevent the session and we cannot agree on a replacement date, payments for the unperformed session will be refunded.
Responsibility for separately approved third-party expenses in these circumstances will be agreed in writing before those expenses are incurred.
FINISHED ARTWORK
Artwork selection, dimensions, materials, pricing, payment, delivery, and any shipping or installation arrangements are covered by a separate artwork agreement. Reserving a session does not reserve a finished artwork or guarantee a completion date.
