Journey Visual Arts
Terms of Service
1. Overview / Agreement
By booking photography services with Journey Visual Arts ("we," "us," or "Photographer"), you (“Client”) agree to the following Terms of Service. These terms set expectations, responsibilities, and the framework for our work together. Please read carefully before booking.
2. Appointment & Property Readiness
The property must be fully prepared by the scheduled appointment time: lights on, clutter removed, all areas accessible, and windows/shades open as desired.
The Client is responsible for arranging access (coordinating with tenants, contractors, sellers, etc.).
We will not move furniture, stage rooms, or perform cleaning or repairs.
If the property is not ready upon arrival, a same-day rescheduling fee of $50 applies.
We strive to adhere to scheduled times, but may adjust slightly due to travel logistics or other constraints.
3. Business Hours & Off-Hour Shoots
Our standard business hours are posted on our site.
Shoots requested outside these hours may be accepted if scheduling allows—but could incur an additional fee (to be quoted at booking).
4. Cancellations & Weather Policy
You may cancel or reschedule your appointment up to one day before the shoot without penalty.
Same-day cancellations or reschedules will incur a $75 fee.
Weather-related rescheduling is allowed without charge, provided the request is made at least 24 hours in advance.
If adverse weather arises during the session, we reserve the right to pause or reschedule remaining services without additional cost.
5. Turnaround Time & Rush Services
Standard photo delivery: delivered by the end of the next business day.
If you request same-day photo rush, it may be available (depending on scheduling) for $80.
For video or other media, standard delivery and rush fees will be quoted in your booking.
6. Photo / Media Editing & Revisions
Minor lighting is used during photography along with natural light, and therefor color variation may occur due to lighting conditions and will not be photoshopped unless requested for an additional fee.
Major retouching, compositing, or special edits must be requested at booking.
Additional edits or revisions after delivery incur a $50 minimum re-edit fee; complex modifications may cost more.
7. Travel & Property Size Fees
Our base service includes travel within a 15-mile radius of Lincoln Nebraska.
For jobs beyond that radius, mileage or travel fees will be quoted at booking.
Larger homes (by square footage or complexity) may incur additional surcharges; such fees will be disclosed during booking.
8. Media Rights & Licensing
We retain full copyright to all photos and media.
Upon full payment, we grant the Client a limited, non-exclusive license to use the media for marketing, listings, and promotion of that specific property/contract.
The media may not be resold, sublicensed, transferred, or used by third parties (builders, stagers, designers, etc.) without our written permission.
Use of media for new listings, rebranding, or use outside the originally agreed projects may require additional licensing and fees.
9. Portfolio Use & Promotion
We reserve the right to use any media created for our own promotional purposes (portfolio, website, social media, marketing).
The Client may also post media on their platforms (e.g. listing websites, social media) during the active marketing period of the property.
10. Property Owner & Permission
The Client must hold the necessary permissions from the property owner to allow photography.
If neighboring properties or visibility is a concern, additional consent may be required, and we may request written assurances or waivers.
11. Payment Terms & Late Fees
Full payment is due upon your receipt of the final media delivery.
Deliverables will remain locked or withheld until payment is received.
Late payments may be subject to a fee of $20 per week..
We reserve the right to withhold future services or notify third parties (e.g. brokerages) of outstanding invoices.
12. Liability, Indemnity & Client Responsibilities
We are not liable for damage, theft, or loss arising from property condition, access issues, or environmental hazards.
The Client agrees to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims, losses, liabilities, or expenses arising from services provided (except for willful misconduct or gross negligence on our part).
The Client is responsible for disclosing hazards (e.g. pets, pets’ behavior, unsafe stairs, broken fixtures) to us prior to the shoot.
13. Force Majeure / Unforeseen Events
We are not responsible for delays or failure to deliver services due to circumstances beyond our control (including but not limited to natural disasters, illness, equipment failure, government restrictions, or severe weather).
14. Governing Law & Severability
This agreement will be governed by and construed under the laws of Nebraska.
If any part of these terms is found invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full effect.
15. Updates to These Terms
