Important Notice
By booking services with Amdak Productions, LLC, you agree to the cancellation and refund terms outlined below. These terms are consistent with my Master Service Agreement. Please read this policy carefully before confirming your booking.
Nonrefundable Payments & Refund Policy
Payments Are Nonrefundable Once a Date Is Held or Work Begins
Retainers, deposits, and paid invoices are nonrefundable once a date is reserved or work begins, because that time is held for you and no longer available to others. What happens after that depends on timing: cancellations, reschedules, no-shows, and weather are handled under the rules below rather than by refund, except in the two cases below.
(a) Amdak cancels before work is delivered: if Amdak cancels a project before any work has been delivered, prepaid unearned fees are refunded.
(b) Amdak fails to deliver the contracted scope: if Amdak materially fails to deliver the contracted scope and does not cure after written notice, the client may request a refund of fees paid for the undelivered portion.
If any provision of this policy is found invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect.
Cancellation, Rescheduling & No-Shows
Nonrefundable: Retainers, deposits, and paid invoices are nonrefundable.
Late Cancel or Reschedule: Sessions cancelled or rescheduled after 5:00 PM Central the day before the scheduled start are subject to a late-cancellation fee of $75 for standard property and aerial sessions, and $150 for large properties (over 4,000 sq ft), twilight or night shoots, multi-day work, and travel jobs. Any travel already incurred is billable in addition.
No-Show, No Access, or Site Not Ready: The booked session is due in full, plus any travel already incurred. A return visit is a new booking at standard rates, subject to availability.
Weather I Call Off for Safety: Rescheduled at no late-cancellation fee. A weather reschedule is not a refund.
Client Chooses to Proceed in Poor Conditions: The delivered media will reflect the conditions at the time of the shoot, and no reshoot or credit is owed.
Rescheduling: Rescheduling is at my discretion and subject to availability. There is no guarantee that your preferred date will be available.
Site Readiness: The property or site must be photo-ready on arrival. I do not clean, stage, declutter, or move furnishings and equipment, and I am not responsible for site conditions. Unless a shot list is agreed in writing before the session, composition and the areas captured are at my discretion. Time spent waiting for access or readiness may be billed as overtime.
Conflicts: If this page conflicts with the Terms of Service on cancellation timing or fees, the Terms of Service control.
Weather Policy
Weather-Related Rescheduling
The Provider reserves the right to reschedule any shoot due to adverse weather conditions. Weather-related delays are not cancellations and do not entitle the Client to a refund.
Client election. If conditions are unfavorable but safe, the Client may either reschedule to the next available date or proceed with the session as scheduled. If the Client elects to proceed, the delivered media will reflect the conditions at the time of the shoot, and no reshoot, discount, or credit is owed.
For outdoor shoots, including drone/aerial services, the Provider will make the final determination on whether conditions are safe and suitable for the scheduled work.
Project Cost, Fees & Payment
Retainer: A retainer is required to secure your booking date. This retainer is nonrefundable and will be applied toward your final invoice.
Balance Due: The remaining balance is due as specified in your project agreement, typically upon completion of the shoot and prior to delivery of final edited media.
Late Payments: Late payments incur interest at the rate of 1.5% per month (18% annually), or the maximum rate permitted by North Dakota law, whichever is less. The Client is responsible for all legal and collection fees incurred due to non-payment or late payment.
Overtime & Rush Delivery Fees
Additional Fees
Overtime Policy: Time exceeding 8 hours on-site may be billed at $150 per hour, unless otherwise agreed upon in writing.
Rush Delivery Fees: Delivery under five (5) business days will incur a 20% rush fee unless waived in writing by the Provider.
Payment Disputes
Raise Concerns With Me First
If you have a concern about an invoice or a charge, please contact me in writing so I can review and resolve it directly. Nothing in this policy limits any right you may have under your card issuer's or bank's dispute procedures.
Unsafe or Inaccessible Conditions
I may pause or discontinue a session without refund of amounts already earned if unsafe, hazardous, or unlawful conditions arise on site, or if the location is inaccessible for reasons outside my control. Where practical, I will offer to reschedule rather than cancel.
Force Majeure
Neither party shall be liable for delays or failure to perform caused by forces beyond their control, including but not limited to: acts of God, natural disasters, injury, illness, war, terrorism, government actions, or other circumstances beyond the reasonable control of either party.
Legal Fee Recovery
The Client will reimburse the Provider for all legal, arbitration, or collection costs incurred due to the Client's breach of this Agreement or non-payment, including reasonable attorney's fees.
