In the unlikely event of a technical failure on the part of the Service Provider (including but not limited to equipment malfunction, memory card failure, or data loss) that results in the loss of session images, the Service Provider’s liability is limited to offering a complimentary reshoot session of equivalent scope. No monetary refund will be issued in such circumstances. The Service Provider will make reasonable efforts to notify the Client promptly and to schedule the reshoot at a mutually convenient time.
