Terms & Conditions

Overview

Terms & Conditions templates let you define your standard business terms once and attach them to multiple documents. This ensures consistency and legally protects your business.

You can create multiple T&C sets for different scenarios: Standard T&C, Rush Service T&C, Licensing T&C, Rental Agreement, etc.

Creating Terms Presets

Define standard terms and conditions that apply to your work:

Common Terms to Include

  • Payment Terms — Deposit requirements, due dates, late fees
  • Cancellation Policy — Conditions for canceling sessions or projects
  • Usage Rights — What clients can/cannot do with the images
  • Copyright Notice — You retain copyright unless otherwise specified
  • Liability Limitations — Your responsibility in case of issues
  • Model Release — If clients appear in photos, their rights
  • Rescheduling Policy — Notice required to change appointment
  • Dispute Resolution — How disputes will be handled

  1. Go to Settings → Templates → Terms & Conditions
  2. Click Create New Template

⚠️ Legal Disclaimer

These templates are for reference only and not legal advice. Consult an attorney to ensure your T&Cs comply with local laws and protect your business appropriately.

Setting Default Terms

Set a default T&C template to be automatically attached to new documents:

For Invoices & Estimates

Go to Settings → Templates and select your default invoice/estimate terms. These are automatically added to new invoices unless you override them.

You can still change or remove T&Cs for individual documents.

For Galleries

When creating a gallery, you can link it to a T&C template. Clients see the terms in the gallery footer.

Useful for clarifying usage rights and download restrictions for specific galleries.

💡 Multiple T&C Sets

Create different T&C templates for different situations:

  • "Standard Business Terms" — Default for all projects
  • "Licensing Agreement" — For galleries where clients buy licenses
  • "Rental Terms" — For equipment rental projects
  • "International Client Terms" — Specific to overseas clients
