9. Additional editing & Photoshop Work: Images shown in the client gallery include basic retouching (removal of blemishes, skin smoothing). Further custom or client directed retouching is an additional $20 per image.

10. Due to gallery limits and cost of storage, where an order has not been received and paid for within 30 days of first gallery expiry date, the images will be deleted.

11. All orders must be confirmed in writing and accompanied by full payment before any order will be placed.

12. Payment plans are available with administrative fees being applied.
