Once you have agreed on a photo or video shoot with a client, even if you have some kind of written document, such as an email or a final quote with all the conditions clearly stated, it is important that you protect your time and your work with a contract signed by both parties. This will avoid unpleasant surprises at the last minute.
Until now, you had to meet with clients to explain the conditions of the contract and leave it already signed, or you tried to send it to them by email but it was too cumbersome for them to print it out to sign it and then scan it to send it back signed. Now, thanks to the contract management for photographers integrated in the panel, if you have the booking calendar service active, you can send your clients' contracts online.
These are the options you will have available when managing your clients' contracts:
- Creation and review of your clients' photo and video session contracts.
- Quick sending of contracts through the management panel of your website.
- You will have at your disposal a series of contract templates endorsed by professional associations such as FEPFI.
- Customisation of templates or creation of contracts from scratch.
- Add your digital signature easily.
- Online signature of contracts by your clients from any device.
Protect your photography business with online contracts
Make sure there are no misunderstandings with your clients by sending them a detailed contract of the service you are going to offer them before each photo or video shoot.
Occasionally, it may happen that the client is not satisfied with the result and does not want to pay the agreed budget. In these cases it is essential to have a contract that specifies your services, rates, delivery times, payment conditions, etc.
A very effective way to protect your business on a legal level is to draw up a contract before any type of photographic or video reportage is carried out for both parties to sign. This way, both you and your clients will be sure that all the clauses agreed for the photo shoot will be fulfilled with a signed document.
Thanks to the contract service included in our Booking plan you will be able to secure your photography business and, more importantly, live with more peace of mind and work at ease. Focusing all your attention on what really matters, making unique photographs and videos.
Uses contract templates endorsed by professional associations
Save time when creating your contracts by using a series of templates that professional associations such as FEPFI have created for you.
We know that drawing up a contract from scratch is a laborious job and that you need legal advice that, on many occasions, you cannot consult. For this reason, and to make things easier for you when it comes to protecting your photography business, in the Templates section of your Contract Management, you will find templates created by professional photographers' associations such as FEPFI, which have a legal office that has supervised the content of each contract.
This way, in just a few minutes you will have the contract ready to send to your client. All you have to do is choose the contract template you are most interested in, personalise the client's details, check that all the points are the ones you want to include in the contract and send it to the client in just one click.
Your client will receive all the information through an automated email that you will be able to personalise so that they sign the contract and send it back to you. Once the contract is signed by both parties, your client will receive a second email with the signed contract in PDF format so they can download it and you will have all the information well saved and organised in your contract management panel.
Organise your customer contracts in one place
Thanks to the creation and sending of your contracts through the management panel, you will have all your clients' documentation very well organised and unified in the same space.
One of the tasks that has nothing to do with photography and video but that any professional working in this field has to do on a daily basis is to organise all the documentation generated for each photo shoot: client details, information on the type of report, agenda, contract, etc.
Now, with contract management for photographers, in addition to having your clients' data, you will also have all the information of interest for each contract well organised in your management panel.
This option, as well as allowing you to consult any type of data quickly and easily, will also give you the opportunity to keep track of which clients have already signed their contract and to whom you have to send a reminder to sign it.
Facilitate your customers' experience with online contract delivery
Send your customers their contract online with the option of signing it digitally from any type of device.
In addition to being able to create your contracts through your management panel, when you send them to your customers through a link that will be attached in an automated email, they will be able to sign it quickly and digitally.
When they receive the email, your customers will only have to click on a link that will appear attached in the text of the email, at that moment they will be redirected to a private page of your website where they will be able to review the contract and sign it online to return it to you.
If customers access the contract through a computer, they will be able to sign it with the help of the mouse and if it is through their mobile devices, they will be able to sign it directly with their finger and repeat the operation as many times as necessary until the signature is correct.
Save time and focus on what you are passionate about
Thanks to the management of contracts for photographers, you will save many hours of management with clients and the drafting of contracts will be very agile and simple.
