If paying the full balance owed or additional products by cheque prints and products, they will not be made available until the cheque has cleared.
2.2 Once the photo shoot has been completed, we will not be able to offer any further refunds, due to the time spent at the photo shoot and in post-production for every customer. Because prints, canvases and other printed items are created specifically for you, we are unable to offer a refund unless the item is faulty. This does not affect your statutory rights. Refunds are available for gift certificates for up to 30 days from the date of purchase. No refunds are available after this date.
