Commercial Usage - Images purchased with "personal usage only" should not be used to promote any goods/services or be posted to any business website or social media without prior consent or the appropriate licence being purchased directly from the album.

Photographs – All photograph sizes are nominal. The Photographer will provide a pleasing colour balance but cannot guarantee exact colour matching.

All photographs supplied by contracted companies on behalf of Ellie Osborne Photography are produced to the highest standards using the best quality materials and latest processing techniques. However, all photographs will, in time, fade. This is particularly true if they are left in bright sunlight and are not behind glass. Ellie Osborne Photography cannot accept any responsibility for this gradual image deterioration.

All pictures purchased online are presumed to have been received in good condition unless the Client notifies Ellie Osborne Photography in writing of any discrepancy or error within 14 days of receipt. Those bought onsite at events must be thoroughly checked for errors before leaving with them as mistakes will not be rectified afterwards.

Once an order has been placed, We will not offer a refund. All orders must be thoroughly checked before purchasing for cropping and clarity purposes, as errors cannot be corrected afterwards.
