Terms of Service

Our Services

SnapMyTrip acts as an agent between you and independent Photographers at destinations around the world. That agency is a limited agency, limited to the terms of this Agreement. We do not have an employment relationship or contract with the Photographers. All Photographers are independent contractors and the contract is formed between you and the Photographer.

You are invited to browse online Photographer(s) portfolio images, offered packages and location information on our website before making an online booking using our online booking form. On registering with the website, You will be allowed to communicate with the photographer to discuss photographer availabilities using our integrated messaging system on the website. On submitting the form you will be directed to Paypal  or Stripe to complete payment for the selected photo shoot package. SnapMyTrip has no contract with you until payment is confirmed as cleared and undisputed in our account.

Following the receipt of your payment, you will liaise with the independent Photographers for the selected package at your selected destination and coordinate between you and Photographer based on your selected date and time while making the online booking.

SnapMyTrip will not be liable for any reliance or expectation by you on the services of any particular Photographer featured on the SnapMyTrip website.

On acceptance of your booking by the photographer, we will provide you with a confirmation of booking and relevant details within two (2) days of your booking. This confirmation will provide you with information including the confirmed date and time of your photo shoot, the contact details of your assigned Photographer, and a suggested meeting place.

During your photo shoot, you have the option to extend the length of the package. On communicating this preference to your Photographer, you will be required to pay for the extra time required before receiving your photos. The payment need to be made for the additional sum on the SnapMyTrip website within 24 hours of the photo shoot.

Following the photo shoot with the Photographer, the Photographer will select a number of unique images, with their amount to be determined by the photographic package chosen at the time of booking, or in the case of time extensions, by the final package chosen and paid for.

The Photographer may professionally retouch the selected photos according to his or her professional judgement and skill, and will upload them to an independent server nominated by SnapMyTrip.

On receiving notice from the Photographer that the completed photos have been uploaded to the server, SnapMyTrip will forward you with a private (but not password-protected) link that you may use to access and share your photos. This link will enable you to download the full digital versions of your selected photos.The link provided by SnapMyTrip can be shared with others, including but not limited to on social media networks. If you choose to share the link with others publicly, privately or on social media networks, other people may see or download your photos. SnapMyTrip is not responsible in any way for the protection of the links to your photos. SnapMyTrip accepts no liability for the consequences of any breaches of privacy that may occur in respect of others accessing your private link.
