2. Photography Services
Information about photography services, packages, pricing, availability, turnaround times, and other offerings displayed on the Website is provided for general informational purposes and may change from time to time.
Submitting an inquiry, requesting information, or using an online booking form does not necessarily create a binding agreement for photography services.
A photography service is considered booked only when Charles Cotugno Photography has confirmed the booking and any required payment, retainer, or other requirements have been satisfied.
Specific photography services may be subject to additional terms, policies, estimates, invoices, or agreements provided to the client at the time of booking. If those terms conflict with these Website Terms of Service, the specific written agreement governing the photography service will control.

Photography sessions require the photographer to reserve specific dates and times exclusively for clients. Cancellation and rescheduling policies therefore apply to booked sessions.
The cancellation, rescheduling, refund, and retainer policies applicable to a particular session will be communicated to the client as part of the booking process or client agreement.
In the event of a conflict between this Website and the terms provided for a specific photography booking, the specific booking terms will control.
