Meldon Media Terms of Service

GENERAL

  1. The Online Ordering system is now available. We will not accept orders via SMS, as these are often overlooked or forgotten by the end of the day. When placing orders, you should receive a confirmation email.
  2. All properties must be ready to shoot before the photographer arrives. We can supply you with photography checklists to help your vendors and tenants be more organised. A surcharge may apply for the excess time needed to tidy and stage the property.
  3. If the attending agent wants to move or remove furnishings, please do so before the photographer arrives. Additional fees will be added if the photographer waits for the house to be rearranged.
  4. If the agent is not attending the shoot, the home will be shot “As Is”. The Agent must supply a list of required shots. The photographer will remove minor items (tea towels, dish rack, TV remotes).
  5. If the Photographer is asked to return to the property to take extra photos, there will be a minimum callout fee of $110.00
  6. When a booking is made, the photographer may complete the job before the allotted time.
  7. Please let us know if you require custom packages made up for your agency.
  8. The Photographer may take extra images outside the package limits at the property, which may not be included in the delivered images.
