Terms & Conditions

Seeker News & Photo photograph, write and distribute news stories.

Payment for these services will be due at time of booking by BACS, Credit/Debit Cards or Cheques (must clear before work is released) or with retainers will be made for the following month no later than the 30th day of each month that the agreement is in force.

Credit accounts may be available at our discretion to regular clients. Strictly 14 days. If payment is not received within 14 days of Invoice a late payment charge of £12 will be levied. Interest and compensation for recovery costs will be charged on all overdue debts at the rate for the time being applicable under the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998, whichever is the higher.

Retainer contracts run for 12 months, these are a special offer and must be paid monthly via BACS, Credit Card or cheque. If at any point during the year the retainer is terminated we will expect the balance to be paid in full or we will invoice completed work at our standard rate minus any payments already received – whichever is the smallest amount.

Retainer agreements may be terminated on 30 days’ written notice by either Seeker News & Photo or the client. In case of termination, Seeker News & Photo shall make a reasonable attempt to finish work in progress.

Services in addition to that specifies in a retainer agreement will be made available by Seeker News & Photo at a special rate and will be billed separately. Any expenses exclusive of normal overhead are not included in this agreement and will be invoiced separately. Examples of such expenses are: travel beyond 25 miles from Poole, and meals when traveling. All invoices will be net 14.

By the nature of PR it is impossible to guarantee that press releases will be published, although Seeker News & Photo will do their best to optimise the possibility of publication by submitting the stories to the relevant media outlets. Stories will also be posted in a variety of locations online in order to maximise their exposure.

In the event of inclement weather we will always rearrange photoshoots for a different date, if this is not possible the £50 +VAT Admin fee will be payable.
