2.2.4 Cancellation and Rescheduling Policy. We only want our clients to be happy with us and fee policies like this don’t really do that – but we do have to pay our photographers when we reserve their time. When you schedule services with us, you are reserving a valuable time slot that will not be available to others. When you cancel, or reschedule your photo shoot, we must pay our photographers for that reserve time if it falls within the cancelation window outlined below. While everyone understands the purpose of cancellation fees, and agrees to the terms of service, nobody likes paying them. So, we do our very best to keep you apprised about your upcoming appointment with courtesy email 48 hours before your appointment. - please use that reminder window to check in with your client. As soon as you become aware that the property is not ready as scheduled, either call PropTech Consultings office at 973-699-0692 or email us at info@proptechlab.io so we can notify our photographer and remove it from the schedule and/or set up a new appointment time. If another Agent in your Realty can fill the spot, there will be no rescheduling/cancellation fees.
Tuesday through Saturday Appointments – If you cancel or reschedule the appointment less than 24 hours before the photo shoot or scan, then you agree to pay a reschedule fee of $75 for photography and/or Matterport Scanning appointments. If we can replace the photo shoot, then the fee is waived.
Monday Appointments – If you cancel or reschedule your Monday appointment after 2 pm on the Saturday prior, then you agree to pay a reschedule fee of $75 for the photography and /or Matterport scanning appointment. If we can replace the photo shoot, then the fee is waived.
Unable to Shoot/Scan Fee - If the photographer arrives at the property and cannot access it or it is not ready to photograph and or scan, then you agree to pay a $75 fee plus any applicable travel charges
2.2.5 Weather. We are prepared to shoot in most any weather. Often, sellers spend a good amount of time getting their house ready, so at the very least we can do the interiors. If it is not raining hard, we can often get front and rear shots as well. If
you require us to go back for exteriors we may charge a trip fee. If, in the opinion of the photographer, the shoot/scan cannot be completed due to inclement weather or other adverse conditions, then the photographer reserves the right to reschedule the shoot at the earliest convenience. The client has the option to accept the reschedule date or to receive a refund of any fees, or payments that have been accepted within thirty (30) days. Drone Photography will be affected by weather also. In unsafe conditions for the equipment, the photographer may choose to reschedule the shoot. If it is an event then PropTech Consulting will attempt to complete the job, but if unable to, will refund any fees, or payments that have been accepted within thirty (30) days.
