All services and materials, which Van Rossen PhotoGraphics may be contracted to provide, will be subject to the provisions in this agreement. Specific terms, conditions and specification for projects will be described in one of our four pricing agreement. We will not begin to work on a project until a pricing agreement is accepted and you authorize us to begin.

 Method of Pricing

In General: Price for our services are based on a fee for the services rendered plus all expenses involved in completing the project. Fees for a service are usually figured on an hourly bases (at ¼ hour increments), but also may reflect usage of the final material, rights granted and client considerations.

Expenses: Expenses may include material expenses, outside source expenses for   services and products, set price list expenses, and out-of-pocket expenses.

Taxes: The client shall be responsible for paying any taxes, including sales and use, levied from the date of this agreement and specifically related to their project. These taxes, if any, will be stated on our invoice. The state of Oregon has no sales tax.

Before a Project Begins

Project Price: Van Rossen PhotoGraphics will use one of four pricing methods to reach an understanding with a client regarding the cost of the project. This   understanding must be agreed upon before a project begins.

None of the four pricing methods including out-of-pocket expenses (shipping, postage, long distance telephone calls, messenger services, travel, etc.) or any taxes specifically related to the project. Out-of-pocket expenses and taxes will be billed at cost.

Price List: Certain services of a limited and frequent nature have been pre-priced and are stated on our price list. The costs for these defined services are the stated price but do not include out-of-pocket expenses (i.e.,   shipping).

Firm Estimate/Confirmation: When the scope and details of a project are well-defined, a written estimate based on stated original project specifications will be provided. Van Rossen PhotoGraphics will bill at the estimated amount or less, unless there are circumstances warranting additional costs consistent with this agreement or any other.

Rough Estimate/Confirmation: When the scope of the project is not fully defined, Van Rossen PhotoGraphics will provide a rough estimate. This rough estimate will be based on what is known about the original project specifications and our best guess of the cost. It will also include a stated contingency percentage that will be allowed. Only when costs exceed the allowed contingency percentage will further client approval be required.

Experimental Work: Projects of this nature delve into either unexplored areas or have no clearly defined project specifications. In this case, the client agrees to pay all hourly fees and expenses that occur on the project, regardless of the outcome. There will also be an agreed upon cap on cost and which Van Rossen PhotoGraphics will stop work until further client approval to proceed is given and additional deposit is paid.

Price validity: The prices stated on firm estimates, rough estimates and price list services are valid for 30 days after being submitted.

 Price Modifiers

Overtime/Rush: All cost on price list, firm estimates, rough estimates and experimental work assumes 8-hour working days and normal turn around time for outside services and expenses. If you request a project to be completed in less then normal time, which requires overtime and rush services, these expenses will be billed in addition to the original stated price.

Changes and Revisions: Any changes, requested by the client in the project specifications after the project begins or after a segment of a project has been completed and approved, causing additional fees or expenses, will be billed in addition to the original stated price. This action will be stated or confirmed in writing and signed by Van Rossen PhotoGraphics and the client.

Should the scope and nature of the project change to an extent that the original agreed upon job specification no longer apply, a new estimate or rough estimate will be submitted and agreed to before any further work will proceed.

The client shall offer Van Rossen PhotoGraphics the first opportunity to make any changes or revisions to a project.
