•    Quotes are estimations of final costs and are not guaranteed to be the final invoiced amounts.     

•    Differences in costs between quotes and invoices are often likely due to the addition, subtraction or alteration of rented gear, props, additional retouching hours or unforeseen extensions of the number of shooting hours and requirements

•    Clients will always be notified in advance of adjustments of more than 20% to quoted amounts of the shoot’s total value.
