Where it fits
For a photographer booking a shoot with a client. Use the photo and video release for permission from people in the photos, and the event services contract for other event vendors.
Before you rely on it
Original Centilio wording, not legal advice. Consumer law may limit how much of a retainer can be kept and what liability can be excluded. Check the cancellation terms and the usage wording with a local lawyer before you approve it.
