Whether a refund can be issued for wedding photos that have been paid a deposit but not yet taken depends on the contract. If the contract contains words such as "refundable within 7 days of placing the order" or "refundable before shooting", then the deposit can generally be refunded. However, if there is no mention of a refundable deposit in the contract, the deposit in the form of a "penalty" is generally not refunded.
What should I pay attention to before placing an order for wedding photos
1. Sign the contract
The details about taking wedding photos need to be reflected in the contract, so that if there is any infringement of rights in the subsequent process, the contract is the best proof.
2. Request invoice
After paying the fee, be sure to request the other party to issue an invoice or receipt to keep a guarantee for yourself.
3. The deposit cannot exceed 20% of the full payment
This is stipulated in the Contract Law, so it is important to pay attention before paying the deposit. If the price is too high, it is necessary to negotiate with the merchant, as the deposit is easy to pay but difficult to recover.
