The deposit for wedding photos cannot be refunded. The deposit amount for wedding photos shall be determined through consultation between the parties and the merchant, and shall not exceed 20% of the total contract price. If the customer breaches the contract, they have no right to demand a refund of the deposit. If the studio breaches the contract, they shall refund double the deposit. So when signing a contract normally, the deposit cannot be refunded, but the excess 20% can be requested to be refunded by the merchant.
What if the deposit for wedding photos cannot be refunded
1. Take the receipt and discuss with the shop owner
If the contract has not been signed yet and only the receipt for the deposit is available, you can use this receipt to discuss with the store whether the deposit can be refunded.
2. Transfer to others
If the shop owner does not agree to refund the deposit, they can refer other customers and transfer the order to someone else.
3. Change package shooting
If you don't have a suitable referral partner around you, you can discuss with the store whether you can switch this package to another package, such as personal photography or family photo shooting.
