Restrictions on our liability to you (Please note this section is important and should be carefully read by you since it limits your rights. Please ask us if you need any further clarification)
3.1 We will make every reasonable effort to secure a replacement cameraman if for any reason the cameraman is unable to carry out the engagement. In those circumstances however, our liability to you is limited to making a refund of the sums that you have paid us in respect of the booking. We will be entitled to deduct any out of pocket expenses that we have reasonably incurred or paid to a third party.
3.2 Although we make every effort to ensure that all the equipment we use for your Event is in sound working order, if a problem with the equipment should arise our liability to you is limited to making a refund of the sums that you have paid us in respect of the booking. We will be entitled to deduct any out of pocket expenses that we have reasonably incurred or paid to a third party. In the event of a part of the Event being recorded we will in that case return a fair proportion of the price.
3.3 Although we will make every reasonable effort to record significant parts of the Event (including any part of the ceremony) the decision as to what is comprised in the recording is in our absolute discretion. We can give no assurance that we will successfully record any particular aspect of the Event (even though you may have asked us to do so), and any failure by us to capture any particular aspect of the Event does not give you any right to refuse to pay the Price or obtain a refund.
3.4 When you enter into this booking you accept that we cannot accept any liability whether it is a financial or any other kind of loss, which arises either as a direct result or as an indirect result or as a consequence of any failure by us of our obligations to you in this booking except for our obligation to return all or part of any sums that you have paid to us in accordance with these conditions.
3.5 We do not accept any liability to you or any guest for any death or personal injury or damage to property that may have been caused by our negligence or that of any of our employees.

3.7 Although these exclusions or limitations may appear to be comprehensive, you agree that it is fair and reasonable for us to have no liability. This is because if we were to accept any liability we would need to insure against that liability or loss which will then increase our prices. You accept that you understand this and agree that it is reasonable to us to have no liability in this way.
