Deposits, Payments, Cancellations & Postponements 

  1. To secure any event, we require a 20% non-returnable deposit. This must be paid via an electronic source (Paypal/Card.) 
  2. Payment of the deposit confirms the acceptance of these terms and conditions. 
  3. The remaining balance is due 30 days before the event. 
  4. If there is still an outstanding amount on a booking 14 days or less before the event, then the booking will be cancelled with no funds being returned.
  5. Advertised charges relate to events within mileage limits of Portsmouth & on a standard day. If the event is outside of these limits or to be held on a bank holiday or special day (e.g. New Year’s Eve) a surcharge will be added to the quote. All surcharges are calculated on a case-by-case basis.
  6. Products will only be provided as per the invoice. If you wish for additional products to be included in your package, they need to be agreed beforehand, or purchased separately.
  7. If the event is cancelled, the booking no longer required, or we are unable to operate we will require written confirmation. If this notice is provided prior to 30 days before the event, then any payment made over the deposit will be returned. If notice is given with less than 30 days until the event or the event is cancelled due to non-payment (Clause 6) then no funds will be returned. 
  8. Should an event need to be postponed for whatever reason, we will move the deposit to a new date- assuming the new date is no later than 12 months in the future & that the new date is available. Should the new date be unavailable then the cancellation policy in Clause 7 is implemented. 

Special offers & promotions 

  1. Once a booking has been secured (e.g., Deposit paid) it cannot be retrospectively adjusted to take into account any new promotions being offered. 
  2. If you wish to take advantage of the offer instead, you will be required to cancel the booking- losing the initial deposit paid and re-apply. Please be aware we may have had other enquiries for your chosen date, and if so, they will be offered the date first. 
  3. Only one offer can be applied to a booking. If there are multiple offers available, the most beneficial option to the customer will be applied. 

30-day money back guarantee 

  1. A full refund will be issued to you if you no longer require our services for whatever reason, provided the below criteria are met: 
    1. Written notice is sent to, and confirmed by South Coast Pictures 
    2. Notice is given no later than 30 days from the event being secured (Booking form completed & deposit paid) 
    3. The event has not happened, or final preparation works undertaken (e.g. Pre- wedding meeting) 

Refunds 

  1. Refunds will be processed as soon as possible, however if the cancellation is caused by us being unable to trade (e.g. National emergency or personal injury,) then a credit note will be issued for the refund amount due. This can either be used against a new booking or can be repaid to you, from 30 days after we are able to restart trading.
