Nested Social Creative studio

Legal

Terms & Conditions

Last updated: 2026

Draft, needs review. A sensible starting point for a UK content studio, not legal advice. Have it checked by someone qualified, and fill in the bracketed details, before you go live.

1. These terms

These terms cover use of this website and, where referenced in a proposal, the work Nested Social carries out for you. Where a signed proposal or contract says something different, that document wins.

2. Quotes and booking

Quotes are valid for 30 days. A shoot date is held once you’ve accepted the proposal in writing and paid the deposit: [50%] of the project fee, or the first month for a retainer.

3. Payment

The balance is due on delivery, within [14] days of invoice. Retainers are invoiced monthly in advance. Late payment may attract statutory interest under the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998.

4. Cancellation and weather

Shoots cancelled with more than [14] days’ notice are rescheduled at no charge. Inside that, the deposit is retained. If we postpone because conditions make the shoot unworkable, we’ll rebook at no extra cost, though as a rule we shoot in rain quite happily.

5. Retainers

Monthly work runs on a rolling basis, with one month’s written notice to end it from either side. Unused days don’t roll over. Expenses such as travel and accommodation are charged on top of the rate.

6. Your responsibilities

You’ll give us safe access to the property, tell us about anything we need to know before arriving, and make sure you have permission for anyone or anything we photograph. Where guests appear, you’re responsible for obtaining their consent.

7. Ownership and licence

Copyright in the photographs and film remains with Nested Social. On full payment you receive a perpetual, worldwide, unlimited licence to use the delivered content for your own marketing: website, listings, social, print and paid media. You may not resell it or pass it to a third party for their own marketing without asking us first.

We keep the right to show the work in our own portfolio and social channels. Tell us if you’d rather we didn’t and we’ll respect it.

8. Revisions

One round of revisions is included on delivered edits. Reshoots because of a change of mind about styling or scope are quoted separately.

9. Liability

We carry [public liability and professional indemnity] insurance. Our liability is limited to the fees paid for the work in question. We aren’t liable for indirect or consequential loss, including lost bookings or profit. Nothing here limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud.

10. Results

We don’t guarantee particular follower counts, engagement rates or bookings. Anyone who does is guessing. We guarantee the work, the craft and the deadlines.

11. Governing law

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction.
