Client agreements that prevent claims
- Name a second shooter or assistant in the contract if one will attend, and confirm whether they are your employee or a contractor.
- If the client's venue requires additional insured wording, write who is responsible for providing it and by when.
- Explain your backup practice (dual card slots, same-day copies) in the contract, and describe what you will do if files are lost anyway.
- Include a limitation of liability tied to the fees paid, so a lost card or equipment failure does not become a claim for the whole cost of the event.
Insurers reviewing an application often ask whether you use written agreements. Having one in place can make a difference in how a dispute is handled.
