#5 Payment Plan Contract
Use payment plans as an “ace in the sleeve” way to make larger sales with your clients. By having a payment plan contract, authorization to charge, and guidance – you’ll be set to start taking larger amounts of money while servicing your clients.
The Payment Plan Contract protects the payment plan and provides legal support if you need to enforce your rights.
#6 Commercial License – aka print release for use of images as headshots, etc.
The complexity of commercial photography can be intimidating. If you capture corporate headshots, personal branding photography, magazine images, or product photography, you must understand how to legally protect your commercial work.
Use a commercial license to convey commercial rights to a party while you retain copyrights. TheLawTog’s license document covers use of images in commerce, copyright ownership, indemnification, acknowledgment of rights, contract termination, third-party infringement, confidentiality and more.

#7 Cancellation of Contract Document
Sometimes things don’t always pan out with a client and you need to break up with them. Oops! If your contract doesn’t regulate how to cancel the arrangement, or you have additional/changed terms – you’re going to need to execute a cancellation document.
This contract is to serve to terminate a previously existing contract and terminate the relationship in any future capacity (until a new contract is signed).
The Cancellation of contract document is a top purchase made at TheLawTog.
#8 Website Terms Bundle
Advertising and gaining clients through your website is a great way to grow your business – however, you need to make sure you have the proper terms, policies and information in place.
These lawyer-drafted templated documents give you the foundation and information needed to protect yourself and your website visitors.
Easily download the Website terms bundle then simply link them to your footer. Done!
#9 Second Shooter Bundle
From assignment duties and use of equipment, to copyrights and portfolio usage, the complexities of teaming up with a second photographer are intimidating.
At the same time, if you’ve photographed a wedding or large-scale event, you know this partnership is crucial to your success. If you plan to hire (or be hired as) a second photographer for an event such as a wedding, it is essential to complete a Second Shooter Contract.
That’s why we offer affordable bundles tailored to professionals just like you. Our team of lawyers and photographers at TheLawTog® developed, reviewed, and approved the legal documents needed to protect the relationship.
