Let customers speak for us

In getting ready to add products (specifically albums) to my portrait session offerings, I realized that I needed some terms to make sure I was protected - especially considering an error or issue, means a direct loss when you're printing items. I instantly thought "I bet Paige has a contract for this," and sure enough! I wouldn't have know where to begin writing my own terms. This contract covers issues I never even considered!

Website Terms & Conditions + Privacy Policy

As a wedding planner who launched a travel business, I knew the importance of getting a contract before I even started working with my first client. The Legal Paige is always who I go to for legal resources for my business. I love how easy it is to customize and how well they explain certain sections. In fact, I love TLP so much that I asked to be an affiliate so I can share about it with my fellow business owner community!

I recently launched an affiliate program for one of my offers and this template was so clutch! I started to use ChatGPT, but I'm SO happy I went with this instead. It included everything I needed for my affiliate program (plus some things I hadn't even thought to include)! I also liked that Paige included notes with instructions for how/when to use certain sections, so it was fully customizable to my needs. VERY happy with this template!

This is exactly what I was hoping for and I'm glad, because I needed a really good chargeback clause. It was nice to also receive a guide on how it should be used!

The delivery of the doc is great! Paige does a wonderful step by step job explaining the details of the Terms & Conditions document. I've bought a couple templates from other lawyers, but they fell short. Paige's materials are excellent and top notch! I plan on purchasing more items from her in the future.

I knew my current contract wasn’t strong enough but I didn’t realize just how weak it was until I got this bad boy contract. I’ve never felt so secure!

There are so many specific clauses that absolutely are non-negotiable to have in your Family or Couples Contract that TLP includes:
- Image Processing, Retouching, & Edits Clause
- Poses & Selection of Delivered Images Clause
- Model Release Clause

Don't shoot a session without setting the expectations and standard of how you run your business without these!
It will save you the headache later!!

Made my life so much easier, with a current to-do list longer than a CVS receipt, it was unbelievably nice to be able to check off something I have been stressing about so much, with almost zero effort on my part. A few tweaks and words replaced and I was done, which is so much easier than starting from scratch with no idea how or where to start. Probably the easiest thing I have done for my business so far and I have zero worry about if I am covering myself and meeting requirements or not. Huge relief.

Super easy to use and has made me feel more secure and confident in providing and executing my photographic services! I don't know what I'd do with TLP

Easy to use! TLP contracts are maneuverable and I feel much more confident in my business knowing I have TLP contracts under my belt.

The contract exceeded my expectations and made me so much more comfortable moving forward with bigger jobs! It covers so many important things that I didn't even think about! Like harassment! Amazing work and worth the investment.

The contract is super easy to use with clear direction on how to customize it to my needs!

This contract was so easy to use and made me feel so much more confident dealing with cancellations after covid. I had a bunch of weddings cancelled from the Maui fires and this saved me!

The contract was so detailed. The contract was so easy to customize, along with detailed notes of why certain things are included and how to change it to make it fit your business needs.
