Last Updated: 9/8/2026
PROPERTY PREPARATION GUIDE
The Property should be fully cleaned, staged, accessible, and ready for photography before Morwell Media arrives. The scheduled appointment time is reserved for media production and is not intended for cleaning, staging, repairs, furniture moving, or other preparation.
The person or business booking the appointment is responsible for making sure the homeowner, seller, tenant, property manager, cleaner, stager, contractor, or other involved parties receive these preparation requirements before the appointment.
General Preparation
Before the scheduled appointment:
Complete all cleaning, decluttering, staging, landscaping, and maintenance.
Arrange furniture and décor in their intended final position.
Remove visible boxes, paperwork, cleaning supplies, excessive personal items, cords, trash, and unnecessary clutter.
Replace burned-out light bulbs and confirm that requested property features are operational.
Remove anything that should not appear in the final photographs or video.
Complete contractor, maintenance, landscaping, cleaning, and moving activity before Morwell Media arrives.
Make sure every requested room, exterior area, garage, amenity, or structure is prepared and accessible.

Remove pet waste.
Arrange outdoor furniture.
Clean patios, balconies, walkways, pool decks, and entry areas.
Complete landscaping and pool service.
Remove pool-cleaning equipment when safe.
Turn sprinklers off early enough to prevent water spray or wet pavement during photography.
Keep garage doors closed unless garage photography is requested.
Morwell Media is not responsible for digitally removing vehicles, trash containers, neighboring activity, construction materials, pool equipment, landscaping issues, or other items visible at the time of capture.
Lighting & Property Features
Unless Morwell Media provides different instructions:
Turn on appropriate interior lights.
Turn ceiling fans off.
Turn televisions and display screens off.
Prepare blinds and curtains consistently.
Make sure smart-home systems, motorized shades, gates, specialty lighting, and other requested features are ready for use.
For twilight photography, exterior, landscape, pool, spa, and appropriate interior lights should be operational before the scheduled window.
Morwell Media is not responsible for repairing, troubleshooting, programming, or operating unfamiliar appliances, alarm systems, smart-home systems, pools, spas, fireplaces, motorized features, or mechanical equipment.
Valuables & Sensitive Information
Before Morwell Media arrives, remove or secure anything that should not be photographed or handled, including:
Cash and jewelry
Firearms and weapons
Prescription medications
Identification documents
Financial or legal records
Mail
Keys and access credentials
Alarm codes
Confidential business information
Children’s identifying information
Computer screens containing private information
Fragile, valuable, collectible, or irreplaceable items
Morwell Media is not responsible for identifying, hiding, blurring, digitally removing, or securing personal or confidential items that were left visible.
What Morwell Media May Adjust
At its discretion, Morwell Media may make small visual adjustments such as:
Straightening a lightweight chair
Adjusting a pillow
Moving a small décor item
Adjusting curtains or blinds
Closing a cabinet or door
These adjustments are a courtesy and are not guaranteed.
Morwell Media is not a moving, cleaning, organizing, staging, repair, or interior-design service and is not required to move furniture, televisions, artwork, appliances, mattresses, large plants, boxes, fragile items, valuables, or other heavy or unstable objects.
Final Walkthrough
Before the appointment begins, the Client or authorized representative should confirm that:
The Property is clean and staged.
Requested areas are unlocked and accessible.
Vehicles have been moved.
Occupants and workers have relocated.
Pets are secured.
Sensitive items have been removed.
Lights and requested features are operational.
Special requests have been communicated to Morwell Media in writing.
Property Not Ready Upon Arrival
Morwell Media allows a complimentary grace period of up to 15 minutes when its schedule permits.
The grace period:
Is not guaranteed to extend beyond 15 minutes.
Does not extend the scheduled appointment.
Does not guarantee complete coverage.
Does not require Morwell Media to assist with preparation.
If the Property is still materially unprepared, inaccessible, occupied, unsafe, or otherwise unable to proceed after the grace period, Morwell Media may photograph the Property as presented, omit affected areas, reduce the completed scope, require rescheduling, or cancel the appointment.
Client-caused preparation failures do not automatically qualify for a refund, complimentary reshoot, additional editing, or free return visit.

ACCESS REQUIREMENTS
The Client is responsible for providing Morwell Media with timely, lawful, safe, and uninterrupted access to every area included in the scheduled services.
The appointment start time is reserved for media production. Access arrangements should be complete before Morwell Media arrives.
Client Authorization
By providing access to the Property, the Client represents that the Client has authority to:
Order the requested media services.
Permit Morwell Media to enter and photograph the Property.
Provide any required owner, seller, tenant, occupant, property-management, HOA, building, or commercial authorization.
Provide legally required notices.
Authorize access to all requested areas.
Morwell Media is not responsible for determining ownership rights, tenancy rights, notice requirements, or whether the Client has obtained every required permission.
If a person with actual or apparent authority denies access or instructs Morwell Media to leave, Morwell Media will stop work and leave rather than attempt to resolve the dispute on site.
Required Access Information
Before the appointment, provide all applicable:
Property address and unit number
Lockbox location and code
Door or gate code
Keys
Building-entry instructions
Parking instructions
Security or concierge authorization
Leasing-office arrangements
HOA or community access
Alarm instructions
Amenity access
Construction-site authorization
On-site contact information
The Client is responsible for confirming that all codes, keys, permissions, and credentials are correct and active.
Unattended Access
Morwell Media may photograph a vacant or unoccupied Property without the Client or agent present when authorized access has been provided.
Providing Morwell Media with a functioning lockbox code, temporary access code, key, or comparable credential authorizes Morwell Media to use that credential for the scheduled appointment.
Morwell Media may decline unattended entry when circumstances appear unsafe, disputed, unauthorized, or inconsistent with the booking information.
Lockboxes, Keys & Security Systems
Morwell Media will not:
Force or bypass a lock.
Enter through a window.
Climb a fence or gate to gain entry.
Manipulate damaged hardware.
Tailgate through a secured entrance.
Misrepresent its identity or authority.
Ignore a posted restriction or request to leave.
If a key pickup is required, it must be arranged in advance. Additional travel, parking, or key-handling expenses may apply when the pickup or return location materially increases the required travel.
Clients should use temporary or single-use access codes whenever practical.
Access Problems
If Morwell Media cannot access the Property, it may attempt reasonable contact with the designated Client or access contact.
Morwell Media is not required to repeatedly contact multiple agents, homeowners, tenants, property managers, assistants, or other parties to obtain entry.
A 15-minute complimentary grace period may be allowed when a limited access problem can reasonably be resolved and Morwell Media’s schedule permits.
If access cannot be obtained, Morwell Media may:
Photograph only accessible areas.
Omit inaccessible rooms or amenities.
Leave the Property.
Require rescheduling.
Treat a return visit as a separately paid service.
Apply the applicable cancellation and rescheduling terms.
The Client remains responsible for access failures caused by incorrect information, unavailable contacts, denied entry, missing credentials, locked rooms, insufficient notice, malfunctioning access systems, or similar Client-controlled conditions.

PETS, OCCUPANTS & PROPERTY SAFETY
Morwell Media wants every appointment to be safe, efficient, and respectful of the Property and everyone involved.
Pets & Animals
All animals must be disclosed and securely confined before Morwell Media arrives.
Suitable arrangements may include:
A closed crate
A securely closed room that will not be photographed
A locked enclosure
Removal from the Property
Staying with the owner or another responsible person away from active photography areas
A yard, baby gate, verbal assurance, or unsecured room may not be considered sufficient when an animal could escape or interfere with the appointment.
Morwell Media is not responsible for feeding, walking, moving, restraining, transporting, supervising, or handling pets or other animals.
Morwell Media may pause, modify, discontinue, or reschedule an appointment if an animal appears aggressive, uncontrolled, distressed, unsafe, or likely to interfere with people, equipment, or the Property.
Occupants, Children & Workers
Whenever reasonably possible, homeowners, tenants, children, guests, cleaners, contractors, movers, landscapers, maintenance workers, and other nonessential persons should remain outside the areas actively being photographed.
Anyone who remains at the Property must:
Avoid interfering with the photographer.
Remain outside active camera areas.
Follow reasonable safety instructions.
Avoid appearing in photographs, reflections, or video unless intentionally participating.
Avoid delaying room-to-room progress.
Cleaning, construction, moving, landscaping, maintenance, deliveries, or similar work should not occur during the appointment.
Intentional Appearance in Media
Adults who intentionally appear, speak, or perform in Morwell Media photography or video may be required to provide an appearance and voice release.
A minor may not be intentionally featured in Morwell Media photography or video without written authorization signed and dated by the minor’s parent or legal guardian.
Property Safety
The Client must disclose known or reasonably foreseeable hazards before the appointment, including:
Structural damage
Unstable flooring
Broken stairs or railings
Exposed electrical wiring
Active construction
Wet or slippery surfaces
Broken glass
Hazardous chemicals
Mold or contamination
Pest activity
Unsafe pools or water features
Unsecured weapons
Aggressive animals
Criminal activity or threatening persons
Any condition requiring specialized protective equipment
Morwell Media may refuse to enter or remain in any area it reasonably considers unsafe, unlawful, unsanitary, threatening, or outside the scope of the scheduled services.
Stopping or modifying work for a legitimate safety concern does not constitute a failure by Morwell Media to perform the contracted services.
Shoes Inside the Property
Morwell Media personnel will normally keep appropriate footwear on while working because photography equipment must be transported through the Property safely.
Shoe covers may be used when requested in advance and when doing so does not create an unsafe working condition.
Care of the Property
Morwell Media will use reasonable care while working inside and around the Property.
However, the Client is responsible for:
Securing valuables.
Removing fragile or unstable items.
Disclosing preexisting damage.
Identifying areas that should not be entered.
Ensuring requested areas are safe.
Morwell Media is not responsible for preexisting damage, latent defects, improperly installed items, unsecured valuables, malfunctioning property systems, or conditions unrelated to Morwell Media’s work.
Booking and Scheduling
-
Last Updated: 9/8/2026
Cancellation & Rescheduling Policy
Morwell Media reserves appointment time specifically for each Client and Property. The following policies are designed to keep scheduling fair while allowing reasonable flexibility when plans change.
Booking Retainer & Appointment Confirmation
A 25% booking retainer is required through HD Photo Hub when the appointment is requested.
Payment of the retainer places a temporary hold on the requested date and time. The appointment becomes officially confirmed once Morwell Media receives the Client’s completed and signed Service Agreement.
The Client will ordinarily have up to 48 hours after booking to return the signed Agreement.
If the Agreement is not signed within 48 hours:
Morwell Media may release the requested appointment time.
The 25% booking retainer will be returned.
A new booking request will be required if the Client later wishes to schedule services.
For appointments scheduled less than 48 hours in advance, the Agreement must be signed before Morwell Media travels to or begins services at the Property.
Remaining Balance
The booking retainer is applied toward the total amount due.
The remaining 75% balance becomes due after the photography appointment and must be paid before the Client can download final, unwatermarked Deliverables through HD Photo Hub.
Preview access, when available, does not constitute final delivery or authorization to use, copy, screenshot, publish, or distribute unpaid media.
Rescheduling With at Least 24 Hours’ Notice
A Client may request one reschedule when written notice is received at least 24 hours before the scheduled appointment.
When approved:
The existing booking retainer transfers to the replacement appointment.
No new retainer is required solely because of the first qualifying reschedule.
The replacement appointment must ordinarily occur within 10 calendar days of the original appointment date.
The replacement date remains subject to Morwell Media’s availability.
Morwell Media may approve a later date in writing when circumstances reasonably require it.
A preferred replacement date or time is not guaranteed.
Changes in Property, location, services, travel requirements, or scope may require updated pricing.
Cancellations or Changes Within 24 Hours
A cancellation or rescheduling request received less than 24 hours before the scheduled start time is considered a late cancellation.
In that circumstance:
The 25% booking retainer is forfeited.
The retainer does not transfer to another appointment.
A new booking retainer may be required before another date is reserved.
The Client may also be responsible for reasonable, documented expenses already incurred or committed specifically for the appointment, including approved parking, tolls, permits, subcontractor costs, specialty access expenses, or travel already begun.
Morwell Media does not impose additional cancellation penalties merely for the purpose of punishment.
Same-Day Cancellation, No Access or Property Not Ready
The appointment may be treated as a Client-caused late cancellation when Morwell Media is unable to reasonably begin or perform the scheduled services because of circumstances such as:
No access to the Property
Incorrect or missing codes, keys, or instructions
An unavailable required access contact
Owner, tenant, occupant, manager, or security personnel denying entry
An incorrect Property address
Unsecured animals
Materially incomplete cleaning, staging, or preparation
Active construction, maintenance, moving, or cleaning
Unsafe or undisclosed Property conditions
Other Client-controlled circumstances that prevent the appointment from proceeding
Morwell Media may allow a complimentary grace period of up to 15 minutes when the issue appears reasonably capable of being resolved and the schedule permits.
Additional waiting beyond 15 minutes is entirely at Morwell Media’s discretion and is not guaranteed.
Second Rescheduling Requests
A second request to move the same appointment may require:
Forfeiture or replacement of the original booking retainer
A new booking retainer
Updated pricing
A new agreement or booking record
Morwell Media may make reasonable exceptions in writing but is not required to do so.
Cancellation or Rescheduling by Morwell Media
Morwell Media may cancel, delay, or reschedule services because of illness, emergency, vehicle problems, equipment failure, unsafe conditions, weather, airspace restrictions, or another circumstance that reasonably prevents performance.
When Morwell Media is responsible for the inability to perform, the Client will generally be offered an appropriate combination of:
A replacement appointment
Completion of the affected service at a later date
A service credit
A refund of amounts attributable to services Morwell Media cannot provide
Morwell Media is not responsible for indirect losses such as lost commissions, delayed listings, missed marketing opportunities, or third-party expenses arising from an unavoidable cancellation or delay.

Last Updated: 9/8/2026
Weather, Twilight & Aerial Operations
Outdoor photography, twilight photography, and drone services are affected by weather, natural light, airspace restrictions, environmental conditions, and other factors outside Morwell Media’s control.
Morwell Media Determines Whether Conditions Are Suitable
Morwell Media retains final authority to determine whether conditions are reasonably safe, lawful, practical, and suitable for performing the scheduled services.
Factors may include:
Rain
Lightning or thunderstorms
High winds
Dust storms
Smoke or poor air quality
Extreme heat
Flooding or unsafe roads
Poor visibility
Equipment safety
Natural-light conditions
Airspace restrictions
Temporary flight restrictions
Property conditions
The professional judgment of the photographer or Remote Pilot in Command
Morwell Media will not be required to continue work when doing so would be unsafe, unlawful, or likely to damage equipment.
Client Preference vs. Unsafe Conditions
Ordinary clouds, haze, muted skies, imperfect sunsets, seasonal conditions, or a Client preference for different weather do not automatically qualify for a complimentary reschedule.
If Morwell Media is prepared and reasonably able to perform the service but the Client chooses not to proceed because the Client dislikes the sky, cloud cover, sunset color, or other safe existing condition, the standard Cancellation & Rescheduling Policy applies.
Morwell Media does not guarantee:
A dramatic sunset
A specific sky color
Clear skies
Particular clouds
A certain sun position
Matching environmental conditions between different dates
Twilight Photography
Twilight appointments depend on a narrow natural-light window.
The Client must ensure that the Property is fully prepared before the scheduled twilight period, including all requested:
Exterior lights
Landscape lights
Pool and spa lights
Entry and patio lights
Appropriate interior lights visible through windows
Gates and exterior access
Vehicles, occupants, pets, contractors, cleaners, and other activity should be cleared before the twilight window begins.
Morwell Media may adjust the exact photography timing based on sunset, weather, Property orientation, obstructions, and professional judgment.
Aerial / Drone Operations
Drone photography and video are subject to applicable FAA regulations, airspace restrictions, weather, visibility, Property conditions, people and vehicles nearby, equipment limitations, and operational safety.
The Remote Pilot in Command has final authority over whether a drone operation begins, continues, changes, or terminates.
A Client may not require Morwell Media or a pilot to fly when the operation is considered unsafe or unlawful.
Booking or payment does not guarantee that an aerial flight can legally or safely occur on the selected date.
When Only the Drone Portion Is Affected
If ground photography can be completed but aerial services cannot, Morwell Media may complete the unaffected services and handle the aerial portion separately.
Depending on the booking and circumstances, Morwell Media may:
Return for the aerial portion on another lawful date
Provide an appropriate credit
Substitute another service with the Client’s agreement
Refund the amount attributable solely to an aerial add-on that cannot ultimately be provided
When aerial photography is included as part of a larger package, Morwell Media will determine a reasonable remedy for the affected portion based on the package structure and circumstances.
Successfully completed services remain payable.
Weather-Related Return Visits
When Morwell Media determines that a service must be postponed because of unsafe weather, airspace, or other operational restrictions, the Client will not be charged a new booking retainer solely because of that postponement.
A weather or FAA-related continuation appointment covers the unfinished affected service only and does not automatically include a second complete photography session.

Travel & Service Area
Morwell Media is based in Chandler, Arizona and primarily serves the Greater Phoenix metropolitan area.
Standard Travel Area
Morwell Media generally prefers appointments located within approximately 50 driving miles of its Chandler service base.
Properties within this general service area will ordinarily not require an additional standard travel charge unless unusual parking, access, toll, key-pickup, permit, or transportation costs apply.
The 50-mile distance is a general operating guideline and does not prevent Morwell Media from accepting projects outside that area.
Travel Beyond Approximately 50 Miles
Appointments requiring extended travel are reviewed individually.
A $25 travel charge may ordinarily apply as a minimum additional travel fee for accepted appointments beyond Morwell Media’s preferred service area.
The final amount, if any, may depend on:
Driving distance
Travel time
Traffic
Property location
Parking
Tolls
Access difficulty
Required key pickup
Requested services
Scheduling impact
Whether a return trip is required
Any applicable travel charge should be disclosed to the Client before the appointment whenever reasonably possible.
Parking, Tolls & Property Access Costs
The Client may be responsible for reasonable costs required for Morwell Media to reach or access the Property, including:
Paid parking
Valet parking
Tolls
Building access fees
Security or escort charges
Permits
Amenity fees
Required parking permits
Special key-pickup or return travel
Morwell Media will not knowingly incur unnecessary or unreasonable expenses on the Client’s behalf.
Remote or Difficult-Access Properties
The Client should disclose unusual access or travel conditions before booking, including:
Unpaved roads
Difficult mountain or rural roads
Long equipment-carry distances
Restricted parking
Construction access
Gated or secured facilities
Specialized transportation
Limited cellular service
Boat, shuttle, or specialty access
Required protective equipment
Morwell Media may require a custom quote, additional travel arrangements, suitable transportation provided by the Client, or may decline an appointment when travel or access is unsafe or impractical.
Out-of-State, National & International Projects
Morwell Media may accept special projects outside Arizona, elsewhere in the United States, or internationally on a case-by-case basis.
These projects require a separate written quote and may require payment for expenses such as:
Airfare
Lodging
Ground transportation
Rental vehicles
Baggage or equipment fees
Parking and tolls
Meals or approved per diem
Permits
Insurance requirements
Local licensing or regulatory requirements
Additional travel days
Other reasonable project-related travel costs
No distant, overnight, out-of-state, or international project is confirmed until Morwell Media accepts the assignment and the Client approves the written pricing and travel terms.
Photography and Delivery
-
Last Updated: 9/8/2026
Turnaround & Delivery
Morwell Media provides professional next-business-day delivery for standard booked services unless a different timeline is stated in writing for a specific project.
Standard Turnaround
Final edited media is generally delivered by the end of the next business day following the completed appointment.
Business days are Monday through Friday, excluding major holidays, documented business closures, emergencies, or circumstances outside Morwell Media’s reasonable control.
If an appointment is divided across multiple dates because of weather, twilight timing, aerial restrictions, access issues, or another approved continuation, the delivery timeline may begin after all required capture work is complete unless Morwell Media agrees to deliver completed portions separately.
Delivery Through HD Photo Hub
Final Deliverables are provided through Morwell Media’s HD Photo Hub account unless another delivery method is approved in writing.
Depending on the services purchased, Deliverables may include:
High-resolution edited photographs
MLS-optimized photographs
Video content
Social-media reels or vertical content
Marketing graphics or related media
Other finished media specifically included in the Client’s order
Only final, professionally selected and edited files are considered Deliverables.
RAW files, bracketed exposures, unedited footage, rejected images, test files, editing catalogs, working files, project files, and intermediate exports are not included.
Final Payment Before Download
A 25% booking retainer is paid when the appointment is requested.
The remaining 75% balance is due after the appointment and before final Deliverables may be downloaded.
HD Photo Hub may display limited previews while a balance remains unpaid. Preview access does not constitute final delivery and does not authorize the Client to screenshot, copy, publish, distribute, or otherwise use unpaid media.
Final downloadable media and the associated usage license become available only after all required charges are paid and cleared.
Image Selection & Quantity
Morwell Media does not guarantee a fixed number of final images unless a specific quantity is stated in writing.
Morwell Media retains professional discretion regarding:
Image selection
Angles and composition
Lighting
Editing
Color and tonal treatment
Video sequencing
Music and graphics when included
Removal of duplicate, repetitive, technically unsuitable, unsafe, or unflattering captures
The Client is purchasing professional media services and final Deliverables—not every image, exposure, clip, or file created during production.
Client Download & Backup Responsibility
Clients should download, review, and independently back up all final Deliverables as soon as they are released.
HD Photo Hub and Morwell Media should not be treated as permanent archival storage.
Morwell Media is not responsible for loss resulting from:
Failure to download delivered files
Client device failure
Lost passwords or account access
Shared or compromised login credentials
Deleted downloads
Employee or brokerage turnover
Forwarded delivery links
Third-party platform changes
Failure to maintain independent backups
Morwell Media’s separate File Retention & Client Backup policy explains the 90-day project-media retention period.
Delays Outside Morwell Media’s Control
Although next-business-day delivery is the standard, reasonable delays may occur because of:
Weather-related continuation appointments
Drone or airspace restrictions
Client-requested changes
Missing information or approvals
Equipment or data issues
Internet or platform outages
Third-party service interruptions
Illness, emergency, or other circumstances outside Morwell Media’s reasonable control
If a material delay becomes known, Morwell Media will make reasonable efforts to notify the Client and provide an updated delivery estimate.
Listing & Marketing Deadlines
Morwell Media will use reasonable professional efforts to meet its stated turnaround time but does not guarantee a Client’s separate:
MLS activation time
Listing publication
Open house
Advertising campaign
Seller deadline
Brokerage deadline
Closing or transaction schedule
Social-media publication date
Clients should schedule media services with sufficient time for unexpected delays, corrections, weather, or third-party platform issues.

Last Updated: 9/8/2026
Revisions & Re-Edits
Morwell Media wants Clients to be satisfied with the final Deliverables and will reasonably correct genuine production or editing errors that fall within the originally purchased scope.
Review Your Deliverables Promptly
Clients should review all delivered photographs, video, reels, graphics, and other media as soon as possible after delivery.
Any suspected error, missing agreed Deliverable, or technical issue should be reported to Morwell Media within 3 business days of delivery whenever reasonably possible.
When requesting a correction, please identify the specific photograph, file, video timestamp, or Deliverable involved and clearly explain the concern.
Corrections of Morwell Media Errors
Reasonable corrections are provided without an additional editing charge when Morwell Media determines that the issue resulted from an error in the originally agreed services.
Examples may include:
An export or file error
A corrupted Deliverable
An obvious editing mistake
Incorrectly supplied text or branding when the Client originally provided the correct information
A missing Deliverable that was clearly included in the confirmed order
Another technical failure attributable to Morwell Media
Morwell Media retains professional discretion regarding the most appropriate correction, which may include re-editing, re-exporting, replacing, removing, or re-delivering the affected file.
Creative Preference Changes
A request based primarily on personal preference is not considered a correction of an error.
Examples include:
Requesting a different editing style after delivery
Changing brightness, warmth, color, or contrast based solely on preference
Requesting a different crop or orientation
Changing video sequence or pacing
Replacing previously approved music
Changing graphics, text, logos, or branding after production
Requesting additional photographs or footage
Requesting removal of objects that were present at the Property
Requesting edits that were not included in the original booking
Morwell Media may make minor courtesy adjustments when reasonable, but substantial preference changes or additional work may require a separate quote and Client approval before work begins.
Professional & Creative Discretion
The Client acknowledges that photography, video, editing, composition, color treatment, image selection, and other media-production decisions involve professional and artistic judgment.
Morwell Media retains final creative discretion regarding:
Image selection
Composition and camera angles
Lighting
Exposure and color treatment
Editing style
Video sequencing
Music and graphics when included
Exclusion of duplicate, repetitive, technically unsuitable, or unflattering material
Subjective dissatisfaction with Morwell Media’s established creative style does not automatically qualify the Client for a refund, complimentary re-edit, or reshoot when the delivered work materially conforms to the purchased services.
Clients are encouraged to review Morwell Media’s portfolio before booking.
Standard Editing Limitations
Morwell Media provides professional real estate media editing but does not offer extensive Photoshop manipulation or virtual staging as part of standard services.
Standard editing may include reasonable adjustments such as:
Exposure
White balance
Color correction
Contrast and tonal adjustments
Highlight and shadow recovery
Lens correction
Cropping and straightening
Minor distraction cleanup when simple and appropriate
Morwell Media does not provide or guarantee:
Virtual furniture placement
Virtual staging
Major object removal
Structural changes
Renovation simulation
Digital replacement of permanent Property features
Significant landscaping reconstruction
Removal or concealment of material Property defects
Other edits that materially misrepresent the Property
Morwell Media may decline any requested alteration that it considers misleading, unlawful, technically unreasonable, or inconsistent with professional standards.
Additional Editing
If a Client requests work beyond the original scope, Morwell Media may provide a separate quote.
Additional editing will not begin until the Client approves the additional charge in writing.
Turnaround for additional or complex editing may differ from the standard next-business-day delivery timeline.
Superseded Files
When Morwell Media provides an approved corrected version of a Deliverable, the corrected file replaces the prior version for authorized use.
Clients should discontinue use of any file that Morwell Media identifies as incorrect, superseded, withdrawn, or replaced.
-
Last Updated: 9/8/2026
Corrective Reshoots & Return Visits
Morwell Media distinguishes between a corrective reshoot, a continuation appointment, and a Client-requested return visit. These are not treated the same.
Corrective Reshoots
A complimentary corrective reshoot may be offered when Morwell Media determines that a material error attributable to Morwell Media prevents delivery of an agreed portion of the originally purchased services.
Examples may include:
A specifically requested room or feature was unintentionally missed
A material group of files was lost, corrupted, or unusable because of a Morwell Media technical failure
An agreed portion of the Property was not captured despite being accessible, prepared, and clearly included in the confirmed scope
Another production error attributable to Morwell Media cannot reasonably be corrected through editing
A corrective reshoot is generally limited to the affected area or service and does not automatically include a second complete photography session.
Morwell Media will determine whether a targeted correction, re-edit, file replacement, or return visit is the most appropriate remedy.
Continuation Appointments
A continuation appointment is not considered a corrective reshoot.
A continuation may be required when part of the original appointment cannot be completed because of circumstances such as:
Unsafe weather
Lightning
High winds
FAA or airspace restrictions
Drone safety limitations
Twilight conditions
Another condition that Morwell Media determines prevents safe or lawful completion
When Morwell Media determines that a continuation is necessary, the unfinished affected service may be completed on another available date without requiring a new booking retainer solely because of that continuation.
A continuation appointment covers the unfinished portion of the original services only.
Client-Requested or Property-Caused Return Visits
A return visit is not complimentary when it is required because of a Client-controlled, Property-related, or changed condition.
Examples include:
The Property was not fully prepared
A room, garage, amenity, or structure was locked or inaccessible
Access instructions were missing or incorrect
Occupants, pets, cleaners, contractors, or other people interfered with the appointment
Vehicles were not moved
Requested lights or Property features were not operational
Construction, landscaping, maintenance, or cleaning prevented photography
The Client later changes staging, décor, furnishings, or Property presentation
The Client requests additional rooms, features, angles, photographs, video, or services after the original appointment
A requested area was not identified before or during the original appointment
The Property changed after the original shoot
The Client wants a different time of day, season, lighting condition, or aesthetic result after the original work was properly completed
These return visits may be treated as:
A new appointment
An additional service
A custom-quoted return visit
A separately priced reshoot
Applicable service and travel charges may apply.
Creative Preference Is Not a Reshoot Error
A Client’s subjective dissatisfaction with Morwell Media’s professional style, composition, angles, editing, color treatment, image selection, or other creative decisions does not automatically qualify for a complimentary reshoot.
Morwell Media retains final creative discretion when the delivered work materially conforms to the purchased services.
Weather & Sky Preferences
A complimentary return visit is not provided solely because the Client prefers:
A brighter sky
Different clouds
A more dramatic sunset
A different sun position
Different seasonal landscaping
A different time of day
If Morwell Media determines that weather, FAA restrictions, or another safety issue prevents completion of a booked service, the applicable Weather, Twilight & Aerial Operations policy will control.
Reporting a Potential Morwell Media Error
Clients should report a suspected production error as soon as reasonably possible after delivery.
The request should identify:
The Property
The affected room, feature, file, or service
The specific concern
The requested resolution
Morwell Media may review the original order, communications, Property conditions, delivered media, and other relevant records before determining whether a corrective reshoot or another remedy is appropriate.
No Guarantee of Identical Conditions
Any return visit may produce different results because of:
Weather
Natural light
Landscaping
Property changes
Furnishings
Construction
Vehicles
Neighbors
Occupants
Traffic
Seasonal conditions
Time of day
Morwell Media does not guarantee that a return visit will reproduce the exact conditions, sky, shadows, reflections, lighting, composition, or appearance of the original appointment.

File Retention & Client Backup
Morwell Media provides professional media delivery, but it is not a permanent archival storage service.
Clients are responsible for downloading, reviewing, and independently backing up all final Deliverables after delivery.
90-Day Project Media Retention
Morwell Media may retain project media for up to 90 calendar days from the date of the original shoot.
Project media may include:
RAW photographs
Bracketed exposures
Final edited JPEG photographs
Video files
Social-media content
Working files
Project files
Intermediate exports
Other media created for the appointment
After the 90-day period, Morwell Media may permanently delete some or all project media from its computers, hard drives, storage devices, or other systems without further notice.
Morwell Media does not guarantee that any project file will remain available after the 90-day retention period.
RAW & Working Files Are Not Deliverables
RAW files, bracketed exposures, rejected images, unedited footage, editing catalogs, project files, intermediate files, test captures, and other working materials are not included in the Client’s purchase unless Morwell Media expressly agrees otherwise in writing.
The Client receives only the final Deliverables included in the confirmed order.
Client Backup Responsibility
Once final Deliverables are released, the Client should promptly:
Download all files
Confirm that downloads open correctly
Save copies to more than one secure location
Maintain independent backups
Preserve any files needed for future listing, marketing, compliance, or business purposes
Morwell Media is not responsible for future loss caused by:
Failure to download files
Client device failure
Lost passwords
Deleted files
Shared or compromised account credentials
Employee or brokerage turnover
Lost external drives
Cloud-account issues
Forwarded or expired links
Third-party platform changes
Failure to maintain independent backups
HD Photo Hub Is Not Permanent Storage
Files may be delivered through HD Photo Hub, but neither HD Photo Hub nor Morwell Media should be treated as a permanent media archive.
Gallery access, download links, previews, order records, or other platform features may later change, expire, or become unavailable.
The Client should not rely on continued online access as a substitute for maintaining independent copies.
Portfolio Copies Are Not an Archive
Morwell Media may retain selected finished media for portfolio, advertising, social media, promotional, educational, or business-development purposes when permitted under the applicable agreement.
The existence of a portfolio image does not mean Morwell Media retains the full original project or can recreate, restore, or re-deliver the Client’s complete files.
Morwell Media is not required to preserve portfolio copies for any particular period.
Requests Made Within 90 Days
If the Client requests re-delivery during the 90-day retention period, Morwell Media may assist when the requested files remain available.
Re-delivery is subject to:
File availability
Account verification
Technical feasibility
The Client’s payment status
Any reasonable administrative or recovery requirements
Morwell Media does not guarantee recovery even within the 90-day period if files are lost because of hardware failure, corruption, theft, accidental deletion, malware, storage failure, or another circumstance outside Morwell Media’s reasonable control.
Requests Made After 90 Days
After 90 calendar days from the shoot date:
Morwell Media has no obligation to retain project media.
Recovery or re-delivery is not guaranteed.
Deleted files may be permanently unrecoverable.
The Client may need to schedule and purchase a new photography or media appointment if the original files no longer exist.
If Morwell Media happens to retain an older file after the retention period, providing it remains entirely at Morwell Media’s discretion and does not create an ongoing storage obligation.
Business Records Are Different From Project Media
The 90-day project-media policy does not require Morwell Media to delete records that may reasonably need to be retained for business, accounting, tax, insurance, licensing, payment, dispute, safety, or legal purposes.
Contracts, invoices, payment records, licensing records, incident records, and similar administrative records may be retained separately for longer periods.
Rights, Privacy & Legal

Last Updated: 9/8/2026
Client Service Agreement & Terms
Morwell Media LLC provides photography, video, aerial, social-media, and related property-media services under a written Client Service Agreement.
The signed Client Service Agreement, the applicable HD Photo Hub order, and any approved written changes together govern the specific appointment.
Booking & Contract Acceptance
A 25% booking retainer is required when the appointment is requested through HD Photo Hub.
Payment of the retainer places a temporary hold on the requested date and time.
The appointment becomes officially confirmed once Morwell Media receives the Client’s completed and signed Client Service Agreement.
Clients will ordinarily have up to 48 hours after booking to return the signed Agreement. If the Agreement is not signed within that period, Morwell Media may release the appointment and return the booking retainer.
For short-notice appointments scheduled to occur sooner, the Agreement must be signed before Morwell Media travels to or begins services at the Property.
One Agreement Per Property Appointment
A separate signed Agreement may be required for each Property appointment, including repeat Clients.
The Agreement identifies the applicable:
Client
Property
Appointment date and time
Selected services
Pricing
Booking retainer
Access information
Property-specific instructions
Approved exceptions or changes
Clients should review all information carefully before signing and notify Morwell Media of any error before the appointment.
HD Photo Hub Order
The applicable HD Photo Hub order identifies the services, products, add-ons, pricing, payment status, appointment information, and other booking details associated with the project.
Approved changes made after booking may update the final scope or amount due.
Morwell Media will not perform additional paid services solely based on an unclear or disputed verbal request. Material additions or changes should be approved in writing or electronically through an accepted Morwell Media communication method.
Remaining Payment
The 25% booking retainer is applied toward the total order price.
The remaining 75% balance is due after the appointment and before final downloadable Deliverables are released through HD Photo Hub.
Final downloadable media and the applicable usage license remain restricted until all required charges are paid and cleared.
Client Responsibility
The person or business signing the Agreement is responsible for:
Providing accurate booking information
Confirming authority to order the services
Obtaining required Property permissions and notices
Preparing the Property
Providing safe and lawful access
Securing pets
Disclosing known hazards
Communicating special requests before the appointment
Reviewing delivered media
Paying all amounts properly due
A homeowner, seller, brokerage, assistant, property manager, or other third party does not automatically replace the signed Client’s responsibilities merely because that person assists with access or payment.
Morwell Media’s Role
Morwell Media is an independent media service provider and is not acting as the Client’s:
Real estate agent or broker
Property manager
Home inspector
Contractor
Security provider
Attorney or legal adviser
Morwell Media provides professional media services within the confirmed scope and retains reasonable creative and professional discretion in performing those services.
Client Resources
The Client Resources published on morwellmedia.com explain important operating policies concerning preparation, access, safety, scheduling, weather, aerial operations, delivery, revisions, file retention, licensing, privacy, and related matters.
The Client may be required to acknowledge these resources as part of the signing process.
If a specific signed Agreement directly conflicts with a general website description, the signed Property-specific Agreement and approved HD Photo Hub order will control unless otherwise required by law.
Electronic Signatures
Morwell Media uses electronic agreements and signatures.
By electronically signing the Client Service Agreement, the Client confirms that the Client:
Reviewed the Property and booking information
Had access to the Agreement and applicable policies
Had an opportunity to ask questions
Intends the electronic signature to be legally binding
Accepts the applicable payment, scheduling, access, licensing, liability, and other terms
Clients should save a copy of the completed Agreement for their records.
Changes & Exceptions
A special exception, discount, accommodation, or one-time waiver does not automatically modify Morwell Media’s policies for future appointments.
Any material exception should be approved by Morwell Media in writing.

Media Licensing & Copyright
Morwell Media LLC retains the copyright and intellectual-property rights in the photographs, video, aerial media, edits, graphics, and other original media it creates.
The Client’s payment purchases the agreed services and an authorized license to use the final Deliverables. It does not transfer Morwell Media’s copyright, RAW files, working files, or ownership of the underlying media.
When the Client’s License Begins
The Client’s usage license becomes active only after all required charges for the booking have been paid and cleared.
Before full payment, previews or other visible media may not be copied, screen-captured, downloaded, published, distributed, or otherwise used.
Standard Client License
After full payment, the Contracting Client receives a nonexclusive license to use the final Deliverables for the identified Property and for reasonable promotion of the Client’s own work connected with that Property.
Permitted uses may include:
MLS
Brokerage marketing
Zillow, Realtor.com, and similar listing platforms
The Client’s website
The Client’s social media
Email marketing
Printed property marketing
Flyers and marketing materials
Social-media reels and related marketing content
Approved vendors acting only on the Client’s behalf for that Property
The Client may continue using the media for the same Property in a future or renewed marketing campaign when the Client remains the authorized user, provided the media is still accurate and appropriate for the Property.
The Client is responsible for determining whether older media remains compliant with current MLS, brokerage, disclosure, advertising, and other applicable requirements.
Brokerage & Agent Changes
If a real estate agent who is the Contracting Client changes brokerages but continues representing the same Property, the license may continue with that agent for the same authorized Property use.
A replacement agent, unrelated agent, new business, or other successor does not automatically receive the original Client’s license.
A new user may contact Morwell Media to request written permission or a separate license.
Property Owners
When a real estate agent, brokerage, or other business is the Contracting Client, the Property owner does not automatically receive independent commercial rights to the media.
Morwell Media may permit reasonable personal use by the homeowner, such as privately keeping or sharing photographs of the Property.
Commercial use, future listing use by another agent, rental advertising, business promotion, or other independent marketing may require separate permission.
Third-Party Commercial Use
The following parties do not automatically receive commercial rights merely because they own, designed, built, staged, managed, serviced, or worked on the Property:
Builders
Developers
Architects
Interior designers
Stagers
Contractors
Landscapers
Pool companies
Property managers
Hotels
Apartment communities
Vendors
Publications
Other businesses
These parties must obtain written permission or a separate commercial license from Morwell Media before using the media for their own advertising, portfolio, promotion, publication, or commercial purposes.
Permitted File Adjustments
Clients may make ordinary technical adjustments required for proper placement, such as:
Cropping
Resizing
Compression
File-format conversion required by a platform
Clients may not materially alter Morwell Media’s work without written permission.
Prohibited alterations include:
Applying filters that materially change the image
Significant color manipulation
Virtual staging
AI-generated additions or removals
Altering architectural or Property features
Creating misleading Property conditions
Removing Morwell Media branding or copyright information when present
Claiming authorship of Morwell Media’s work
Artificial Intelligence & Dataset Use
Morwell Media media may not be used without written authorization to:
Train an artificial-intelligence model
Fine-tune a generative model
Build or contribute to a machine-learning dataset
Generate derivative AI imagery
Provide training material to an AI or data company
Ordinary platform processing necessary to upload, display, resize, or deliver authorized marketing media is not considered an independent AI-training license.
Morwell Media Portfolio & Promotional Use
Unless a Confidential Property / Portfolio Opt-Out Request is submitted and accepted before the appointment, Morwell Media may use selected finished media for its own:
Website portfolio
Social media
Advertising
Google Business Profile
Printed marketing
Presentations
Awards or competitions
Educational demonstrations
Publications
Business development
Portfolio media may naturally display identifying details that were visible at the Property, including house numbers, street signs, neighboring properties, vehicles, reflections, landmarks, or other background information.
The Client is responsible for notifying Morwell Media before publication if a Property requires confidentiality or contains identifying information that should not be publicly shown.
Morwell Media does not guarantee digital removal of every incidental identifying detail.
Confidential Properties
Clients who do not want their Property used in Morwell Media’s portfolio or promotional materials should submit the Confidential Property / Portfolio Opt-Out Request before the appointment.
When accepted, Morwell Media will reasonably restrict future promotional use of that project.
Morwell Media cannot guarantee removal of media already lawfully published, printed, cached, indexed, shared by third parties, or distributed before an opt-out request was received.
Unauthorized Use
Unauthorized copying, resale, transfer, commercial use, AI use, alteration, or distribution of Morwell Media’s work may result in:
Suspension of the applicable license
Removal requests
Retroactive licensing charges
Copyright enforcement
Platform takedown notices
Other remedies available under the Client Service Agreement or applicable law

Minor Property Adjustments

Occupants, Contractors & Other People
The Client is responsible for coordinating homeowners, tenants, guests, cleaners, contractors, property managers, employees, stagers, and other people at the Property.
Morwell Media is not responsible for loss, damage, interruption, privacy concerns, or other issues caused by another person’s actions, undisclosed presence, failure to follow instructions, or interference with the appointment.
Reporting Property Damage
If the Client or Property owner believes Morwell Media caused damage during an appointment, the issue should be reported as soon as reasonably possible.

The item or area allegedly damaged
A description of what occurred
Photographs or video of the condition
Information showing the item’s condition before the appointment
Proof of ownership when relevant

Contact information for the Property owner or other responsible person
Prompt reporting allows Morwell Media to investigate while relevant information and evidence are still available.
Investigation of a Claim
Morwell Media may reasonably:
Inspect the affected area or item
Request photographs, receipts, estimates, or other supporting information
Review appointment photographs, video, communications, and records
Speak with witnesses or people present
Obtain an independent repair or replacement estimate
Refer the matter to its insurance provider
Preserve relevant records or evidence
The Client and Property owner should reasonably cooperate with the investigation.

Existing or Uncertain Damage
Morwell Media is not responsible for damage that existed before the appointment or resulted from:
Normal wear and tear
Structural or installation defects
Deterioration
Defective hardware
Another person’s actions
Pets or occupants

Conditions outside Morwell Media’s reasonable control
When responsibility for damage is disputed, Morwell Media may request documentation reasonably necessary to determine the cause, prior condition, ownership, and appropriate repair or replacement value.
Insurance & Resolution
Morwell Media maintains business liability insurance and may refer an appropriate claim to its insurer for investigation and resolution.
Depending on the circumstances, a valid claim may be addressed through reasonable repair, replacement, insurance resolution, reimbursement, or another appropriate remedy.
Nothing in this policy requires Morwell Media to pay an unsupported, unverified, exaggerated, or unrelated claim.
Service-Related Claims
Photography and media services involve professional and creative judgment. Morwell Media does not guarantee that media services will result in a particular:
Sale
Lease
Listing price
Number of showings
Offer
Social-media performance
Advertising result
Marketing outcome
Claims relating to delivery, editing, missing Deliverables, corrective work, or other service issues are handled under Morwell Media’s applicable Revisions & Re-Edits, Corrective Reshoots & Return Visits, and Client Service Agreement terms.

Morwell Media does not control every aspect of a third-party provider’s systems and cannot guarantee that any internet-based platform will operate without interruption or security risk.
Payments
Payments are processed through HD Photo Hub and its applicable payment infrastructure.
Morwell Media does not require Clients to send complete payment-card information through email, text message, JotForm, or ordinary communication channels.
Clients should use the secure payment methods provided through the authorized booking and payment system.
Photography, Video & Property Privacy
Property media may naturally or incidentally show:
House numbers
Street signs
Neighboring homes
Vehicles
License plates
Artwork
Personal belongings
Reflections
Voices
Occupants
Property features
Neighborhood landmarks or surrounding areas
The Client is responsible for preparing the Property, securing sensitive belongings, obtaining required permissions, and notifying Morwell Media of areas or information that should not be photographed or publicly shown.
Morwell Media does not guarantee that every incidental identifying detail will be digitally removed.
Clients requiring greater confidentiality should submit a Confidential Property / Portfolio Opt-Out Request before the appointment.
Portfolio & Promotional Media
Unless a confidentiality or portfolio opt-out request is submitted and accepted, Morwell Media may retain and use selected finished media for its own portfolio, website, social media, advertising, educational demonstrations, publications, competitions, and business promotion.
Portfolio media is separate from Morwell Media’s project-storage obligations.
The fact that one or more images remain publicly displayed does not mean the complete project, RAW files, video footage, or original Deliverables remain archived or available for re-delivery.
Contractors & Editors
Morwell Media may provide approved contractors or editors with only the information reasonably necessary to complete their assigned work.
For example, an editor may receive project media and editing instructions but ordinarily does not need unrelated Client financial information, permanent access credentials, or other unnecessary personal information.
Contractors may be required to follow confidentiality, security, intellectual-property, and data-handling requirements established by Morwell Media.
Cookies, Website Data & Advertising
Squarespace, HD Photo Hub, and other service providers may use cookies, authentication tools, logs, analytics, device information, or similar technologies necessary for website operation, security, account access, preferences, booking, and delivery.
Morwell Media currently does not intentionally use Meta Pixel, Google Analytics, or similar cross-site behavioral advertising trackers on its website.
If Morwell Media later introduces advertising or analytics technologies that materially change its privacy practices, this Privacy Policy may be updated accordingly.
Transactional Email & Text Communications
Morwell Media and its service providers may send communications concerning:
Booking confirmation
Agreement status
Appointment reminders
Property preparation
Access
Scheduling changes
Payment
Delivery
Support
Security or service updates
These operational communications are separate from unrelated promotional advertising.
Where automated text opt-out features are available, Clients may use those controls. Opting out of text messages does not cancel an appointment or prevent Morwell Media from sending necessary communications through another appropriate method.

Morwell Media may share information when reasonably necessary with:
HD Photo Hub
JotForm
Squarespace
Payment-processing providers
Google
Zoho
Adobe
Approved editors, photographers, assistants, or drone pilots

To protect Morwell Media’s rights
To comply with legal obligations
In connection with a sale, reorganization, or transfer of Morwell Media’s business
Morwell Media does not sell Client personal information as part of its ordinary business model.
Data Security
Morwell Media uses reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards appropriate for a small media business.
These may include:
Password-protected accounts
Multifactor authentication when available
Limited contractor access
Secure payment systems
Device protections
Controlled local storage
Physical control of storage equipment
Limiting access credentials to individuals who need them
No electronic system, cloud platform, storage device, or transmission method can be guaranteed completely secure or error-free.
Clients are responsible for protecting their own accounts, passwords, devices, downloads, and forwarded delivery links.
Access Credentials
Temporary Property-access information should be used only as necessary to perform the appointment.
Morwell Media may delete access codes, gate information, lockbox details, or other temporary credentials from ordinary working records when they are no longer needed.
Morwell Media may retain related information longer when reasonably necessary for a confirmed return visit, safety incident, dispute, insurance matter, or legal requirement.
File & Record Retention
Project media is governed by Morwell Media’s separate File Retention & Client Backup policy.
Morwell Media has no obligation to retain RAW files, edited photographs, video, or other project media beyond 90 calendar days from the original shoot date.
After that period, project media may be permanently deleted and recovery is not guaranteed.
Business records may be retained for longer periods when reasonably necessary, including:
Signed contracts
Electronic-signature records
Invoices
Payment records
Tax and accounting records
Copyright and licensing records
Insurance records
Incident reports
Claims and dispute records
Other legally or operationally necessary business documentation

Requests may include reasonable requests to:
Correct inaccurate information
Ask what information Morwell Media maintains
Request deletion of information that Morwell Media is not required to retain
Raise a privacy or security concern
Morwell Media may verify identity or authority before responding.
A request may be limited or denied when information must reasonably be retained for payment, contracts, taxes, insurance, fraud prevention, copyright, safety, legal claims, or another lawful business purpose.
Children & Minors
Morwell Media does not intentionally direct its business services to children.
A minor may not be intentionally featured in Morwell Media photography, video, or promotional media without written authorization signed and dated by the minor’s parent or legal guardian.
Policy Updates
Morwell Media may update this Privacy Policy as its services, technology, vendors, advertising practices, or legal obligations change.
Updates generally apply to future activity unless applicable law or a signed Client Agreement requires otherwise.
If you have questions about any Morwell Media policy or need to request a Property-specific exception, confidentiality restriction, or accommodation, please contact shayne@morwellmedia.com before your scheduled appointment.
These Client Resources supplement Morwell Media’s signed Client Service Agreement and applicable HD Photo Hub order. If a signed Property-specific term directly conflicts with a general website description, the signed agreement and approved order will control.
