Fourmen Events Photographer Terms & Conditions

Version 1.0 · effective Tue, 6 Oct 2026

These terms are an agreement between you (the "Photographer") and Fourmen Events ("Fourmen", "we") for offering your photography services to clients through the Fourmen Events platform. Please read them carefully. You must accept them before your photographer profile is activated.

  1. 1. Your work and portfolio

    1. 1.1All work you upload must be your own.
    2. 1.2Uploaded work must not contain watermarks, logos, phone numbers, social media handles or any other contact details.
    3. 1.3Fourmen may remove any photo that breaks these rules.
    4. 1.4You give Fourmen a non-exclusive licence to display your portfolio on the platform and in Fourmen promotions.
    5. 1.5You keep ownership of your work.

  2. 2. Packages and pricing

    1. 2.1You set your own package prices.
    2. 2.2A Fourmen service fee of LKR 2,000 is added to every package price you set, and clients see the combined price. Example: if you set LKR 18,000, the package is listed at LKR 20,000 and you receive LKR 18,000.

  3. 3. Payments

    1. 3.1To book a time slot, the client pays a fixed advance of LKR 4,000.
    2. 3.2All client payments, including the advance and the remaining balance, are made to Fourmen Events through the platform. Fourmen verifies every payment before any amount is released to you.
    3. 3.3Of the advance, LKR 2,000 is retained by Fourmen as its service charge. The remaining LKR 2,000 is remitted to your nominated bank account once the advance has been verified.
    4. 3.4The remaining balance is paid by the client through the platform, before or after the shoot. Once Fourmen has verified the balance payment, the full balance is remitted to your nominated bank account. Fourmen makes no further deduction from the balance.
    5. 3.5Remittances are made manually by bank transfer within a reasonable time after verification. Please ask clients to pay through the platform, so that every payment is verified and recorded and the booking stays protected.
    6. 3.6You must keep the payout bank details in your dashboard accurate and up to date. Fourmen is not responsible for transfers made to incorrect details that you provided.

  4. 4. Identity, contact details and booking protection

    1. 4.1To protect the Fourmen booking process, your personal contact details and identifying information stay confidential until approximately two weeks before the scheduled event. This protects confirmed bookings, ensures proper coordination through Fourmen, and prevents direct arrangements outside the platform. Until then, clients see your stage name.
    2. 4.2Fourmen does not hide your brand permanently. About two weeks before the event, your brand identity and contact details are revealed to the client, and you and the client are notified, so the client can contact you directly.
    3. 4.3Fourmen handles the initial booking and coordination between you and the client. Once your details are shared, Fourmen will not unnecessarily interfere with your direct communication or professional relationship with the client, except where coordination or help is needed to deliver the agreed service.

  5. 5. Time slots and bookings

    1. 5.1You will only add time slots that you can truly shoot. Slots are booked first come, first served.
    2. 5.2A confirmed booking is a commitment. If you cannot attend, you must tell Fourmen as early as possible so that Fourmen can arrange for the client.
    3. 5.3Repeated cancellations or no-shows may lead to removal from the platform.

  6. 6. Delivery and feedback

    1. 6.1Fourmen recommends delivering each client's edited photos and videos within two weeks of the shoot, shared through the platform.
    2. 6.2Edited photos must be of the standard shown in your portfolio and include what the client's package promises.
    3. 6.3Clients can leave feedback through the platform. Feedback may be considered when allocating future bookings.

  7. 7. Client privacy

    1. 7.1You will use client details only to deliver the booked service, keep them confidential, and not share them with anyone else.
    2. 7.2You will not use client photos for your own promotion without the client's permission.

  8. 8. Fair use of the platform

    1. 8.1Bookings made through Fourmen remain subject to the Fourmen service charge, even if the client contacts you directly after your details are revealed.
    2. 8.2You will not use the platform to move bookings away from Fourmen to avoid the service charge.
    3. 8.3You will treat every client professionally and respectfully.

  9. 9. Suspension and ending this agreement

    1. 9.1Fourmen may suspend or remove listings that break this Agreement.
    2. 9.2Either party may end this Agreement by written notice. Confirmed bookings must still be honoured.

  10. 10. Responsibility and disputes

    1. 10.1You are responsible for your own equipment, conduct and the services you deliver to clients.
    2. 10.2If a disagreement arises between you and Fourmen, both parties will first try to resolve it in good faith by discussion.

  11. 11. General

    1. 11.1You are an independent photographer and not an employee of Fourmen.
    2. 11.2This Agreement is governed by the laws of Sri Lanka.
    3. 11.3This is the full agreement between the parties. Changes must be agreed in writing. If Fourmen updates these terms, you will be asked to accept the new version in your dashboard before continuing, and that acceptance counts as written agreement. Changes do not affect bookings already confirmed.
    4. 11.4When you accept, Fourmen records your name, email, the date and time, your IP address and the exact version of these terms you accepted, as a record of this Agreement.
