permissions and authorisations necessary to provide photography services (if
such permissions and authorisations are required by the applicable law),
alternatively Photographer declares, that he/she is legally allowed to provide
photography services on occasional basis (not as a businessperson) if this is
allowed by the applicable law.

sending the “booking form” on the profile of Photographer. All other details
regarding the photo shoot are then arranged and specified via emails. User is
invited to pay via payment gateway after all the details of the photo shoot are
cleared. The binding booking is made after receiving the payment from User.

payment gateway) for the photo shoot on behalf of the Photographer.
