Under these circumstances The Photographer(s) are not liable to compensate The Client(s) in any way whatsoever.

g. Due to a variety of lighting conditions and the limitations of digital capture, some colours may alter slightly throughout a set of photographs. Please note that certain colours do not reproduce exactly on photographic paper.
