This agreement will serve to allow posting low-resolution or high-resolution photos to social media sites, only in the case that Cahobbsphotography is credited and that photos are NOT altered with editing or filters. Additionally, it is understood that the client will NOT remove, or have removed, watermarks from Internet images Cahobbsphotography has uploaded to Facebook or his website, or from the low-resolution images offered for free to clients who have purchased digitals.
