2. If the photographer cannot perform this agreement in whole or in part due to an emergency, casualty, injury, acts of God or nature or terror or other cause beyond the control of the parties due to further liability with respect to this agreement no liability will be held to John Oh Photography. This limitation on liability shall also apply in the event that photographic materials are damaged in processing, lost through camera malfunction or otherwise lost or damaged with fault on the part of the photographer. Client(s) agree that an entire wedding cannot be replicated, reenacted or repeated for the purpose of a re-shoot and limits John Oh Photography liability to the amount paid under this contract.
