Eivan’s will have priority over any other type of photographer or videographer, whether employed or not in connection with the event and retains exclusive control over the positioning of cameras and equipment.

Hereby it is acknowledged that any photo or video lists submitted to Eivan’s will be used for organizational purposes only and in no way represents photography that will be produced. Due to the nature of the event, Eivan’s promises to do its best to fulfill all requests but cannot make any guarantees that all images or video clips will be delivered.
