FAQs

Client contracts for any kind of shoot: commercial photography, editorial, weddings, events, product work, and more, plus talent and property releases. Every one is built from your own saved terms and a library of pre-written clauses (payment, cancellation, weather, AI usage, usage rights, and more), not a single generic template.

Most client-management tools are built to serve every kind of service business, so their contract and invoicing tools are generic. SetBook is built specifically for photographers, videographers, and production teams: shoot-specific contract clauses, invoices that pull straight from the same contract, releases with the same signing flow, your Network of contacts, and Call Sheets, all connected to the same project. You can run everything through SetBook, or just lean on the pieces your current tool doesn't cover well.

The clause library is written in plain, standard language for photography and video work, and a contract is legally binding once both parties sign it. That said, contract and consumer-protection law varies by country and state, so SetBook isn't a substitute for your own legal counsel on anything unusual or high-value: treat it as a strong starting point, not legal advice.

Yes. Add or remove clauses from the built-in library, write your own, and edit any of the generated text before you send it. Once it's out for signing, changing the terms means voiding it and sending a fresh version, so both parties are always looking at exactly what they signed.

Yes, every contract and release you create is saved to your account so you can find and re-download it later. It's private to your business; see our Privacy Policy for details.

Yes. SetBook is built for photographers and videographers worldwide, and the clause library is written in deliberately jurisdiction-neutral language rather than tied to one country's law. Specific consumer-protection, tax, and privacy rules still vary by country, so get local advice for anything unusual.

Everything lives under a Project: the client and shoot details, the Contract, the Invoice, Releases, Deliverables, and a Call Sheet if you're using one. Your Network (contacts) sits alongside Projects, shared across all of them.

Depends on your plan. Solo is built for one person running their own projects. Studio is the plan for studios, agencies, and teams: it's the one that supports multiple members working inside the same business.

Yes. Only your business's own members can see your Projects, Network, contracts, and invoices. Anything you share externally (a signing link, an invoice link, a Call Sheet link) is a separate, deliberate opt-in.

Status is where a project sits in your own workflow (Planning, Upcoming, Shooting, Editing, Delivered, Completed). Health is a separate signal for whether anything needs your attention right now (a contract unsigned, a deliverable overdue); the two are intentionally never combined into one value.

Yes, toggle "This is a multi-day shoot" when creating or editing a project to add extra dates, and use a Call Sheet for full day-by-day call times, locations, and a runsheet.

Build it in the Contract or Releases tab of a project, then copy the signing link and send it yourself: to a client by email, text, or however you'd normally reach them. The other party signs online, no printing, scanning, or emailing PDFs back and forth.

Yes, your default terms (payment, cancellation, usage rights, etc.) live in Settings and pre-fill every new contract or release, fully editable per project.

Yes, Invoicing supports separate deposit and remainder invoices, each with their own shareable link and their own "mark as paid" state.

Yes, Invoicing accepts an uploaded PDF as an alternative to the built-in generator.

Yes, there's no such thing as a project-only contact. Anyone you add to a project (including through a Call Sheet's crew list) is saved to your Network too, so their history builds up automatically.

Yes, set a business-wide default in Settings, and override it per call sheet in that call sheet's Style section if a specific one needs to be different.

Yes, it's always live: regenerated from whatever the call sheet currently says whenever someone opens it, not a frozen snapshot from when you first shared it.
