What should I do if I pay a deposit of 1000 for wedding photography?

First of all, if both parties agree that the payment is a deposit, then if you breach the contract, the other party can not refund the deposit. If the other party defaults, you can ask for double deposit.

The refund of the deposit should include two situations. If the customer defaults, he has no right to ask for a refund of the deposit. If the studio defaults, it should double the deposit.

Determine the total price of the photography package you chose at that time, because according to the regulations, the deposit can only account for 20% of the total price, and the excess is invalid. That is to say, even if you breach the contract, if 20% of the total price is less than 1 000 yuan, the other party needs to return the excess to you.

If the store refuses to return the goods, it can complain to the Consumers Association or solve it through court proceedings.

According to the relevant provisions of China's contract law and guarantee law, the deposit return should include two situations.

A deposit is a certain amount of money paid as a guarantee before the conclusion or performance of a contract.

If the party paying the deposit fails to perform its contractual obligations, it has no right to request the return of the deposit; If the party accepting the deposit fails to perform its contractual obligations, the deposit will be returned twice.

The contract terms about "deposit" exist in daily consumption life, ranging from buying a car to buying a house to taking photos to doing business.

It is necessary to pay attention to the specific terms of the "down payment" in the contract, and the merchant should indicate the legal liability of the merchant for breach of contract in the contract. If there is no such provision in the contract, consumers can refuse to sign the contract or ask the merchants to increase their liability for breach of contract.

There is another situation. Before signing the contract, it is necessary to find out whether to pay "deposit" or "advance payment"-"deposit" has a guarantee function. If the merchant breaches the contract, the consumer can request to double the "deposit" according to law; If the payment is "advance payment", it is generally the original money returned.
