Our Service Agreement

Our Service Agreement

GTA Virtual Tours is committed to providing high quality services & customer support in a timely & friendly manner. In order to ensure that we can continue doing so, we need to be confident that our Clients understand and agree to our company’s service agreement. By placing an order with GTA Vitual Tours, you, the property owner or real estate agent (Client), agree to the following terms and conditions.

Scheduling Appointments


GTA Vitual Tours makes appointments based on availability. Often Tours can be scheduled for the following day. However we make no guarantee of next day availability. At all times we try to accommodate our clients at our next earliest availability.

Our photographer will arrive at the property on time and the property should be ready for the photo shoot or other on-site service. If our photographer arrives at the property and does not have access to provide service (whether via lock-box or agent/owner) within a reasonable time or if the property is not ready, our photographer may not provide service and you will need to reschedule a new appointment with GTA Vitual Tours. Such circumstances are considered a cancellation and a $50 CAD fee will be applied.

If you need to reschedule an appointment for on-site services, you must notify GTA Vitual Tours at least 24 hours before the pre-scheduled on-site service time. We will reschedule the appointment to proceed at our next availability.


Cancellation/Postponement Policy


Cancellations & postponements must be received no later than 24 hours prior to the scheduled on-site service appointment via phone/email; cancelling/postponement within 24 hours of a booked appointment is subject to Cancellation Fee of $50.

Client can NOT cancel the order if the on-site service has been done.

The photograph resolution for all packages will be maximum of 2400 x 1600 pixels and minimum of 1000 x 600 pixels. The Panorama(s) will have a height of approximately 1000 pixels and a width maximum of 5,000 pixels. The photograph(s) and the Panorama(s) will be in the JPEG format (.JPG or.JPEG file extension). Photograph and panorama choices will be based on the discretion of our photographer if client does not specify the specific shoot locations before or during the appointment.
