Have you ever had an unsatisfied client, or lost data on your hard drive or SD card? For photographers, one small mistake can lead to major financial or legal consequences. That’s where PPA’s Indemnification Trust comes in.

Think of it as malpractice protection for your photography business—a unique benefit included with every active Full, Canadian, or PPA Limited memberships.

When something goes wrong—whether it’s data loss, equipment malfunction, mistakes, or an unhappy client—the Trust steps in to help.

Here’s what it covers:

• Guidance through the process of filing a claim
• Paid data recovery services if needed
• Negotiation and payment of any settlement
• Legal prep and representation if your case goes to court
• Local counsel appointed at the Trust’s expense
• Judgments paid for most types of damages awarded to your client

In other words, the Indemnification Trust protects you when things go sideways—all for just a small deductible. Because it’s not insurance, your membership rates won’t increase if you file a claim. The Trust is administered by Meadows, Macie & Morris, one of the world’s most experienced firms when it comes to helping professional photographers.
