II — ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS
+
These Terms & Conditions constitute a legally binding agreement between the Client and the Company. Acceptance occurs through any of the following actions: (a) submitting a quote through the Company's website; (b) responding to the Company's booking confirmation; (c) making any payment or deposit; (d) attending a scheduled Session; (e) communicating instructions, preferences, or creative direction to the Company; (f) receiving Deliverables; or (g) any other conduct that reasonably indicates acceptance. No signature is required for these terms to be enforceable. The Client's continued engagement with the Company after being made aware of these terms constitutes irrevocable acceptance. If the Client does not agree to these terms, the Client must not engage the Company's services and must notify the Company in writing prior to any Session or payment.
III — NATURE OF SERVICES & SUBJECTIVE ART
+
The Company is a developing creative studio. The Company's principal photographer and creative director is in the early stages of their professional career. The Client acknowledges and accepts that: (a) photography and visual content creation are inherently subjective art forms; (b) the Company does not guarantee perfection, technical flawlessness, or results identical to any reference, sample, or prior work; (c) minor technical imperfections including but not limited to slight focus variations, exposure differences, color cast, grain, lens distortion, or compositional choices are inherent to the photographic process and do not constitute defective work; (d) the Company's pricing is intentionally positioned below market rate to reflect the Company's current stage of growth and to provide accessible creative services; (e) the quality of Deliverables corresponds proportionally to the budget committed by the Client — lower budgets yield fewer resources, less time, and proportionally less refinement; (f) the Company will exercise its best professional judgment and creative ability in producing all Deliverables; and (g) "best" is defined as the Company's honest, good-faith creative effort within the scope, time, and resources allocated to the engagement. The Client further acknowledges that just as the Company will not retroactively charge more if Deliverables exceed expectations, the Client accepts that Deliverables reflecting honest effort within the agreed scope are satisfactory, even if they contain minor imperfections or differ from the Client's subjective expectations. This reciprocal understanding is fundamental to the pricing structure and the engagement.
The Company provides camera photography (people, product, scene), AI-generated content (people, product, scene), and hybrid camera-plus-AI production services. All services are subject to availability and at the Company's sole discretion. The Company reserves the right to decline any engagement for any reason without explanation. The scope of each engagement is determined exclusively by the budget, service type, and package selected by the Client through the Company's booking platform. Any work requested beyond the agreed scope — including additional photos, extended time, additional locations, style changes, concept changes, or any other modification — constitutes additional services and will be quoted and billed separately. The Client may not expand the scope of an engagement unilaterally during or after a Session. Verbal requests made during a Session do not modify the agreed scope unless confirmed in writing by the Company.
V — BOOKING & CONFIRMATION
+
A booking is not confirmed until the Company has received the Client's quote submission and responded with written confirmation via email or text message. The generation of a quote through the Company's website does not constitute a binding agreement or guarantee of availability. The Company will respond to all quote submissions within twenty-four (24) hours during business days. The Company reserves the right to modify pricing, availability, terms, and conditions at any time prior to written confirmation. Once the Company issues written confirmation, the engagement is binding and subject to the cancellation terms herein. The Client is responsible for verifying all details in the confirmation including date, time, location, service type, deliverables, and pricing before the Session.
All pricing is determined by the Company's proprietary pricing engine based on service type, budget input, and selected package or add-ons. Camera services: approximately $22 per edited photo. AI services: approximately $15 per AI-generated image. Hybrid services: approximately $18 per image. Package pricing is fixed as listed. All prices are in United States Dollars (USD). Payment is due in full prior to the Session or delivery of AI/Hybrid content unless otherwise agreed in writing. The Company accepts payment methods communicated upon confirmation. Late payment incurs a fee of 5% of the total amount per week overdue. The Company reserves the right to withhold Deliverables until payment is received in full. Chargebacks, payment reversals, or disputed payments without prior written notice to the Company constitute a material breach of these terms and may result in legal action, collections, and forfeiture of all Deliverables and licenses granted herein.
VII — CANCELLATION & REFUNDS
+
No refunds will be issued once a booking has been confirmed in writing, regardless of circumstances, satisfaction, or outcome. This is a firm, non-negotiable policy. The Client may reschedule one (1) time with a minimum of forty-eight (48) hours advance written notice prior to the scheduled Session. No-shows — defined as failure to appear at the scheduled time and location without prior written notice — forfeit the full session value with no credit, reschedule, or refund. If the Client arrives more than thirty (30) minutes late without prior notice, the Company may treat the engagement as a no-show. If the Client cancels with less than forty-eight (48) hours notice, the full session value is forfeited. If the Company must cancel due to circumstances within its control, the Client will receive a full reschedule or credit at the Company's discretion — not a refund. The Client expressly waives any right to demand a monetary refund under any circumstances once booking is confirmed.
VIII — REVISIONS & EXPECTATIONS
+
A "revision" is defined as one (1) round of requested modifications to the Deliverables after initial delivery. A revision round may include reasonable adjustments to: color grading, exposure, cropping, retouching intensity, or minor compositional adjustments within the scope of the original creative direction. A revision does NOT include: re-shooting; complete re-edits; fundamental style or concept changes; requests contradicting the original creative direction; changes to wardrobe, location, or subject matter after the fact; removal of inherent photographic characteristics (depth of field, motion blur, natural grain); or requests that effectively constitute new work. Revision rounds by budget: under $50 = 0 rounds; $50–$149 = 1 round; $150–$399 = 2 rounds; $400+ = 3 rounds. Package clients receive rounds as specified. Additional rounds: $100 each. The revision process exists specifically to bridge the gap between the Company's creative interpretation and the Client's expectations within reasonable scope. Revisions are not a mechanism for the Client to direct the Company to produce entirely different work from what was originally delivered. If the Client's revision requests fall outside the scope defined above, the Company will notify the Client and quote additional fees. Unused revision rounds do not carry over, transfer, or have monetary value.
IX — DELIVERY & TIMELINE
+
Standard delivery: 5–10 business days from the Session date. Rush delivery: 48 hours ($300 add-on). Sneak peeks (2–5 preview images): 24–48 hours on Signature and Flagship packages. The Company is not liable for delays caused by third-party services, internet disruption, hardware failure, illness, emergency, or circumstances beyond reasonable control. Delivery timelines are estimates, not guarantees. The Client agrees that delayed delivery does not entitle the Client to a refund, discount, or additional deliverables. All Deliverables are delivered digitally via the Company's preferred delivery method. The Company is not responsible for the Client's inability to access, download, or store delivered files.
X — INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY & USAGE
+
The Company retains full copyright, ownership, and all intellectual property rights to all images, content, and Deliverables produced during any engagement, in perpetuity. The Client receives a non-exclusive, non-transferable, perpetual license to use Deliverables for personal and commercial purposes. This license does not include the right to: sublicense, resell, or distribute Deliverables as stock photography or digital assets; use Deliverables in any manner that misrepresents authorship; alter Deliverables and claim them as original work; or use Deliverables in any context that is illegal, defamatory, or harmful. The Company reserves the unrestricted right to use all Deliverables for portfolio, marketing, social media, competitions, publications, and promotional purposes unless the Client requests exclusion in writing prior to the Session. Such requests must be specific and the Company will confirm in writing whether it can accommodate. Raw files remain the exclusive property of the Company and are not included in standard deliverables. Raw file purchase ($250 add-on) grants the Client a license to the raw files but does not transfer copyright. AI-generated content: the Company makes no warranty regarding the exclusivity, uniqueness, or originality of AI-generated imagery, as AI tools may produce similar results for different users.
XI — LIABILITY & INDEMNIFICATION
+
THE COMPANY'S TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY AND ALL CLAIMS ARISING FROM SERVICES RENDERED SHALL NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID BY THE CLIENT FOR THE SPECIFIC ENGAGEMENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE COMPANY BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOST PROFITS, LOST OPPORTUNITIES, EMOTIONAL DISTRESS, REPUTATIONAL HARM, OR ANY DAMAGES ARISING FROM THE CLIENT'S USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE DELIVERABLES. The Client agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Company, its members, agents, contractors, and affiliates from and against any and all claims, losses, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from: the Client's use of the Deliverables; the Client's breach of these terms; claims by third parties related to the Client's use of the Deliverables; or any representation made by the Client regarding the Deliverables. This indemnification survives termination of the engagement.
For engagements requiring travel, the Client bears all travel expenses including: airfare (Business or First Class for international), hotel (minimum 4-star), ground transportation, meals, per diem at Company's standard rates, and any incidental costs. Travel estimates provided during booking are estimates only and may increase based on actual costs. The Client is responsible for actual costs regardless of estimates. Minimum 3–4 weeks advance booking for travel. Travel expenses are non-refundable once booked, regardless of cancellation or rescheduling of the Session. The Company is not liable for travel delays, cancellations, or disruptions caused by airlines, weather, government action, or other circumstances beyond its control.
Neither party shall be liable for failure to perform obligations due to circumstances beyond reasonable control including but not limited to: severe weather, natural disasters, pandemics, epidemics, government orders, civil unrest, war, terrorism, power outages, internet outages, equipment failure, illness, injury, family emergency, or any other event that a reasonable person would consider beyond their control. In such events, the affected party shall notify the other party as soon as practicable, and the parties shall work in good faith to reschedule or modify the engagement.
XIV — CONFIDENTIALITY & PRIVACY
+
Both parties agree to maintain confidentiality of proprietary or sensitive information. The Company will not share Client personal information with third parties except: as required by law; as necessary to fulfill services (e.g., lab processing, printing); or with the Client's express written consent. Survey responses collected through the Company's website are used for internal creative purposes and marketing analytics only. The Company may collect and store the Client's name, email, phone number, and booking preferences for business operations. The Client may request deletion of their personal data by contacting the Company in writing.
XV — GOVERNING LAW & DISPUTES
+
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Michigan. Any disputes shall first be addressed through good-faith negotiation for a period of thirty (30) days. If unresolved, disputes shall be submitted to binding arbitration in Wayne County, Michigan, under the American Arbitration Association rules. The prevailing party is entitled to recover reasonable attorneys' fees and costs. The Client waives any right to participate in class action lawsuits against the Company. These terms constitute the entire agreement and supersede all prior agreements, representations, and understandings. If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full effect. The Company reserves the right to modify these terms at any time. The most current version is available on the Company's website. Continued engagement after modifications constitutes acceptance.
