Photographer Participation
Becoming a Listed Photographer: To participate as a Photographer on the Service, the Photographer must follow Company’s then-current Photographer application process for the Service and be accepted for participation by Company, and the Photographer must follow Stripe’s application process and enter into a separate agreement with Stripe through mechanisms enabled by Company.
Company Registration Process: Company may accept or reject Photographers in its sole discretion and without liability to Participants. Once accepted, the Photographer can establish an account along with the Photographer’s profile, a description of photoshoots offered, geographic travel radius for photoshoots, some of which may be imported based on information you’ve already provided if you already have an account for other services with the Company, and upload other Photographer content using the mechanisms made available by Company. Further, depending on the version of the Service made available by Company and if you already have a Company account, a Photographer may be able to enable Google calendar synchronization through features of the Service, and by doing so, the Photographer is granting Company the right to utilize the Photographer’s access credentials to import calendar information and to publish imported information available through the Service. Photographers with a complete profile and at least one complete photoshoot type will be submitted to the listings available through the Service within a reasonable time. Company has the sole discretion to accept or reject any Photographer for the Service and shall not have any liability for rejection of a Photographer.
Stripe Registration Process: Photographers must complete the Stripe account application process to establish an account with Stripe, including acceptance of Stripe’s terms and conditions and related policies (each a “Stripe Agreement”), and must be accepted by Stripe. Photographers acknowledge and agree, and hereby provide express consent, that Stripe and Company may share and exchange data about Photographer, the Photographer’s Stripe account and all transactions and activity with respect to their Stripe account (collectively, “Activity”). Photographers acknowledge and agree that Stripe, not the Company, provides Stripe services directly to Photographers and that Company and Company Parties will not have any liability to Photographer based on or arising from any action or inaction of Stripe, including but not limited to suspension or termination of a Photographer’s Stripe account or any actions taken or not taken by Stripe with respect to the Photographer’s Stripe account and/or related data.
Verification: The Company may elect to, but is not obligated to, undertake additional identification and background verification of Photographers as permitted by applicable law. As a condition for being allowed to use the Service, Photographers agree to cooperate with any such additional verification procedures as reasonably requested by Company.
Photoshoot Pricing: Photographers may price photoshoots by the hour, with minimum and maximum hourly charges as set by Company from time to time in its sole discretion, and with one or more hours of coverage to include at least a gallery of color corrected images for the Customer, and delivery of the minimum number of digital files specified by the Company for that photoshoot. Pricing and photoshoot changes may be made by the Photographer through mechanisms made available by Company but any such changes do not apply to existing and previously executed bookings. Photographers may not offer, modify, publish or accept alternative pricing, discounts or order changes for photoshoots or digital images outside of the Service, and are limited to any photoshoot changes as enabled by the Service.
Reviews, Ratings & Rankings: Company may make available from time to time various ways for Photographers to add reviews, and may allow Customers to provide, and may itself provide, ratings and/or rankings for Photographers. To the extent Company allows Photographers to include third party ratings, reviews or rankings into the Service, Photographer represents and warrants that it has all necessary rights to allow Company to do so, and that by so doing, Company is not violating the rights of any third party. Each Photographer acknowledges and agrees that: (a) reviews posted by Customers are their opinions and not those of the Company and are not reviewed by Company, and (b) Photographers are prohibited from inhibiting or manipulating reviews, whether directly or with the assistance of third parties. For Customers, all reviews submitted must be truthful and conform to the Participant Conduct provisions set forth below. Company reserves the right to remove reviews at any time. Company Parties shall not have any liability to the Photographer for any matter related to reviews, ratings and/or rankings through or related to the Service, whether provided by the Photographer, Customers, Company or otherwise. Company reserves the right to: (i) determine, in its sole discretion, at any time and from time to time, the factors and methodologies used for ranking Photographer listings, and (ii) block, suspend or remove any Photographer’s listing on the Service and all related information, including but not limited to related reviews, in Company’s sole discretion at any time for any reason or no reason. Each Photographer acknowledges and agrees that Company Parties shall not have any liability to the Photographer for such suspension or removal or for any Photographer listing placement or ranking on the Service.
Listing Removal by Photographers: Through features enabled by the Service, Photographers can block themselves from being listed with the Service at any time provided that the Photographer does not have any booked or pending photoshoots. If the Photographer has booked photoshoots at the time they would like to delete their listing, they need to contact Company support at [email protected]. Please allow several days for listing removals. Listing reactivation is subject to the same application process as provided above.
Permissions: Photographers are responsible for obtaining permission and proper release documentation from any person whose image is posted by the Photographer through the Service, and the Photographer represents and warrants to Company that the Photographer has done so. While Company has the right to refuse or remove any material or activities on the Service in its sole discretion, Company specifically reserves the right to delete any images where Company, in its sole judgment, lacks confidence in the documentation of a release.
Scheduling & Delivery
Bookings: Photoshoot bookings may be made through the mechanisms available through the Service up to 24 hours in advance of the photoshoot. By default, Photographer accounts accept all bookings immediately and automatically if the Photographer has his/her availability for the booking time through the Service. Photographers must contact the Customer a minimum of 2 business days prior to the shoot to confirm details and discuss requirements. At that time, Photographers and Customers will review and agree the location, time, duration and details specific to the photoshoot. Photographers should use diligent efforts to arrive at a reasonable time prior to the start time for the photoshoot in order to meet the client that booked the photoshoot to cover any necessary details. Booked photoshoots cannot be transferred to other parties and must be conducted by the original Photographer (including the Photographer’s designated agents) and Customer.
Delivery of Photos: Once a photoshoot with a Customer has occurred, the Photographer must upload images from the photoshoot to the Customer’s photo gallery on Company within two (2) to fourteen (14) days dependent on the specified delivery time for the shoot type booked and mark the photoshoot as complete (“Confirmed Delivery”). Photographers acknowledge and agree that: (i) compliance with this paragraph is a condition precedent to Photographer rights to any compensation for a photoshoot arranged through the Service; and (ii) Company shall not have any liability to Photographer for any negative reviews, ratings or rankings on the Service.
Rescheduling, Relocations & Cancelations
Relocations: If it is agreed upon by the Photographer and the Customer, the location and time of the photoshoot may be changed up to 24 hours in advance. If so agreed, the Photographer will update the location through the Service, after which the Customer will be notified of the change via email and must click on the link identified in the email. If the Customer did not agree to the new location or time they can contact support at [email protected]. The new location must be within the Photographer’s designated travel radius and, if so, the Photographer cannot cancel the booking. If the location is not within the Photographer’s designated travel radius, the Photographer may cancel the booking without liability.
Reschedules: Customers may reschedule a photoshoot up to up to 24 hours in advance by directly contacting the Photographer and agree upon a new date and time that works for both parties. If the Customer has contacted the Photographer at least 24 hours prior to the photoshoot, and if a new date cannot be mutually decided upon, then the Customer can cancel the photoshoot, but amounts paid by Customer for the booking of the photoshoot are non-cancelable and non-refundable. If weather or catastrophic event outside of the Customer’s control happens within 24 hours prior to the photoshoot that would result in the inability to conduct the photoshoot as contemplated by the Photographer and Customer, then the Photographer and Customer may negotiate in good faith to reschedule and/or relocate the photoshoot, but if they cannot come to agreement, then amounts paid by Customer for the booking of the photoshoot are non-cancelable and non-refundable.
No Shows: If the Customer doesn’t show up for the booking, Customer is responsible for payment for the booking and amounts charged for the booking are non-refundable. If the Photographer does not show up for the booking, the Photographer shall pay Company an administration fee (a “no-show fee”) in the amount of $25, which may be charged to Photographer’s payment method on file with Company or debited from amounts due Photographer, and Company may take all other actions it deems appropriate, including without limitation, applying a negative rating or review, blocking Photographer’s published availability, or suspending or terminating Photographer’s access to the Service, in each case without liability to the Photographer.

Dispute Resolution By Binding Arbitration: PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY AS IT AFFECTS PARTICIPANT’S RIGHTS.
This Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration section is referred to in this Terms of Service as the “Arbitration Agreement.”
If Participant has a dispute regarding this Agreement, Participant must first provide us with written notice of the dispute via mail or overnight courier to Company’s address noted below, with such notice to include Participant’s name and contact information, a written explanation of the claim including all legal claims Participant intends to assert and each set of facts which support each of such claims, and the relief Participant is requesting. Participant agrees that if any of Participant’s claims are omitted from that notice, Participant forever waives those claims and covenant not to assert them in any action or proceeding related to this Agreement. We will attempt to resolve the dispute with Participant without further court action or arbitration.
All disputes, whether based on circumstances in the past or future, which cannot be resolved as provided above which arise out of or relate to this Agreement (including but not limited to this “Dispute Resolution” Section) shall be resolved by binding arbitration before a sole arbitrator, except that Participant may assert claims in small claims court if Participant’s claims qualify and Company may pursue a collection action against Participant in court. The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply. Arbitration does not involve a court or a judge; instead the arbitrator follows these Terms and applicable law and awards relief accordingly.
Participant or Company may initiate arbitration through JAMS and the JAMS JA streamlined arbitration rules and procedures then in force (see www.jamsadr.com for additional information), or may pursue a dispute in court in San Mateo County, California, which Participant hereby consent to be the exclusive jurisdiction and venue for such dispute, and not by arbitration if the dispute qualifies for small claims court or Participant opt out of arbitration, as provided below. The arbitration shall be commenced as an individual arbitration, and not in a class, representative, consolidated or action involving multiple plaintiffs. Participant shall not join or consolidate claims or arbitrate or otherwise participate in any claim as a class representative, class member or in a private attorney general capacity. Any arbitration will be confidential. Participant or Company may initiate arbitration in either San Mateo County, California, or the federal judicial district where Participant resides. The arbitrator’s decision shall be in writing and shall comply with all terms and conditions in the then current Terms of Service. The decision and award rendered shall be final and binding on both parties. The parties acknowledge and agree that these Terms and any award rendered pursuant hereto shall be governed by the UN Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision, or award by the arbitrator, will be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties.
PARTICIPANT MAY OPT OUT OF ARBITRATION BY PROVIDING WRITTEN NOTICE TO COMPANY AT COMPANY’S ADDRESS NOTED BELOW, TO THE ATTENTION OF “CLASS OPT OUT COORDINATOR” TO BE RECEIVED NO LATER THAN THIRTY (30) CALENDAR DAYS FROM THE DATE OF PARTICIPANT’S ORIGINAL ACCEPTANCE OF THE COMPANY TOS WITH THIS PROVISION INCLUDED. IF PARTICIPANT DO NOT SEND NOTICE AS REQUIRED IN THE FOREGOING SENTENCE, PARTICIPANT WILL NOT HAVE OPTED OUT OF ARBITRATION. IF PARTICIPANT OPTS OUT OF ARBITRATION AS PROVIDED ABOVE, THE OTHER PROVISIONS OF THESE TERMS SHALL STILL APPLY.
Use of the Service is not authorized in any jurisdiction that does not give effect to all provisions of these Terms, including without limitation, this section.
General
This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between Participant and Company and governs Participant’s use of the Service, superseding any prior agreements between Participant and Company with respect to the Service. This Agreement will be governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to its conflict of law provisions. With respect to any disputes or claims not subject to arbitration, as set forth above, Participant and Company agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in or for San Mateo County, California. The failure of Company to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of this Agreement is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of this Agreement remain in full force and effect. Participant agrees that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Service or this Agreement must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred. A printed version of this agreement and of any notice given in electronic form will be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to this agreement to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form. Participant may not assign this Agreement without the prior written consent of Company, but Company may assign or transfer this Agreement in whole or in part, without restriction. Company Parties shall not have any liability to Participant for any or be deemed to be in default, for any delay or failure to perform any act under this Agreement resulting, directly or indirectly, from acts of God, civil or military authority, acts of public enemy, terrorism, war, accidents, fires, explosions, earthquake, flood, failure of transportation, strikes or other work stoppages, or any other cause beyond its reasonable control. The section titles in this Agreement are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. Notices to Participant may be made via either email or regular mail.
