TERMS OF SERVICE

My goal as Love's Apprentice is your complete satisfaction with your purchase.

In the case of camera failure, inclement weather, or any other unforeseen incident that prevents me from shooting on a scheduled date, the client will get a full refund of their deposit if applicable. No refund will be given under any circumstances if you fail to attend the activity on the day and at the time confirmed when the booking was made.

Due to the nature of digital photography and the fact that photographs, once sent, cannot be returned, I enforce a NO REFUNDS POLICY. Once a transaction has been completed (i.e., the buyer selected and paid for the photo and then I sent the buyer the correct photograph) it is then considered non-refundable. If a buyer has selected and purchased an incorrect photo, he/she must notify me, before receiving the "incorrect" photograph. Refunds will NOT be given due to "not liking a photo," selecting an incorrect photo after the buyer has already received the photograph, or any other reason, If a mistaken photo is sent to the buyer, as documented on the invoice, I will send the correct photo to the buyer free of charge.

COPPA (Children Online Privacy Protection Act)
When it comes to the collection of personal information from children under 13, the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in control.

I do not specifically market to children under 13.

Fair Information Practices
The Fair Information Practices Principles form the backbone of privacy law in the United States and the concepts they include have played a significant role in the development of data protection laws around the globe.

In order to be in line with Fair Information Practices I will take the following responsive action, should a data breach occur:

I will notify the users via email within 7 business days.

I also agree to the Individual Redress Principle, which requires that individuals have a right to pursue legally enforceable rights against data collectors and processors who fail to adhere to the law. This principle requires not only that individuals have enforceable rights against data users, but also that individuals have recourse to courts or government agencies to investigate and/or prosecute non-compliance by data processors.
