YOU ARE ENTERING INTO A CONTRACT WITH THE COMPANY. PLEASE READ THIS AGREEMENT IN ITS ENTIRETY.

This Agreement is a contract between you, as the Client or as agent for the Client, and the Company. This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding between the Company and the Client and supersedes all prior and simultaneous contracts or agreements between the parties.

RESERVATION, FEES, AND PRICING

SERVICE FEE: The fee for the Company’s services (the "Service Fee") is determined based on the number of headshots purchased by the Client. The Service Fee does not include any applicable state sales tax. Services will not be rendered until the Service Fee is paid in full, unless otherwise agreed to in accommodating NET payment terms.

PRICING: Headshots are sold at a starting price of $30 each. The price may decrease based on volume, with specifics detailed in the quote provided to the Client.

STUDIO ACCESS: The price of the headshots encompasses access to the Studio platform. Inactivity exceeding 6 months on the Studio may lead to the Company contacting the Client to discuss potential cancellation of their account or future plans for utilization.

NO ANNUAL COMMITMENTS: The Company does not require annual commitments, renewals, event passes, or terms of any specific length for access to the Studio.

PRICING CHANGES: The Company reserves the right to modify its pricing at any time. Services or merchandise not included in this Agreement will be charged based on prevailing prices at the time of the order.

RESERVATION & CANCELLATION: A signed Quote and the Service Fee are required for the Company to provide the Client with a Studio. If the Client wishes to cancel their order or if there is a breach of this Agreement by the Client, this Agreement shall be terminated; the Company shall be entitled to keep the Service Fee and the Client agrees that it shall have no recourse to recover the Service Fee.

LIQUIDATED DAMAGES: Following receipt of the Service Fee, the Company agrees to build a Studio for the client. If the Client cancels the Studio or fails to pay the remaining portion of the Service Fee when due, the Company may have expended time and resources for the Client’s Studio that could have been put towards other products or services. As a result, the Client and Company agree that (1) it will be difficult to estimate the total amount of damages to the Company in the event that the Client breaches this Agreement, including but not limited to a failure by the Client to pay the Service Fee, and (2) that the amount of the Service Fee is the best estimate of the damages to the Company if the Client were to breach this Agreement. As a result, the Company shall be entitled to liquidated damages in the amount of the Service Fee (and entitled to keep the non-refundable Deposit) in event of a breach of this Agreement by the Client. Company is not obligated to seek Liquidated Damages and does not waive its right to pursue any other damages.
