Terms of Service.

Your agreement

These terms are between you and Eth3r Systems LLC d/b/a eth3r Studio. By using this website, submitting a form, or booking with us, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site. You should be at least 18 and able to enter a contract.

For any project you book, your signed services agreement is the document that controls. If anything on this page differs from your signed agreement, the signed agreement wins for that project. These website terms cover your use of the site and give a plain-language summary of how we work.

Working together

eth3r Studio creates commercial photography for restaurants, gyms, brands, and the people behind them. When you book with us, we agree the scope, deliverables, pricing, and timeline for your project up front and put it in writing, so we are both working from the same plan.

We treat every booking as the start of a long relationship. If something about your project changes along the way, talk to us. We would rather adjust the plan with you than hold you to a detail that no longer fits.

Booking and deposit

A booking is confirmed with a non-refundable Retainer equal to 30 percent of the project total, due when you sign. The Retainer reserves your shoot date and the time we set aside to prepare for it, and is credited toward your project.

If you would like to hold a date before the contract is finalized, a 100 dollar reservation hold secures it for you. That hold is credited toward your project once you book.

Delivery and turnaround

Your finished photos arrive through a private gallery link that you can view, download, and share. We aim to get them to you quickly while giving each image the care it deserves:

• Under 5 photos: same day to 2 business days
• 5 to 20 photos: within one week
• 20 to 50 photos: within two weeks
• 50 or more photos: a timeline we agree together for the project

All shoots are on location, so we come to your restaurant, gym, studio, or space. If a project involves travel beyond the local area, we quote any costs with you in advance.

Editing and revisions

Every image is color corrected and professionally edited, with thoughtful retouching included as part of the work. If you have a particular look in mind, tell us during planning and we will shape the edit around it.

Each photo includes up to three rounds of revisions based on your feedback, and we include one retake session if a shoot does not meet the scope we agreed. Anything beyond that we are happy to take on, quoted separately so you always know the cost before we begin.

Usage rights

Once your payment is complete, you receive a broad commercial license to use your final images across your menus, website, ordering platforms, campaigns, and social channels. eth3r Studio keeps the copyright in the images, and the exact scope of your license is set out in your signed agreement.

We may showcase finished work in our own portfolio and marketing, unless we agree exclusivity in writing. If you would prefer your images stay private, just let us know and we will put that in your contract.

Changes and cancellation

Plans shift, and we understand that. If you need to move a shoot date, reach out as early as you can and we will do our best to find a new one that works.

If you cancel after booking, the fee depends on timing: 50 percent of the project total more than 7 days before the shoot, 75 percent within 7 days, and 100 percent within 48 hours. Any costs already spent preparing for your shoot are also due. These amounts are agreed liquidated damages and not a penalty; your Retainer is credited toward the fee, not added on top. We would always rather reschedule than part ways, so talk to us first.

Text messages

If you give us your mobile number and opt in, we send you texts about your project, such as your gallery link and delivery or account updates. You can opt in when you book in person, over the phone, or through the form at eth3r.studio/contact.

Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP at any time to opt out, or HELP for help. Consent to receive texts is never a condition of any purchase.

Your mobile information is handled under our Privacy Policy and is never sold or shared with third parties for their own promotional or marketing use.

Using this website

Everything on this site, including the design, the text, and all photographs and video in our portfolio, is owned by or licensed to Eth3r Systems LLC d/b/a eth3r Studio and protected by copyright, except for third-party marks and any client-provided materials. Viewing the site does not give you any right to download, copy, reproduce, repost, frame, or reuse our images. If you would like to use any of our work, ask us first.

Please use the site fairly: no scraping, bots, bulk downloading, or automated collection, and nothing that tries to break, overload, or misuse the site or its forms. We sometimes link to other sites we do not control, and we are not responsible for their content.

Disclaimers and liability

The website is provided as is and as available. We work to keep it accurate and online, but we do not warrant that it will always be error-free or uninterrupted, and we make no guarantee about specific business results from our work.

To the fullest extent the law allows, eth3r Studio is not liable for indirect or consequential losses arising from your use of this website, and our total liability connected with the website is limited to one hundred dollars. This limit does not apply to fraud, willful misconduct, gross negligence, or anything that cannot be limited by law. This limit is about the website itself. Our responsibilities for a booked project are governed by your signed services agreement, which carries its own terms. You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold us harmless from any third-party claim caused by your misuse of the site or your breach of these terms.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute about this website that we cannot resolve by talking it through will be handled in the state or superior courts of Fulton, Gwinnett, or DeKalb County, Georgia, or the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, Atlanta Division, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts. Disputes about a booked project follow the dispute-resolution terms in your signed agreement.

The fine print

We may update these terms from time to time. The current version always lives here with its date, and continuing to use the site means you accept the latest version. If any part of these terms cannot be enforced, the rest still applies. Together with our Privacy Policy, and for booked projects your signed agreement, these terms are the whole understanding between us about this website.

Privacy and contact

How we handle the information you share with us is set out in our Privacy Policy. If anything here is unclear, or you simply want to talk it through, email [email protected]. We are glad to help.
