Terms & Conditions

Effective Date: February 25, 2026

Welcome to Stop Time Photography. By accessing our website, creating an account, viewing galleries, pre-registering, or placing an order, you agree to the following Terms & Conditions. Please read them carefully.

1. Use of Website and Galleries

Our website and online galleries are provided for personal viewing and purchasing of photographs. Gallery access is secured through passcodes and is intended only for authorized users.

You agree not to misuse the website, attempt to gain unauthorized access to galleries, share passcodes with unauthorized individuals, or interfere with the normal operation of the site.

2. Image Viewing, Copying, and Use

All photographs, images, and content displayed on our website and in online galleries are the property of Stop Time Photography and are protected by copyright law.

Images may not be:

• Screenshotted
• Downloaded
• Copied
• Altered
• Shared

without purchasing the appropriate digital rights or receiving written permission from Stop Time Photography.

Our website utilizes features intended to deter unauthorized copying of images. Any attempt to bypass these protections is prohibited.

3. Orders, Payment, and Fulfillment

• All orders are subject to acceptance and availability.
• Payments are processed securely through Square.
• Production timelines may vary depending on product type, order volume, and season.
• Most orders are fulfilled in-house. Specialty products such as banners, plaques, big heads, and other large-format items may be produced by professional third-party labs.
• Once an order has entered production, it cannot be modified.

4. Custom Products and Proofing

Photography products are custom-made. Customers are responsible for reviewing image selections, cropping, product choices, and order details before completing checkout.

Due to differences in monitor calibration and print processes, minor variations in color or cropping may occur and do not constitute product defects.

5. Refunds, Reprints, and Returns

Because photography products are custom-made:

• All sales are final once an order is placed.
• Refunds may be processed only if the entire package is returned in its original condition and with prior authorization from Stop Time Photography.

Refunds are not provided for reasons such as:

• Personal preference
• Change of mind
• Ordering the wrong image or product
• Failure to review selections before checkout

Stop Time Photography will gladly assist with the following situations:

Damaged Items
If a product arrives damaged, please contact us within a reasonable time of delivery and provide photos of the damage. A replacement may be issued.

Production Errors
If your order contains a verified printing or fulfillment error (such as an incorrect image or defective print), we will offer a reprint or replacement.

Shipping Issues
Stop Time Photography is not responsible for delays caused by shipping carriers, but we will assist in filing claims when applicable.

All refund, reprint, or replacement decisions are made at the discretion of Stop Time Photography after verifying the issue.

6. Digital Products

Digital image purchases grant a personal-use license only unless otherwise specified in writing.

Digital images may not be resold, transferred, or used for commercial purposes without prior written permission from Stop Time Photography.

Because digital products cannot be returned once delivered, all digital purchases are final and non-refundable.

7. SMS / Text Message Communications

By providing your mobile phone number when creating an account, pre-registering, or placing an order, you consent to receive text messages from Stop Time Photography related to your photography services.

These messages may include:

• Order confirmations
• Order updates
• Gallery access notifications
• Customer service communications
• Event or order-related information including sales

Message frequency varies depending on your interaction with our services. Standard message and data rates may apply according to your mobile carrier.

You may opt out of text messaging at any time by replying STOP to any message. For assistance, reply HELP or contact mary@stoptimephotography.com

Stop Time Photography does not sell or share phone numbers with third parties for marketing purposes.

8. Limitation of Liability

Stop Time Photography is not responsible for:

• Delays caused by schools, event schedules, shipping carriers, or circumstances beyond our control
• Technical issues related to third-party platforms, including gallery hosting services
• Loss of access resulting from shared passcodes or unauthorized account access

Our liability, if any, is limited to the amount paid for the product or service in question.
