Terms of Use

01. Ownership & copyright

Unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing, photographs, videos, edits, presets, and other creative materials displayed or delivered by ShotByNeik remain the intellectual property of their respective copyright owners. Buying a digital file does not transfer copyright.

02. Website previews, screenshots & recordings

Gallery previews are for on-site viewing and evaluation only. Without prior written authorization from ShotByNeik, you may not take screenshots, make screen recordings, photograph or otherwise capture previews, or download, copy, repost, share, distribute, sell, or commercially exploit previews, except where permitted by law. You may not remove, conceal, crop out, or alter watermarks or copyright notices.

These restrictions apply to website previews. Purchase a licensed download or obtain written permission before using an image. Purchased files remain subject to the applicable license, including the personal-use permissions in Section 03. To request permission, contact shotbyneik@gmail.com.

03. Personal-use photo licenses

Unless the listing or a separate written agreement says otherwise, purchasing a photograph grants the buyer a non-exclusive, non-transferable license for personal, non-commercial use. Personal social-media posting is permitted with reasonable credit to ShotByNeik when practical. You may crop or resize for personal display, but may not sell, sublicense, distribute the downloadable file, create merchandise for sale, or use the image in advertising, sponsorships, business promotions, or other commercial projects.

04. Video, commercial & editorial licensing

Video deliverables, commissioned sessions, business usage, publications, advertising, promotional campaigns, and commercial licenses are governed by the applicable written quote, contract, or separately agreed license. Please request permission before using any media commercially. A license to use media does not grant rights in third-party trademarks, music, locations, or an individual’s likeness.

05. Digital products & downloads

Digital images, wallpapers, and presets are delivered electronically when the relevant store features are available. Product descriptions will specify included files and formats. You are responsible for checking compatibility and safely backing up downloads. Digital files may not be shared or resold.

06. Payments, refunds & problems

Prices and any applicable charges will be disclosed before payment. Because digital files cannot generally be returned after access or delivery, completed digital purchases are ordinarily non-refundable, except where required by law or where a file is defective, incorrect, or cannot be supplied. Contact us for help with duplicate charges, failed downloads, or delivery issues. Nothing here limits non-waivable consumer rights.

07. Bookings, deposits & cancellations

Photography and videography bookings, deposits, cancellation timelines, rescheduling, turnaround, and deliverables are governed by the signed booking agreement for that project. In the event of a conflict, the signed project agreement controls for that booking.

08. Portfolio display & privacy

We may display our own work as examples of services, subject to applicable law, permissions, and any written confidentiality or usage restrictions. If you have a concern about an image featuring you, contact us with the gallery and image identifier so we can review the request. Appearing in a photo does not automatically grant the right to use another person’s likeness commercially.

09. Acceptable use

Do not attempt to bypass access controls, scrape or bulk-download protected galleries, impersonate other customers, interfere with the site, or use media in unlawful or misleading ways.

10. Availability & responsibility

We work to keep listings and files accurate, but website access and digital services may be interrupted. To the extent permitted by law, the website is provided without guarantees of uninterrupted availability. Nothing in these Terms excludes rights or remedies that cannot lawfully be excluded.

11. Changes & contact

We may update these Terms prospectively by posting a revised version and effective date. Terms accepted for a completed purchase remain subject to the agreement applicable at the time of that purchase, except as required by law. Questions, licensing requests, and support: shotbyneik@gmail.com.
