TERMS & CONDITIONS

The Primo Studio – Real Estate Media Services

By booking, ordering, purchasing, or using services provided by The Primo Studio, the person or business placing the order (“Client”) agrees to the following Terms & Conditions.

1. Appointment Time & Confirmation

  • The appointment time selected during online booking is a preferred/requested time and is not guaranteed.

  • The Primo Studio will make every reasonable effort to accommodate the Client’s preferred time.

  • The final appointment time is subject to photographer availability and must be confirmed by the photographer/The Primo Studio.

  • Scheduling may occasionally need to be adjusted because of travel time, previous appointments, weather, property access, or other circumstances.

2. Property Must Be Photo-Ready

  • The property must be clean, staged, accessible, and completely photo-ready before the photographer arrives.

  • This includes removing unnecessary clutter, personal items, trash, toiletries, vehicles where appropriate, and securing pets.

  • Lights should be operational and areas that are to be photographed must be accessible.

  • The photographer is not responsible for cleaning, staging, moving furniture, making beds, organizing rooms, or preparing the property.

  • The property will generally be photographed as it appears when the photographer arrives.

  • If the property is not ready and significant delays occur, the photographer may photograph the property as-is, shorten the session, or require the appointment to be rescheduled.

3. Property Access

  • The Client is responsible for ensuring access to the property at the confirmed appointment time.

  • Lockbox codes, gate instructions, building access, parking instructions, contact information, and other necessary access details should be provided before the appointment.

  • The Client is responsible for obtaining permission from the property owner, tenant, property manager, HOA, building management, or any other necessary party before the shoot.

  • If the photographer cannot access the property or the shoot cannot proceed because access was not properly arranged, it may be treated as a same-day cancellation/rescheduling.

4. Cancellation & Rescheduling

  • Cancellations or rescheduling should be requested at least one day before the scheduled appointment.

  • A $75 fee applies to any same-day cancellation or same-day rescheduling.

  • Failure to provide property access at the scheduled appointment may also be treated as a same-day cancellation.

  • If The Primo Studio must reschedule because of circumstances within its control, no cancellation or rescheduling fee will be charged.

  • Any applicable refund will be handled in accordance with our separate Refund Policy.

5. Drone Photography & Video

  • Drone photography and video are subject to FAA regulations, airspace restrictions, local regulations, temporary flight restrictions, property restrictions, weather conditions, visibility, safety conditions, and required authorizations.

  • Purchasing a package containing drone media does not guarantee that a drone can legally or safely be flown at every property.

  • The remote pilot/photographer has final authority to determine whether a drone operation can be safely and legally performed.

  • Drone services may be modified, postponed, substituted, or rescheduled when flight conditions or regulations prevent safe and legal operation.

6. Weather Conditions

  • Exterior photography, drone operations, twilight photography, and other outdoor services depend on weather and environmental conditions.

  • Rain, thunderstorms, strong winds, poor visibility, severe weather, unsafe conditions, or other circumstances may require modification or rescheduling of affected services.

  • The Primo Studio is not responsible for naturally occurring conditions including cloudy skies, seasonal landscaping, construction, traffic, neighboring properties, water conditions, or other environmental elements beyond our reasonable control.

8. Editing & Creative Style

  • Delivered photographs and videos will be professionally edited according to The Primo Studio’s standard style and professional judgment.

  • The Primo Studio retains reasonable creative discretion regarding image selection, exposure, color, cropping, composition, perspective correction, video sequencing, music, transitions, and overall presentation.

  • Corrections resulting from editing mistakes will be addressed when reasonably possible.

  • Extensive revisions, alternative video edits, music changes, removal of objects, virtual staging, significant retouching, or requests outside the original scope of the purchased service may require an additional fee.

  • A reshoot requested because the property was not properly prepared, staged, accessible, or ready during the original appointment may require a new booking or additional charge.

11. Copyright & Ownership

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, all photographs, video footage, drone footage, edited videos, and other original creative media produced by The Primo Studio remain copyrighted property of The Primo Studio.

Payment for services provides the Client with a license to use the delivered media as described below. It does not transfer copyright ownership to the Client.

The Primo Studio is not responsible for disputes arising because the Client failed to obtain necessary property-owner, tenant, building, HOA, or other permissions.

20. Safety

This may include unsafe structures, aggressive or unsecured animals, hazardous materials, threatening individuals, active construction hazards, severe weather, or other conditions that could reasonably create a risk to people or equipment.

22. Refunds

Refund eligibility is governed by The Primo Studio’s separate Refund Policy.

Completed photography, video, editing, digital media, and other services that have already been substantially performed generally cannot be returned in the same manner as physical products.

Nothing in these Terms limits any rights or remedies that cannot legally be waived under applicable law.

23. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, The Primo Studio will not be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or lost-profit damages arising from the services.

If media is lost, damaged, corrupted, or cannot be delivered because of equipment failure, file corruption, technical malfunction, or another unforeseen event, The Primo Studio will make reasonable efforts to resolve the issue, which may include a reshoot, replacement service, refund, or credit as appropriate.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, The Primo Studio’s total liability arising from a particular order will not exceed the amount actually paid by the Client for the affected service.

Nothing in this section excludes liability that cannot legally be excluded or limited.
