Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the website located at kep1photo.com (the "Site") and any photography, videography, or related services (the "Services") provided by KEP1 Photo by KSPORT, Inc. ("KEP1 Photo," "we," "us," or "our"), a New Jersey corporation. By accessing the Site or booking a Service, you agree to these Terms.

1. Bookings, Deposits & Cancellations

Estimates generated on the Site are not contracts. A booking is confirmed only when a signed agreement is delivered and a non-refundable retainer of twenty-five percent (25%) of the estimated subtotal is received. The remaining balance is due on or before the day of the event unless otherwise agreed in writing.

• Cancellations 30+ days before the event: retainer is retained; no further charges.
• Cancellations 15–29 days before the event: 50% of remaining balance due.
• Cancellations within 14 days: full contract amount due.
• Rescheduling is permitted once within 12 months subject to availability.

2. Copyright & Licensing

All photographs, video, edits, and other works created by KEP1 Photo are the exclusive property of KEP1 Photo by KSPORT, Inc. under United States copyright law (17 U.S.C. § 101et seq.). Delivery of digital files or prints grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license for personal, non-commercial use only. Commercial, editorial, or extended commercial use requires a separate written license and payment of licensing fees set by the photographer.

3. Model & Media Release

By booking, you and any participants agree to the terms of our Media Release, which governs the use of name, image, and likeness. You may grant or decline promotional use during booking; regardless of that choice, copyright remains with KEP1 Photo.

4. Delivery & Turnaround

Standard delivery is 4–6 weeks after the event; rush delivery may be added for an additional fee. We store final galleries online for at least 90 days; clients are responsible for downloading and backing up their files during that window.

5. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by New Jersey law, KEP1 Photo's total aggregate liability arising from or related to the Services shall not exceed the amounts actually paid by you to KEP1 Photo for the specific event giving rise to the claim. In no event shall KEP1 Photo be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including lost profits or emotional distress.

6. Force Majeure

Neither party shall be liable for failure to perform due to causes beyond reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, illness, government orders, transportation failure, or equipment malfunction. In such cases we will use commercially reasonable efforts to reschedule or provide a substitute photographer.

7. Governing Law & Venue

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New Jersey, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Essex County, New Jersey, and the parties consent to personal jurisdiction and venue therein.

8. Consumer Protection Notice

Nothing in these Terms is intended to waive rights afforded to you under the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act (N.J.S.A. 56:8-1 et seq.) or any other applicable statute.

9. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date. Continued use of the Site after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
