We may also contact you via telephone and postal mail, but are not required to do so. You should ensure any email coming from the domain “ShagStar.Media” is added to a “whitelist” to help ensure delivery and that it is not rejected or deleted as junk or spam.

4. Merchandise
   You are responsible for the costs of shipping your Merchandise to and from our studio, plus any necessary insurance. Choose a shipping provider with reliable tracking information and signature confirmation. If a shipment is lost, delayed, or damaged, while in transit to our studio, we are not responsible for such loss, damage or delays.

   1. Prohibited items: Do not deliver to us any Merchandise that contains, any narcotic, illegal drug, or controlled substance, or any dangerous weapon, firearm, explosive, dangerous chemical, obscene or pornographic materials or any merchandise that is unlawful to possess in the State of Nevada, State of Tennessee or the United States.

   2. Shipping of Merchandise to us: When shipping Merchandise to our studio, please follow these guidelines:

      1. Packages should be carefully packed to ensure protection of the Merchandise during transit.

      2. All packages should include your name, company name, address, email address, and phone number.

      4. Shipments should be addressed to: Shag Star Media, Attn: Jas Smith, 66 South Main, Suite 302, Memphis, TN 38103

   3. Return shipping: If you specify return shipping when placing your order, we will return your Merchandise to you after completion of the project. You must provide a physical address (sorry, no PO boxes) for return. Due to import/export regulations, all return shipments must be to an address within the USA. The cost of return shipping and handling will be quoted prior to shipment. You may also pick up your products at our studio location during business hours if you do not want them to be shipped. All return shipments are subject to our Limitation of Liability in section 4 (d) below.

   4. Limitation of liability for damage or loss of Merchandise: If your Merchandise becomes damaged or lost while in our possession, or during return shipment, we will, at our option, replace, repair, or reimburse you for the value of the Merchandise up to a maximum of $250 USD total lifetime aggregate. For Merchandise valued greater than $250 USD you should purchase your own insurance covering loss or damage to the Merchandise while in our possession and during transit to and from our studio. We are not liable for loss or damage to Merchandise exceeding a total value of $250 USD, regardless of quantity.

   5. Storage: Upon request, we will store your Merchandise in our facility free of charge for up to 15 days after completion of your project. After 15 days, you must arrange with us for Merchandise to be returned, picked up, donated, or discarded. If we are unable to obtain your preference, Merchandise will be subject to our Abandonment policy in section 4 (g) below.

   6. Donating or discarding: Occasionally, the value of some Merchandise may be less than the cost of return shipping. If you do not want the Merchandise returned to you at the completion of your project please let us know and we will donate, discard or sell the Merchandise. We are not able to offer compensation or credit for donated, discarded or sold Merchandise. If you choose to have your Merchandise donated or discarded, we will decide which persons or organizations receive the Merchandise or whether it is discarded instead of donated.

   7. Abandonment: If your Merchandise is in our possession and we aren’t able to reach you regarding its return, it will be considered abandoned after the time periods detailed below have expired. If we try to reach you to obtain return shipping information, or payment for return shipping, and 15 days pass without us receiving the necessary information or payment, we will then email you a notice informing you that your Merchandise is at risk of being donated, discarded, or sold. If another 30 days passes after we have emailed the aforementioned notice and we still have not received your return shipping information or payment for return shipping, you agree that all title, interest, and ownership of the Merchandise shall be transferred to us and the Merchandise will be donated, discarded, or sold, at our option, and you will not receive any compensation for the merchandise or proceeds from any sale.

5. Invoicing and payment

   1. Payment terms: Payment is required to begin work on your project. When payment is received, your project is added to the next available opening on our production schedule. For projects less than $5,000 USD, full payment is required in advance. For projects greater than $5,000 USD clients may submit 50% of the total as a deposit, the remainder being due within 5 days from delivery of low-resolution watermarked images, which will be converted to full-size un-watermarked images after receipt of the balance. Alternate payment terms may override this section if agreed to in writing by both parties.

   2. Non-payment: If payment for our services is not rendered, we may take legal action to collect payments due. We may also exercise our rights under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act to issue takedown notices requesting the removal from website(s), any Content we’ve delivered to you which has gone unpaid. We may also seek injunctive relief to prevent unpaid Content from being published, reproduced, or displayed. Additionally, we may pursue legal action for actual, statutory, and punitive damages for copyright infringement if you publish or use our Content without remitting payment.

6. Refund policy
   Payments made to us are refundable under certain circumstances as outlined below. No other refunds, returns, exchanges, or changes may be made except for the following:

   1. Rush projects not completed by the deadline: In the event a rush order is not completed on time, we will refund the rush fee portion of the project. No other refunds will be made for rush orders delivered after the deadline indicated on the invoice.

   2. You cancel your order within the specified time. If you have already submitted payment, you may cancel your order by sending an email to connect@shagstar.media requesting cancellation. Cancellation requests must be made within 24 hours of payment in writing. Refunds are not possible for projects cancelled more than 24 hours after payment. Due to tight time constraints, rush orders can not be cancelled.

   3. Refunds will be processed via the same method as the payment was made. Credit card payments will be refunded to the same card payment was made. Payments by check will be refunded by company check.

7. Pricing
   Our current pricing is published on the pricing page of our Website. We may make changes to the prices we charge for our services at any time by publishing the new rates to our Website. We may offer other services that aren’t listed on our pricing page and, if applicable, those rates will be disclosed prior to work being performed.

   You agree to be responsible for and pay any and all applicable sales, use, or value added taxes, or duties imposed by any jurisdiction as a result of the work performed for you by us or in connection with any license we grant to you.

   2. 1. Alterations and accuracy: As part of our creative process, you agree we may make any alterations to the Content that we feel are appropriate. This includes, but is not limited to: color adjustments, brightness adjustments, dust removal, scratch removal, distortion removal, correction of defects, correction of manufacturing inconsistencies or errors, compositing of multiple images, adding graphics, and other alterations as necessary. The Content is our artistic interpretation of the Merchandise we photograph for you. We do not guarantee that the Content will be a flawless or perfectly accurate representation of your Merchandise. It’s your responsibility to ensure the Content is appropriate for the final intended use and that it doesn’t misrepresent the Merchandise. We will not be responsible for any claims by you or any third party that the Content is an inaccurate representation of the Merchandise.

      2. Creative direction: As our client, you may elect to provide creative direction over any aspect of the project, such as lighting, arrangement, camera angle, and editing. If you choose to exercise this creative direction, you must provide such direction in advance so it can be properly recorded on the invoice, shot list, and/or any attachments. You must ensure this creative direction has been correctly recorded to the invoice and any attachments prior to payment. You are not required to provide direction on creative aspects of your project. Any aspects of the project for which you have not provided specific creative direction will be left up to the judgment of our production team.

      3. Invoice and any attachments detail all direction: We will complete your order as it is described on the invoice and any attached documents. Our best understanding of any direction, instructions, or ideas you send to us, or we discuss with you, will be described on the invoice and any attachments. It is very important that you carefully read the invoice and any attachments to ensure they accurately describe the work you would like us to perform for you. If the invoice is not accurate, do not submit payment. Instead, contact your media liaison and they will make the necessary changes. By submitting payment for an invoice, you agree the invoice correctly describes the work you would like us to perform. In the case where any written or verbal communication is inconsistent with the order as written on the invoice, the invoice and any attachments shall govern.

      4. Review period: Immediately after the project is complete you will receive an email containing a link and password to view and download the Content. We allow up to 5 days for you to provide us with feedback regarding the delivered Content. After 5 days, if we have not heard from you, your order will be closed and your Merchandise will be shipped back, donated, sold, or discarded, as you have requested and as indicated on the invoice.

      5. Reshoots and edits: During the review period you may contact us to request changes to the Content such as reshoots, edits, or additional photos. Upon request, we will reshoot or edit photos free of charge under the following circumstances:

         1. Work not completed as specified on the invoice and accompanying shot list: If we make an error and deliver work that is not correct as specified on the invoice and its accompanying shot list, we will reshoot or edit the work, as needed, to correct the error.

         2. You request images to be edited: If you see anything in the Content that you’d like us to touch-up, we will be happy to perform one (1) round of editing, free of charge, at your request to further adjust details such as color, tone, minor blemishes, and any other adjustments that can be made without reshooting the Content.

      6. Some change requests made during the review period may require an additional charge. Examples include:

         1. Additional photos: If you request additional photos that were not previously included on the invoice we will inform you of the cost and request payment prior to completion of the work.

         2. Reshoots: If we’ve photographed images as they are described on the invoice but you’d like to see them changed, such as different lighting, camera angle, arrangement, or anything else that requires them to be re-shot, then we may, at our option, quote an additional charge to cover the cost of reshooting them.

10. Delivery
    After production is complete, the Content will be delivered through our Image Hosting Service. We will email you a link and a password so you can view and download all work that we’ve completed for you. We contract with a third party vendor who manages the website and software that runs our Image Hosting Service.
