TERMS OF SERVICE
Last updated: 2026-08-25
The print shop is not yet open. Sections 4 through 9 govern purchases and take effect when it opens.
Acceptance of These Terms
This website is operated by Jake Mazur Photography. Throughout the site, the terms “we”, “us” and “our” refer to Jake Mazur Photography, based in the State of Maryland. “You” refers to any person who accesses this site or purchases from us.
If you purchase from us, you accept these Terms of Service by checking the acknowledgment box presented at checkout before you pay. That acknowledgment is the point at which a binding agreement is formed between us. We record the date of your acceptance and the version of these Terms you accepted.
If you only browse the site, you are not bound by the purchase terms in Sections 4 through 9, because you have not made a purchase. Your use of the site is, however, conditioned on Section 2 (Intellectual Property and Image Protection), Section 15 (Prohibited Uses), Section 16 (Disclaimer of Warranties) and Section 17 (Limitation of Liability), which apply to everyone who accesses the site. If you do not accept those sections, please do not use this site.
These Terms incorporate our Return & Refund Policy and our Privacy Policy, each of which forms part of this agreement. The version of these Terms in effect when you place an order governs that order — see Section 24.
SECTION 1 - ELIGIBILITY AND ONLINE STORE TERMS
By accepting these Terms of Service, you represent that you are at least the age of majority in your state of residence, or that you have the consent of a parent or guardian. This site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
You may not use our products for any illegal or unauthorized purpose, nor may you, in the use of the Service, violate any laws in your jurisdiction, including but not limited to copyright laws. You must not transmit any worms or viruses or any code of a destructive nature. A breach or violation of any of these Terms may result in immediate termination of your access to the Service.
SECTION 2 - INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY & IMAGE PROTECTION
All photographs, images, and creative content displayed on this website are the exclusive intellectual property of Jake Mazur Photography and are protected by United States and international copyright laws.
No License Granted By Access: Your access to this website does not grant you a license or any right to use the images. Except as expressly permitted under “Purchased Prints” below, you agree not to reproduce, duplicate, copy, publish, distribute, sell, resell, modify, or otherwise exploit any portion of the Service, or any photographs or content on the website, without our express written permission. Any unauthorized use constitutes copyright infringement, and we will pursue all remedies available to us, including statutory damages and attorneys' fees where available.
Purchased Prints: When you buy a print from us, you acquire ownership of that physical object only. Copyright in the underlying photograph is retained in full by Jake Mazur Photography. You may keep the print, gift it, or resell that specific physical print as a used good, and you may display the print itself — privately, or publicly at the place where the print is located, to viewers present at that place. To the extent this paragraph conflicts with any other provision of these Terms, this paragraph controls with respect to a print you have lawfully purchased from us.
You may not reproduce the image in any form. This includes, without limitation, scanning, rephotographing, or digitizing the print; producing further copies or derivative works; using the image in advertising, merchandise, or any commercial context; licensing or sublicensing the image to a third party; or including the image in a dataset used to develop or train machine learning or artificial intelligence models. No commercial license is granted by a print purchase. If you need one, contact us to negotiate it separately.
Copyright Metadata: The image files we publish on this site carry embedded copyright metadata identifying Jake Mazur Photography as the author and copyright owner. You may not remove or alter that metadata. Knowingly removing or altering copyright management information, or distributing files from which it has been removed, is separately actionable under 17 U.S.C. § 1202, in addition to any claim for infringement.
SECTION 3 - GENERAL CONDITIONS
We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone for any lawful reason at any time. Your rights and obligations regarding our photographs and other content are set out in Section 2 above.
SECTION 4 - PRODUCTS, PRICING AND SALES TAX
Certain products or Services may be available exclusively online through the website. Prints are made to order and are subject to return or exchange only according to our Return & Refund Policy and Section 8 below. We have made every effort to display as accurately as possible the colors and images of our products. We cannot guarantee that your monitor's display of any color will be accurate.
Prices shown on the site exclude sales tax. Any applicable sales tax is calculated and displayed at checkout based on your shipping address, and is charged in addition to the listed price.
Prices for our products are subject to change without notice, but the price displayed at checkout is the price that applies to your order. We reserve the right at any time to modify or discontinue the Service, or to stop offering any particular image, size, or material. We shall not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, price change, suspension or discontinuance of the Service.
SECTION 5 - ORDER ACCEPTANCE AND CONTRACT FORMATION
Your submission of an order is an offer to purchase. A binding contract of sale is formed when we send you an order confirmation by email. Until we send that confirmation, we may decline your order — including for pricing or description errors, for an image that cannot be produced at the size or material you selected, or for a shipping address we cannot serve. If we decline an order after payment has been taken, we will refund the full amount charged.
Payment is taken at checkout. After we send your order confirmation, you may still cancel your order within the window described in Section 2 of our Return & Refund Policy, provided production has not already begun.
You agree to provide current, complete and accurate purchase information for all purchases made at our store, including a valid email address and a deliverable shipping address, and to update that information promptly if it changes, so that we can complete your transaction.
SECTION 6 - PAYMENTS AND CHARGEBACKS
Payments are processed on our behalf by Stripe. Your use of the checkout is also subject to Stripe's own terms and privacy policy. Card details are collected and handled by Stripe over an encrypted connection; we never receive or store your full card number, and we hold only the limited transaction information Stripe reports back to us — such as the last four digits, the card brand, and the outcome of the charge.
If you believe there is a problem with an order, please contact us at [email protected] before initiating a chargeback with your bank. We can almost always resolve an issue faster directly, and we would rather fix the problem than dispute it. Nothing in this paragraph limits any right you have under your cardholder agreement or under the Fair Credit Billing Act.
SECTION 7 - SHIPPING, DELIVERY, RISK OF LOSS AND SERVICE AREA
United States only. We currently sell and ship within the United States only. Orders may be placed only for delivery to an address in the fifty United States or the District of Columbia. We do not ship internationally and cannot accept an order with an international shipping address. If an order is placed with an address we cannot serve, we will cancel it and refund it in full.
Delivery estimates. Production and shipping times published on the site and in Section 6 of our Return & Refund Policy reflect the turnaround times published by the print partner who produces your order. They are good-faith estimates, not guarantees. Section 6 of that policy also sets out what happens if we cannot ship your order within 30 days, and is incorporated into these Terms.
Risk of loss. Risk of loss and title to a print pass to you upon delivery to the shipping address you provided. If your order is damaged in transit or confirmed lost in transit, your remedy is set out in Section 8 below and in Sections 3 and 4 of the Return & Refund Policy.
SECTION 8 - RETURNS, REFUNDS AND LIMITED WARRANTY
Limited Warranty. We warrant to the original purchaser that each print will be free from defects in materials and workmanship at the time of delivery. If a print arrives defective, damaged, or is not the item you ordered, we will replace it at no cost to you, or issue a full refund if a replacement is not available. You will not be asked to pay return shipping. You must make your claim within 14 days of delivery, following the process in our Return & Refund Policy.
Sole and Exclusive Remedy. The remedies described in the Return & Refund Policy are your sole and exclusive remedies for a print that is defective, damaged, incorrect, or undelivered.
No Change-of-Mind Returns. Because every print is produced individually after you order it, we do not accept returns or exchanges for change of mind, including dissatisfaction with the size, format, finish, or subject you selected. Please review your choices carefully before completing checkout.
Duration of Implied Warranties. Any implied warranties on a print, including the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose, are limited in duration to the 14-day claim period described above. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.
SECTION 9 - ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS
By placing an order, you consent to receive records and communications from us electronically — including order confirmations, receipts, shipping notices, changes to these Terms, and legal notices — at the email address you provide. You agree that electronic records and your acknowledgment at checkout satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing and signed. You may withdraw this consent by contacting us, but we cannot process an online order without it.
SECTION 10 - ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS AND TIMELINESS OF INFORMATION
We are not responsible if information made available on this site is not accurate, complete or current. The material on this site is provided for general information only. Any reliance on the material on this site is at your own risk. We reserve the right to modify the contents of this site at any time, but we have no obligation to update any information on our site.
SECTION 11 - THIRD-PARTY SERVICES AND LINKS
We rely on third parties to operate this store: Stripe processes payments, Cloudflare and Amazon Web Services host and deliver the site, and an independent print partner produces and ships your order. Your interactions with those providers are governed by their own terms and privacy policies, and we do not control them. How we share your information with them is described in our Privacy Policy.
Third-party links on this site may direct you to websites that are not affiliated with us. We are not responsible for examining or evaluating their content or accuracy, and we do not warrant and will not have any liability or responsibility for any third-party materials.
SECTION 12 - FEEDBACK AND SUBMISSIONS
If you send us unsolicited feedback, suggestions, or creative ideas — by email, contest entry, or any other channel — you agree that we may use, edit, copy, publish, and distribute them without restriction. We are under no obligation to keep unsolicited submissions confidential or to pay compensation for them. This does not apply to your personal information, which is handled under our Privacy Policy.
SECTION 13 - PERSONAL INFORMATION
Your submission of personal information through the store is governed by our Privacy Policy.
SECTION 14 - ERRORS, INACCURACIES AND OMISSIONS
Occasionally there may be information on our site that contains typographical errors, inaccuracies or omissions relating to product descriptions, pricing, and availability. We reserve the right to correct any errors and to change or update information, and to decline or cancel an affected order under Section 5, without prior notice.
SECTION 15 - PROHIBITED USES
In addition to other prohibitions set out in these Terms of Service, you are prohibited from using the site or its content:
- (a) For any unlawful purpose, or to solicit others to perform any unlawful act;
- (b) To violate any international, federal, state, or local regulation, rule, law, or ordinance;
- (c) To infringe upon or violate our intellectual property rights or the intellectual property rights of others;
- (d) To harass, abuse, defame, disparage, intimidate, or discriminate against anyone;
- (e) To submit false or misleading information, or to place an order you do not intend to pay for;
- (f) To upload or transmit viruses or any other type of malicious code;
- (g) To spam, phish, pharm, spider, crawl, or scrape the site, or to access it by any automated means that places an unreasonable load on our infrastructure;
- (h) To reproduce, redistribute, publish, sell, license, or commercially exploit any photograph from this site; to create derivative works from it; or to include it in any dataset used to develop or train machine learning or artificial intelligence models.
Subsection (h) does not apply to a physical print you have lawfully purchased from us. Your rights in a purchased print are set out in Section 2 above.
SECTION 16 - DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES (WEBSITE AND SERVICE)
You expressly agree that your use of, or inability to use, the Service is at your sole risk.
The website and the Service, and all content and materials made available through them, are provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including without limitation all implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free from harmful components.
This Section 16 applies to the website and Service only. Warranty terms for prints you purchase from us are set out in Section 8 and are not disclaimed here.
Payments are processed by Stripe on Stripe's own systems. Card details are never transmitted to or stored on this website — see Section 6.
Some states do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties. In those states, the exclusions in this section apply only to the greatest extent permitted by law.
SECTION 17 - LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Jake Mazur Photography shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, punitive, or consequential damages of any kind, including without limitation lost profits, lost data, or loss of goodwill, arising from your use of the Service or of any product purchased through it, whether based in contract, tort, strict liability, or any other theory.
Cap on liability. Where liability cannot lawfully be excluded, our total liability to you for all claims arising out of or relating to these Terms or to any order shall not exceed the greater of (a) the total amount you paid for the order giving rise to the claim, or (b) fifty US dollars ($50).
What this section does not limit. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability for gross negligence, willful misconduct, fraud, or death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or for any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded. Nothing in this section limits the remedies we expressly provide in Section 8 and in our Return & Refund Policy for prints that arrive damaged, defective, incorrect, or undelivered.
Some states do not allow the limitation of certain damages. In those states, the limitations in this section apply only to the greatest extent permitted by law.
SECTION 18 - INDEMNIFICATION
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Jake Mazur Photography from any third-party claim, demand, loss, or expense, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of your breach of Section 2 (Intellectual Property) or Section 15 (Prohibited Uses), or your unlawful use of the Service. This obligation is limited to claims arising from your own acts or omissions.
SECTION 19 - FORCE MAJEURE
We are not liable for any delay or failure to perform caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including natural disasters, severe weather, fire, labor disputes, carrier or postal disruption, failure or insolvency of our print partner, material shortages, power or network outages, or government action. If such an event prevents us from fulfilling your order within a reasonable time, we will notify you and you may cancel the order for a full refund.
SECTION 20 - TERMINATION AND SURVIVAL
We may terminate or suspend your access to the Service at any time for breach of these Terms. Termination does not affect any order we have already confirmed, and does not relieve either of us of obligations incurred before termination.
Sections 2, 8, 15, 16, 17, 18, 22, and 23 survive any termination of these Terms or of your access to the Service.
SECTION 21 - SEVERABILITY AND WAIVER
If any provision of these Terms of Service is determined to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision shall nonetheless be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and the unenforceable portion shall be deemed severed from these Terms. Such a determination shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other remaining provision.
Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Service shall not constitute a waiver of that right or provision, and shall not limit our ability to enforce it on any other occasion.
SECTION 22 - ENTIRE AGREEMENT, PRECEDENCE AND ASSIGNMENT
These Terms of Service, together with our Return & Refund Policy and Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between us regarding your use of the Service and any purchase you make, and supersede any prior agreements or communications. Any ambiguity in these Terms shall not be construed against the drafting party.
If there is a conflict between these documents, the following order controls: first, the “Purchased Prints” paragraph in Section 2; second, the Return & Refund Policy; third, the remainder of these Terms.
You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our written consent. We may assign them in connection with a sale or transfer of the business, on notice to you.
SECTION 23 - GOVERNING LAW AND VENUE
These Terms of Service and any separate agreements whereby we provide you Services shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Maryland, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
You agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms of Service or to any purchase made from us shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in the State of Maryland, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts. This does not limit any right you may have to bring a claim in a small claims court of competent jurisdiction.
Nothing in this section deprives you of the protection of any consumer protection law of your state of residence that cannot be waived by agreement, or of your right to bring a complaint before a government agency in your state.
SECTION 24 - CHANGES TO THESE TERMS
We may update these Terms of Service from time to time. The current version is always posted on this page and is identified by the version number at the top. You can review it at any time.
Changes apply going forward only. The version of these Terms in effect at the time you place an order governs that order, and no later change will be applied retroactively to an order already placed. If we make a material change, we will identify it with a new version number and you will be asked to acknowledge the updated Terms at your next checkout. Continuing to browse the site after a change constitutes acceptance of the changes to Sections 2, 15, 16, and 17 only.
