Terms and Conditions

These Terms and Conditions govern the use of the website bellaluzfotografia.com and the engagement of Bella Luz Fotografía's photography services ("we," "us," or "our"). By using our site, contacting us, or booking a session, you agree to these terms. We encourage you to read them carefully.

1. Services

Bella Luz Fotografía offers professional photography services, including quinceañeras, weddings, engagement sessions, portraits, maternity, newborn, religious events, graduations, and family events in Nashville and the Middle Tennessee area. The specific details of each service (duration, deliverables, and price) are agreed upon at the time of booking.

2. Bookings and Payments

• To secure your date, we may require a deposit or retainer. The date is not considered reserved until that deposit is received.
• The remaining balance is due as agreed, typically before or on the day of the event.
• Prices and packages may change, but the price agreed upon at the time of booking will be honored for your event.

3. Cancellations and Rescheduling

• Deposits are generally non-refundable, as they reserve your date and prevent us from accepting other clients.
• If you need to reschedule, please contact us as soon as possible, and we will do our best to accommodate a new date based on availability.
• In the event of an emergency or circumstances beyond our control (severe weather, illness, etc.), we will work with you in good faith to reschedule.

4. Copyright and Image Use

• Bella Luz Fotografía retains the copyright to all photographs we take.
• Upon booking, you receive a personal-use license for the delivered images, which includes printing them and sharing them with family and friends.
• Unless otherwise agreed in writing, we reserve the right to use the images for our portfolio, social media, and promotional materials. If you prefer that your photos not be published, let us know and we will respect your decision.
• Commercial use or resale of the images is not permitted without our written consent.

5. Client Responsibilities

• Provide accurate information about the date, time, and location of the event.
• Obtain any permits necessary to photograph at private locations or venues that require authorization.
• Ensure a safe environment for the equipment and the photographer during the session or event.

6. Delivery of Photographs

Edited images are delivered through a private online gallery within the timeframe agreed upon for each type of session. Galleries remain available for download for up to two years, unless otherwise agreed. We encourage you to download and back up your photos during that period.

7. Limitation of Liability

While we do everything possible to capture your event at the highest quality, we are not responsible for moments not photographed due to circumstances beyond our control, nor for unforeseen technical equipment failures. In the unlikely event of total image loss due to equipment failure, our liability is limited to a refund of the amount paid for the affected session.

8. Website Intellectual Property

All content on this website—including text, images, logos, and design—is the property of Bella Luz Fotografía and is protected by intellectual property laws. Reproduction without written authorization is not permitted.

9. Third-Party Links

Our site may contain links to third-party sites (for example, social media or WhatsApp). We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of those external sites.

10. Governing Law

These Terms and Conditions are governed by the laws of the State of Tennessee, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-law provisions.

11. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms and Conditions from time to time. We will post the revised version on this page with a new "last updated" date. Continued use of the site or our services constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
