Terms and Conditions

powered by StudiOs Terms and Conditions

Effective Date: August 9, 2026

Last Updated: August 9, 2026

These Terms and Conditions, referred to as the “Terms,” constitute a legally binding agreement between Christopher E. Fritchie, a Texas sole proprietorship operating as powered by StudiOs, referred to as “powered by StudiOs,” “we,” “us,” or “our,” and each individual or business that purchases, accesses, subscribes to, participates in, or otherwise uses StudiOs products or services, referred to as “Client,” “Member,” “Customer,” “you,” or “your.”

powered by StudiOs provides business systems, technology, websites, automation, client management tools, communications systems, education, mentoring, community resources, custom services, creative resources, and related products and services primarily designed for professional photographers and creative businesses.

By purchasing, subscribing to, accessing, registering for, or using any StudiOs product or service, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to these Terms.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By creating an account, purchasing a product or service, enrolling in a membership, registering for an educational program, participating in the StudiOs community, submitting payment, or otherwise using StudiOs, you agree to be bound by these Terms and the powered by StudiOs Privacy Policy.

If you accept these Terms on behalf of a business or other organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not purchase, access, or use StudiOs.

2. StudiOs Services

powered by StudiOs may provide business systems, websites, client relationship tools, communications systems, business automation, workflows, forms, calendars, pipelines, educational programs, live classes, recorded education, mentoring, community access, consulting, custom development, Visual Signatures, Visual Collections, StudiOs Interactions, marketing resources, artificial intelligence functionality, integrations, and other products or services.

Specific services available to a Client depend upon the product, membership, subscription, Launch package, custom agreement, or other offering purchased.

StudiOs is an evolving platform. Features, functionality, integrations, interfaces, instructors, educational programs, community resources, technology, and other components may be added, modified, replaced, reorganized, or discontinued as StudiOs evolves.

Purchase or subscription does not guarantee the permanent availability of any particular feature, integration, instructor, class, workflow, technology, or other component unless expressly guaranteed in a separate written agreement signed by powered by StudiOs.

3. StudiOs Launch

StudiOs Launch is an implementation and onboarding service designed to configure and prepare a Client’s StudiOs business environment.

The applicable Launch fee will be disclosed before purchase.

Launch fees are nonrefundable immediately upon submission of payment.

powered by StudiOs begins performance immediately after purchase. Submission of payment may automatically initiate account provisioning, onboarding processes, information collection, system configuration, workflow preparation, resource allocation, implementation activities, and other work associated with creating and configuring the Client’s StudiOs environment.

Because this work begins immediately, powered by StudiOs does not provide a voluntary cancellation or refund period following the purchase of Launch.

Submission of payment constitutes authorization for powered by StudiOs to begin performing Launch services immediately.

Nothing in this section limits any cancellation or refund right that cannot legally be waived.

4. Custom Services

Payments for custom services are nonrefundable once purchased and work has begun.

Custom services may include websites, Visual Signatures, Visual Collections, design services, development, custom configurations, consulting, migrations, integrations, custom workflows, custom automations, creative services, implementation, strategy, and other Client specific work.

For purposes of these Terms, work may begin through automated provisioning, research, discovery, onboarding, planning, communication, meetings, account configuration, content preparation, design, development, implementation, or other activities undertaken specifically for the Client.

Custom work may incorporate proprietary StudiOs systems and intellectual property. Payment for custom work does not transfer ownership of the underlying powered by StudiOs platform, methodologies, architecture, templates, reusable components, systems, libraries, or intellectual property.

5. Project Timelines

All completion dates, launch dates, migration dates, implementation schedules, recording availability dates, development schedules, and similar dates provided by powered by StudiOs are good faith estimates unless powered by StudiOs expressly agrees in writing that a particular deadline is guaranteed.

powered by StudiOs will make reasonable efforts to complete services within projected timelines. However, timelines may be affected by Client responsiveness, project complexity, revisions, technical limitations, outside service providers, instructor or contractor availability, unexpected development requirements, and circumstances outside the reasonable control of powered by StudiOs.

An estimated date does not constitute a guarantee or create a right to refund, credit, damages, cancellation, or other compensation solely because the estimated date changes.

6. Client Responsibilities

Successful implementation and continued operation of StudiOs services require reasonable and timely cooperation from the Client.

When powered by StudiOs requests information, photographs, copy, branding materials, account credentials, approvals, questionnaires, decisions, domain access, payment information, business information, integrations, or other materials reasonably necessary to provide services, the Client is expected to provide the requested information within five business days, unless powered by StudiOs provides another timeframe.

Client delays may automatically extend corresponding StudiOs timelines.

powered by StudiOs is not responsible for delays, incomplete implementation, unavailable functionality, missed estimated dates, or other consequences resulting from inaccurate information, incomplete information, delayed approvals, failure to provide requested materials, or other Client caused delays.

Client caused delays do not create a right to refund or credit.

The Client is responsible for ensuring that information supplied to powered by StudiOs is accurate and that the Client possesses the necessary rights, permissions, licenses, and authority to use any material supplied to powered by StudiOs.

7. Payments and Payment Method

Clients must pay all applicable fees according to the pricing and billing schedule presented at purchase.

Clients receiving recurring services must maintain a valid payment method on file.

By providing a payment method and purchasing a recurring subscription or membership, you authorize powered by StudiOs and its payment processing providers to charge applicable recurring fees according to the billing terms disclosed when you enroll until the recurring service is properly cancelled.

Applicable recurring billing terms will be disclosed at enrollment.

Taxes, carrier charges, transaction fees, outside service expenses, or other charges may apply where disclosed or required by law.

8. Past Due Accounts

An account that remains unpaid for five days after payment becomes due may be suspended.

Suspension may include restriction or loss of access to StudiOs, websites, community resources, educational content, support, communications functionality, automations, account functionality, services, or other StudiOs resources.

Suspension does not waive amounts legitimately owed.

powered by StudiOs may require payment of all outstanding balances before restoring access.

powered by StudiOs is not responsible for business interruption or other losses resulting from a lawful suspension caused by the Client’s failure to pay amounts due.

Continued or repeated nonpayment may result in termination.

9. Cancellation

Except where a particular written agreement or applicable law provides otherwise, Clients requesting termination of ongoing StudiOs services must provide at least 30 days written notice.

Cancellation requests must be submitted through an authorized powered by StudiOs cancellation process or in writing to:

[email protected]

The cancellation becomes effective according to the applicable subscription or service agreement and the 30 day notice requirement.

The Client remains responsible for legitimate fees and contractual obligations becoming due during the applicable notice period.

Cancellation does not create a right to refund amounts previously paid, earned, incurred, or properly charged.

Nothing in these Terms authorizes powered by StudiOs to continue recurring charges after authorization has been effectively revoked where applicable law requires those charges to stop.

10. Refunds and Credits

Except where required by applicable law or expressly agreed otherwise by powered by StudiOs in writing, all sales are final.

Launch fees are nonrefundable immediately upon payment.

Custom services are nonrefundable once purchased and work has begun.

Membership and subscription payments properly charged are nonrefundable and are not prorated.

Educational purchases are nonrefundable.

Completed services are nonrefundable.

Missed appointments, failure to attend, failure to participate, Client delays, failure to provide requested information, dissatisfaction based upon personal preference, failure to implement recommendations, or failure to achieve desired business results do not create a right to refund or credit.

powered by StudiOs may occasionally choose to provide a credit, transfer, accommodation, or other exception at its sole discretion. Such an exception does not establish a policy, precedent, or continuing obligation to make similar exceptions in the future.

Nothing in this section limits rights that cannot legally be waived.

11. Education, Classes, Workshops, and Mentoring

Purchases of classes, workshops, courses, mentoring, educational programs, and other educational products are nonrefundable except where required by law.

Failure to attend or participate does not create a right to refund, credit, transfer, extension, or replacement service.

powered by StudiOs generally intends for applicable live educational classes to be recorded. Instructors may be allowed approximately two weeks following a class to provide or upload a recording. This timeframe is an estimate rather than a guaranteed delivery date.

Unless a particular offering expressly guarantees recording access, powered by StudiOs does not guarantee that every live program will successfully be recorded or that recordings will remain available permanently.

Technical failures, corrupted recordings, platform failures, instructor circumstances, or other events may occasionally prevent recording or delay availability.

Educational information reflects the experience, opinions, and professional judgment of the applicable instructors and is provided for educational purposes. It is not legal, accounting, tax, financial, medical, or other regulated professional advice.

12. No Guarantee of Business Results

powered by StudiOs provides systems, technology, education, mentoring, resources, community, strategies, tools, and services intended to help businesses operate more effectively.

Business success depends upon numerous factors outside the control of powered by StudiOs.

powered by StudiOs does not guarantee revenue, profitability, bookings, leads, inquiries, conversion rates, client acquisition, sales, search rankings, advertising performance, social media performance, business growth, or any other particular result.

Testimonials, examples, case studies, demonstrations, projections, and instructor experiences do not constitute guarantees of future performance.

13. Client Content and Business Data

Clients retain ownership of their original photographs, original written content, client records, business data, trademarks, logos, and other materials they lawfully own and provide through StudiOs.

The Client grants powered by StudiOs permission to host, process, reproduce, transmit, format, modify where technically necessary, and otherwise use Client content to the extent reasonably necessary to provide StudiOs services.

The Client represents that the Client possesses sufficient rights and permissions to provide such content to powered by StudiOs.

powered by StudiOs does not acquire ownership of a photographer’s photographs merely because those photographs are uploaded, displayed, transmitted, or processed through StudiOs.

14. StudiOs Intellectual Property

powered by StudiOs and its licensors retain all rights in StudiOs intellectual property.

This includes, where applicable, platform architecture, business systems, methodologies, templates, frameworks, Visual Signatures, Visual Collections, StudiOs Interactions, educational materials, training materials, workflows, reusable components, designs, software, code, documentation, processes, graphics, videos, written materials, branding, proprietary configurations, and other intellectual property.

Purchasing or subscribing to StudiOs does not constitute purchasing ownership of StudiOs or its underlying intellectual property.

Clients receive only the rights reasonably necessary to use applicable StudiOs products and services for their own authorized business purposes during the applicable period of service.

Unless expressly authorized in writing by powered by StudiOs, Clients may not copy, reproduce, sell, sublicense, redistribute, publish, reverse engineer, extract, scrape, commercially exploit, or create unauthorized derivative products from StudiOs proprietary materials.

Clients may not provide proprietary StudiOs materials to unauthorized persons.

Clients may not use StudiOs materials, systems, architecture, education, documentation, or proprietary resources to create, assist in creating, or materially support a competing platform, template library, educational product, membership, service, or commercial system.

Account credentials may not be shared with unauthorized users.

15. Departing Clients and Account Transfer

powered by StudiOs believes Clients leaving in good standing should have reasonable portability of eligible Client specific business information and assets.

Following the effective cancellation date, a Client who has satisfied all financial obligations may request transfer of eligible Client specific account assets to a technically compatible destination account.

powered by StudiOs may take up to 30 days following the effective cancellation date to prepare and complete an eligible transfer.

Transferability depends upon technical capabilities, licensing restrictions, outside service limitations, proprietary StudiOs architecture, and the nature of the applicable asset.

powered by StudiOs is not obligated to transfer proprietary StudiOs intellectual property, platform level architecture, reusable proprietary systems, licensed materials, or other assets the Client does not own or does not have a continuing right to use.

powered by StudiOs does not guarantee that transferred assets will function identically in another environment.

Following completion of a transfer, powered by StudiOs is not responsible for modifications, failures, incompatibilities, lost functionality, configuration changes, or other problems caused by the destination environment, another provider, outside service, Client modification, or other circumstances outside powered by StudiOs control.

Clients are responsible for cooperating with reasonable transfer requirements and providing accurate destination account information.

16. Community Standards

StudiOs community spaces exist primarily for photography, business, education, professional development, collaboration, and appropriate industry discussion.

Members are expected to interact professionally.

Political campaigning and political debate are not permitted within StudiOs community spaces. Community discussions should remain focused on appropriate business, photography, education, professional, and community subjects.

Harassment, threats, discrimination, personal attacks, spam, unauthorized solicitation, fraudulent activity, scraping Member information, misuse of another Member’s information, and intentionally disruptive behavior are prohibited.

Members may not use StudiOs community access primarily to solicit or recruit StudiOs Members into competing products, communities, memberships, services, or businesses without authorization from powered by StudiOs.

powered by StudiOs may moderate content and restrict, suspend, or terminate community access when reasonably necessary to protect Members, maintain the intended purpose of the community, or enforce these Terms.

17. Prohibited Content and Conduct

StudiOs may not be used for unlawful activity or unlawful content.

Prohibited material includes child sexual abuse material, unlawful sexual exploitation, nonconsensual intimate imagery, material that unlawfully infringes intellectual property rights, malware, fraudulent material, content intended to facilitate unlawful activity, and other content prohibited by applicable law.

Clients are responsible for ensuring that photographs and other materials stored, transmitted, displayed, or processed through their accounts are lawful and that they possess appropriate rights and permissions.

powered by StudiOs reserves the right to investigate suspected violations, restrict access, remove or disable material where reasonably appropriate, preserve evidence where legally required, and cooperate with lawful governmental requests or reporting obligations.

18. Photographer and Business Responsibilities

Each business using StudiOs remains independently responsible for its relationship with its own customers.

powered by StudiOs is not a party to agreements between a photographer or other business and that business’s customers merely because StudiOs technology or services facilitate those relationships.

The Client remains responsible for customer contracts, model releases, copyright permissions, pricing, sales practices, taxes, refunds owed to its own customers, privacy obligations, image permissions, business licensing, customer communications, advertising claims, and other legal obligations applicable to the Client’s business.

powered by StudiOs does not serve as the Client’s attorney, accountant, tax adviser, employer, agent, copyright administrator, or other regulated professional adviser.

19. Outside Services and Integrations

StudiOs may integrate with or rely upon services, technology, infrastructure, and providers outside the direct control of powered by StudiOs.

These may include payment processors, telecommunications carriers, domain providers, email providers, artificial intelligence providers, social networks, communications services, hosting infrastructure, software integrations, and other technology providers.

powered by StudiOs cannot guarantee the uninterrupted availability, security, policies, pricing, functionality, or continued compatibility of services outside its direct control.

Changes, outages, restrictions, suspensions, API modifications, policy changes, or service failures outside the control of powered by StudiOs may affect StudiOs functionality.

powered by StudiOs will make reasonable efforts where appropriate to address issues within its control but is not responsible for independent acts, omissions, outages, or policy decisions of outside providers.

20. Artificial Intelligence and Automated Systems

StudiOs may provide, incorporate, or use artificial intelligence and automated technology as part of its services.

Artificial intelligence systems may produce incomplete, inaccurate, unexpected, outdated, or inappropriate output.

Clients remain responsible for reviewing AI generated communications, recommendations, content, decisions, and output when appropriate before relying upon, publishing, distributing, or acting upon them.

powered by StudiOs does not guarantee the accuracy of AI generated output.

AI functionality does not constitute legal, accounting, tax, financial, medical, or other regulated professional advice.

21. SMS and Mobile Messaging Terms

powered by StudiOs may operate SMS and MMS messaging programs for individuals who provide appropriate consent.

Depending upon the consent provided, messages may include account information, onboarding communications, appointment information, service notifications, customer support communications, educational announcements, community information, special offers, promotions, discounts, service updates, and other communications from powered by StudiOs.

After receiving your STOP request, powered by StudiOs may send an SMS confirming that you have been unsubscribed.

powered by StudiOs maintains a separate Privacy Policy describing how personal information and mobile information are handled. The powered by StudiOs Privacy Policy is available at https://poweredbystudios.com/privacy_policy.

powered by StudiOs intends to operate its messaging programs in accordance with applicable law and applicable telecommunications industry requirements.

SMS consent is collected when you voluntarily provide your mobile phone number through the chat widget on the StudiOs website and expressly agree to receive text messages from powered by StudiOs at that time.

Mobile opt-in information, including phone numbers and consent records, will not be shared with, sold to, or transferred to any third party or affiliate for marketing or promotional purposes.

22. Email and Electronic Communications

By doing business with powered by StudiOs, you consent to receive transactional electronic communications reasonably necessary to administer your account, purchases, services, billing, security, implementation, and relationship with powered by StudiOs.

Marketing communications will be handled according to applicable law and available unsubscribe mechanisms.

Electronic communications and electronic acceptance may satisfy written notice and signature requirements where permitted by applicable law.

23. Billing Disputes and Chargebacks

Clients should contact powered by StudiOs promptly regarding billing concerns so powered by StudiOs has a reasonable opportunity to investigate and resolve legitimate disputes.

Initiating a payment dispute or chargeback does not automatically cancel a Client’s contractual obligations or establish that a charge was improper.

powered by StudiOs may suspend services while a chargeback or payment dispute is pending when reasonably necessary to protect powered by StudiOs from financial loss or unauthorized continued use.

powered by StudiOs reserves all lawful rights and remedies regarding fraudulent, abusive, or improper payment disputes.

Nothing in these Terms limits a Client’s lawful right to dispute unauthorized or improper charges.

24. Suspension and Termination

powered by StudiOs may suspend or terminate access for material violations of these Terms, nonpayment, unlawful activity, prohibited content, abuse, harassment, security threats, intellectual property violations, fraudulent activity, misuse of StudiOs systems, unauthorized credential sharing, attempts to circumvent access restrictions, or conduct that materially threatens powered by StudiOs, its Members, its partners, its reputation, or its systems.

Where reasonable, powered by StudiOs may provide an opportunity to correct a violation.

Immediate suspension or termination may occur where powered by StudiOs reasonably believes urgent action is necessary to protect people, data, intellectual property, systems, legal compliance, or the StudiOs community.

Termination resulting from Client misconduct does not automatically create a right to refund.

25. Security and Account Responsibility

Clients are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of their account credentials.

Clients must promptly notify powered by StudiOs of suspected unauthorized account access.

Clients are responsible for activity conducted through their accounts to the extent permitted by law.

26. Availability, Maintenance, and Platform Changes

powered by StudiOs does not guarantee uninterrupted or error free service.

Maintenance, updates, outside service outages, telecommunications failures, internet disruptions, security incidents, technical problems, migrations, or circumstances outside powered by StudiOs reasonable control may temporarily affect availability.

powered by StudiOs may perform maintenance, updates, migrations, security changes, improvements, and other technical work reasonably necessary to operate, protect, and improve StudiOs.

powered by StudiOs may modify the design, organization, functionality, integrations, educational offerings, community structure, systems, or other elements of the StudiOs platform as the business and technology evolve.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, POWERED BY STUDIOS’ AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING FROM A CLAIM RELATED TO A PARTICULAR STUDIOS SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT ACTUALLY PAID BY THE CLIENT TO POWERED BY STUDIOS FOR THAT SERVICE DURING THE SIX MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.

These limitations apply only to the extent permitted by applicable law.

29. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless powered by StudiOs and its owner, employees, contractors, instructors, agents, and representatives from third party claims, liabilities, damages, costs, and reasonable attorneys’ fees arising from your unlawful content, infringement of another person’s rights, violation of applicable law, misuse of StudiOs, operation of your own business, or material breach of these Terms.

30. Force Majeure

powered by StudiOs is not responsible for delay or failure caused by circumstances reasonably outside its control, including natural disasters, severe weather, fire, war, terrorism, civil disturbances, governmental action, labor disruptions, widespread telecommunications failures, internet outages, utility failures, infrastructure failures, epidemics, pandemics, or similar events.

Affected obligations and estimated timelines may be reasonably extended for the duration and consequences of such circumstances.

Any legal proceeding permitted to be brought in court shall, to the extent legally permissible, be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction serving Collin County, Texas.

33. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is determined to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent legally permissible or severed as appropriate.

The remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.

34. No Waiver

Failure by powered by StudiOs to enforce a provision of these Terms on one occasion does not constitute a waiver of that provision or powered by StudiOs’ right to enforce it later.

35. Entire Agreement

These Terms, the powered by StudiOs Privacy Policy, applicable checkout disclosures, order forms, subscription terms, and any separate written agreement expressly incorporated into a Client’s purchase constitute the agreement governing the applicable StudiOs relationship.
