Terms of Use
Version 2026-10-20.3 · Last updated October 20, 2026
These terms cover your use of the Gold Lens Photography website and client portal. By creating a portal account you agree to them.
Your account
Keep your password private and tell us right away if you think someone else has used your account. You're responsible for activity under your account. Please give accurate contact information.
Your photos
Photos in your private gallery are for you. Gold Lens Photography keeps the copyright in the images and grants you a personal-use license to download, print and share them (for example on social media). Commercial use or resale needs written permission. Please don't edit or apply filters to the images and then present them as Gold Lens work. Any session agreement you sign with us controls if it differs from these terms.
Payments and booking
Payments. A deposit of 50% of your package price is paid at booking (online through Stripe, our payment processor, when available). The remaining balance is due at the time of service and is paid in person by cash or another method Faythe accepts (for example Venmo or check); it is not charged through the website. Your booking, deposit, balance, rescheduling and cancellation are governed by the Gold Lens Client Agreement; the points below summarize it.
Booking online. When you book through the website you choose a package, a date and (for portrait-type sessions) a start time. You also sign the Gold Lens Client Agreement, which governs your session together with these terms. If they conflict, the Client Agreement controls.
Deposit. A deposit of 50% of the package price, rounded to the cent (for example $162.50 on a $325 session or $2,250 on a $4,500 wedding), reserves your date. Faythe may set a different deposit for a specific package; the amount shown when you book applies. The deposit is non-refundable and is applied to your total. The remaining balance is due at the time of service.
Holds and confirmation. When online deposits are available, your time is held for 30 minutes while you complete payment. If payment isn't completed, the hold is released. Your booking is confirmed once the deposit payment succeeds. Deposits are processed by Stripe on Gold Lens Photography's behalf; we never see or store your full card number.
Requests. When online deposits aren't available, you can request a date instead. A request isn't a confirmed booking until Faythe confirms it with you, and no payment is taken online.
Rescheduling. If you need to change your date, contact Faythe as soon as possible. One reschedule is usually possible, subject to availability; your deposit carries over to the new date. Weather reschedules for outdoor sessions are at Faythe's discretion and don't forfeit your deposit.
Cancellations. You can cancel from your portal or by contacting Faythe. If you cancel, the deposit is not refunded. If Faythe has to cancel and can't offer a suitable new date, she will refund any amount you paid.
Prices. Package prices and deposits may change, but the price confirmed for your booking won't.
Gallery availability
We try to keep galleries available, but please download your photos and keep your own copies. We may remove galleries after a reasonable period, and we are not responsible for loss of files stored on the portal.
Acceptable use
Don't try to access other people's galleries or accounts, interfere with the site, or upload anything unlawful through messages.
Disclaimer and limits
The website and portal are provided "as is." To the extent the law allows, Gold Lens Photography isn't liable for indirect or incidental damages from using the website.
Closing your account
You can ask us to close your account and delete your data at any time. We may suspend accounts that break these terms.
Changes
If these terms change, we will update the version date above and may ask you to agree again.
