TERMS OF SERVICE

(AnomalousDesigns.com and photos.anomalousdesigns.com)

Last updated: July 28, 2026 | Effective date: July 28, 2026

1. Who We Are & Acceptance

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of AnomalousDesigns.com and photos.anomalousdesigns.com ("Anomalous Photos"), together with all related pages, features, client galleries, booking tools, and services (collectively, the "Services"), operated by Anomalous Designs LLC ("Anomalous Designs," "AD," "we," "us," or "our"), a limited liability company based in Boise, Idaho, USA.

By accessing or using the Services, creating an account, booking a session, opening a client gallery link, or making a purchase, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Services. If you are using the Services on behalf of a business, you represent that you are authorized to bind that business.

2. Our Services

Anomalous Designs is a creative studio offering brand identity, engineering, fabrication, photography, web/software, marketing, consulting, and education services. Anomalous Photos is our photography platform, which includes a public portfolio (artist pages, collection grids, and image viewing) and private client galleries (accessed through unique links, with photo-selection tools, checkout, and downloads).

Detailed scope, deliverables, timelines, and pricing for any project or shoot are set out in a separate proposal, invoice, or service agreement. If a separate signed agreement conflicts with these Terms, the signed agreement controls for that engagement.

3. Eligibility & Minors

The Services are intended for users that are at least 18 years old, or the age of majority in their jurisdiction. The Services are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. See our Privacy Policy for details. If a minor is to be photographed, a parent or legal guardian must book, consent, and sign any applicable release.

4. Accounts & Client Gallery Access

Some features require an account or a private gallery link. Client galleries are accessed through unique token links that are personal to you. You are responsible for keeping your gallery link and any login credentials confidential, and for all activity that occurs through them. Do not share your private gallery link with unauthorized parties. Notify us promptly if you believe your link or account has been compromised. We may suspend or terminate access for violations of these Terms.

5. Booking & Appointments (Cal.com)

Appointments — including 15-minute headshot sessions and business photography shoots — are booked through our scheduling provider, Cal.com. When you book, you agree to provide accurate information and to the following:

• Headshot campaign: A headshot session is offered for a flat fee of $50 for a 15-minute session. Payment is collected in full at the time of booking through Stripe.
• Free business photography campaign: Qualifying Treasure Valley businesses may receive a complimentary photo shoot with no obligation to purchase. After the shoot, photos are offered on a tiered pay-per-photo basis; you are under no obligation to buy, but all images remain the property of Anomalous Designs (see Section 8).
• Cancellations & rescheduling: Please give at least 24 hours' notice to reschedule or cancel a booked session. Cancellations or reschedule requests made with less than 24 hours' notice may forfeit any fee paid.
• Late arrivals: Sessions are time-limited. If you arrive more than 30 minutes late, your session will be automatically canceled and no refund will be issued.

We may reschedule for weather, equipment, illness, or other circumstances beyond our control. Your use of Cal.com is also subject to Cal.com's own terms and privacy policy.

6. Payments & E-Commerce (Stripe)

Payments for sessions, photo purchases, and other services are processed by our third-party payment processor, Stripe, Inc. By making a payment, you agree to Stripe's Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. We do not receive or store your full payment card number; card data is handled directly by Stripe.

• You agree to pay all fees and applicable taxes for the products or services you purchase.
• Prices are in US dollars unless stated otherwise.
• You represent that you are authorized to use the payment method you provide.
• Photo prices, including tiered pay-per-photo pricing under the business campaign, are as displayed at the time of purchase.
• We reserve the right to correct pricing errors and to refuse or cancel orders in cases of suspected fraud or error.

7. Digital Products, Downloads & Refunds

Purchased photos are delivered as digital files through expiring, signed download links. You are responsible for downloading and backing up your files before links expire. We can re-issue an expired link for a reasonable period on request, but we do not guarantee indefinite availability.

Because photographs are digital goods delivered electronically, all sales are final and non-refundable once a download has been made available or a signed download link has been issued, except in cases of duplicate charges or verified technical error. Headshot campaign session fees are also non-refundable once collected, including where a session is auto-canceled due to a late arrival as described in Section 5. If you experience a problem with a download, contact us and we will work in good faith to resolve it.

8. Intellectual Property & Image Licensing

This section is central to how photography works with Anomalous Designs. Please read it carefully.

8.1 Our ownership. Anomalous Designs LLC owns and retains all copyright and other intellectual property rights in all photographs, images, and creative works we produce, including all photos taken during client sessions (whether or not you purchase them), all previews, and all portfolio content. Under US copyright law, the photographer owns the copyright in an image by default; nothing in these Terms transfers copyright to you unless we expressly agree in a separate signed writing.

8.2 Our right to use photos. Anomalous Designs retains the full right to use, reproduce, display, publish, and distribute any photos we take — including client session photos — for our own marketing, portfolio, promotional, educational, and business purposes, across any media now known or later developed. By booking a session or being photographed, you grant us this right. If a session involves identifiable individuals, we may ask you (or a parent/guardian for a minor) to sign a separate model release; where you decline, you should tell us in writing and we will discuss reasonable limits.

8.3 What you receive. When you purchase or select photos, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use those specific purchased photos for the purpose described at checkout or in your service agreement (for example, personal use, or business/commercial use for headshots and business photography). Unless your agreement says otherwise:

• The license covers only the specific images you purchase or select — not the full set of images from your session.
• You may not sub-license, resell, or redistribute the images as stock or to third parties.
• You may not claim authorship or remove our copyright or watermark information.

8.4 Re-sharing published content. You may repost and share any image that Anomalous Designs has already published publicly (for example, on our portfolio or social media), provided you do not alter it in a misleading way, do not remove any credit or watermark, and do not use it to imply a false endorsement. We appreciate credit to "Anomalous Designs" when you share.

8.5 Watermarked previews. Preview images shown before purchase are watermarked and are provided for selection only. You may not remove, crop out, or obscure watermarks, screenshot and use previews commercially, or otherwise use un-purchased images. Removing copyright management information (including watermarks) may violate the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).

8.6 Website content. All other content on the Services — including text, logos, the "Anomalous Designs" and "Anomalous Photos" names, graphics, code, and design — is owned by Anomalous Designs or its licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. You may not copy, scrape, reproduce, or create derivative works without our written permission.

9. Copyright Complaints (DMCA)

We respect intellectual property rights. If you believe content on our Services infringes your copyright, contact us at Howdy@AnomalousDesigns.com with: (a) identification of the copyrighted work; (b) identification of the allegedly infringing material and its location; (c) your contact information; (d) a statement of good-faith belief that the use is unauthorized; (e) a statement, under penalty of perjury, that your notice is accurate and you are authorized to act; and (f) your physical or electronic signature.

10. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Use the Services for any unlawful purpose or in violation of these Terms;
• Access private galleries or links you are not authorized to access;
• Copy, download, scrape, or redistribute images (including watermarked previews) except as permitted;
• Attempt to bypass watermarks, access controls, expiring links, or security features;
• Upload malicious code, spam, or infringing/unlawful content;
• Harass, abuse, or harm others, or misrepresent your identity;
• Interfere with or disrupt the Services or the servers/networks that host them.

11. Third-Party Services & Links

The Services rely on and link to third-party providers, including Base44 (hosting/platform), Stripe (payments), Cal.com (booking), and Kit/ConvertKit (email). Our related Shopify store at Shop.AnomalousDesigns.com operates under its own separate Shopify-provided terms and privacy policy. We are not responsible for the content, terms, or practices of third-party services, and your use of them is at your own risk and subject to their terms.

12. Disclaimers

THE SERVICES AND ALL CONTENT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. We do not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free, that download links will always be available, or that colors/output will exactly match your display or expectations. Creative and artistic services are inherently subjective; we do not warrant that you will be satisfied with a particular artistic result.

13. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANOMALOUS DESIGNS LLC AND ITS OWNERS, MEMBERS, AND CONTRACTORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES. OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICES WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US FOR THE SERVICE GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED US DOLLARS ($100). Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of these may not apply to you.

14. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Anomalous Designs LLC from any claims, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your misuse of the Services, your violation of these Terms, your violation of any law or third-party right, or your use of purchased images outside the license granted.

15. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Idaho, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. You agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to the Terms or the Services will be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Ada County, Idaho, and you consent to their jurisdiction. Before filing any claim, you agree to first contact us to attempt to resolve the dispute informally.

16. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date and, where appropriate, provide additional notice. Your continued use of the Services after changes take effect means you accept the revised Terms.

17. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Services at any time for violation of these Terms or for any lawful reason. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, and governing law) will survive.
