Services

As stated above, Snappr’s Services make available a marketplace with related technology for Subjects and Photographers to arrange for the matching of a Subject with a Photographer and booking of Photography Services. Snappr itself does not provide any photography-related services. Snappr's responsibilities are limited to: (i) facilitating the availability of the Site, and (ii) serving as the limited agent of each Photographer for the purpose of accepting payments from a Subject on behalf of the Photographer.  There are risks that you assume when dealing with other Users (including those who may be acting under false pretenses). You agree that all of these risks are borne by you, and not Snappr. Snappr does not control the behavior of Users or the quality of the Photography Services. As a result, Snappr does not guarantee or endorse the authenticity, quality, safety, or legality of the Photography Services.

Your Registration Obligations

You may be required to register with Snappr in order to access and use certain features of the Service.  If you choose to register for the Service, you agree to provide and maintain true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself as prompted by the Service’s registration form.  Registration data and certain other information about you are governed by our Privacy Policy. If you are under 13 years of age, you are not authorized to use the Service, with or without registering.  In addition, if you are under 18 years old, you may use the Service, with or without registering, only with the approval of your parent or guardian.

User Account, Password and Security

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and account, if any, and are fully responsible for any and all activities that occur under your password or account. You agree to (a) immediately notify Snappr of any unauthorized use of your password or account or any other breach of security, and (b) ensure that you exit from your account at the end of each session when accessing the Service. Snappr will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with this Section.

Matching

Snappr endeavors to match a Subject with the most suitable Photographer(s) based on information provided by the Subject.  A number of Photographers may be presented as options to a Subject as part of the matching process, in which case it is the Subject’s responsibility to make the final choice as to which Photographer provides Photography Services.   A Subject will be able to book the Photography Services though the Site (“Booking”).  However, even when a Photographer is matched with or chosen by a Subject for a Booking, Snappr reserves the right to change which Photographer actually provides the Photography Services for a particular Booking, in its sole discretion.  Snappr will endeavor to notify the Subject of any such changes in advance.  

Photographer Terms

No Off-Platform Activity

As Photographer, you may not induce Subjects to receive services similar to the Photographer Services off the Site.  You acknowledge and agree that a substantial portion of the compensation Snappr receives for making the Site available to you is collected through the Snappr Fee described in Payment Terms. Snappr only receives this Fee when a Subject and a Photographer pay and receive payment through the Site. Therefore, for 12 months from the time you identify or are identified by any party through the Site (the “Non-Circumvention Period”), you must use the Site as your exclusive method to request, make, and receive all payments for work directly or indirectly with that party or arising out of your relationship with that party.

If you breach this obligation with respect to each Subject-Photographer relationship during the Non-Circumvention Period, you agree that the one or both of the Subject or Photographer shall pay Snappr for each such off-platform relationship by paying an “Off-Platform Activity Penalty” totaling $5,000 USD per off-platform relationship.

To pay the Off-Platform Activity Penalty, you must request instructions by contacting Snappr using the contact details below.

Except if you pay the Off-Platform Activity Penalty, you agree not to circumvent the Payment Terms offered by the Site.

Background Checks

Before a Photographer may perform Services through Snappr, the Photographer is required to  consent to a background check to screen for criminal history that may present a safety risk to Snappr or Subjects.  Photographer accounts will not be eligible for activation if the background check reveals any criminal or other history that may present a safety risk to Service Providers, including, without limitation, violent crimes, felonies, drug-related offenses, sexual offenses, theft or property damage offenses.  Snappr reserves the right to disqualify or refuse service to any Photogrpaher for any reason, unless prohibited by law.

By agreeing to these Terms of Service as a Photographer, I hereby consent to the preparation of background reports regarding me by a third party (e.g. Checkr) and the release of such reports to Snappr and its designated representatives, to assist Snappr in determining my eligibility to use the Services and at any time to assist Snappr to evaluate my continued compliance with these Terms of Service. To this end, I hereby authorize, without reservation, any state or federal law enforcement agency or court, educational institution, motor vehicle record agency, credit bureau or other information service bureau or data repository, or employer to furnish any and all information regarding me to Snappr and/or its agents, and authorize Snappr’s agents to provide such information to Snappr.

The report may include, but is not limited to, criminal and other public records and history; public court records; motor vehicle and driving records; professional disciplinary actions; drug/alcohol test results; and address history, subject to any limitations imposed by applicable federal and state law. This information may be obtained from public record and private sources, including credit bureaus, government agencies and judicial records, and other sources.  

The report will be obtained in compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act. A summary of rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act may be found on the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau website at  http://files.consumerfinance.gov/f/201504_cfpb_summary_your-rights-under-fcra.pdf

Confidentiality

Photographer agrees that certain confidential information (including, without limitation, photography guides, information packages, computer programs, technical drawings, algorithms, know-how, formulas, processes, ideas, inventions (whether patentable or not), schematics and other technical, business, financial, customer and product development plans, forecasts, strategies and information) that Photographer learns or obtains in connection with the Services, constitute “Proprietary Information.”  Photographer will hold in confidence and not disclose or, except in performing the Services, use any Proprietary Information.  Photographer will prevent unauthorized access to or disclosure of the Proprietary Information using at least the same degree of care as Photographer uses to protect its own most sensitive proprietary information (which will not be less than a reasonable degree of care).  However, Photographer shall not be obligated under this paragraph with respect to information Photographer can document is or becomes readily publicly available without restriction through no fault of Developer.  Upon termination and as otherwise requested by Snappr, Photographer will promptly return to Snappr all items and copies containing or embodying Proprietary Information.

Other Photographer Obligations

As a Photographer, you must provide Snappr with any information requested in order for Snappr to match you to a Subject, such as information on your background, experience and skills, sample photos taken by you, contact details and your headshot. You must also provide Snappr with up to date, complete and accurate information regarding the days and times you are available to complete Bookings and must ensure that this information remains accurate and current at all times.  Once you are matched with a Subject you have the right to turn down the job, but Snappr has sole discretion to determine if such refusal will harm your ability to be matched in the future. Snappr may also request that you submit a portfolio of previous works.  Snappr has sole discretion as to which photographers are accepted into the marketplace and we reserve the right to reject any potential Photographer and remove any Photographer from the marketplace for any reason.  Snappr may, but is not required to, conduct background checks on Photographers.

EACH PHOTOGRAPHER IS SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR OBTAINING ALL PERMITS, LICENSES AND OTHER PERMISSIONS REQUIRED TO OFFER OR PROVIDE ANY PHOTOGRAPHY SERVICES OR OTHER PHOTOGRAPHER-PROVIDED SERVICES AND SNAPPR ASSUMES NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR A PHOTOGRAPHER'S FAILURE TO OBTAIN SUCH PERMITS, LICENSES OR PERMISSIONS OR OTHERWISE COMPLY WITH ANY APPLICABLE LAWS, RULES OR REGULATIONS.

Nothing in this Agreement will in any way be construed to constitute Photographer as an agent, employee or representative of the Snappr, but Photographer will perform the Services hereunder as an independent contractor.  Photographer acknowledges and agrees that Photographer is obligated to report as income all compensation received by Photographer pursuant to this Agreement, and Photographer agrees to and acknowledges the obligation to pay all self-employment and other taxes thereon and that he will not be eligible for any employee benefits (nor does he desire any of them) and expressly waives any entitlement to such benefits.  Photographer acknowledges and agrees that he will use his own discretion in performing the tasks assigned, within the scope of work specified by the Company.

You understand and agree that Snappr is neither an insurer nor a contracting agent or employer for you as a Photographer. If a Subject purchases any of your Photography Services, any agreement you enter into with such Subject is between you and the Subject and Snappr is not a party thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Snappr serves as your limited authorized agent for the purpose of accepting payments from Subjects on your behalf and Snappr is responsible for transmitting your portion such payments to you. You acknowledge and agree that, as a Photographer, you are responsible for your own acts and omissions.  Each Photographer understands the fact that Snappr does not offer any medical coverage for bodily harm or injury that may result from providing the Photography Services. Snappr will not reimburse for any medical bills, transportation or loss of wages as a result of the injury or for any accommodations.

Snappr will have the sole discretion to issue a monetary penalty to Photographer if Photographer cancels a shoot with a Subject without reasonable notice, does not show up for a scheduled shoot with a Subject, or otherwise fails to perform obligations through no fault of Snappr or Subject.

Payment Terms

General

Each Subject agrees to pay all applicable fees for Photography Services  and fees for any digital downloads or prints purchased either through a package or after the completion of the Photography Services (“Purchased Prints”) as set forth on the Site (collectively, “Photographer Fees”).   All Photographer Fees are payable in the currency specified on the Site at the time of Booking.  If a Subject requests amended Photography Services, including but not limited to changes to the time, location or type of Photography Services provided (“Variation”), a change fee may be charged.  All change fees are payable before any Variations will be accepted and performed.

Snappr may also charge fees to Subjects for use of the Services (the “Service Fee”). The Service Fee is equivalent to 5% of the Photographer Fees. Snappr reserves the right to change the Service Fee at any time, and will provide Subjects with notice of any change to the Service Fee before such change takes effect by updating the Terms of Service. Changes to the Service Fee will not affect any Booking made prior to the effective date of the fee change.

You shall be responsible for all taxes associated with the Services other than U.S. taxes based on Company’s net income.

Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein or as expressly approved by Snappr in writing in its sole discretion, all payments made are final and non-refundable and the Subject shall not have the right to cancel its purchase for any reason. If you make a payment by credit card or other payment instrument, you represent and warrant to Company that such information is true and that you are authorized to use such payment instrument.  You will promptly update your account information with any changes (for example, a change in your billing address or credit card expiration date) that may occur.  You agree to pay Company the amount that is specified on the Site for Photographer Fees and in accordance with the terms of such fees and purchases and this Terms of Service.

Photographer Payment

Snappr will facilitate bi-monthly payment to a Photographer’s Paypal account the total  Photographer Fees accrued for the Photography Services provided to a Subject by such Photographer during the preceding payment period, less the fee payable to Snappr for referring the Subject(s) to such Photographer as set forth in terms provided to Photographers at the time of their onboarding (“Snappr Fee”).  Snappr has sole discretion to act on behalf of the Subject, and to not pay Photographer Fees, if the Subject reports that the Photography Services were not provided or adequately completed. This may include but is not limited to circumstances where a Photographer did not arrive for a Booking or photos were of insufficient quality for use. Snappr will independently review such cases, seeking input from the Subject and/or the Photographer in its sole discretion, and may decide at its sole discretion to issue a refund to the Subject.

Limited Payment Collections Agent

Each Photographer appoints Snappr as the Photographer’s limited payment collection agent solely for the purpose of accepting the Photographer Fees from the Subject.  Each User agrees that payment of Photographer Fees in respect of a Photographer by a Subject to Snappr, as that Photographer’s limited payment collection agent, shall be considered the same as a payment made directly by that Subject to the relevant Photographer and the Photographer will provide the relevant Photographer Services to the Subject, as outlined on the Site, as if the Photographer had received payment directly.  Snappr, as limited payment collection agent for the Photographer, agrees to facilitate the payment of any Photographer Fees for Photography Services provided, on a bimonthly basis unless otherwise agreed between Snappr and the Photographer.  In the event that Snappr does not remit such amounts, the Photographer will have recourse only against Snappr.

Copyright Complaints

Snappr respects the intellectual property of others, and we ask our users to do the same.  If you believe that your work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, or that your intellectual property rights have been otherwise violated, you should notify Snappr of your infringement claim in accordance with the procedure set forth below.

Snappr will process and investigate notices of alleged infringement and will take appropriate actions under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) and other applicable intellectual property laws with respect to any alleged or actual infringement.  A notification of claimed copyright infringement should be emailed to Snappr’s Copyright Agent at copyright@snappr.com (Subject line: “DMCA Takedown Request”).  You may also contact us by mail or facsimile at: 50 California Street, Suite 1500, San Francsisco, CA, 94111, United States.

To be effective, the notification must be in writing and contain the following information:

  • an electronic or physical signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright or other intellectual property interest;
  • a description of the copyrighted work or other intellectual property that you claim has been infringed;
  • a description of where the material that you claim is infringing is located on the Service, with enough detail that we may find it on the Service;
  • your address, telephone number, and email address;
  • a statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright or intellectual property owner, its agent, or the law;
  • a statement by you, made under penalty of perjury, that the above information in your Notice is accurate and that you are the copyright or intellectual property owner or authorized to act on the copyright or intellectual property owner’s behalf.

Counter-Notice

If you believe that your User Content that was removed (or to which access was disabled) is not infringing, or that you have the authorization from the copyright owner, the copyright owner’s agent, or pursuant to the law, to upload and use the content in your User Content, you may send a written counter-notice containing the following information to the Copyright Agent:

  • your physical or electronic signature;
  • identification of the content that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the content appeared before it was removed or disabled;
  • a statement that you have a good faith belief that the content was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or a misidentification of the content; and
  • your name, address, telephone number, and email address, a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court located within Northern District of California and a statement that you will accept service of process from the person who provided notification of the alleged infringement.

If a counter-notice is received by the Copyright Agent, Snappr will send a copy of the counter-notice to the original complaining party informing that person that it may replace the removed content or cease disabling it in 10 business days. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the content provider, member or user, the removed content may be replaced, or access to it restored, in 10 to 14 business days or more after receipt of the counter-notice, at our sole discretion.

Repeat Infringer Policy

In accordance with the DMCA and other applicable law, Snappr has adopted a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances and at Snappr's sole discretion, users who are deemed to be repeat infringers.  Snappr may also at its sole discretion limit access to the Service and/or terminate the memberships of any users who infringe any intellectual property rights of others, whether or not there is any repeat infringement.

Dispute Resolution By Binding Arbitration

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY AS IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS.

a. Agreement to Arbitrate

This Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration section is referred to in this Terms of Service as the “Arbitration Agreement.”  You agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between you and Snappr, whether arising out of or relating to this Terms of Service (including any alleged breach thereof), the Services, any advertising, any aspect of the relationship or transactions between us, shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than a court, in accordance with the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, except that you may assert individual claims in small claims court, if your claims qualify.  Further, this Arbitration Agreement does not preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies, and such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf.  You agree that, by entering into this Terms of Service, you and Snappr are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action.  Your rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator, not a judge or jury.  The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement.

b. Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief

YOU AND SNAPPR AGREE THAT EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING.  UNLESS BOTH YOU AND SNAPPR AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S OR PARTY’S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CLASS PROCEEDING.  ALSO, THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S).  

To the extent a court or the arbitrator determines that this class action waiver is invalid, for any reason, it shall not be severable from this Terms and the class or collective claims will be considered excluded claims that must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction Notwithstanding any other clause contained in this arbitration provision, any claim that all or part of the class action waiver is invalid, unenforceable void or voidable may be determined only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator.  The class action waiver shall be severable when a dispute is filed as an individual action and severance is necessary to ensure that the individual action proceeds in arbitration.

c. Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution

Snappr is always interested in resolving disputes amicably and efficiently, and most customer concerns can be resolved quickly and to the customer’s satisfaction by contacting Snappr using the contact details below. If such efforts prove unsuccessful, a party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”).  The Notice to Snappr should be sent to: 50 California Street, Suite 1500, San Francisco, CA, 94111, United States (“Notice Address”).  The Notice must (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought.  If Snappr and you do not resolve the claim within sixty (60) calendar days after the Notice is received, you or Snappr may commence an arbitration proceeding.  During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by Snappr or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or Snappr is entitled.

d. Arbitration Procedures

Arbitration will be conducted by a neutral arbitrator in accordance with the American Arbitration Association’s (“AAA”) rules and procedures, including the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes (collectively, the “AAA Rules”), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement.  For information on the AAA, please visit its website, http://www.adr.org.  Information about the AAA Rules and fees for consumer disputes can be found at the AAA’s consumer arbitration page, http://www.adr.org/consumer_arbitration.  If there is any inconsistency between any term of the AAA Rules and any term of this Arbitration Agreement, the applicable terms of this Arbitration Agreement will control unless the arbitrator determines that the application of the inconsistent Arbitration Agreement terms would not result in a fundamentally fair arbitration.  The arbitrator must also follow the provisions of these Terms of Service as a court would.  All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including, but not limited to, issues relating to the scope, enforceability, and arbitrability of this Arbitration Agreement.  Although arbitration proceedings are usually simpler and more streamlined than trials and other judicial proceedings, the arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual under the Terms of Service and applicable law.  Decisions by the arbitrator are enforceable in court and may be overturned by a court only for very limited reasons.

Unless Snappr and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in a reasonably convenient location for both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances.  If the parties are unable to agree on a location, the determination shall be made by AAA.  If your claim is for $10,000 or less, Snappr agrees that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules.  If your claim exceeds $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules.  Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based.

e. Costs of Arbitration

Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees (collectively, the “Arbitration Fees”) will be governed by the AAA Rules, unless otherwise provided in this Arbitration Agreement.  If the value of the relief sought is $75,000 or less, at your request, Snappr will pay all Arbitration Fees.  If the value of relief sought is more than $75,000 and you are able to demonstrate to the arbitrator that you are economically unable to pay your portion of the Arbitration Fees or if the arbitrator otherwise determines for any reason that you should not be required to pay your portion of the Arbitration Fees, Snappr will pay your portion of such fees.  In addition, if you demonstrate to the arbitrator that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, Snappr will pay as much of the Arbitration Fees as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive.  Any payment of attorneys’ fees will be governed by the AAA Rules.

f. Confidentiality

All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision, or award by the arbitrator, will be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties.

g. Severability

If a court or the arbitrator decides that any term or provision of this Arbitration Agreement (other than the subsection (b) titled “Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief” above) is invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree to replace such term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Arbitration Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified.  If a court or the arbitrator decides that any of the provisions of subsection (b) above titled “Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief” are invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Arbitration Agreement shall be null and void.  The remainder of the Terms of Service will continue to apply.

h. Future Changes to Arbitration Agreement

Notwithstanding any provision in this Terms of Service to the contrary, Snappr agrees that if it makes any future change to this Arbitration Agreement (other than a change to the Notice Address) while you are a user of the Services, you may reject any such change by sending Snappr written notice within thirty (30) calendar days of the change to the Notice Address provided above.  By rejecting any future change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute between us in accordance with the language of this Arbitration Agreement as of the date you first accepted these Terms of Service (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms of Service).

Termination

You agree that Snappr, in its sole discretion, may suspend or terminate your account (or any part thereof) or use of the Service and remove and discard any content within the Service, for any reason, including, without limitation, for lack of use or if Snappr believes that you have violated or acted inconsistently with the letter or spirit of these Terms of Service. Any suspected fraudulent, abusive or illegal activity that may be grounds for termination of your use of Service, may be referred to appropriate law enforcement authorities. Snappr may also in its sole discretion and at any time discontinue providing the Service, or any part thereof, with or without notice. You agree that any termination of your access to the Service under any provision of this Terms of Service may be effected without prior notice, and acknowledge and agree that Snappr may immediately deactivate or delete your account and all related information and files in your account and/or bar any further access to such files or the Service. Further, you agree that Snappr will not be liable to you or any third party for any termination of your access to the Service.

User Disputes

General

These Terms of Service constitute the entire agreement between you and Snappr and govern your use of the Service, superseding any prior agreements between you and Snappr with respect to the Service. You also may be subject to additional terms and conditions that may apply when you use affiliate or third party services, third party content or third party software. These Terms of Service will be governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to its conflict of law provisions. With respect to any disputes or claims not subject to arbitration, as set forth above, you and Snappr agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located within San Francisco County, California. The failure of Snappr to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Service will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of these Terms of Service is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of these Terms of Service remain in full force and effect. You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Service or these Terms of Service must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred. A printed version of this agreement and of any notice given in electronic form will be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to this agreement to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form. You may not assign this Terms of Service without the prior written consent of Snappr, but Snappr may assign or transfer this Terms of Service, in whole or in part, without restriction. The section titles in these Terms of Service are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. Notices to you may be made via either email or regular mail.
