REFUND POLICY

My whole process is designed to make sure that you are 100% satisfied with your photos. This is why I take great time and care planning and designing how my client’s photos will look- a process of which you are an active participant.This is also why, once the design process is finalized, I take a test shot to help us make any adjustments necessary before moving further.

If you are not 100% satisfied with the test shot, I’ll refund the advance, at your request, and we part ways with no hurt feelings.

Once you’ve approved the test shot and the styling has been set, no refunds are possible. I will, however, be available to work with you for adapting the shots to your liking in post-processing.

DISCLAIMER

 

DISCLAIMERS

BLOG DISCLAIMER Thanks for visiting! My blog  is a resource guide for educational and informational purposes only for  anyone  who likes to read my stories.  To write my articles, I use my experiences, the experiences of others and various other resources including but not limited to the wild wild web, the Encyclopedia Britannica (what? you didn’t buy the extended library collection of 1989?) and/or the teachings of Buddha (Kidding. But maybe not.) That said, my advice doesn’t come with any guarantees. It is definitely not a substitute for working with a professional in any of the areas that I write about . By visiting this site, you’re essentially signing a contract that says that you understand that I make no guarantees, and you won’t try to sue me or report me to whoever it is you may  report me. Because that would be awkward. And so not nice!

PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONS I love my products, and I hope you do, too. That said, sometimes I might slip up, and sometimes, errors happen. Things like pricing or merchandise descriptions get mixed up, and then I look bad. While that stinks, what’s most important to me is that you’re happy. So while I can’t guarantee that all information on the site is always 100% accurate at any given time, if you do notice a mistake? Please don’t hesitate to contact me and let me know. I may not be able to guarantee that my products will be what you want them to be, but I can guarantee that I’ll go out of my way to give you the best customer service I can to remedy the situation

AFFILIATE LINKS

I sometimes include affiliate links in my blog posts and material. This means that if you purchase something from them, I get a small commission. This is a business page, and for this reason you should assume that all links are affiliate links. That being said, I want to make clear that:

1-  The reason I am an affiliate of some programs is that, after careful consideration and lots of internal work,  I have come the deeply personal conclusion that the commission payment is an exchange of energy and accepting it signals willingness to receive, from my part. I see myself as a channel of wealth: money that comes to me, then goes out to help others every time I spend it. You may not agree with this view, which is why I have the following additional policies in place for myself  and my business (please keep reading).

2- I only recommend products I have personally tried and loved, and that I believe may be useful and good for you (or at least for some of you).

3-When recommending a product I always explain why and how it worked for me. Just saying it’s great is not enough, I want you to know why and how it changed me so that you can see whether it is the right product for you or not.

4-  It is entirely your decision whether to support my business in this way or not, and you are free to do either according to your own set of values. If you’d rather not support my business in this way, feel free to google the information I provide you (all resources I recommend are good ones.

One thing I have discovered during my time as an entrepreneur is that this is a deeply personal journey. With every decision we make a statement about who we are, who we want to be and what kind of world we want to live in. I want to live in a World where we welcome all sources of prosperity and abundance, for as long as these sources hold sacred respect to all sentient beings.  I want to live in a world where we can trust each other’s word because we know that our words are always used in an honorable way. I want to live in a world where we have contracts to regulate our relationships, where we sign contracts and write legal terms not out of fear but out of assertiveness about who we are, what we value and what can be expected when interacting with us. I call this” ayurvedic law”, because I have always seen the law as an instrument for the prevention of conflict. I believe my policy is coherent with this vision of the future.
