Interpretation + Other Legal Bits

HOW TO READ THESE TERMS
In these Website Terms of Use, we like to keep things straightforward. That said, a few basic interpretation rules apply:
- Headings are just there to help you navigate and don’t impact the meaning of the actual terms.
- Just because Dariia Noa Studio drafted these Terms doesn’t mean they should be interpreted against us (that wouldn’t be fair, right?).
- When we say something in the singular, it also includes the plural—and vice versa.
- “Person” means more than just a human—it can refer to companies, partnerships, government bodies, and other entities too.
- When we use terms like “including,” “for example,” or “in particular,” those are just examples—not limitations.

NOTIFICATIONS
If we ever need to notify you about anything important relating to these Terms, we’ll do it either by email or directly in your account dashboard (if you have one).


COSTS
Unless we say otherwise in these Terms, each party is responsible for their own legal, accounting, or administrative costs related to this agreement.

NO UNAUTHORIZED TRANSFERS
You can’t assign, transfer, or subcontract any part of your rights or responsibilities under these Terms without getting our written 'okay' first. Your access to this site is personal to you—it’s not something you can sell or pass on.
We, on the other hand, can assign or transfer our rights or obligations under these Terms at any time, without prior notice.

NO WAIVER UNLESS IN WRITING
If Dariia Noa Studio doesn’t immediately enforce a part of these Terms, it doesn’t mean we’ve waived our right to do so later. A waiver must be in writing and signed to be valid, and it only applies to what’s specifically stated.

SEVERABILITY
If a court decides that a part of these Terms is unlawful or unenforceable, that part will be removed—but the rest of the Terms will still stand and be enforceable.

UPDATES TO THESE TERMS
We may update these Website Terms of Use from time to time, and any changes will take effect immediately unless we say otherwise. If you keep using our site after changes are posted, it means you accept the updated terms. We may also, at any time and without notice, change or discontinue parts of the site or services offered.

You can’t make changes to these Terms yourself—only with a written agreement signed by both you and Dariia Noa Studio.

GOVERNING LAW
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, and any disputes will be handled by the courts located in New York County, New York. By using this site, you agree to submit to the jurisdiction of those courts.

Digital Download Terms

When you receive digital files (such as photo galleries, guides, or presets) from Dariia Noa Studio, the following terms apply:
- All digital downloads are for personal use only unless explicitly stated otherwise in a written license agreement.
- You may not modify, sell, redistribute, or share the files with others.
- Download links may expire after 30 days for regular photoshoots, and after 90 days for weddings, so we recommend downloading your files promptly and backing them up safely.
- We are not responsible for lost files once the delivery period has ended. If you need additional access after the link expires, a re-delivery fee may apply.

Payment Terms

All session fees, packages, or product purchases must be paid according to the payment schedule outlined in your booking proposal or invoice.

ACCEPTED FORMS OF PAYMENT:
We accept credit/debit cards, bank transfers, Zelle, and other methods outlined at the time of booking.

DUE DATES:
A non-refundable retainer is typically required to reserve your session date, with the balance due prior to the session or event unless otherwise stated in your agreement.

LATE PAYMENTS:
Any remaining balances unpaid after the due date may be subject to a late fee of 5% per week and may delay delivery of your final gallery or products.

DISPUTED PAYMENTS
We’re committed to open, respectful communication and believe most concerns can be resolved quickly and kindly when addressed directly.

If, for any reason, you believe there is an error or concern with a payment, we ask that you reach out to us in writing within 5 business days of the charge. We’re always happy to clarify or correct anything that’s off.

However, in the event that a payment is disputed or reversed (also known as a chargeback) without prior communication, we reserve the right to:
- Immediately pause or suspend all current and future services,
- Revoke access to any delivered files, galleries, or digital products, and
- Initiate legal steps or collections processes to recover the balance owed, including any additional fees incurred as a result of the dispute.

Please note: Submitting a chargeback without first attempting to resolve the matter directly with us is considered a breach of your service agreement. We take unauthorized chargebacks seriously and may report them to relevant financial institutions or take legal action if necessary.

We genuinely want to provide you with an experience full of ease, transparency, and beauty—so if you ever feel unsure or have a question about your payment, just let us know. We’re here to help.
