Last updated: March 30, 2026Acceptance of Terms
These Terms of Service govern your use of Lens & Light and its services. By accessing and using our website, you agree to be bound by these terms in their entirety. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, you must discontinue use of our platform immediately.
We reserve the right to modify these terms at any time without prior notice. Your continued use of our website following any changes constitutes your acceptance of the new terms. We recommend reviewing this page periodically to stay informed of any updates or modifications that may affect your rights and responsibilities.
Our platform provides photography portfolio services, gallery displays, and related content delivery. These services are provided on an as-is basis, and your use of them is entirely at your own discretion and risk.
User Obligations and Responsibilities
As a user of our platform, you agree to use the service in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of any account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. You must not engage in any unlawful, fraudulent, or harmful conduct.
You agree not to upload, distribute, or display content that infringes upon intellectual property rights, contains malware, or violates any laws. You will not attempt to gain unauthorized access to our systems or interfere with the normal operation of our services.
Users are expected to respect the rights of others and to use our platform solely for lawful purposes. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these obligations without notice or liability.
Intellectual Property Rights
All content, design elements, code, and materials on our platform are protected by intellectual property laws. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, we retain full ownership of all original content, including photography portfolio layouts, gallery designs, and technical implementations.
You grant us a non-exclusive license to use any content you submit to our platform. However, you retain ownership of your original photography and creative work. You are responsible for ensuring that any content you upload does not infringe upon third-party intellectual property rights.
You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, or create derivative works from our platform’s proprietary content without explicit written permission. This includes our gallery frameworks, lightbox overlays, and design systems created for high-resolution image optimization.
Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of our platform. This includes loss of profits, data loss, or business interruption, regardless of the cause.
Our total liability to you for any claims arising from these terms or your use of our services shall not exceed the amount you have paid to us, if any. We make no warranty regarding the uninterrupted or error-free operation of our services.
We do not warrant that our platform will meet your specific requirements or that all content will be accurate, complete, or timely. Users rely on our services at their own risk, and we disclaim all implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose.
Termination and Suspension
We reserve the right to terminate or suspend your access to our platform at any time, with or without cause, and without notice or liability. Termination may occur if you violate these terms, engage in prohibited conduct, or for any reason we deem appropriate.
Upon termination, your right to use our services ceases immediately. We may, at our discretion, delete your account and associated content. Any provisions of these terms that by their nature should survive termination will remain in effect.
If we suspend or terminate your account due to your violation of these terms, you remain responsible for any fees or charges incurred up to the date of suspension. We will not be liable to you or any third party for the consequences of account suspension or termination.
Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
These Terms of Service are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Hong Kong, without regard to its conflict of law principles. Any disputes arising from your use of our platform shall be resolved through binding arbitration rather than litigation.
You agree to submit any claims to arbitration before pursuing legal action. This agreement to arbitrate applies to all claims, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory. By using our platform, you waive your right to trial by jury.
We encourage users to contact us to resolve any disputes informally before initiating formal proceedings. Arbitration proceedings will be conducted in English and shall take place in Hong Kong.
Changes to Terms and Conditions
We may update these Terms of Service from time to time to reflect changes in our services, legal requirements, or other factors. Any changes will be effective immediately upon posting to our website. Your continued use of our platform after such changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms.
We recommend that you review this page regularly to stay informed of any modifications. If you do not agree with any updated terms, you should discontinue use of our services immediately. We will not provide individual notice for minor updates or corrections.
The most current version of these terms will always be available on our website. If there is any conflict between different versions of these terms, the version posted on our website takes precedence.
