Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Capture Direct website, and any photography, videography, web development, UI/UX design or related services (together, the "Services") provided by Capture Direct ("we", "us", "our"). By visiting this website, submitting an enquiry, or engaging us for a project, you ("Client", "you") agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Services.

2. Description of Services

Capture Direct provides:

• Photography services, including portraits, events, product and brand shoots;
• Videography services, including brand films, event coverage, short-form and long-form video, and post-production/editing;
• Web development services, including marketing websites, e-commerce storefronts, dashboards and custom web applications; and
• UI/UX design services, including product design, design systems and interactive prototypes.

The specific scope, deliverables, timeline and price for any project are agreed separately in writing (by email or a signed quote/proposal) before work begins. That project-specific agreement, together with these Terms, forms the full agreement between you and us for that project.

3. Eligibility

Our Services are intended for individuals and businesses who are at least 18 years old, or the age of legal majority in their jurisdiction, and who have the authority to enter into a binding agreement. We do not knowingly provide contracted services to, or collect personal information from, children. If you are booking on behalf of a minor (for example, a portrait session), the booking and these Terms are agreed to and accepted by the responsible adult, not the minor.

4. Bookings, Quotes & Payment

A booking is confirmed once a quote has been agreed and, where applicable, a deposit has been received. Unless otherwise stated in your project agreement:

• A non-refundable deposit may be required to secure a shoot date or reserve development time;
• The remaining balance is due on or before delivery of final files, unless a different payment schedule has been agreed in writing;
• Quotes are valid for the period stated in the quote, after which prices may be revised;
• Additional work outside the agreed scope (extra shoot days, extra revision rounds, added site pages or features) will be quoted and billed separately.

5. Client Responsibilities

You agree to:

• Provide accurate information, timely feedback, and any content, assets, logins or access we reasonably need to complete the project;
• Obtain any permissions or releases needed for people, locations, brands or materials you ask us to feature, photograph, film or include on a website;
• Respond to review requests within a reasonable time, since delays on your side may extend the project timeline; and
• Ensure that any content you supply to us (text, images, logos, video clips) does not infringe a third party's rights or applicable law.

6. Intellectual Property & Usage Rights

Photography & Videography

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, Capture Direct retains copyright in the original photographs and video footage we capture and edit. Upon full payment, the Client receives a license to use the final delivered images and videos for the purposes agreed at booking (for example, marketing, social media, print, or a specific campaign). This license does not include the right to resell, sublicense, or claim authorship of the raw or unedited material. We may use non-confidential work from a project in our own portfolio, website and social media for promotional purposes, unless you request otherwise in writing and we agree to that request.

Web Development & UI Design

Upon full and final payment for a web development or design project, ownership of the specific deliverables created for you (final code, design files, and content produced for that project) transfers to the Client, except for any third-party libraries, frameworks, stock assets, fonts or licensed tools used within it, which remain subject to their own licenses. We may retain and reuse general-purpose code, components, and know-how developed during the project that are not specific to your business.

7. Web & UI Deliverables

Web and UI projects include a defined number of revision rounds as stated in the project agreement. Revisions requested after that point, or changes that go beyond the original scope, will be treated as additional work and quoted separately. Once a website is handed off or launched, ongoing maintenance, hosting, domain renewal and third-party service costs are the Client's responsibility unless a separate maintenance agreement is in place.

8. Cancellations, Rescheduling & Refunds

• Cancellations must be made in writing (email is acceptable) as far in advance as possible;
• Deposits are generally non-refundable, as they cover time reserved and preparation already undertaken;
• Rescheduling a shoot or project milestone is subject to availability and may incur an additional fee if requested with short notice;
• Refunds for work already completed and delivered are not provided, except where required by applicable consumer protection law.

9. Prohibited Uses

You agree not to use our Services, website, or any deliverables to: violate any applicable law; infringe on the intellectual property or privacy rights of others; upload or request content that is unlawful, defamatory, obscene or harmful; attempt to gain unauthorized access to our systems; or misrepresent your identity or authority to act on behalf of a business.

10. Third-Party Services & Links

Our Services and website may reference or link to third-party tools, platforms or websites (for example, payment processors, hosting providers, or social platforms). We are not responsible for the content, policies or practices of third parties, and your use of those services is subject to their own terms.

11. Disclaimers & Limitation of Liability

Services are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. While we take care in our craft, we do not guarantee that creative work will meet every subjective expectation, that a website will be completely free of errors, or that third-party platforms we integrate with (hosting, payment, analytics) will operate without interruption. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Capture Direct's total liability for any claim arising from the Services is limited to the amount paid by the Client for the specific project giving rise to the claim. We are not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential damages, including loss of profits or data, arising from use of our Services or deliverables.

12. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold Capture Direct harmless from any claims, damages or expenses arising from your breach of these Terms, your misuse of deliverables, or content you supplied that infringes a third party's rights.

13. Termination

Either party may terminate an active project agreement in writing if the other party materially breaches these Terms and fails to correct that breach within a reasonable period after notice. Fees for work completed up to the point of termination remain payable.

14. Governing Law & Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute arising from these Terms or the Services will first be addressed through good-faith negotiation between the parties, and if unresolved, may be submitted to the courts of competent jurisdiction in Nigeria.

15. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time to reflect changes in our Services or for legal reasons. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will reflect the most recent revision. Continued use of the Services after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
