Terms of Service

Last updated: May 1, 2026

These terms govern your use of this website and any photography services you book with NVAR Studios LLC. By visiting this site or engaging our services, you agree to them.

Booking and payments

To secure a date or session, a non-refundable retainer (typically 25-50% of the total) is required. The balance is due either before or shortly after the shoot — specifics are spelled out in your individual booking contract.

Wedding bookings require a signed contract in addition to the retainer. We'll send you the contract when you confirm a date.

Cancellation and rescheduling

Retainers are non-refundable. They cover our time blocking off your date, scouting your venue, and turning down other bookings.

If you need to reschedule due to weather, illness, or circumstances outside your control, we'll work with you to find a new date at no additional cost (subject to availability).

For weddings cancelled with more than 60 days' notice, additional payments beyond the retainer may be refunded at our discretion. Closer-in cancellations forfeit the full booking amount.

Delivery

Standard delivery timelines:

  • Headshots / portraits: same week to one week
  • Engagement / couples: same week
  • Graduation: same week
  • Commercial: 2 weeks
  • Weddings: 2 weeks for the full gallery; 10-15 photo sneak peek within 48 hours
  • Real estate: 24 hours

Rush turnaround is available for an additional fee — ask during booking.

Image rights and licensing

Photographs we create are the copyrighted property of NVAR Studios LLC under U.S. copyright law. When you book, you receive a personal-use print release (for non-commercial use: prints, framing, social media, gifts to family).

Commercial use (advertising, paid promotion, third-party publication) requires a commercial license. For commercial photography bookings, the license terms are spelled out in your contract.

We reserve the right to use photographs we create for portfolio, marketing, blog, and social media purposes — unless we've agreed in writing not to (typically only for sensitive commercial work).

Client conduct

We expect our clients (and their guests, at events) to treat us and our crew with respect. We reserve the right to terminate a session for behavior we deem abusive, threatening, or unsafe — without refund.

Limitations of liability

In the unlikely event of equipment failure, illness, or other circumstance that prevents us from delivering, our maximum liability is the amount you've paid us. We carry equipment insurance and bring backup gear to every shoot, but we cannot guarantee perfection from all parties involved.

Website use

Photos displayed on this website are protected by copyright. Right-click downloading, screen recording, and unauthorized reproduction of website content is prohibited. If you want to share a photo, please link to the page instead.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms occasionally. The “last updated” date at the top will reflect changes. Material changes will be communicated to active clients directly.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Nebraska. Any disputes will be resolved in Lancaster County, Nebraska.
