1.2. By accessing, browsing, or using the Website, the user (visitor, subscriber, or client) undertakes to fully comply with these Terms, as well as applicable legislation, including the Portuguese Civil Code, Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (General Data Protection Regulation – GDPR), and Law No. 67/98 of 26 October (Personal Data Protection). Users who do not agree with these Terms must refrain from using the Website.
1.3. These Terms apply to all forms of interaction with the Website, including information queries, product purchases, service subscriptions, content posting, or participation in community features.

2. Definitions
2.1. For the purposes of these Terms, the following definitions apply:
a) User: Any individual or legal entity accessing the Website, regardless of purpose;
b) Subscriber: A user who purchases a subscription for access to digital content or exclusive features;
c) Controller: Ricardo da Costa Borges, manager and owner of the Website;
d) User-Generated Content: Comments, posts, suggestions, albums, or other materials submitted by users;
e) Third-Party Supplier: An external entity responsible for the production and delivery of products sold on the Website.

3. Scope and Eligibility
3.1. The Website is intended for individuals over 18 years of age or with legal capacity to enter into binding contracts, pursuant to Article 488 of the Portuguese Civil Code. By using the Website, the user declares compliance with this requirement.
3.2. The Controller reserves the right to amend these Terms at any time, with changes published in a dedicated section of the Website (“Updates”) and effective immediately. Users will be notified via a prominent notice on the Website (e.g., pop-up or banner), and subscribers will be informed by email if the changes directly affect their rights or obligations, ensuring transparency as required by the GDPR.
3.3. Continued use of the Website following the publication of changes constitutes implied acceptance of the revised Terms.
3.4. The Website may not be available in all countries, and it is the user’s responsibility to ensure compliance with applicable local laws.

4. Use of the Website
4.1. The user undertakes to use the Website lawfully, ethically, and in accordance with these Terms, refraining from conduct that may impair its operation, security, or reputation.
4.2. The following activities are expressly prohibited:
a) Engaging in unlawful activities, such as hacking, unauthorized access, or attempts to bypass security measures;
b) Using automated tools (e.g., bots, crawlers) to download content without permission;
c) Posting or transmitting content that infringes third-party rights, including intellectual property, privacy, or reputation;
d) Overloading the Website’s servers with malicious traffic or disruption attempts (e.g., DDoS attacks).
4.3. The Website employs robust technical measures, including multi-factor authentication, login attempt restrictions, and blocking of suspicious IP addresses. Anomalous activities may result in temporary suspension of access, with notification by email, except in cases of extreme severity requiring immediate action.
4.4. The Controller reserves the right to terminate accounts that violate these Terms, notifying the user by email, except in urgent circumstances.

5. Provision of Services
5.1. The Website offers personalized photography, web development, and project management services, contracted through electronic forms available on the platform.
5.2. Services will be performed in accordance with the specifications provided by the client in the form (e.g., location, date, technical requirements). The Controller guarantees delivery of the contracted work but does not warrant specific outcomes, such as levels of satisfaction, profits, or commercial impact.
5.3. A validation process is conducted via email confirmations. The client has 30 calendar days to approve the work, with one revision included. In the absence of a response, an additional 15-day period is granted, after which the project is deemed completed and archived, with no further claims permitted.
5.4. Changes beyond the originally agreed scope will be subject to separate budgeting and communicated to the client prior to execution.
5.5. Upon full payment, the client acquires a non-exclusive licence to use the delivered work. The Controller reserves the irrevocable right to include the work in their portfolio (e.g., photographs, designs), unless otherwise agreed in writing, pursuant to Article 405 of the Portuguese Civil Code.
5.6. Non-payment within the agreed timeframe entitles the Controller to suspend delivery of the work until regularization, with late payment interest applied as per Article 805 of the Portuguese Civil Code.

6.2. Return, exchange, and refund policies are determined by the supplier. Complaints will be manually reviewed and forwarded to the supplier, with no guaranteed resolution timeframe.
6.3. Delivery timelines indicated on the Website are estimates, and the Controller is not liable for delays attributable to the supplier, carriers, or other third parties.
6.4. The user is responsible for providing accurate information (e.g., address, contact details) at the time of purchase. Errors attributable to the user do not entitle them to refunds or replacements, unless decided otherwise by the supplier.

7. Subscriptions
7.1. Subscriptions provide access to exclusive digital content, file downloads, and community features, such as album voting.
7.2. Each subscription includes three free downloads per calendar year; additional downloads incur variable fees (€0.1 to €10, depending on file size or type), published on the Website’s subscriptions page.

7.3. Subscription renewals are manual, with users notified by email prior to the expiry of the active subscription.

Disruptions will be communicated via a notice on the Website and, for prolonged unavailability (exceeding 24 hours), by email to subscribers and posts on official social media channels.
7.6. The Controller reserves the right to suspend or cancel subscriptions for serious breaches of these Terms, notifying the user 48 hours in advance, except in urgent cases.

8.4. Users retain ownership of copyright over their content, granting the Website a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide licence for display, storage, and moderation. Promotional use of content (e.g., showcasing albums) requires explicit consent, requested via a message on the user’s account after submission.
