Terms of Service

What this site is

The Shot Finder is a directory. We connect people looking for a photographer with photographers who list their work here. We don't employ the photographers listed, don't process payments between clients and photographers, and don't manage bookings — any agreement about pricing, scheduling, deliverables, or payment is strictly between you and the photographer.

Photographer listings

If you're listed as a photographer, you're responsible for making sure your profile — your bio, pricing, specialties, availability, and portfolio — is accurate and that you own or have the right to use every image you upload. We review new listings when they go live, but we don't verify every detail of a listing, and we don't guarantee any photographer will receive inquiries or bookings.

Use of your work. By listing on The Shot Finder, you give us permission to display the photos, videos, name, and business name on your listing, and to share them on The Shot Finder's own social media, website, and marketing (for example, a featured-photographer post on Instagram), always with credit to you (on Instagram, you're tagged in the post). This doesn't transfer ownership; your work stays yours. You can ask us to take down a specific post at any time, and we'll remove it from our own accounts. Removing your listing ends this permission for anything new.

Pro plan

The Pro plan is a $15/month subscription, billed through Stripe, that renews automatically each month until you cancel. You can cancel anytime from your dashboard with "Manage billing" — you keep Pro features until the end of the period you've already paid for, and you won't be charged again. Payments aren't refunded for partial months, except where required by law. Pro improves your placement on the site; it doesn't guarantee inquiries or bookings. If we change the price, we'll tell you before it applies to your subscription.

Verified badge. Pro includes a short interview with The Shot Finder. Once it's done, your listing shows a "Verified by The Shot Finder" badge for as long as your Pro subscription is active. Verified means we've talked with you and checked that your business is real; it isn't a guarantee of any particular result, and we can remove the badge if we learn it no longer fits.

If you reached us through a referral partner's link, a first-party cookie remembers their referral code for up to 60 days so they can be credited for your signup. It doesn't change anything you pay.

Reviews

Reviews should be honest and based on real experience with that photographer. We don't independently verify that a reviewer actually booked or worked with the photographer they're reviewing. Reviews are posted right away. Reviewers must give an email address, which we keep private, and photographers can't review themselves. Photographers can flag a review for us to look at, and we may remove a review at our discretion if it's abusive, fake, or violates these terms.

Acceptable use

Don't use the site to submit false information, impersonate someone else, harass another user, or upload content you don't have the rights to. We can remove content, suspend a listing, or restrict access for anyone who violates these terms.

No warranty

The site is provided "as is." We don't guarantee the accuracy of any listing or review, the availability of the site, or the quality of work from any photographer listed here. Any work you commission from a photographer found through this site is an agreement between you and them, not with us.

Changes

We may update these terms as the site changes. If we do, we'll update the date at the top of this page.
