Terms & Conditions

Who you’re dealing with

This site is operated by Tanner Stutz, a sole proprietor trading as Stutz Media, in New York, United States. Using the site, or buying from it, means you accept these terms. If you don’t, please don’t use it.

The photographs

Every photograph on this site is my original work and remains my property. They are protected by copyright under United States and international law. You may look at them, and you may share a link to a page.

You may not, without my written permission:

• copy, download, screenshot or save an image for any use beyond your browser’s own temporary cache;
• reproduce, print, publish or redistribute an image, in print or online;
• use an image commercially, including in advertising, on merchandise, or as part of a product;
• crop, edit, filter, or remove a watermark, credit or caption from an image;
• use an image, or any content from this site, to train a machine learning or generative AI model.

Buying a print buys you the physical object. It does not transfer the copyright and does not grant a licence to reproduce the image. Licensing for commercial use is a separate arrangement — ask me and we’ll sort it out.

“Stutz Media” and the site’s design, text and layout are likewise mine.

Ordering a print

Prints are made to order. Nothing is held in stock; each one is produced after it is paid for.

Prices, sizes, finishes, shipping costs and the expected delivery window are shown on the print’s own page and confirmed at checkout. That is the authoritative version — it is what you agree to when you pay. Sales tax is calculated at checkout and added to the listed price.

Placing an order is an offer to buy, which I accept when the order is confirmed. If something is listed at an obviously wrong price, or is no longer available, I may decline the order and refund you in full rather than fulfil it. Colour varies slightly between screens and paper; a small difference between what you saw and what arrives is a property of printing, not a fault.

Risk in a print passes to you on delivery. Payments are processed by Stripe and are also subject to Stripe’s terms.

Returns and refunds

Because every print is made individually for the person who ordered it, orders can’t be returned for a change of mind, and can’t be cancelled once production has started.

That is the only restriction. If your print:

• arrives damaged,
• arrives with a printing or material defect, or
• is not what you ordered — wrong image, wrong size, wrong finish

then tell me within 14 days of delivery through the contact page, with your order number and a photograph of the problem, and I will replace it or refund it in full, including shipping. Your choice, not mine.

If an order never arrives, tell me and I’ll chase it or remake it. Refunds go back to the card that paid, and usually take a few business days to appear once issued.

Nothing here limits any right you have under consumer law that can’t be limited by agreement.

Private client galleries

Some galleries are private and opened with a passcode. That passcode is for you and the people you’re sharing the photographs with — please don’t publish it. I may change a passcode or take a gallery down after a reasonable period; if a gallery matters to you long-term, download what you need or tell me and I’ll keep it up.

Where a separate shoot agreement covers the same photographs, that agreement takes precedence over this page.

Using the site

Please don’t:

• try to break into, disrupt, or overload the site, or probe it for vulnerabilities;
• scrape it, or run automated tools against it, including to collect images;
• use the contact form to send spam, or anything unlawful or abusive;
• attempt to access a private gallery, or the admin area, without permission.

If you think you’ve found a security problem with this site, I would genuinely rather hear about it than not — please tell me.

The site itself

I work to keep the site accurate and available, but it is provided as it is. I don’t promise it will be uninterrupted or error-free, and content may change without notice. Links to other sites aren’t endorsements of them and I’m not responsible for what’s on them.

To the fullest extent the law allows, I’m not liable for indirect or consequential losses arising from your use of this site, and my total liability in connection with any order is limited to what you paid for it. This doesn’t exclude liability for anything that can’t lawfully be excluded, including fraud or personal injury caused by negligence.

Copyright complaints

If you believe something on this site infringes your copyright, get in touch through the contact page with enough detail to identify the work and where it appears, and I will investigate and remove anything infringing.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, and any dispute belongs in the state or federal courts located in New York. If part of these terms turns out to be unenforceable, the rest still stands.

Changes

I may update these terms; the date at the top changes when I do. The version in force for an order is the one published when you placed it. How I handle your information is covered separately in the privacy policy.
