4. Disclaimers

The Site and our services are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without any warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including, but not limited to, implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. Luminous Lens Studio does not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted or error-free, that defects will be corrected, or that the Site or the server that makes it available are free of viruses or other harmful components.

Luminous Lens Studio makes no representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, about the completeness, accuracy, reliability, suitability, or availability with respect to the Site or the information, products, services, or related graphics contained on the Site for any purpose. Any reliance you place on such information is therefore strictly at your own risk.

While we strive to provide high-quality photography services, Luminous Lens Studio does not guarantee specific results. The outcome of photography sessions can be influenced by various factors, including environmental conditions, client cooperation, and unforeseen circumstances. We are committed to working closely with our clients to achieve their desired results but cannot guarantee specific outcomes.

5. Limitations of Liability

In no event shall Luminous Lens Studio, its officers, directors, employees, or agents be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including without limitation, loss of profits, data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses, resulting from (i) your use or inability to use the Site or our services; (ii) any unauthorized access to or use of our servers and/or any personal information stored therein; (iii) any interruption or cessation of transmission to or from the Site; (iv) any bugs, viruses, Trojan horses, or the like that may be transmitted to or through our Site by any third party; (v) any errors or omissions in any content or for any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of your use of any content posted, emailed, transmitted, or otherwise made available via the Site, whether based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence), or any other legal theory, and whether or not Luminous Lens Studio is advised of the possibility of such damages.

Our liability to you for any cause whatsoever, and regardless of the form of the action, will at all times be limited to the amount paid, if any, by you to Luminous Lens Studio for the services giving rise to the claim. Because some states or jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or the limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, in such states or jurisdictions, our liability shall be limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

Luminous Lens Studio is not responsible for any loss or damage to personal belongings during photography sessions. Clients are responsible for the safety and security of their personal items while on location or in our studio. We recommend leaving valuable items at home or securing them appropriately.
