These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access and use of ShootProof (“ShootProof”, “we”, or “our”) websites, services, and applications (collectively, the “Services”). Your access to and use of the Services is conditioned upon your acceptance of these Terms. These Terms apply to all sellers, visitors, users, subscribers and others who access or use the Services.
By accessing or using the Services you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you are using the Services on behalf of an organization or entity (“Organization”), then you are agreeing to these Terms on behalf of that Organization and you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind the Organization to these Terms.

If the information you provide is untrue, inaccurate, incomplete or outdated, or we have reasonable grounds to suspect it is, we reserve the right to suspend or terminate the Services. You may only have one registered free ShootProof account at any given time. If we determine that you have multiple ShootProof accounts or are otherwise not in compliance with these Terms, we may close your ShootProof accounts and delete all photographs in the accounts.

If you intend to use ShootProof Pay as a Seller, you are required to agree to our Seller Agreement located at https://shootproof.com/legal/seller-agreement-stripe, which governs your use of the payment processing services. The applicable fees and charges for ShootProof Pay and electronic bank transfers are listed on our fee schedule at https://shootproof.com/legal/shootproof-pay-fee-schedule, which may be update by us from time to time. The Seller Agreement contains additional terms governing Seller’s ShootProof Account and sales. If you are a Seller and fail to abide by our Seller Agreement we may suspend or deactivate your ShootProof account.
Sellers that were previously utilizing the Legacy ShootProof Payments platform that have not yet migrated to ShootProof Pay will continue to be governed by the previous seller agreement located at: https://www.shootproof.com/legal/seller-agreement. The applicable fee schedule can be found at: https://help.shootproof.com/hc/en-us/articles/115008322108.
You may access the Services by a free plan or paid subscription plan. As of March 16, 2022, ShootProof has added a new set of subscription plans for new subscribers (“New Subscription Plan”). If you are already a subscriber prior to March 16, 2022, then you are on ShootProof’s “Classic Subscription Plan”.
Subscription plans, whether free or paid, may be changed by you at any time. If you choose to upgrade your paid subscription (either Classic or New), we will prorate the subscription fee for the remaining balance of your paid subscription, and deduct that amount from the fee for the new paid subscription. You will be charged for the new paid subscription at the time of upgrade, and it will reset your subscription period. If you choose to downgrade your paid subscription plan (either Classic or New), we will prorate the subscription fee for the remaining balance of your paid subscription, and issue a credit for that amount to be applied against the fee for the new paid subscription until the credit is used in full. You will be charged and credited for the new Paid Subscription at the time of downgrade, and it will reset your subscription period.
We offer a 14 day free trial period on Paid Subscriptions. The free trial period will expire at the end of the 14th day from the date of your signup. Upon expiration of the free trial period, you will be offered the option to purchase a Paid Subscription. Should you choose not to subscribe to a Paid Subscription your access to the free trial account will be terminated and your Content may no longer be retrieved, so you should make a backup copy of any such Content.

You may archive and store digital photos using the Services for a fee. Archive Services are paid for in arrears upon the end of each billing cycle. Archive Services renew automatically at the end of each billing cycle unless (i) you fail to pay for any past Archive Services, (ii) all archived photos are deleted or moved back to un-archived status by you prior to renewal, or (iii) you cancel your Archive Services by delivering written notification of your wish to discontinue your Archive Services to support@shootproof.com no less than three (3) calendar days prior to the end of your billing cycle. Fees for the Archive services will be prorated based on the amount of storage utilized by the archived photos during a billing cycle. There is a $1.00 USD minimum fee for the Archive Services per billing cycle.
ShootProof provides a 14 Day Money Back Guarantee. You may cancel your Paid Subscription within 14 days from your signup. After the initial 14 days of your Paid Subscription, we will not provide refunds of subscription fees that you have already paid to us whether as a result of a change of your paid subscription or termination of your paid subscription.
