Terms Related to Specific Services

For a complete list of Service Package contents please visit www.betterlistingsphotography.com.

Better Listings reserves the right to process more or less than the specified number of photos in each package, dependent upon the unique situation of each property.

Scheduling

After your order is placed, a Better Listings representative will contact you either via telephone or email to confirm the details of your reservation.

Better Listings is not liable in any way if Better Listings cannot get in touch with you if you provided inaccurate contact information during the registration process or if you are unavailable or for any other reason.

If neither an agent nor property owner is present at the time the Services are scheduled to be performed, and no prior requests related to the expected photo shoot selection has been made, all photos taken will be at the discretion of the photographer.

It is always the property owner’s and/or agent’s responsibility to prepare the property for the photo shoot, and Better Listings is not responsible for homes that are not in ‘show-quality’ condition at the time of the photo shoot. Better Listings shoots all photos of the property in “as-is” condition except for minor changes made to the properties lights and window coverings to enhance photo quality.

Unless access to the property is otherwise arranged, an agent or property owner must be present at the time of the shoot. Better Listings is not responsible for inaccessible properties and reserves the right to charge cancellation, reschedule, reshoot, or travel fees as a result of property inaccessibility.

Distribution of Services and Deliverables

After a shoot is completed and the photos are processed, the photos and videos will be uploaded to the Website. An email containing a link to the photos and Services will be sent to the contact on file. Better Listings is not responsible for emails not received but will make an attempt to send Deliverables to an alternative email address if notified that the initial email was not received.

No refunds of fees will be given if a listing sells between the time the photos are taken and the time they are distributed to the agent and/or property owner.

Internet Display

You agree that all photos and images displayed on the internet are the property of Better Listings.  You also acknowledge and agree that all Deliverables that are uploaded to the internet may be available for public viewing. If an agent or property owner’s contact information is attached to a Deliverable or listing, it may be displayed online for public viewing.

Better Listings reserves the right to send your property information and Deliverables to other real estate websites and portals in order to generate more exposure for your listings. If you do not wish for such distribution, you must request that we do not send your listing data to any third parties when requesting the Services.

Terms of Agreement

This Agreement will remain in full force and effect while you use the Website or any Services and/or have an account with us or are a registered user.  Better Listings may terminate this Agreement, or decline to provide certain Services, at any time if you are not in compliance with all the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including payment obligations, or as otherwise provided in this Agreement.  Unless you and Better Listings have agreed in writing to a different termination procedure, you may terminate this Agreement or your account registration at any time, for any reason, by (a) following the instructions via the Website using the account settings, or (b) by sending Better Listings a written notice of termination to Better Listings Termination, 221 Silver Creek Road, Greer, SC 29650; or (c) by sending an email notice of termination to info@betterlistingsphotography.com.  Even after this Agreement is terminated, all payment obligations and any terms that by their nature should survive termination of this Agreement shall be deemed to survive such termination. With respect to Confidential Information that constitutes a trade secret under applicable law, the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement will survive termination until, if ever, such Confidential Information loses applicable trade secret protection.

Fees and Payment

You agree to pay us the fees in effect for each Service selected by you at the time you request the Service. If fees for a particular Service are not listed on the Website or already agreed between us, contact Better Listings for more information. You agree to pay all fees in full without any setoff, recoupment, counterclaim, deduction, debit, or withholding for any reason.  All taxes which may be imposed on any transaction under this Agreement are your responsibility (other than taxes based upon our income) and will be paid directly by you.   All pricing for Services is subject to change at any time.  All late payments will bear interest at the lesser of the rate of 1.5% per month or the highest rate permissible under applicable law, calculated daily and compounded monthly. You will also reimburse us for all expenses incurred by us in collecting any late payments from you, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees. In addition to all other remedies available under this Agreement or at law, we will be entitled to immediately suspend your account or Services without prior notice to you if you fail to pay any amounts when due.

Better Listings will bill you for requested Services and Additional Fees through an online account (your “Billing Account”) at the completion of each Service.   If you and Better Listings have not agreed in writing to a different invoicing and payment process, you agree to pay Better Listings for all fees for Services requested by you or other persons (including your agents) via your Billing Account.  You agree to enter into your Billing Account valid payment card information and you authorize Better Listings to charge such payment card for all fees (your “Payment Method”).  You agree to make payment using your selected Payment Method for each Service and additional fees or expenses agreed or incurred, including but not limited to, charges for cancellation, reshoots, travel fees, ‘no show’ fees and/or upgrades to your chosen Services elected after the initial order was placed (collectively “Additional Fees” as further defined below).  If a valid Payment Method is not in the Billing Account or payment is not otherwise agreed or received by us when a Service is requested, the Service will not be performed.

We will bill your payment card upon completion of Services for all charges and Services unless otherwise agreed between us in writing prior to the completion of the Service.   You authorize Better Listings and the processor of your Payment Method to (a) initiate and pay recurring charges for all fees payable to Better Listings until such time as this Agreement is terminated and (b) pay charges for any Additional Fees that you may incur under the Agreement.  You further represent and warrant that (i) your Payment Method and the payment card information you supply to us is true, correct and complete, (ii) you are duly authorized to use such Payment Method to pay all fees, including recurring fees and Additional Fees, and (iii) payments made and charges incurred by you will be honored.   If Better Listings does not receive payment from your Payment Method, you agree to pay all amounts due on your Billing Account upon demand via an alternative method.

Better Listings will retain the Payment Method information as part of your Billing Account, as a convenience for you to pay recurring fees and for Services over time.   We will use commercially reasonable security policies and procedures and security tools with respect to your Payment Method information designed to prevent unauthorized access to your Payment Method.   However, it is impossible for us to maintain impervious security and we are not responsible for malicious attacks or theft that result in your Payment Method information being accessed by another party without our consent.

Additional Fees

Better Listings reserves the right to charge additional fees due to cancellations, rescheduling, travel time, and reshoots.

Cancellations or Rescheduling will be honored for a full refund up to 5:00pm (in the time zone in which services were to be performed) the day prior to the scheduled shoot. Cancellations that occur after 5:00pm (in the time zone in which services were to be performed) the day prior to the shoot will incur cancellations fees of 25% of the price of the services.

Once a Better Listings photographer has photographed a property, cancellations and/or rescheduling requests will not be entitled to a refund.

Travel Fees may be charged if properties are outside of Better Listings’ geographical Service area.  Please See the Service area map found at https://betterlistingsphotography.com/contact-us for a detailed map of our current service area. In the event that a travel fee is charged, the fee will be disclosed to you no later than when the shoot is scheduled.

Confidentiality

From time to time, you or Better Listings (as the “Discloser”) may disclose or make available to the other party (as the “Recipient”), non-public, proprietary, and confidential information of Discloser that the Recipient should reasonably understand is confidential (“Confidential Information” or “CI”).  If the parties have entered into a separate nondisclosure agreement the terms of that agreement will apply to CI disclosed pursuant to this Agreement.   Otherwise, the terms of this section will apply to CI.   Confidential Information does not include any information that is generally available to the public without breach of an agreement, was provided to the Recipient by a third party permitted to disclose the information on a non-confidential basis, was in Recipient’s possession prior to Discloser’s disclosure or was independently developed by Recipient without use of Discloser’s information. 

The Recipient will protect and safeguard the confidentiality of CI received from Discloser with at least a commercially reasonable degree of care; not use or permit access to the CI of Discloser for any purpose other than as contemplated by this Agreement; and not disclose, directly or indirectly, Discloser CI to any person or entity, except to personnel, agents, or independent contractors who need to know the CI to assist the Recipient to perform under this Agreement.

If the Recipient is required by applicable law or legal process to disclose any Confidential Information, Recipient will, prior to making such disclosure, use commercially reasonable efforts to notify Discloser of such requirements to afford Discloser the opportunity to seek, at Discloser’s sole cost and expense, a protective order or other remedy.

Intellectual Property Rights

Services and Website Content:   As between you and Better Listings, our Services, Website and its entire contents, features and functionality, including but not limited to all information, software, text, displays, unique color choices, images, video and audio, and the design, selection and arrangement thereof including all of the goodwill associated therewith and derivative works (collectively “Intellectual Property”) are owned by Better Listings and are protected by United States and international copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret and other intellectual property or proprietary rights laws (collectively “Intellectual Property Rights”).   You do not acquire any right, title or interest in any Better Listings property or Intellectual Property Rights under this Agreement, by use or otherwise.

Such permitted use shall not in any way be construed as a license to or transfer of ownership of the Deliverables to the MLS.   If Better Listings provides desktop, mobile or other applications for download, you may download a single copy to your computer or mobile device solely for your own use in accordance with this Agreement, provided you agree to be bound by any end-user license agreement for each such application.
