Terms of Service & Intellectual Property Policy

1. Agreement to Terms

By accessing this website or engaging our services, you agree to these Terms. Miranda Media Co LLC ("the Company," "we," "us") is AJ Miranda's photography practice — portraits, events, band and press photography, and fine art prints. The Company also offers digital marketing and website design/management services on a separate basis; those terms are called out in their own section below.

**If you have signed a Master Services Agreement with us, that agreement governs our services relationship and controls over these Terms wherever the two differ.** These Terms continue to apply to your use of this website. Where you have not signed a Master Services Agreement — for example a print shop purchase, a commission inquiry, or a one-off session — these Terms govern.

2. Photography Services

• — **Copyright & Usage Rights:** Miranda Media Co LLC retains copyright in all photographs and video. When your session is paid in full, you receive a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free license to use your delivered photographs for your own personal or business purposes — website, social media, advertising, and print — with no time limit and no further fee. You may not resell, sublicense, or transfer the photographs to third parties, or submit them to stock libraries. You may resize and reasonably crop for platform requirements, but may not materially re-edit or apply filters or effects to delivered work without our written permission.
• — **Raw Files:** RAW, unedited, and project files remain our property and are not delivered unless expressly agreed in writing. Your deliverables are the edited photographs.
• — **Portfolio Rights:** Miranda Media Co LLC retains the right to use any photograph from your session in its own portfolio, marketing, and promotional materials. You may ask in writing that specific images be excluded, and we will honor that going forward.
• — **Fine Art Prints:** Prints purchased through the print shop are for personal display only — scanning, reproducing, or digitizing a physical print is prohibited.
• — **Booking & Payment:** A deposit equal to 50% of the agreed-upon price is required to hold your date. The remaining balance is due at the end of the session. Accepted payment methods: card via Stripe, cash, Venmo, Cash App, PayPal, and Zelle. Business clients on recurring services are billed by card through Stripe.

*The copyright and raw file provisions above apply to sessions booked on or after August 23, 2026. Sessions booked before that date are governed by the terms in effect at the time of booking.*

3. Digital Marketing & Other Services

The following terms apply only to clients engaging Miranda Media Co LLC for digital marketing, SEO, advertising, or website design and management — not to photography clients.

**Where a Master Services Agreement has been signed, its commercial terms — pricing, payment schedules, late fees, minimum terms, and termination notice — govern. The terms below apply where no such agreement is in place.**

• — **Marketing & SEO Assets:** Custom strategies, ad copy, and campaign structures for PPC, Meta, and Google Ads remain our intellectual property until full payment is received. Upon final payment, clients own final creative assets (logos/graphics), while we retain the right to display them in our professional portfolio.
• — **Website Assets:** Custom-built websites remain the intellectual property of Miranda Media Co LLC until all setup fees and outstanding balances are paid in full. Upon payment, the client is granted full ownership of the final delivered files.
• — **AI Proprietary Workflows:** Proprietary "human-in-the-loop" AI workflows used to generate results remain our exclusive property.
• — **Washington State Taxation (SB 5814):** Effective October 1, 2025, digital advertising services — including SEO, PPC, and web campaign planning — are subject to an 8.8% Retail Sales Tax in Washington. Taxes are sourced based on the primary location of service dissemination as provided by the Client.
• — **SMS & Mobile Messaging (A2P 10DLC):** We use SMS messaging for project updates, scheduling notifications, and occasional marketing offers related to these services. Consent is obtained via an affirmative opt-in checkbox on our web forms and is not a condition of purchase. Text STOP to unsubscribe, HELP for assistance. Message and data rates may apply. No mobile information is shared with third parties for marketing purposes.
• — **Advertising Spend:** Advertising budgets are paid by the client directly to the advertising platform on the client's own payment method. We do not collect, hold, advance, or bill advertising spend. Management fees are separate from and in addition to advertising spend.
• — **No Guarantee of Results:** We do not guarantee any specific search ranking, lead volume, advertising performance, conversion rate, or return on investment. Results depend on market conditions, competition, your responsiveness and pricing, and the policies and algorithms of third-party platforms.
• — **Washington MHMDA:** Clients running health-adjacent campaigns are solely responsible for their own site's compliance with the Washington My Health My Data Act.

4. Website Content & Intellectual Property

5. AI & Synthetic Media Disclosure (WA HB 1205)

In compliance with 2026 Washington transparency laws, we disclose the use of generative AI tools for creative optimization and data analysis. All final works represent significant human creative arrangement and modification. We do not produce unauthorized "digital replicas" or forged likenesses of individuals.

We are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, including lost profits or lost revenue.

8. Third-Party Platforms

Our services may depend on third-party platforms including Google, Meta, hosting providers, and email providers. We are not responsible for those platforms' acts or omissions, including suspension of an account or listing, algorithm changes, outages, or discontinuation of a product.

9. Copyright Infringement (DMCA)

If you believe your work has been copied in a way that constitutes infringement, contact our DMCA Agent at aj.mirandamedia@gmail.com.
