This website is operated by Istari Creative LLC, a marketing and creative studio at 1200 Harris Avenue, Suite 309, Bellingham, WA 98225. These terms cover your use of istaricreative.com. How we handle your information is covered separately in our privacy policy, and our accessibility commitments live on our accessibility page.

If you hire us, the proposal, statement of work, or agreement we sign together governs that engagement, not this page. These terms are about the website, not client work.

Everything on this site, including the writing, photography, artwork, design, and code, belongs to Istari Creative or is used with permission. We made most of it ourselves, which is sort of the point of a creative studio.

You're welcome to browse, link to, and share pages from this site. You may not copy, republish, scrape, or use our content for commercial purposes without our written permission. That includes using our photography or artwork in your own projects and feeding this site's content into datasets or products.

Client work shown in our portfolio is displayed with permission and belongs to our clients or to us, depending on the agreements behind each project. Either way, it's not available for reuse.

You can book our photo studio through this site. Bookings are governed by the rates, policies, and rental terms presented when you book, including our cancellation policy and studio rental agreement. Payments are processed by Square, and we don't see or store your card information.

If something goes wrong with a booking, such as a double booking or a technical error on our end, contact us and we'll make it right. We're two people who answer our own email, not a support queue.

The site as-is

We work hard to keep this site accurate, current, and running. But it's provided "as is," without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We can't guarantee the site will always be available, error-free, or that its content is complete or current. Content on this site is general information, not professional advice for your specific situation.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Istari Creative LLC and its members are not liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of this site. Our total liability for any claim related to this site is limited to the amount you paid us through this site in the twelve months before the claim, or one hundred dollars, whichever is greater.

Other people's sites

This site links to other websites, including our clients' sites and our gallery at studioistari.com. We don't control those sites and aren't responsible for their content, policies, or practices.
