Terms of Service
Last updated: December 31, 2025
The Short Version
Use Studio by Råven to run your photography business. Your work is yours. Pay your subscription. Don't upload illegal content. If something goes wrong, let's talk about it first. That's the gist.
Agreement
By creating an account or using Studio by Råven, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, that's okay—but you can't use the service. Studio by Råven is operated by Ravn Ltd, a Colorado company.
What Studio by Råven Does
Studio by Råven is a platform for professional photographers to manage their business. This includes client galleries, proofing, invoicing, bookings, contracts, questionnaires, a website builder, email campaigns, print fulfillment, and related tools. We're constantly improving and adding features based on what photographers actually need.
Your Account
To use Studio by Råven, you need to create an account. You must:
- Be at least 18 years old
- Provide accurate information
- Keep your login credentials secure
- Let us know if someone accesses your account without permission
You're responsible for everything that happens under your account. If you're setting up an account for a business, you confirm you have the authority to agree to these terms on behalf of that business.
Payment
Studio by Råven is a paid service. Here's how it works:
- Billing: We bill monthly or annually, depending on your plan. Your subscription renews automatically until you cancel.
- Price changes: We may change prices, but we'll give you notice. Your current billing cycle won't change mid-cycle.
- Cancellation: You can cancel anytime from your account settings. Your access continues until the end of your current billing period.
- Refunds: We don't offer refunds for partial billing periods. When you cancel, you keep access through what you've paid for.
We use a third-party payment processor. Your payment information goes directly to them—we never see or store your full card number.
Your Content, Your Rights
This is important, so we'll be clear:
You own your work. Every photo, every contract, every piece of content you upload to Studio by Råven remains your property. We claim no ownership over your creative work. Period.
You grant us a limited license. To provide the service, you grant us a license to store, display, process, and transmit your content. This license exists solely so we can show your galleries to your clients, process your images, fulfill print orders, and operate the platform. We will never use your photos for our marketing, sell them, sublicense them, or claim any creative rights.
You can revoke this license anytime. Delete your content or delete your account, and we destroy everything immediately. No questions, no retention periods, no tricks.
You're responsible for your content. You confirm you have the rights to upload what you upload—your own photos, content you're licensed to use, or content your clients have agreed to share.
Our Platform
Studio by Råven—the platform itself, our code, design, brand, and documentation—belongs to us. These terms don't give you any rights to our trademarks or intellectual property beyond using the service as intended.
Acceptable Use
We built this for photographers doing legitimate work. Don't use Studio by Råven to:
- Upload illegal content or content that exploits minors
- Violate anyone's intellectual property rights
- Distribute malware or harm other users
- Send spam or abuse the email features
- Attempt to access other users' accounts or data
- Circumvent platform security or usage limits
- Use automated systems to scrape or overload the service
We reserve the right to remove content or suspend accounts that violate these rules. We'd rather talk to you first, but some violations require immediate action.
Service Availability
We work hard to keep Studio by Råven running smoothly, but we can't promise 100% uptime. Sometimes things break. Sometimes we need maintenance windows. We'll do our best to minimize disruption and communicate about planned downtime. The service is provided "as is"—we don't guarantee it will meet every specific need or be error-free at all times.
Limitation of Liability
We're a small team building something we believe in. Here's the reality:
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Ravn Ltd is not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, data, or business opportunities, arising from your use of Studio by Råven.
Our total liability to you for any claims arising from these terms or your use of the service is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim arose.
Ending the Relationship
You can leave anytime. Cancel your subscription and delete your account whenever you want. When you delete your account, we immediately and permanently destroy all your content and data.
We can end things too. If you violate these terms, we may suspend or terminate your account. For serious violations, this may happen immediately. For less serious issues, we'll try to work with you first.
If we ever shut down Studio by Råven entirely (we don't plan to, but life is unpredictable), we'll give you reasonable notice and time to export your data.
Resolving Disputes
If you have a problem with Studio by Råven, let's talk about it first. Email us at privacy@studiobyraven.com. Most issues can be resolved with a conversation.
If we can't resolve it informally, we agree to try mediation before going to court. We'll split the cost of a neutral mediator and make a good-faith effort to find a resolution.
If mediation doesn't work, any legal action will be handled in the state or federal courts of Colorado, and you agree to jurisdiction there. These terms are governed by Colorado law.
Changes to These Terms
We may update these terms from time to time. If we make significant changes, we'll notify you by email or through the platform before they take effect. Your continued use after changes means you accept the new terms. If you don't agree with changes, you can cancel your account.
Everything Else
Entire agreement: These terms, along with our Privacy Policy, are the complete agreement between you and Ravn Ltd regarding Studio by Råven.
Severability: If any part of these terms is found unenforceable, the rest still applies.
No waiver: If we don't enforce something immediately, that doesn't mean we've waived our right to enforce it later.
Questions?
If anything here is unclear, email us at privacy@studiobyraven.com. We'll explain it in plain English.
