These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of websites, online stores, forms, digital platforms, content, and other online services owned or operated by American Horizon Media LLC, including those operated under the American Horizon and Northstar Studios names (collectively, “American Horizon,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).
By accessing, browsing, submitting information through, purchasing from, or otherwise using our websites or online services, you agree to these Terms and any additional policies or agreements referenced herein.
If you do not agree to these Terms, you should not use our websites or online services.
1. Scope of These Terms

Certain services, projects, bookings, events, purchases, or transactions may also be governed by a separate contract, service agreement, invoice, proposal, release, booking agreement, refund policy, shipping policy, or other written terms.
If a separate written agreement between you and American Horizon Media LLC conflicts with these Terms concerning a particular service or transaction, the separate agreement will control with respect to that conflict.
2. Eligibility and Authority
By using our website or entering into a transaction through it, you represent that you have the legal capacity to do so.
If you are using the website, making a purchase, submitting a booking request, or entering into an agreement on behalf of a business, organization, event, or another person, you represent that you are authorized to act on their behalf.
Minors may use publicly available portions of the website, but purchases, bookings, contracts, and other transactions requiring legal consent must be completed or authorized by a parent, legal guardian, or other person legally permitted to provide that consent when required by law.
3. Website Content
Our website may contain photographs, videos, audio recordings, graphics, articles, descriptions, portfolios, service information, pricing information, schedules, event information, promotional materials, and other content.
We make reasonable efforts to keep information accurate and current. However, website content may occasionally contain errors, omissions, outdated information, or technical inaccuracies.
Unless otherwise expressly stated, website content is provided for general informational, promotional, and commercial purposes and does not constitute a binding offer or guarantee that a particular product, service, date, price, feature, or availability will remain available.
We may update, correct, modify, reorganize, suspend, or remove website content at any time.
4. Intellectual Property
Unless otherwise stated or credited, the website and its original content are owned by, licensed to, or lawfully used by American Horizon Media LLC.
Protected materials may include:
photographs

website designs
layouts
written content
articles
logos
business names
branding
trademarks and service marks
product designs
promotional materials
production materials
portfolio content
digital downloads
templates
documents
media assets
and other original works
The names, logos, branding, and associated materials of American Horizon, American Horizon Media LLC, and Northstar Studios may not be used in a manner that falsely suggests affiliation, sponsorship, approval, or endorsement.
Nothing contained on the website grants you ownership of or a license to our intellectual property except as expressly stated in these Terms or in a separate written agreement.
5. Permitted Use of Website Content
You may access and view publicly available website content for ordinary personal and informational purposes.
You may share links to publicly accessible pages of our website.
Brief quotations or references to our written content may be used for legitimate commentary, reporting, review, educational, or similar purposes where permitted by applicable law and where appropriate attribution is provided.
Except as permitted by law or authorized by us in writing, you may not:
reproduce or republish our content
download or distribute our photographs or videos
remove copyrights, watermarks, credits, or notices
sell or commercially exploit our content
modify our content and present it as original
use our content to falsely imply endorsement or affiliation
create unauthorized merchandise using our branding or content
scrape or systematically collect website content

Rights granted to photography, video, audio, or other deliverables provided to a client are governed by the applicable client agreement or license.
6. Artificial Intelligence and Automated Use
Except where permitted by applicable law or expressly authorized by American Horizon Media LLC, users may not systematically collect, scrape, copy, download, or use substantial portions of our original photographs, videos, audio, written materials, graphics, or other proprietary content for the purpose of creating, training, fine-tuning, developing, or supplying datasets to generative artificial intelligence or machine-learning systems.
This provision does not restrict lawful indexing by ordinary search engines or uses that cannot legally be restricted.
7. User Submissions
Our website may allow you to submit information or materials through contact forms, booking forms, applications, surveys, order forms, uploads, reviews, messages, or other interactive features.
You retain ownership of materials that you own and submit to us.
By submitting material, you represent that you have the right and authority to provide it to us and that our use of it for the purpose for which it was submitted will not unlawfully infringe the rights of another person.

respond to your request
provide requested services
process a transaction
prepare a quote or proposal
communicate with you
administer our website
maintain appropriate business records
protect against fraud, abuse, or security threats
comply with legal obligations
Submitting photographs, videos, documents, or other material through the website does not, by itself, grant American Horizon Media LLC the unrestricted right to publicly advertise or commercially publish that material. Any broader media, portfolio, promotional, or publicity rights will be governed by an applicable release, service agreement, or other authorization.
8. Acceptable Use
You agree not to use our websites or online services to:

We may block, restrict, or terminate access to our online services where reasonably necessary to protect our company, users, systems, rights, or legal obligations.
9. Service Information and Booking Requests
Descriptions of photography, videography, DJ services, event production, podcast production, media services, creative services, and other professional services appearing on the website are provided for informational and promotional purposes.
Submitting a contact form, quote request, booking request, or other inquiry does not by itself guarantee availability or create a binding service agreement.
A booking is not considered confirmed solely because an inquiry or form was submitted unless we expressly state otherwise.
Service dates, pricing, deposits, payment schedules, cancellations, rescheduling, deliverables, licensing, turnaround times, client responsibilities, event requirements, and other project-specific terms may be established in a separate written agreement.
Where a signed service agreement applies, that agreement controls the applicable project.
10. Products and Online Store Purchases
We may offer physical or digital products through our websites, including merchandise, prints, photographs, creative products, and other items.
Product images and descriptions are intended to provide a reasonable representation of the item. Actual colors, dimensions, placement, appearance, or other characteristics may vary because of screens, manufacturing processes, printing methods, materials, or other production factors.
We reserve the right to correct errors and to modify or discontinue products, subject to applicable law and obligations for orders already accepted.
We may limit quantities or decline an order where reasonably necessary to prevent fraud, correct an error, address inventory issues, or comply with applicable law.
11. Pricing, Taxes, and Payment
Prices are displayed in the currency indicated on the website.
Applicable sales tax, shipping charges, processing charges, or other disclosed charges may be added during checkout when applicable.
We reserve the right to correct genuine pricing or listing errors. If an error materially affects an order already placed, we may contact you with appropriate options, including cancellation and refund where appropriate.
Payment processing may be provided by third-party payment processors. We may not directly receive or store all payment-card information entered through those systems.
You agree to provide accurate billing and payment information and represent that you are authorized to use the payment method submitted.
12. Shipping, Delivery, Returns, and Refunds
Shipping estimates are estimates unless expressly stated otherwise.
Delivery dates may be affected by carriers, fulfillment providers, weather, supply conditions, incorrect addresses, events beyond our reasonable control, or other circumstances.
Return, exchange, cancellation, and refund eligibility may vary based on the type of product or service purchased.
Applicable rules may be stated in:
a product listing
checkout information
a Return or Refund Policy
a Shipping Policy
a service agreement
an event or booking agreement
or another policy presented at the time of purchase
Customized, personalized, made-to-order, digital, commissioned, or time-sensitive products and services may be subject to different cancellation or return conditions where permitted by law.
Nothing in these Terms is intended to eliminate any refund, cancellation, warranty, chargeback, consumer-protection, or other right that cannot lawfully be waived.
13. Digital Products and Downloads
Digital products, files, media, templates, downloads, or similar materials are licensed rather than sold unless expressly stated otherwise.
Unless a different license accompanies the product, digital products purchased from us are for the purchaser's personal or expressly authorized use and may not be redistributed, resold, sublicensed, uploaded for public distribution, or presented as the purchaser's own work.
Additional licensing terms may accompany particular digital products.
14. Promotions, Discounts, and Special Offers
Promotional offers, coupons, discount codes, giveaways, contests, special pricing, or limited-time offers may be subject to additional conditions.
Unless otherwise stated:
promotions have no cash value
promotions may not be combined
discounts apply only during the stated promotional period
promotions may be limited to qualifying products or services
We may correct or cancel a promotion affected by a genuine technical or publication error, subject to applicable law.
15. Third-Party Platforms and Services
Our websites may contain links to, integrations with, or embedded services provided by third parties, including payment processors, ecommerce providers, social media platforms, scheduling systems, maps, video platforms, shipping providers, analytics providers, or other services.
Third-party platforms operate under their own terms, privacy policies, and practices.
American Horizon Media LLC does not control and is not responsible for the independent content, availability, security, policies, products, or practices of third-party websites and services.
A link or integration does not necessarily constitute our endorsement of a third party.
16. Social Media and External Platforms
American Horizon Media LLC may operate accounts or publish content on third-party social media and media platforms.
Use of those platforms is also subject to the platform provider's own terms and policies.
Comments, messages, posts, or statements made by third parties on external platforms do not necessarily represent the views of American Horizon Media LLC.
17. Privacy
Our collection and use of personal information is governed by our applicable Privacy Policy and by applicable law.
Use of the website may involve third-party technologies or services that separately collect or process information under their own policies.
Users should review our Privacy Policy for additional information concerning personal information, cookies, analytics, communications, and related practices.
18. Communications
When you voluntarily provide an email address, phone number, or other contact information, you authorize us to use that information to respond to your request and communicate with you regarding relevant inquiries, orders, bookings, services, projects, or transactions.
Marketing or promotional communications will be handled in accordance with applicable law and any available unsubscribe or opt-out mechanisms.
Providing contact information does not authorize us to send communications prohibited by applicable law.
19. Portfolio and Client Media
Photographs, videos, audio, testimonials, event materials, or other client-related content displayed in our portfolio or promotional materials are used pursuant to applicable ownership rights, licenses, permissions, releases, contracts, or other lawful authority.
The presence of client work on our website does not transfer ownership of that work to website visitors or authorize third-party use.
Rights relating to photographs, recordings, footage, deliverables, likenesses, and portfolio use for a particular client or event may be further governed by the applicable service agreement or release.
20. Copyright Concerns
We respect intellectual-property rights.
If you believe material appearing on one of our websites infringes rights you own or are authorized to enforce, you may contact us with enough information to identify:
the protected work
the allegedly infringing material
where the material appears
your contact information
the basis for your request
We may request additional information reasonably necessary to evaluate the matter.
21. Website Availability and Security
We do not guarantee uninterrupted, error-free, or continuously available access to our websites.
The website may become temporarily unavailable because of maintenance, updates, technical problems, hosting failures, third-party outages, security incidents, or circumstances outside our control.
We may modify, suspend, replace, or discontinue portions of the website at any time, subject to any applicable contractual or legal obligations.
Although we take reasonable measures to operate our systems securely, no internet-based system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
22. Disclaimer of Warranties
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, our website and general website content are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis.
We do not warrant that the website will always be available, free from errors, free from harmful components, or suitable for every particular purpose.
Nothing in this section limits warranties, representations, or rights that cannot legally be excluded or modified.
Specific products or professional services may also be subject to warranties, commitments, or obligations contained in separate written agreements.
23. Limitation of Liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, American Horizon Media LLC and its owners, officers, employees, contractors, representatives, and agents will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, or consequential damages arising solely from access to, inability to access, or ordinary use of the website.
This limitation does not exclude liability that cannot legally be excluded or limited.
Liability associated with a particular photography project, event, production, order, professional service, or other contracted service may be governed by the applicable written agreement.
Nothing in these Terms is intended to waive or limit rights or remedies that applicable law does not permit the parties to waive or limit.
24. Indemnification
To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless American Horizon Media LLC and its officers, employees, contractors, and representatives from third-party claims, damages, liabilities, and reasonable costs arising from:
your unlawful use of the website
material you submit without necessary rights or authorization
your infringement of another person's intellectual-property or other legal rights
fraud or intentional misconduct committed through our website
your material violation of these Terms
This provision does not require a consumer to indemnify American Horizon Media LLC for the company's own unlawful conduct or for liability that cannot legally be shifted to the consumer.
25. Fraud and Unauthorized Transactions
We may take reasonable steps to verify orders, bookings, submissions, payment information, identities, or account activity when fraud, unauthorized use, or misuse is reasonably suspected.
We may cancel, suspend, or decline transactions reasonably believed to be fraudulent or unauthorized, subject to applicable law.
Fraudulent activity, attempted unauthorized access, theft, or other unlawful conduct may be reported to payment processors, platforms, financial institutions, service providers, or law-enforcement authorities where appropriate.
26. No Waiver
Failure by American Horizon Media LLC to enforce a provision of these Terms on one occasion does not waive our right to enforce that provision in the future.
27. Severability
If any provision of these Terms is determined to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, that provision will be interpreted or limited to the extent necessary to make it enforceable where permitted by law.
The remaining provisions will continue in effect.
28. Entire Agreement Regarding Website Use
These Terms, together with policies expressly incorporated into them, constitute the agreement between you and American Horizon Media LLC concerning general use of our website and online services.
They do not replace a separate signed contract, invoice terms, license, release, booking agreement, or other written agreement governing a particular project or transaction.
29. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except where applicable federal law or another law that cannot legally be waived or displaced provides otherwise.
Any dispute concerning these Terms will be handled by a court or other forum having lawful jurisdiction over the parties and the dispute.
Nothing in these Terms is intended to prevent a consumer from exercising rights concerning jurisdiction, venue, administrative complaints, or legal remedies that cannot lawfully be waived.
30. Changes to These Terms
We may revise these Terms periodically to reflect changes in our website, business operations, services, technology, or legal obligations.
The current version will be posted on our website with an updated “Last Updated” date.
Changes apply prospectively from their effective date unless otherwise required or permitted by law.
Continued use of the website after revised Terms become effective constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms to the extent permitted by applicable law.
Changes to these website Terms do not retroactively alter a separately executed contract unless that contract expressly provides otherwise.
