Thank you for purchasing a Snap Foto Club Membership. We are committed to creating a welcoming, encouraging, and creative environment for all members. You must read and agree to the following terms to participate in the Snap Foto Club Membership program. Please note, all payments must be made upfront. Failure to follow the rules of Snap Foto Club and/or failing to honour the membership agreement will result in the membership being revoked. No refunds will be issued for revocations resulting from rule violations or other inappropriate behaviour. Membership fees are non-refundable if you choose to cancel before your member period has expired. Membership renewal is at the discretion of Snap Foto Club. Our goal is to foster strong relationships with our members that benefit all parties involved.

 

Membership Tiers:

 

Memberships are valid for 4 weeks from the date of purchase. Memberships expire after 4 weeks and will be automatically renewed unless billing is cancelled by the member or Snap Foto Club revokes the membership. Snap Foto Club Membership pricing is based on how many people you plan to bring with you to the studio on a regular basis. Which membership is right for you? This depends on your needs. If you’re a headshot photographer, you may want to consider the 2-participant option that gives you and your client daily access to the studio. Occasional additional participants are $25 per person (daily). If you run a small business and you have a team that needs consistent social media content you may want to consider a membership tier that is a good fit for the size of your team. If you are a model, influencer, or actor and you want to keep up with your socials but don’t have a photographer, consider the 1 participant membership, and then hire our Instagram Husband (on staff photographer) for consistent content. Please find pricing below:

Any time spent in studio beyond your booking will be billed to the member at a rate of $25/person/hour in 15-minute increments. The session is not permitted to extend beyond operating hours (this includes tear down and vacating the studio).

23. All members must agree to Snap Foto Club’s General Admission rules prior to each booking. Please read them here: General Admission Rules

 

24. Snap Foto Club staff do not want to micromanage members and their sessions. We aim to create a fun, welcoming environment and when rules are required to be enforced by staff, it harshes everyone’s mellow. We don’t want to do that. We ask that members know the rules, follow them, have their guests follow them, and respect the studio so that everyone can have a good time

 

25. The Snap Foto Club membership program is intended to open the studio to all creators and build a collective, creative environment at an affordable rate. These rules are in place to keep the studio running smoothly. If Snap Foto Club staff deem members are trying to skirt, bend, manipulate rules or otherwise take advantage of the membership program, their memberships will be revoked

 

26. Snap Foto Club reserves the right to amend these rules at any time for any reason

 

By purchasing a membership to Snap Foto Club, I agree to abide by the above rules, and agree to this agreement on behalf of everyone in my party. I recognize failure to abide by the above rules and the General Admission rules will result in being asked to leave Snap Foto Club and may result in membership revocation and forfeiture of any payments made to Snap Foto Club.
