Modification of Terms

PhotoSquared may amend these Terms at any time, for any reason, and without notice, including the right to terminate the Service or any part of the Service. Any amendments or modifications made by PhotoSquared will be prospective only.

Entire Agreement

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and PhotoSquared governing your use of the Service. In the case of inconsistencies between these Terms and any information included in off-line materials (for example, promotional materials and mailers), these Terms will always control. You may also be subject to additional terms and conditions that may apply when you use PhotoSquared Affiliate services, third-party Content, or third-party software.

A. The failure of PhotoSquared to exercise or enforce any Term will not constitute a waiver of such Term. If any Term is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of these Terms remain in full force and effect.

B. Regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to the Service or these Terms will be filed within one year after such claim or cause of action arose, or be forever barred.

Canadian Provisions

A. All Canadian-made purchases within the PhotoSquared app are subject to all applicable government and provincial taxes based upon the destination of the shipped PhotoSquared packaged. In additional, all prices listed and charged within the PhotoSquared app are listed in United States Dollars (USD) and will charge the customer’s method of payment as such. Conversions of currency will be done so by the credit card or PayPal processing platforms at the time of purchase and processing.

B. Shipping to Canadian customers will be done via UPS Standard. As such, expected delivery times are 3-6 days after the date of purchase. Note that all deliveries are made Monday through Friday. Actual delivery days/times cannot be controlled by PhotoSquared, and are contingent upon delivery schedules of UPS and any unforeseen delays with US-Canadian Customs. PhotoSquared will not be held liable for any delays in delivery outside of the projected delivery window.

Military Provisions

PhotoSquared proudly offers shipping and discounts to members of the United States Military and their families. We thank them for their service, and offer our services and discounts as a small token of thanks.

A. All orders placed shipping to a “Military Address” (APO, FPO, or DPO) will automatically be credited with a 10% military discount. The discount will be applied after the shipping address has been confirmed, and will display on the “Checkout” screen. Only one (1) discount may be applied to any PhotoSquared order, thus the military discount cannot be combined with any other discounts or promotions. The discount can be removed and a new discount code may be applied in its place by the customer at time of purchase only.

B. Shipping to Military addresses may take longer than the standard 3-5 day delivery window. All packages shipping to military addresses are shipped via USPS, and timing of delivery is contingent upon USPS and receiving processes of the military.
