Effective Date: Sept 4, 2026
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Seven Rubies website, platform, and related services (collectively, the “Services”), operated by Seven Rubies LLC (“Seven Rubies,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).
By accessing or using the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.
1. Description of the Services
Seven Rubies is an online directory and marketing platform. Professional boudoir photographers (“Vendors”) subscribe for a listing within designated geographic markets. People looking for a photographer (“Clients”) can browse those listings and contact a studio directly through the platform.
The Services function solely as a neutral venue for discovery and do not provide photography services directly.
Seven Rubies does not employ, endorse, guarantee, or supervise Vendors. Any booking, contract, payment, or session is strictly between the Client and the Vendor. Seven Rubies is not a party to it.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least eighteen (18) years old and capable of entering into a legally binding contract to use the Services.
If you are using the Services on behalf of a business entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity to these Terms.
3. Client Accounts and Contacting Studios
You do not need an account to browse the directory. You may need one to message a studio.
When you send a message to a studio through Seven Rubies, your name, contact details, and message are passed to that studio so they can reply. Our Privacy Policy explains exactly what they receive.
You agree that you will:
- Provide accurate contact information
- Use the messaging feature to make genuine enquiries about photography services
- Not use it to send spam, solicitations, abusive messages, or bulk marketing
- Not misrepresent who you are
Studios choose whether and how to respond. Seven Rubies does not guarantee a reply, availability, pricing, or that any studio will take your booking.
What happens after you connect. Once you and a studio are in contact, your relationship is with that studio. Seven Rubies does not set their prices, review their contracts, hold your payment, or supervise your session. Concerns about a session, a contract, or a payment go to the studio. You are welcome to tell us about a problem with a listed studio, and we may act on it under Section 10, but we cannot resolve a dispute between you and a Vendor.
Seven Rubies may suspend or remove a Client account that violates these Terms.
4. Vendor Accounts and Listings
Vendors are responsible for:
- Providing accurate and current business information
- Maintaining required professional licenses, permits, and insurance
- Ensuring all content submitted complies with these Terms
- Responding to Client enquiries in a professional and timely manner
- Handling Client information they receive through the platform in line with applicable privacy laws and their own privacy policy
Listings are non-transferable and limited to the market or markets purchased or assigned.
Seven Rubies reserves the right to approve, reject, suspend, or remove any listing at its sole discretion.
