1. Business identity and contact
Sema Lens provides on-location photography and selected short-form video services from Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. Contact: basomalamhi@gmail.com · +1 (647) 867-8599. Sema Lens does not operate a public studio.
2. An inquiry is not a reservation
Submitting the website form only requests a date and starts a conversation. It does not create a booking, reserve a date, or require payment. Sema Lens will review availability and contact you about the event, location, coverage, deliverables, schedule, and price.
3. Proposal and opportunity to review
Before accepting and paying, you will receive a proposal or agreement that identifies the parties and describes the service accurately. It will itemize the price, taxes, travel fees, and other charges; state that all amounts are in Canadian dollars (CAD); specify the service start date, delivery timeline, deliverables, payment schedule, cancellation and refund terms, and remaining balance; and provide an opportunity to correct errors and accept or decline.
A retainable copy of the accepted agreement will be sent by email. Please review it carefully and keep it with your invoice and receipt.
4. Retainer and confirmation
A booking is confirmed only after the service agreement is accepted and the 50% booking retainer is received and verified. The retainer is applied to the total agreed service price. Payment is made through a secure Square invoice. Sema Lens does not collect or store card details on this website.
5. Client cancellation
If the client cancels a confirmed booking, the retainer is non-refundable except where applicable law requires otherwise. A late cancellation or failure to attend may result in loss of the retainer and may make other amounts payable where stated in the final agreement.
6. Rescheduling, severe weather, and emergencies
One rescheduling request is permitted with at least seven days’ notice, subject to availability. Severe weather or a documented emergency may allow the retainer to transfer to a new available date. Additional rescheduling, short-notice changes, venue restrictions, or material changes to coverage may require a revised agreement or fee.
7. Cancellation by Sema Lens
If Sema Lens cancels and cannot perform the agreed service, the client may receive a full refund of amounts paid or choose a new mutually available date. Any additional remedies required by applicable law remain available.
8. Travel, taxes, and additional costs
Travel outside the included service area, applicable taxes, permits, parking, accommodation, additional coverage, and other agreed charges will be disclosed before acceptance. No additional charge will be added without disclosure and agreement.
9. Deliverables and use
The final agreement will state the deliverables, estimated delivery timeline, delivery method, and any usage licence relevant to personal, corporate, branding, or commercial work. This public website is not a private client gallery and does not deliver final client files.
10. Consumer rights and governing law
These terms and the final agreement are subject to Nova Scotia and Canadian consumer-protection law. Nothing in an agreement limits a right or remedy that cannot legally be waived. Where Nova Scotia internet-sales rules apply, required disclosures, review and correction opportunities, contract delivery, and statutory cancellation rights take precedence over inconsistent wording.
11. Final agreement controls
This page is a general summary and does not replace the custom agreement. If the final signed agreement contains different project-specific details, it controls to the extent permitted by applicable law.
