Federal copyright law mandates permission from the photographer to scan, copy, or reproduce copyrighted photographs and images. By placing an order, you affirm that you have obtained the necessary permissions.

We will not knowingly scan copyrighted photos. If such photos are discovered, we are obligated to comply with applicable laws and report the information to relevant authorities.

In the event of legal disputes arising from the submission of copyrighted photos, you and/or the copyright holder assume responsibility for all associated costs.

Shipping

We utilize USPS Priority Mail for shipping our bulk photo scanning packages. USPS offers customers $100 insurance on Priority Mail packages.

While we strive to ensure the safe delivery of your photos, we cannot guarantee that they will not be damaged or lost during transit. Therefore, we do not assume responsibility for loss or damage and you agree to not hold our company liable in such cases.

Your online bulk photo scanning order is valid for a one-year period (365 days). Please ensure that you send your photos to us in the provided box or a similar-sized USPS box.

If you selected the local option, you have one year to schedule your pickup with us. Beyond this timeframe, we cannot guarantee a refund.

If you discover any issues with your completed order, please reach out to us, and we will make every effort to resolve the matter. If we are unable to rectify the situation, our refund policy is as follows:

  • You have the choice of receiving 100% of your purchase back as store credit; OR
  • You can opt for a refund, with a deduction of a $30 fee for every 2,500 photos scanned.
  • For instance, if you scanned 5,000 photos, we will refund your entire purchase minus a $60 fee ($30 x 2) to cover shipping and thumb drive costs.
  • The minimum refund fee is $30.

Should you choose to refund your purchase, please note that we will also remove your photos from our Cloud drive.
