Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern access to and use of StudioDesk, a studio management platform for photography and videography businesses, operated by MK World Solutions ("we", "us", "StudioDesk"). By creating an account or using StudioDesk, you ("Studio", "you") agree to these Terms. If you are accepting on behalf of a business, you confirm you have the authority to bind it.

1. Definitions

• "Service" — the StudioDesk web application, APIs and related services.
• "Studio Data" — the leads, clients, bookings, quotations, invoices, payments, files and other content you or your team upload or create inside the Service.
• "Team Member" — a person you invite into your studio (Admin, Manager, Photographer or Editor role).

2. The service

StudioDesk is software for running a photography or videography studio — enquiry and lead tracking, bookings and scheduling, quotations, GST invoices, payments, expenses and deliverable tracking — provided on a subscription basis as described on our Pricing page.

3. Your account

• You must give accurate details when signing up and keep your password secure.
• You are responsible for all activity under your account, including everything done by Team Members you invite — it is your responsibility to assign roles appropriately and remove access when someone leaves your studio.
• You must be at least 18 years old and able to enter into a binding contract under Indian law.
• One Studio account may not be shared across unrelated businesses.

4. Ownership of your data

You own all Studio Data. We claim no ownership over it. You grant us only the limited licence needed to host, store, back up, process and display it back to you so the Service works — including generating the public quotation/invoice share links and studio enquiry page you choose to use. You confirm that you have the right to collect and store the Personal Data of your own clients that you enter into StudioDesk, and that you will handle it lawfully, including under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023. As between you and your clients, you — not StudioDesk — are responsible for complying with any notice or consent obligations toward them.

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• upload unlawful content, malware, or anything that infringes someone's rights;
• attempt to access another Studio's data, probe the Service's security, or circumvent plan limits;
• resell, sublicense or white-label the Service except under a plan that expressly permits it;
• use the Service to send unsolicited bulk messages (spam) to third parties;
• reverse-engineer, decompile, or scrape the Service beyond normal use through the UI/API we provide.

We may suspend access immediately, without notice, for a breach that puts the security or availability of the Service at risk.

6. Plans, billing and taxes

• Paid plans renew automatically each month or year until cancelled.
• Prices are in Indian Rupees and exclusive of GST, which is charged where applicable.
• Payments are collected by Razorpay, our third-party payment processor; your payment instrument details are handled directly by Razorpay and are never stored by us.
• A failed renewal moves your studio to the Free plan limits until payment succeeds; your data is not deleted.
• We will give at least 30 days' notice by email before any price increase takes effect for existing subscribers.

7. Free trial

New studios get a 14-day trial of the Studio plan at no cost and with no card required. When it ends, your studio moves to the Free plan limits unless you subscribe. Nothing is deleted when a trial ends.

8. Cancellation and refunds

You may cancel at any time from Settings → Billing. Your plan stays active until the end of the period you have already paid for, and you are not charged again after that. See our Refund Policy for how refunds are handled.

9. Availability and changes to the service

We work to keep StudioDesk available at all times but do not guarantee uninterrupted, error-free service. We may carry out maintenance, and will give reasonable notice for anything planned and significant. We may add, change or remove features as the product evolves; we will not materially reduce the functionality of a plan you are actively paying for without notice.

10. Intellectual property

The Service, including its software, design, branding and documentation, is owned by MK World Solutions and protected by applicable intellectual property laws. Nothing in these Terms transfers any of that to you, beyond the right to use the Service as intended for your own studio.

11. Disclaimer and limitation of liability

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available". To the extent permitted by law, we disclaim implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose, and our total liability arising out of or relating to the Service in any 12-month period is limited to the subscription fees you paid us in that period. We are not liable for lost profits, lost bookings, or other indirect, incidental or consequential losses. You are responsible for keeping your own copies of records that are critical to your business.

12. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims, damages and expenses arising from your Studio Data, your breach of these Terms, or your violation of any law or a third party's rights in connection with your use of the Service.

13. Suspension and termination

We may suspend or close an account that breaches these Terms, is used unlawfully, or whose fees remain unpaid 15 days after a failed renewal. You may close your own account at any time from Settings. On closure, Studio Data is handled as described in our Privacy Policy.

14. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of India. Subject to applicable law, courts at Surat have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service.

15. General

• If any part of these Terms is found unenforceable, the rest remains in full effect.
• We may update these Terms from time to time; material changes will be notified to account owners by email at least 7 days before they take effect, and continued use after that constitutes acceptance.
• You may not assign these Terms without our written consent; we may assign them as part of a merger, acquisition or sale of assets.
• Neither party is liable for delays caused by events beyond reasonable control (force majeure).
