On this page

Please read carefully

Introduction

These Terms of Use (the Terms) form a binding agreement between you and CoreHue Inc., a Delaware corporation (CoreHue, we, us or our). They govern your access to and use of corehue.co, the CoreHue application, the pages we host for Users and their Clients, and any related websites, software and services (together, the Services).

Our Privacy Policy describes how we collect and use personal information and is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

These Terms contain an arbitration agreement and a class action waiver in the [Dispute resolution](#disputes) section, which affect how disputes between you and CoreHue are resolved.

01Acceptance of these Terms

You accept these Terms when you create an Account, and when you select “Agree and continue” or a similar option to accept an updated version. If you access or use the Services without an Account, you agree to these Terms by doing so. If you do not agree, you may not use the Services.

We keep a record of each acceptance, including the version accepted and the date and time of acceptance.

If you accept these Terms on behalf of a company or other entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity, and you refers to that entity.

If you are a Client of a User, the section Terms for Clients applies to your use of that User’s pages.


02Definitions

In these Terms:

  • Account means a CoreHue workspace and the credentials used to access it.
  • User means a person or entity that holds an Account. Except in Terms for Clients, you means the User.
  • Client means a person with whom an Account holder works or communicates through the Services, including a person who submits an inquiry, signs a contract, pays an invoice or views a gallery.
  • Your Content means all material that you or your Clients upload, submit or create in the Services, including photographs, videos, documents, contracts, invoices, questionnaires, messages, branding and Client information.
  • Public Pages means pages we host on your behalf that Clients can access, including service pages, inquiry and contact forms, proposals, contracts, invoices, payment pages, questionnaires and galleries, whether at a corehue.co address or a custom domain.
  • Plan means the Free, Plus or Pro plan to which an Account is subscribed.

03Eligibility and accounts

You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract to create an Account. The Services are intended for use in connection with a business, not for personal, family or household purposes.

You must provide accurate information, keep it up to date and keep your login credentials confidential. Each Account is for a single person or business. You may not share your credentials or allow others to access your Account. You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your Account.

You must notify us promptly at hello@corehue.co if you suspect unauthorized access to your Account. We may require additional verification to protect your Account.


04The Services

Depending on your Plan, the Services include inquiry and contact forms, booking services and scheduling, proposals, contracts with electronic signatures, invoices and online payments, questionnaires, client messaging and reminders, galleries, templates, reports and custom domains.

Each Plan includes the features and limits described on our pricing page at the time you subscribe, including gallery storage, the number of published booking services, and the number of contracts and questionnaires you may send.

We may add, change or discontinue features of the Services. If we make a change that materially reduces a core feature of a paid Plan to which you subscribe, we will give you at least 30 days’ notice, and you may cancel and receive a refund of any prepaid fees for the unused portion of your billing period.

We may offer features identified as beta, preview or early access. These features are provided as is, may be changed or discontinued at any time, and are not covered by any service commitment.


05Plans, fees and billing

Free plan

The Free plan is provided at no charge and has no time limit. It includes fewer features and lower limits than paid Plans, as described on our pricing page. We may change the features and limits of the Free plan on at least 30 days’ notice.

Free trial

New Accounts may try the Plus plan free of charge for 14 days. No payment method is required to start a trial. When the trial ends, your Account moves to the Free plan unless you have selected a paid Plan. We will not charge you at the end of a trial unless you have chosen to start a paid Plan.

Subscriptions and automatic renewal

Paid Plans are billed in advance on a monthly or annual basis. Your subscription renews automatically at the end of each billing period, and you authorize us to charge your payment method on file the then-current price of your Plan, plus applicable taxes, unless you cancel before the renewal date. You may cancel at any time in your Account settings.

Currency and taxes

  • Accounts are billed in US dollars (USD), except Accounts created in Nigeria, which are billed in Nigerian naira (NGN) with value added tax added at the applicable rate (currently 7.5%).
  • The billing currency is determined by the country in which your Account was created. Once an Account has been billed, it remains in the same currency.
  • When you add a payment card, our payment processor may place a small temporary verification charge, which is refunded automatically.
  • Prices exclude taxes unless otherwise stated. You are responsible for all taxes associated with your purchase, other than taxes based on our net income.

Plan changes and cancellation

  • Upgrades to a higher Plan, and changes from monthly to annual billing, take effect immediately. Where supported, you will be charged a prorated amount for the remainder of your current billing period. Depending on your billing method, some changes may take effect at your next renewal date instead.
  • Downgrades, and changes from annual to monthly billing, take effect at your next renewal date. You may downgrade only when your gallery storage and published booking services are within the limits of the new Plan.
  • If you cancel, your paid Plan remains active until the end of the current billing period, after which your Account moves to the Free plan. Cancellation does not delete your Account.

Failed payments

If a renewal payment fails, we will retry the payment and keep your Plan active during a grace period. If payment is not received by the end of the grace period, your Account moves to the Free plan.

Price changes

We may change our prices. We will notify you by email at least 30 days before a price increase applies to your subscription, and the increase will take effect from your first renewal after the notice period. If you do not agree to the new price, you may cancel before it takes effect.

Refunds

Except as stated in these Terms or required by law, fees are non-refundable, and we do not provide refunds or credits for partial billing periods or unused features. If you believe you have been charged in error, contact hello@corehue.co within 60 days of the charge.


06Client payments

The Services allow your Clients to pay invoices and booking deposits online through Stripe. To accept online payments, you must connect your own Stripe account. Payments are made directly to your Stripe account and paid out to you by Stripe. CoreHue does not receive, hold or transfer funds paid by your Clients.

You are the seller and merchant of record for all payments made by your Clients. You are solely responsible for your prices, taxes, refunds, cancellations, disputes and chargebacks, and for complying with all laws that apply to your sales. Your use of Stripe is governed by Stripe’s agreements, including the Stripe Connected Account Agreement and the Stripe Services Agreement, which you accept when you connect your account. Stripe’s processing fees apply.

CoreHue does not charge a platform fee on Client payments. We will give you at least 30 days’ notice before introducing one.

You may also record manual payment methods, such as bank transfer or cash, and allow Clients to upload proof of payment for your review. These payments are made outside the Services, and CoreHue does not verify them and is not responsible for them. Payment instructions you enter are displayed to Clients on your Public Pages.


07Your relationship with your clients

Your relationships with your Clients are solely between you and your Clients. CoreHue is not a party to them.

You are responsible for your use of the Services with your Clients, including the services you provide, the content of your proposals, contracts, invoices, questionnaires and messages, and for providing any notices and obtaining any consents required by law, including consent to collect and use Clients’ personal information, model releases, and parental or guardian consent for photos or videos of minors.

Emails and reminders you send to Clients through the Services are sent on your behalf, in your business name, with replies directed to you. You are responsible for the content of those messages and for complying with laws governing electronic communications. You may use these features only for communications relating to your work with Clients, and not for unsolicited marketing.


08Terms for Clients

This section applies if you use a User’s Public Pages, for example to send an inquiry, book a session, accept a proposal, sign a contract, pay an invoice, answer a questionnaire or view a gallery. In this section, you means the Client.

Your agreement for the services a User provides is with that User, not CoreHue. The User is responsible for their services, prices, contracts and refunds, and for how they use your personal information. Questions about a booking, payment or gallery should be directed to the User.

You agree to use Public Pages lawfully, to provide accurate information, and not to copy, download or share photos, videos or other content except as permitted by the User. Online payments are processed by Stripe under Stripe’s terms. The User’s privacy notice and our Privacy Policy describe how your information is handled.


09Contracts and electronic signatures

The Services allow you to send proposals and contracts and to collect electronic signatures. Contracts are between you and your Client. CoreHue is not a party to them and does not guarantee their performance.

Contract, proposal, questionnaire and email templates are provided as starting points for your convenience. They are not legal advice and may not be suitable for your business or comply with the laws that apply to you or your Clients. You are solely responsible for the documents you send, including reviewing and adapting any template. We recommend that you have a qualified lawyer review your contracts.

By signing electronically through the Services, you and your Clients agree that electronic records and signatures have the same legal effect as paper records and handwritten signatures, to the extent permitted by applicable law, including the US Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (ESIGN) and the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA). We keep an audit record of each signature, which may include the signer’s name, email address, IP address and the date and time of signing. Signers may download a copy of the signed contract and may request a paper copy from the sender.

Certain documents cannot be signed electronically in some jurisdictions. You are responsible for determining whether an electronic signature is appropriate for your documents.


10Your content

Ownership

As between you and CoreHue, you retain all rights in Your Content, including the copyright in your photos and videos. These Terms do not transfer ownership of Your Content to CoreHue.

License to CoreHue

You grant CoreHue a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, process, transmit and display Your Content solely as necessary to provide, secure and support the Services for you, for example to create display versions of your photos and videos, show your galleries to the Clients you choose, send your documents and back up your data. This license continues while Your Content is stored in the Services and ends when it is deleted, except for copies we are required to retain as described in Suspension and termination or by law. Our service providers may exercise this license on our behalf solely to help us provide the Services.

Restrictions on our use

  • We will not use your photographs, videos or Client information to train artificial intelligence or machine learning models.
  • We will not use Your Content in our marketing, promotional materials or advertising without your express permission, which you may withdraw at any time.
  • We will not sell Your Content or claim ownership of your Account address, custom domain or brand.

Your responsibilities

You represent that you own or have obtained all rights, licenses, releases and consents necessary to upload Your Content and use it with the Services, including the consent of individuals who appear in your photos and videos and of parents or guardians of minors.

CoreHue stores and delivers your original files exactly as you upload them and does not edit them or remove embedded metadata, such as camera serial numbers, capture dates or GPS location. When Clients download original files from your galleries, that metadata is included. You are responsible for removing any metadata you do not wish to share before uploading.

You are responsible for maintaining your own copies of Your Content. The Services are not intended to be your only archive. Account data exports do not include gallery photograph or video files.


11Storage limits

Each Plan includes a gallery storage allowance and, where the Plan includes video, a video allowance measured in minutes. If your Account exceeds an allowance, including after a trial ends, a downgrade, a cancellation or a failed payment, uploads are paused and your oldest galleries or videos may be hidden from Clients until your Account is back within the limit. On a Plan that does not include video, all videos are hidden from Clients.

Once a gallery or video has been hidden for 30 days, we will permanently delete its files, and they cannot be recovered. The 30-day period begins on the day the gallery or video is hidden. We will notify you by email when galleries or videos are hidden, send reminders before the deletion date, and confirm when files have been deleted. You may prevent deletion before the end of the period by upgrading your Plan or deleting files to free up space. A gallery or video that is back within your allowance is no longer scheduled for deletion.

Features not included in your current Plan, such as a custom domain, stop working when you move to a Plan that does not include them, and may be reconnected if you upgrade.


12Privacy and data protection

For personal information about Account holders and visitors to our websites, CoreHue is a controller and processes that information as described in our Privacy Policy.

For personal information about your Clients that you or your Clients submit to the Services, you are the controller and CoreHue processes that information on your behalf as a processor or service provider. The Data processing terms apply to that processing.


13Data processing terms

This section applies when CoreHue processes personal information about your Clients on your behalf (Client Data). It is intended to satisfy the requirements of data protection laws that apply to that processing, including US state privacy laws such as the California Consumer Privacy Act, the EU and UK General Data Protection Regulation, and similar laws in other jurisdictions. When acting as your processor or service provider, CoreHue will:

  • process Client Data only to provide the Services and in accordance with your documented instructions, which consist of these Terms and your configuration and use of the Services, unless otherwise required by law, in which case we will inform you where legally permitted;
  • not sell or share Client Data, use it for our own purposes or to train artificial intelligence models, or combine it with other data, except as necessary to provide the Services or as permitted for Usage Data below;
  • ensure that personnel authorized to process Client Data are subject to confidentiality obligations;
  • implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect Client Data, as described in our Privacy Policy;
  • engage subprocessors only within the categories described in our Privacy Policy, under written terms at least as protective as these; provide our current list of subprocessors on request to privacy@corehue.co; and give you at least 30 days’ notice, by email or in the Services, before engaging a new subprocessor, during which you may object or terminate your subscription and receive a refund of prepaid fees for the unused portion of your billing period;
  • notify you without undue delay, and where feasible within 72 hours, after becoming aware of a personal data breach affecting your Client Data, and provide information reasonably necessary for you to meet your own obligations;
  • taking into account the nature of the processing, assist you in responding to requests from individuals exercising their rights and in meeting your obligations relating to security, breach notification and data protection impact assessments;
  • transfer Client Data across borders only with appropriate safeguards, such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses and the UK International Data Transfer Addendum, which are incorporated by reference where required;
  • delete Client Data when you delete it or close your Account, as described in Suspension and termination, unless retention is required by law; and
  • make available information reasonably necessary to demonstrate compliance with this section, which may be provided through written responses, security documentation or independent audit reports.

Usage Data. CoreHue may collect information about how Clients interact with Public Pages, such as pages viewed, steps completed, errors encountered and general device and country information (Usage Data), and use it to operate, secure and improve the Services. CoreHue does not use Usage Data to identify individual Clients and does not sell or share it.

You represent that you have a lawful basis to collect Client Data and share it with CoreHue, that you have provided all required notices to your Clients, and that your instructions comply with applicable law. To request a separately executed data processing agreement, contact privacy@corehue.co.


14Acceptable use

You may not use the Services, or permit others to use them, to:

  • upload, share or link to any material that sexualizes minors. We will remove such material, terminate the Account and report it to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children and to law enforcement;
  • share sexually explicit or pornographic material, or any intimate image of a person without that person’s consent. Artistic nudity of consenting adults, such as boudoir photography, is permitted only in galleries protected by a password or restricted to specific Clients, and never on publicly accessible pages;
  • infringe or misappropriate any copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity or other right;
  • harass, threaten, defraud or deceive any person, or promote violence, hatred or discrimination;
  • send spam, unsolicited marketing or misleading messages, or collect personal information without a lawful basis;
  • collect payment card numbers, passwords, government identification numbers or similar sensitive information through forms, questionnaires or messages;
  • upload malicious code, probe or test our systems for vulnerabilities without our written permission, interfere with the Services, or circumvent any Plan limit, security measure or access control;
  • scrape, copy or resell the Services, use them to build a competing product, or reverse engineer them except as permitted by law; or
  • violate any applicable law or regulation, including export control and sanctions laws.

We may remove content or restrict access to the Services if we reasonably believe this section has been violated. Where appropriate, we will notify you and give you an opportunity to remedy the violation.


15Third-party services

The Services may be used with services provided by third parties, such as calendar, video conferencing and payment services. When you connect a third-party service, you authorize us to exchange the information necessary for the connection to work, as described in our Privacy Policy. Your use of each third-party service is governed by that provider’s terms and privacy policy.

We do not control third-party services and are not responsible for their availability, accuracy, security or data practices. An integration may stop working if the provider changes or discontinues its service.


17CoreHue intellectual property

CoreHue and its licensors own all rights in the Services, including our software, designs, text, graphics, templates and trademarks. Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable right to use the Services for your business while your Account is active. You may use and adapt our templates for your own business documents.

Public Pages on the Free plan may display a “Powered by CoreHue” badge. Paid Plans that include branding removal allow you to hide it.

If you provide feedback or suggestions about the Services, you grant us the right to use them without restriction or obligation to you. We will not identify you publicly as the source without your permission.


18Suspension and termination

Termination by you

You may cancel a paid Plan at any time, as described in Plans, fees and billing. You may delete your Account at any time in your account settings.

Suspension or termination by us

We may suspend or terminate your Account if you materially or repeatedly breach these Terms, fail to pay fees when due, if required by law, or if your use of the Services creates a risk of harm or legal liability for CoreHue, our users or others. Where reasonable, we will give you advance notice and an opportunity to remedy the issue. We may act immediately in cases of serious breach, such as fraud, illegal content or a security threat.

We may also terminate your Account for any other reason on at least 30 days’ notice. In that case, we will refund any prepaid fees for the unused portion of your billing period and allow you time to request an export of your data.

Effect of termination

Before your Account is deleted, you may export your Account data in your account settings. Gallery photograph and video files are not included in the export and should be downloaded from your galleries.

When you request deletion, your Account is scheduled for deletion following a 30-day grace period, during which you may sign in and cancel the request. At the end of the grace period, we permanently delete your Account and Your Content, except for information we are required to retain to comply with law, resolve disputes or enforce our agreements, such as invoices and payment records kept for tax and accounting purposes. Our Privacy Policy describes our retention periods.

Provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including those relating to fees owed, ownership, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification and dispute resolution.


19Disclaimers

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”, AND COREHUE DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. COREHUE DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE OR ERROR-FREE.

CoreHue does not guarantee any business results, bookings or revenue, or that your Clients will sign, pay or perform. Nothing in the Services constitutes legal, tax or financial advice.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of the above exclusions may not apply to you.


20Limitation of liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NEITHER PARTY WILL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, GOODWILL OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICES, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EACH PARTY’S TOTAL LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICES WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID TO COREHUE IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM AND (B) US$100.

These limitations do not apply to your payment obligations, either party’s indemnification obligations, liability for fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct, or any liability that cannot be limited by law.


21Indemnification

By you. You will defend, indemnify and hold harmless CoreHue from and against any third-party claims, and related losses, damages, costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of Your Content, the services you provide, your dealings with your Clients, your breach of these Terms, or your violation of any law or the rights of any third party.

By CoreHue. CoreHue will defend you against any third-party claim alleging that the Services, as provided by CoreHue and used in accordance with these Terms, infringe that party’s intellectual property rights, and will pay any damages and costs finally awarded or agreed in settlement. This obligation does not apply to claims arising from Your Content, from the combination of the Services with anything not provided by CoreHue, or from your breach of these Terms. In response to such a claim, CoreHue may modify the Services to be non-infringing, obtain the right for you to continue using them, or terminate the affected Services and refund any prepaid fees for them.

Procedure. The party seeking indemnification must promptly notify the other party of the claim, give the other party sole control of the defense and settlement, and provide reasonable cooperation. No settlement that imposes any obligation on the indemnified party may be made without its consent.


22Dispute resolution

Informal resolution

Before starting any formal proceeding, you agree to contact us at legal@corehue.co with a description of the dispute and the relief you seek, and we agree to do the same if we have a dispute with you. The parties will attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute informally for 30 days.

Binding arbitration

If a dispute is not resolved informally, you and CoreHue agree to resolve it by final and binding individual arbitration, except as provided below. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its applicable rules, will be governed by the US Federal Arbitration Act, and may be conducted by video conference or on written submissions.

For claims of US$10,000 or less that you bring, CoreHue will pay the filing and administrative fees in excess of the amount you would have paid to file a claim in court. The arbitrator may award any individual relief that a court could award.

Exceptions

Either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court, or seek injunctive relief in court to prevent the infringement or misappropriation of intellectual property or confidential information. Nothing in these Terms prevents you from filing a complaint with a data protection authority or exercising rights that cannot be waived under applicable law.

Class action waiver

YOU AND COREHUE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS, COLLECTIVE OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. If 25 or more similar demands for arbitration are filed by or with the assistance of the same or coordinated counsel, they may be administered in batches. If this class action waiver is found unenforceable as to any claim, that claim will proceed in court and not in arbitration.

Right to opt out

You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by emailing legal@corehue.co within 30 days after you first accept these Terms, stating your name, your Account email address and that you opt out of arbitration. Opting out does not affect any other provision of these Terms.


23Governing law and venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of laws rules, and by the Federal Arbitration Act with respect to the arbitration agreement in Dispute resolution. Subject to that agreement, any court proceeding will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Delaware, and each party consents to their jurisdiction.

If you reside outside the United States, this choice of law does not deprive you of the protection of any mandatory provisions of the law of your country of residence.


24Changes to these Terms

We may modify these Terms from time to time. We will post the updated Terms on this page and update the date above. For material changes, we will provide at least 30 days’ notice by email or in the Services before the changes take effect, except where a change is required by law or relates to a new feature, in which case it may take effect sooner.

If you do not agree to a change, you may cancel your subscription before the change takes effect and receive a refund of any prepaid fees for the unused portion of your billing period. We may ask you to accept updated Terms before you continue to use the Services. Your continued use of the Services after a change takes effect also constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.


25General

  • Support. Help articles are available at help.corehue.co. You can contact support at hello@corehue.co.
  • Entire agreement. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any terms presented at the time of purchase, constitute the entire agreement between you and CoreHue regarding the Services.
  • Notices. You consent to receive notices, receipts and other communications electronically, including by email to your Account email address and within the Services. Legal notices to CoreHue must be sent to legal@corehue.co, with a copy to CoreHue Inc., 8 The Green, Ste A, Dover, DE 19901, USA.
  • Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization or sale of assets, and will notify you if we do.
  • Force majeure. Neither party is liable for any delay or failure to perform caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including natural disasters, war, internet or utility failures, or governmental action.
  • Relationship of the parties. The parties are independent contractors. These Terms do not create any partnership, joint venture, employment, agency or fiduciary relationship.
  • Severability and waiver. If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect. Our failure to enforce any right is not a waiver of that right.
  • Export controls and sanctions. You represent that you are not located in, or ordinarily resident in, a country or region subject to comprehensive US sanctions, and that you are not on any US government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
  • Language. These Terms are written in English. Any translation is provided for convenience only, and the English version controls.
