Terms of Service

Effective Date: October 8, 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) constitute a legally binding agreement between you (“you,” “User,” “Client,” or “Provider”) and WorldKam LLC (“WorldKam,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), a Delaware limited liability company located at 1201 North Market Street, Suite 111, Wilmington, DE 19801.

By accessing or using the WorldKam mobile application, website, or any related services (collectively, the “Platform”), creating an account, or checking the box indicating your acceptance, you agree to be bound by these Terms, our Privacy Policy, our Cancellation Policy, and, if you act as a Provider, the Provider Agreement, each of which is incorporated herein by reference.

IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, DO NOT ACCESS OR USE THE PLATFORM.

PLEASE READ SECTION 18 (BINDING ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER) CAREFULLY. IT REQUIRES THAT MOST DISPUTES BE RESOLVED THROUGH INDIVIDUAL BINDING ARBITRATION AND WAIVES YOUR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND TO PARTICIPATE IN CLASS ACTIONS.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least eighteen (18) years of age and capable of forming a legally binding contract to use the Platform. By using the Platform, you represent and warrant that you meet this requirement. The Platform is not directed to, and we do not knowingly collect information from, anyone under 18.

3. Description of the Platform; WorldKam's Role as a Marketplace

WorldKam operates a technology platform that connects individuals and businesses seeking photography, videography, and related creative services (“Clients”) with independent professional service providers (“Providers”).

WorldKam is a venue and neutral marketplace. We do not employ Providers, do not direct or control the manner in which services are performed, and are not a party to the agreement for services formed between a Client and a Provider. We do not provide photography or videography services ourselves. Providers are independent contractors, not employees, agents, partners, or joint venturers of WorldKam.

WorldKam does not guarantee the quality, safety, legality, or timeliness of any services booked through the Platform, nor the accuracy of any listing or User content. Any dispute regarding services is between the Client and the Provider, though WorldKam may, at its sole discretion, facilitate resolution.

4. Account Registration and Security

You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and to keep it updated. You are responsible for safeguarding your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You may not share your account, allow others to use your account, or transfer your account to another person. Notify us immediately at [email protected] of any unauthorized use.

5. Bookings, Payments, and Third-Party Fees

5.1 Booking. When a Client books a Provider, a direct contract for services is formed between them, subject to these Terms and the Cancellation Policy.

5.2 Payment Processing. WorldKam uses third-party payment processors (including Stripe) to facilitate payments. By using the Platform, you agree to the applicable processor's terms of service. WorldKam assists with payment facilitation but does not store full payment card data.

5.3 Third-Party Fees Are Non-Refundable and Passed Through. Payment processing fees, banking fees, currency conversion fees, and other charges imposed by third parties (including Stripe and financial institutions) are outside WorldKam's control. These third-party fees are passed through to and borne by the Client or Provider, as applicable, and are non-refundable, including in the event of a cancellation or refund, except where required by law. WorldKam does not retain third-party processing fees.

5.4 Service Fees. WorldKam may charge service fees, commissions, or other fees, which will be disclosed before you complete a transaction.

6. Subscriptions and California Automatic Renewal Law (ARL) Compliance

6.1 Subscription Terms. Certain features may be offered on a recurring subscription basis. Before you are charged, we will present clear and conspicuous disclosure of: (a) the recurring nature of the subscription and that it will automatically renew; (b) the subscription length and billing frequency; (c) the recurring charge amount (or the range/method of determining it); (d) the cancellation policy; and (e) the method to cancel.

6.2 Affirmative Consent. We will obtain your affirmative consent to the subscription, including the automatic-renewal and continuous-service terms, before charging you.

6.3 Automatic Renewal. Unless you cancel, your subscription automatically renews at the end of each billing period at the then-current rate, and your payment method will be charged. You authorize us to charge the applicable recurring fees until you cancel.

6.4 Easy Cancellation. You may cancel at any time through an easy-to-use online mechanism in your account settings or app store subscription settings, or by contacting [email protected]. If you accepted the subscription online, you may cancel online without obstacles. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period; we do not provide prorated refunds for partial periods unless required by law.

6.5 Acknowledgment Notice. After purchase, we will provide an acknowledgment that includes the automatic-renewal terms, cancellation information, and how to cancel, in a manner you can retain.

6.6 Material Changes. If we materially change subscription terms, we will provide clear and conspicuous notice and obtain consent as required by applicable law.

7. User-Generated Content (UGC)

7.1 Your Content. The Platform allows Users to upload, post, or transmit photos, videos, audio, text, reviews, and other content (“User Content”). You retain ownership of your User Content, subject to the license below and to any separate agreement between Client and Provider regarding deliverable ownership.

7.2 License to WorldKam. You grant WorldKam a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable, and transferable license to host, store, reproduce, display, and distribute your User Content solely as necessary to operate, provide, improve, secure, and promote the Platform. For Providers, marketing/portfolio use is governed additionally by the Provider Agreement and any model/property releases.

7.3 Your Representations. You represent and warrant that you own or have all necessary rights to your User Content and that it does not infringe any third party's intellectual property, privacy, or other rights, and does not violate any law.

7.4 Image Storage Limit. Certain services allow deliverables, and uploaded session content may be stored on the Platform for a limited period (currently up to thirty (60) days after delivery) after which they may be deleted. Clients and Providers are responsible for downloading and independently storing their content. WorldKam is not a permanent backup or archival service.

7.5 No Obligation to Monitor. We are not obligated to monitor User Content but may remove or disable any content that violates these Terms or applicable law, at our sole discretion.

8. DMCA Copyright Policy and Takedown Procedure

WorldKam respects intellectual property rights and complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”). It is our policy to remove infringing material and to terminate, in appropriate circumstances, repeat infringers.

8.1 Notice of Infringement. If you believe content on the Platform infringes your copyright, send a written notice to our Designated Agent containing: (a) a physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or authorized agent; (b) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed; (c) identification of the infringing material and information reasonably sufficient to locate it; (d) your contact information (address, telephone, email); (e) a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and (f) a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information is accurate and that you are the owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf.

The following are strictly prohibited and constitute material breaches:

10.1 Fake or Manipulated Bookings. Creating bookings with no intent to complete them, self-booking to manipulate ratings, or colluding to extract refunds or fees.

10.2 Wrongful Retention of Deliverables. A Provider retaining, withholding, or refusing to deliver Client images/videos to extract additional payment off-Platform, or a Client improperly retaining deliverables while pursuing a chargeback.

10.3 Dispute and Chargeback Abuse. Filing false disputes or chargebacks, or abusing the refund/cancellation system.

10.4 Identity Fraud. Misrepresenting identity, credentials, or insurance, or using another person's account.

We may investigate suspected fraud, withhold or reverse payments, suspend accounts, and report to processors and authorities.

11. Keep-It-On-Platform; No Circumvention

11.1 Booking and Payment On-Platform. All bookings, communications regarding bookings, and payments must occur through the Platform. Users may not share personal contact information (phone, email, social handles, payment apps) for the purpose of arranging or paying for services off-Platform.

11.2 No Circumvention. Clients and Providers introduced through the Platform may not circumvent the Platform to transact off-Platform for services that originated through WorldKam. Provider obligations are further governed by the non-circumvention and Off-Platform Activity Fee provisions of the Provider Agreement.

11.3 Communications Recording. Communications conducted through the Platform (including in-app messaging and, where applicable, calls/SMS) may be recorded and monitored for safety, quality, and dispute resolution. By using these features you consent to such recording where permitted by law.

12. Provider-Specific Terms (Summary)

Providers are independent contractors and are additionally bound by the WorldKam Provider Agreement. Providers must: maintain their own equipment in good working order; carry any legally required licenses, permits, and insurance; disclose and remain responsible for any second shooter or assistant operating under their account; deliver at minimum the agreed deliverables (and in no event fewer than five (5) edited images or one (1) finished short video per standard session unless otherwise agreed); and comply with all Community Guidelines. In the event of conflict between these Terms and the Provider Agreement, the Provider Agreement controls for Providers.

13. Cancellations and Refunds

Cancellations, rescheduling, no-shows, and refunds are governed by the WorldKam Cancellation Policy, incorporated by reference and presented for acceptance at booking. Third-party processing fees are non-refundable as described in Section 5.3.

14. Privacy and Data; CCPA/GDPR

Your use of the Platform is subject to our Privacy Policy, incorporated by reference. The Privacy Policy describes the data we collect, including through third-party analytics and advertising tools (such as Google Analytics and the Meta Pixel), and explains how, under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA), certain sharing of data with these tools may be treated as a “sale” or “sharing,” and how you can exercise your right to opt out via our “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” mechanism. It also describes rights available under the GDPR. Please review the Privacy Policy carefully.

15. Email and Marketing Communications (CAN-SPAM)

By creating an account, you consent to receive transactional communications necessary to operate the Platform. You may also receive marketing communications. All marketing emails will: (a) use honest, non-deceptive subject lines and headers; (b) include a clear and functional unsubscribe/opt-out link; and (c) include WorldKam's valid physical mailing address. We will honor opt-out requests promptly as required by the CAN-SPAM Act. Opting out of marketing emails does not stop transactional or service-related messages. SMS/text messages, where offered, require separate consent and may be subject to message and data rates.

16. Intellectual Property; WorldKam Marks

The Platform, including its software, design, text, graphics, and the WorldKam name and logos, is owned by WorldKam and protected by intellectual property laws. We grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Platform for its intended purpose. You may not copy, modify, reverse engineer, scrape, or create derivative works of the Platform.

17. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability

17.2 No Liability for Third-Party Conduct. WorldKam is not liable for the acts, omissions, conduct, or services of Clients or Providers, or for any disputes between them.

17.3 Force Majeure. Neither WorldKam nor any User shall be liable for failure to perform due to events beyond reasonable control (including weather, natural disasters, acts of God, equipment failure, civil unrest, pandemic, or government action). Such events are handled under the Cancellation Policy.

17.4 Limitation. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WORLDKAM'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE PLATFORM OR THESE TERMS SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE TOTAL FEES YOU PAID TO WORLDKAM IN THE SIX (6) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100). WORLDKAM SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR LOST PROFITS OR DATA.

18. Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.

18.1 Agreement to Arbitrate. Except as set out below, you and WorldKam agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Platform (a “Dispute”) shall be resolved exclusively by final and binding individual arbitration, rather than in court.

18.2 Informal Resolution First. Before initiating arbitration, the party raising a Dispute must send a written notice describing the claim and requested relief to the other (to WorldKam at [email protected]). The parties will attempt in good faith to resolve the Dispute for sixty (60) days.

18.3 Arbitration Rules and Forum. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, as modified by these Terms. The arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator. Information about the AAA and its rules is available at www.adr.org.

18.4 Location and Format. For claims where an in-person hearing is held, it will take place in Wilmington, Delaware, or another mutually agreed location; the parties may also agree to telephonic, video, or documents-only proceedings.

18.5 Fees. Payment of filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA rules. Where applicable rules require, WorldKam will pay or reimburse fees as necessary to make arbitration enforceable.

18.6 Arbitrator Authority. The arbitrator has exclusive authority to resolve any Dispute, including the scope and enforceability of this arbitration agreement. The arbitrator may award the same relief a court could on an individual basis.

18.7 CLASS ACTION WAIVER. YOU AND WORLDKAM 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. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE CLAIMS OR PRESIDE OVER ANY CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.

18.8 30-Day Opt-Out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending written notice to [email protected] within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms, stating your name, account, and intent to opt out. Opting out does not affect any other provision of these Terms.

18.9 Exceptions. Either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court, and either party may seek injunctive relief for intellectual property or unauthorized-access claims, in court.

18.10 Jury Trial Waiver. Except where arbitration does not apply, YOU AND WORLDKAM WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.

19. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless WorldKam and its officers, members, employees, and agents from any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your use of the Platform; (b) your User Content; (c) your violation of these Terms or any law; or (d) your services or interactions with another User.

20. Suspension and Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access at any time, with or without notice, for any violation of these Terms or for any conduct we determine to be harmful to the Platform or other Users. You may close your account at any time. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including Sections 5.3, 7–11, 16–19, and 21) shall survive.

21. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles, except that the Federal Arbitration Act governs Section 18. Subject to Section 18, the state and federal courts located in Delaware shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any matters not subject to arbitration.

22. Changes to These Terms

We may modify these Terms at any time. Material changes will be communicated via the Platform or email. Your continued use after changes become effective constitutes acceptance. If you do not agree, you must stop using the Platform.

23. Miscellaneous

These Terms, together with the incorporated policies, constitute the entire agreement between you and WorldKam. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect. Our failure to enforce any right is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms; we may assign them freely. Headings are for convenience only.

24. Price Match Guarantee

Providers agree not to offer a lower price directly to a client or advertise anywhere else a price lower than the rate offered for booking their services through the WorldKam Platform. In the event of a price discrepancy where a lower price was offered or advertised elsewhere by the Provider for the same service, the Provider will directly reimburse the Client for the price difference.
