the images until after she provided the album to her partner in February of While she did receive her images days late, the product itself arrived months in advance of when she needed the albumThe contract states that products are delivered weeks from the time of the order, and also that the photographer is not responsible for delays in delivery due to shipping and vendor delaysWhen [redacted]

mailed out the following dayShe provided her address so that I could send them to herAfter this event occurred, I contacted the company I use for my apps to inform them of what occurred and to let them know I would be switching companies if they could not provide password protectionI also asked them to look further into the viewing of the app to confirm if the app had been deleted and/or when it had been viewedA running log was made available to me via the backend of the companyI was shocked to see that [redacted] , as a mental health professional in our community, and someone who was so

contract with her, images are to be available for a year after the session has occurredIt is not uncommon, and has occurred repeatedly, where a client’s CD or album is damaged or destroyed and they would like to have the imagesTo ensure that they are available per the term of the contractI make a copy to an external drive to ensure the images are available if this were to ever occur (this was stated at the reveal session when the image numbers were written down as well)This external copy would have been utilized to place the order of the metal wall art that [redacted] has declined given

my personal and professional lifeI voiced my complaints and concerns to the business and also asked for a partial refundMy request for a partial refund was based both on the delays of receiving the product that I had ordered and my apprehension regarding the security of my product photosI asked for a response from the business within days and did not receive any response or reply from the photographer.”Our Response: Per [redacted] ’s letter to me, her request for a 50% refund was based on delay of her product arriving and her belief of my lack of responsibility:“Nonetheless, I feel that I deserve a partial (minimum percent) refund of my purchase based on the incessant delays of my album and the accompanied deflection of responsibilityI do not feel that images copied to a CD or image prints rectifies the situation“ In regards to [redacted] ’s concerns of her images security being breechedThey have not been, which can easily be determined via IP addresses, my website, social
