Return Policy

Our Commitment to Satisfaction

At Sieveboostspine, we are committed to providing high-quality document photography services that meet your needs and official requirements. We understand that your photos are important for official documents, and we strive to ensure your complete satisfaction with our services.

This Return Policy outlines the terms and conditions under which we offer refunds, retakes, and other remedies for our photography services. Please read this policy carefully before using our services.

Photo Retake Guarantee

We stand behind the quality of our work. If your photos are rejected by an official agency (such as the U.S. Department of State, USCIS, or a foreign embassy) due to technical issues within our control, we will provide a complimentary retake session. This guarantee applies when:

• The rejection is due to technical photo quality issues (lighting, focus, background)
• The rejection is due to incorrect sizing or cropping by our studio
• The rejection is due to printing defects or damage
• You present official documentation of the rejection within 60 days of your original session

Retake Guarantee Exclusions

Our retake guarantee does not cover rejections that occur due to:

• Changes in official agency requirements after the photos were taken
• Customer-specified requirements that differ from official standards
• Changes in the applicant's appearance after the photo session
• Damage to photos caused by the customer after delivery
• Rejection reasons unrelated to photo quality (application errors, eligibility issues)
• Submissions made more than 6 months after the photo session

Refund Policy

• Significant delays in service delivery that were not communicated in advance

Partial Refund Eligibility

You may be eligible for a partial refund in the following situations:

• You cancel your appointment less than 24 hours before the scheduled time (50% refund)
• You are dissatisfied with non-essential aspects of the service that do not affect photo compliance
• Partial delivery of services (e.g., digital files delivered but prints unavailable)

Non-Refundable Services

The following services and situations are not eligible for refunds:

• Completed photo sessions where photos meet the requested specifications
• Digital files that have already been delivered and downloaded

Exchanges and Reprints

Reprint Requests

If you need additional copies of your photos, we offer reprints at a reduced rate within 30 days of your original session. After 30 days, your images are deleted from our system, and a new session will be required.

Format Exchanges

If you need your photos in a different format or size than originally ordered, we can accommodate this request within 30 days of your session. Standard fees apply for different format sizes.

Quality Concerns

If you have any concerns about the quality of your photos, please bring them to our attention immediately. We encourage you to review your photos before leaving our studio. Our staff is happy to take additional shots during your session to ensure your satisfaction.

Quality Review Process

If you notice quality issues after leaving our studio:

• Contact us within 7 days of your session
• Bring or send the photos in question for our review
• Our team will assess the issue and determine the appropriate remedy
• Remedies may include retakes, reprints, or refunds depending on the issue

Damaged or Defective Products

If you receive photos that are damaged, defective, or materially different from what was ordered, please contact us immediately. We will either replace the defective items or provide a full refund for the defective portion of your order.

To report damaged or defective products:

• Contact us within 48 hours of receiving your photos
• Provide photos or description of the damage/defect
• Retain the damaged products for potential inspection

Special Circumstances

Group Sessions

For group photo sessions, refund and retake policies apply to individual participants. If one member of a group is dissatisfied, we will work to remedy that individual's photos without affecting the charges for satisfied participants.

Gift Certificates and Prepaid Services

Gift certificates and prepaid session packages are non-refundable but may be transferred to another person. Unused portions of prepaid packages do not expire but must be used within 12 months of purchase.

Dispute Resolution

If you are not satisfied with the resolution of your refund or return request, you may escalate the matter by:

• Requesting a review by our management team
• Contacting us in writing with details of your complaint
• We will respond to escalated complaints within 5 business days

Policy Updates

We reserve the right to modify this Return Policy at any time. Changes will be effective immediately upon posting to our website. Your continued use of our services after any changes indicates your acceptance of the new terms.
