Terms of Service and Use

Effective date: July 27, 2026 Last updated: July 27, 2026

1. Acceptance of these terms

1.1 These Terms of Service and Use (the “Terms”) govern your access to and use of gaberene.com and any other website, subdomain, landing page, client portal, gallery, form, or online offering operated by Gabe Rene LLC that links to these Terms (collectively, the “Site”).

1.2 Gabe Rene LLC is a Texas limited liability company with its principal place of business in Kerrville, Texas (“Gabe Rene LLC,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). Gabe Rene LLC operates several divisions and assumed names, including GR Weddings, GR Studio & Co., GR After Dark, GR Portraits, and Trendy Booth. Each of those is a division of Gabe Rene LLC and not a separate legal entity.

1.3 By accessing or using the Site, you agree to be bound by these Terms and by all terms incorporated by reference, including our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Site.

1.4 If you use the Site on behalf of a company or other organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization, and “you” refers to both you and that organization.

2. Changes to these terms

2.1 We may revise these Terms at any time. When we do, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page and, where the change is material, provide additional notice by email or by a notice on the Site.

2.2 Unless we state otherwise, revised Terms take effect when posted. Your continued use of the Site after that point confirms your acceptance. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, stop using the Site.

2.3 Revised Terms do not retroactively change a service agreement you have already signed.

3. Eligibility

3.1 The Site is intended for people who are at least 18 years old. By using the Site you represent that you are 18 or older, or that you are using the Site under the supervision of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to these Terms.

3.2 Certain content, including any content relating to our GR After Dark division, is intended solely for adults 18 years of age or older and may contain material some viewers find explicit. Accessing that content requires you to affirm that you are 18 or older and that viewing such material is lawful in your jurisdiction. Do not access that content if either statement is untrue.

3.3 The Site is directed to users in the United States. We make no representation that the Site or its content is appropriate or available in other locations.

4. The site is marketing, not an offer

4.1 Content on the Site, including service descriptions, package names, sample pricing, portfolio work, availability language, and calls to action, is provided for general informational and promotional purposes. It is an invitation to inquire. It is not an offer capable of acceptance and it does not create a contract.

4.2 Pricing displayed on the Site is subject to change without notice and may not reflect your project. Pricing becomes fixed only in a written proposal issued to you, and only for the period stated in that proposal.

4.3 Portfolio work shown on the Site reflects past projects performed under conditions specific to those projects. It is not a promise of any particular result, deliverable, style, turnaround, or outcome for your project.

4.4 We may change, suspend, or discontinue any service, package, or portion of the Site at any time.

5. Your service agreement controls

5.1 If you engage us, the terms of your project are governed by the written service agreement, proposal, statement of work, or contract you sign (your “Service Agreement”), together with any invoices and questionnaires referenced in it.

5.2 In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between these Terms and your Service Agreement, your Service Agreement controls with respect to the subject matter of that project.

5.3 Booking, retainers and deposits, payment schedules, rescheduling, cancellation, coverage, delivery timelines, licensing scope, and travel are all governed by your Service Agreement. Nothing on the Site modifies those terms.

5.4 A date, session, or event is not reserved until both a signed Service Agreement and the required payment have been received. Dates are offered first come, first served.

6. Intellectual property in our work

6.1 The Site and its contents, including all photographs, video, film, illustrations, graphics, text, copy, layouts, designs, logos, audio, and software, are owned by Gabe Rene LLC or our licensors and are protected by United States and international copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

6.2 Photographs and video produced by Gabe Rene LLC are original works of authorship. We retain copyright in all such works at all times, including works produced for a client, unless copyright is expressly transferred to you in a signed writing. A paid invoice does not transfer copyright.

6.3 Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to access and view the Site for your own personal, non-commercial use. That is the entire license. All other rights are reserved.

6.4 You may not, without our prior written permission:

(a) download, copy, reproduce, republish, upload, post, transmit, or distribute any image, video, or other content from the Site, except for temporary browser caching incidental to normal viewing;

(b) crop, edit, filter, recolor, retouch, add to, or otherwise alter any of our images or video;

(c) remove, obscure, or alter any copyright notice, watermark, credit, or metadata;

(d) use any content from the Site for any commercial purpose, including in advertising, on a product, or in a portfolio of your own;

(e) create derivative works based on the Site or its content; or

(f) use any content from the Site in a manner that suggests endorsement, sponsorship, or affiliation that does not exist.

6.5 Sharing a link to a page on the Site, or using a platform’s native share function where we have enabled it, is permitted and encouraged.

7. No AI training, scraping, or automated extraction

7.1 We expressly prohibit, and expressly reserve all rights against, the use of any content on the Site, including all photographs and video, for the purpose of training, fine-tuning, grounding, retrieval-augmented generation, evaluating, or otherwise developing or improving any artificial intelligence, machine learning, generative, or large language model system.

7.2 This prohibition applies to you, to any agent acting for you, and to any automated system you operate or direct. It applies whether or not the resulting model reproduces our content.

7.3 We expressly reserve our rights under Article 4(3) of Directive (EU) 2019/790 to opt out of text and data mining, and assert every equivalent reservation available under any other applicable law. Machine-readable reservations are also expressed in our robots.txt file and in file metadata.

7.4 You may not use any robot, spider, crawler, scraper, headless browser, data mining tool, or other automated means to access, extract, index, or collect content or data from the Site, except for a public search engine crawler operating in compliance with our robots.txt file.

7.5 You may not bypass, disable, or circumvent any technical measure we use to restrict access to the Site or to any gallery, portal, or password-protected area.

8. Trademarks

8.1 Gabe Rene LLC, Gabe Rene, GR Weddings, GR Studio & Co., GR After Dark, GR Portraits, Trendy Booth, TX Brand Audit, our logos and marks, our slogans and taglines, and the overall look and feel of the Site are trademarks and trade dress of Gabe Rene LLC.

8.2 You may not copy, imitate, modify, or use any of them, in whole or in part, without our prior written permission.

8.3 All other trademarks, product names, and company names referenced on the Site are the property of their respective owners. Reference to a third party or its products does not imply endorsement, sponsorship, or recommendation by that party or by us.

9. Your content

9.1 The Site may allow you to submit, post, or transmit content, including inquiry form responses, questionnaire answers, comments, messages, reference images, brand materials, files, and other materials (“Your Content”).

9.2 As between you and us, you retain ownership of Your Content.

9.3 You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, fully paid, sublicensable, and transferable license to host, store, reproduce, modify (for formatting and display), and use Your Content solely as necessary to operate the Site, respond to you, and perform services you have engaged us to perform.

9.4 If you want us to use Your Content in our marketing or portfolio, that requires your separate written permission, which is normally handled in your Service Agreement or a release. We will not publish Your Content as marketing without it.

9.5 You represent and warrant that you own or have all rights necessary to submit Your Content and to grant the license in Section 9.3, and that Your Content does not infringe or violate the rights of any person or entity.

9.6 We are not obligated to screen, monitor, store, or back up Your Content, and we may remove or delete it at any time, with or without notice.

10. Prohibited conduct

You will not, and will not attempt to:

(a) violate any applicable law, regulation, contract, or third-party right in connection with your use of the Site;

(b) harass, threaten, intimidate, defame, stalk, or harm any person;

(c) impersonate any person or entity, or misrepresent your affiliation with any person or entity;

(d) access another user’s account, gallery, or portal without authorization;

(e) share a gallery password, portal credential, or access link with anyone not authorized to receive it;

(i) interfere with, disrupt, overburden, or impair the Site, its servers, or its networks, including by denial of service attack or excessive automated requests;

(j) probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the Site or breach any security or authentication measure;

(k) send spam, chain letters, pyramid schemes, or unsolicited bulk commercial communications through or about the Site;

(l) collect or harvest personal information about other users;

(m) ignore or bypass instructions in our robots.txt file or similar files; or

(n) post or transmit content that is unlawful, defamatory, obscene, pornographic (outside a context where we have expressly provided for it), invasive of privacy or publicity rights, infringing, or that contains any third party’s private information without consent.

Enforcement of this Section is at our sole discretion. Failure to enforce it in one instance is not a waiver of our right to enforce it in another. This Section creates no private right of action for any third party and no expectation that the Site is free of prohibited content.

11. Feedback

If you send us questions, comments, suggestions, ideas, or other feedback about us or the Site (“Feedback”), we may use it for any purpose, commercial or otherwise, without acknowledgment, compensation, or obligation to you. We may treat Feedback as non-confidential. Do not send us Feedback you consider confidential or proprietary.

12. Copyright complaints and repeat infringers

12.1 We respect intellectual property rights and expect the same. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 512, we have adopted a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, the access or accounts of users who repeatedly infringe the rights of others.

12.2 If you believe content on the Site infringes a copyright you own or control, send a written notice to our designated agent:

DMCA Designated Agent Gabe Rene LLC PO Box 1131, Ingram, TX 78025 gabe@gaberene.com

12.3 Your notice must include the elements required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), which are: a physical or electronic signature; identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed; identification of the material claimed to be infringing and information reasonably sufficient to let us locate it; your contact information; a statement that you have a good faith belief the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner.

12.4 If you knowingly materially misrepresent that material is infringing, you may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees, under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f).

12.5 If your material was removed and you believe that was a mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notification meeting the requirements of 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3) to the same address.

13. Third-party services, content, and links

13.1 The Site links to and integrates with services operated by third parties, including our booking and CRM platform, our email platform, payment processors, gallery hosts, scheduling tools, form providers, analytics and advertising platforms, and social media networks.

13.2 Your use of a third-party service is governed by that party’s terms and privacy policy, not ours. We do not control those services and we are not responsible for them.

13.3 We may present information about third-party organizations, vendors, venues, events, products, or services. We do not endorse or warrant any of it, and your dealings with any third party are solely between you and that party.

13.4 Outbound links open at your own risk.

14. Disclaimers

14.1 YOUR USE OF THE SITE IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY STATED BY US IN A SIGNED WRITING, THE SITE AND ALL CONTENT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED.

14.2 TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.

14.3 We do not warrant that the Site is accurate, complete, reliable, current, uninterrupted, secure, or error free, or that the Site or its servers are free of viruses or other harmful components. You assume the entire risk as to the quality and performance of the Site.

14.4 Nothing on the Site is legal, tax, financial, or professional advice.

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

15. Limitation of liability

15.1 TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, GABE RENE LLC AND ITS MEMBERS, MANAGERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, SERVICE PROVIDERS, CONSULTANTS, AGENTS, AND PARTNERS (TOGETHER, THE “GABE RENE PARTIES”) WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SITE, UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

15.2 TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF THE GABE RENE PARTIES FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SITE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE TOTAL AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100).

15.3 Liability arising from services performed under a Service Agreement is governed by the limitation of liability in that Service Agreement, not by this Section.

15.4 These limitations apply regardless of the form of action and survive any failure of essential purpose of any limited remedy.

15.5 Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability for certain damages. In those jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the greatest extent permitted by law.

16. Indemnification

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Gabe Rene Parties from and against any claims, demands, losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, penalties, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of or relating to (a) Your Content or Feedback; (b) your breach of these Terms; (c) your violation, misappropriation, or infringement of any rights of another, including intellectual property and privacy rights; or (d) your misconduct in connection with the Site. You will promptly notify us of any such claim, cooperate in the defense, and pay all associated fees and costs. We reserve the right, at our expense, to assume exclusive control of the defense and settlement of any matter subject to indemnification by you.

17. Electronic communications and consent to contact

17.1 By using the Site or providing your contact information to us, you consent to receive communications from us electronically, including by email, text message, and notices posted on the Site. You agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications we provide electronically satisfy any legal requirement that they be in writing.

17.2 Your carrier’s standard message and data rates apply to any communications you receive by text message.

17.3 Detailed terms for our text message programs are in Section 18. Detailed terms for our email marketing are in Section 19.

18. Text message (SMS) program terms

18.1 Programs. We operate three separate text message programs:

(a) Trendy Booth photo delivery. At an event, a guest may enter a mobile number at the booth to receive their photos, GIF, or video by text.

(b) Client project communications. Booked clients may receive texts from us about their session, event, or wedding, including scheduling, logistics, day-of coordination, and delivery notices.

(c) Marketing messages. Promotional texts about services, availability, offers, and news.

18.2 Consent. You must opt in to receive texts. Consent to receive marketing texts is not a condition of purchasing any product or service. Consent to one program is not consent to another. We will not enroll you in the marketing program because you received a booth photo.

18.3 Frequency. Message frequency varies. Booth delivery is typically one to three messages per event. Marketing messages are typically no more than four per month.

18.4 Cost. Message and data rates may apply. We do not charge for the messages themselves. Your mobile carrier may.

18.5 Opt out. Reply STOP to any message to stop receiving messages from that program. You will receive one confirmation message. To stop all programs, reply STOP to each, or email us.

18.6 Help. Reply HELP for assistance, or contact us at gabe@gaberene.com or 210.802.6055.

18.7 Carriers. Mobile carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. Neither we nor any participating carrier guarantees that messages will be delivered.

18.8 Changes. We may modify or discontinue any text program at any time without notice.

18.9 Eligibility. You must be 18 or older and the authorized account holder or user of the mobile number you provide. Do not enter someone else’s number. If you change or give up a mobile number, notify us so we do not text the next person who has it.

19. Email communications

19.1 If you inquire, book, or subscribe, we may send you transactional email about your inquiry or project. Transactional email is necessary to provide the service and is not marketing.

19.2 Marketing email is sent only to people who opt in. Every marketing email includes an unsubscribe link that works. Unsubscribing from marketing does not stop transactional email about an active project.

19.3 We comply with the CAN-SPAM Act, 15 U.S.C. § 7701 et seq.

20. Accessibility

20.1 We want the Site usable by as many people as possible and we work toward conformance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA.

20.2 Accessibility is ongoing work and some content, including third-party embeds and older portfolio galleries, may not yet fully conform.

20.3 If you encounter a barrier on the Site, email gabe@gaberene.com or call 210.802.6055 with the page and the problem. We will work with you to get you the information or service you need.

21. Termination

21.1 We may suspend or terminate your access to the Site at any time, for any reason, with or without notice, including for any breach of these Terms.

21.2 You may stop using the Site at any time.

21.3 Sections 6, 7, 8, 9.3, 11, 14, 15, 16, 22, and 23 survive termination.

21.4 We are not responsible for any loss or harm related to your inability to access or use the Site.

22. Governing law, venue, and dispute resolution

22.1 Informal resolution first. Before filing any claim, you agree to contact us at gabe@gaberene.com with a written description of the dispute and to work with us in good faith for at least thirty (30) days to resolve it. Most disputes end here.

22.2 Governing law. These Terms and any dispute arising out of them or your use of the Site are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to conflict of law rules, except to the extent preempted by United States federal law.

22.3 Venue. You and we agree that any dispute not resolved informally will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts sitting in Kerr County, Texas. You consent to personal jurisdiction and venue in those courts and waive any objection based on inconvenient forum.

22.4 Limitations period. To the extent permitted by law, any claim arising out of these Terms or the Site must be filed within one (1) year after it arose, or it is permanently barred.

22.5 Nothing in this Section prevents either party from seeking injunctive or equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect intellectual property rights.

23. General

23.1 Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision is severed and the remaining provisions stay in full force.

23.2 No waiver. Our failure to enforce any right or provision is not a waiver of that right or provision.

23.3 Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign them freely, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

23.4 Entire agreement. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any Service Agreement you have signed, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Site and supersede all prior understandings on that subject.

23.5 No third-party beneficiaries. Except for the Gabe Rene Parties identified in Sections 15 and 16, these Terms confer no rights on any third party.

23.6 Headings. Section headings are for convenience only and have no legal effect.

23.7 Force majeure. We are not liable for any failure or delay caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including natural disaster, severe weather, fire, flood, illness, epidemic, labor dispute, utility or network failure, or governmental action.
